Put up a line or two from an 80s song for people to guess.

Starting you off with...

you feel the cold hand
And wonder if you'll ever see the sun

The Depeche Mode one is Blasphemous Rumours, so is the lyric, not desperate.

How about "who do you want me to be, to make you sleep with me"?

Obsession (My Obsession?) - Animotion

How about:

One man on a lonely platform
One case sitting by his side
Two eyes staring cold and silent
Show fear as he turns to hide

I did add some lyrics in the earlier thread, but not sure if anyone answered:

This is not even worth a point of view.

The very first time I saw your face I thought of a song and quickly changed the tune

I must be super-hungover, cos I don't know any of the outstanding ones. The cure, you say, Devoil? Can't think which one.

Yes! Primary!

This is why events unnerve me, they find it all a different story, notice whom the wheels are turning, turn again and turn towards this time
