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

Here's a bit more from my unsolved one...

Boneys high on china white
Shorty found a punk
Don't you know there ain't no devil...

RiftGibbon · 02/06/2020 20:47

And to the best of my knowledge the original was 1980, with a cover in 1993.

The line that follows the two above differs in the cover (which is amazing).

I’d love to join in if I may (see username Grin)

@JaggedHedge - Marc Almond, Love and Little White Lies!

I couldn’t read the full thread as I’d never catch up so hope this one hasn’t been done:

Sitting in the corner in imperfect clothes, trying not to pose
For the cameras and the girls
It’s a glamorous world

Ooh I got one...

Everyone around me is a total stranger
Everyone avoids me like a cyclone ranger

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 02/06/2020 21:21

I'm in love with a German film star SingingBabooshkaBadly
Can't remember who sang it.

Morty that's Turning Japanese by the Vapors.

Honeyroar · 02/06/2020 21:38

It rings a bell Iggi, but not loud enough. Can you add a line? (Clues that you left behind)

I’ve got one for the indie fans..

All leathery charms
As he pinwheeled his arms
And directed his gaze at me.

Iggi999 · 02/06/2020 21:41

Binky that's China Crisis

Honey here you go

Save me from these reminders
As if I'd forget tonight
This time La Luna…

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 02/06/2020 21:48

Prosseco, the group was The Passions.

Iggy I feel like I know that but just can’t get it...so frustrating.

When your sitting on your own
And you feel the city life surround you

Ahhhh! Grin

This one is probably way too easy. I know it's not really.my go, but... 😉

But BEA's on strike
There's no planes flying
I can rent a motorbike
At least I'm trying

Je Suis un Rock Star by Bill Wyman Binky

But I was taught that boys need girls and girls need boys
You say that's not true
You'd rather fool around than be alone with me

RiftGibbon · 02/06/2020 22:04

Singing that song is on one of my Spotify playlists.!

JaggedHedge · 02/06/2020 22:05

Yes @SingingBabooshkaBadly Grin

I've realised I'm way worse at this than I am at an 80's Spot the Intro

My goal is to guess one before the end of the thread Grin

MortyFide · 02/06/2020 22:11

Yes wowfudge

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 02/06/2020 22:12

Jagged. Seeing lyrics or hearing them spoken rather than sung can be so frustrating can’t it? - you know you know them but they just won’t identify themselves to your brain! What a shame we can’t play spot the intro - love that...

Rift - you didn’t say what it is!

shinynewapple2020 · 02/06/2020 22:14

I find that I'll know one that was guessed about an hour back but not at the time I'm trying to play - maybe I should sit here all day 😆

Singing. - its the passions one (German film star) that is on my Spotify playlist.

Honeyroar · 02/06/2020 22:24

Here’s my heart
Feel the power
Look at me
I’m a flower

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 02/06/2020 22:32

Rift - ah sorry, thought you were referring to the Thompson Twins. Everyone should have a playlist with German film star. It gives me the shivers just hearing the intro - so evocative of the time.

Yes Iggi the ‘p’ is correct!
