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

And wonder if you'll ever see the sun

You've been around all night and that's a little long
You think you've got the right but I think you've got it wrong

Honeyroar · 02/06/2020 23:03

Don’t upset the teacher
Though we know he lied to you.
Don’t upset the preacher
Gonna close his eyes to you.

Willow2017 · 02/06/2020 23:03

Gold watch, diamond ring,

Thats erasure. Definitely. Can't think of the song title though Something about holding back the pieces of the something(broken????) years???? I know that's wrong!

A different one:

My baby he don't talk sweet
He ain't got much to say
But he loves me, loves me, loves me
I know that he loves me anyway

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies nearly, and correct band

And it’s a shame that you’re so afraid
Just a worker waiting in the pouring rain.
Putting back the pieces of a broken dream

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 03/06/2020 07:25

I did know it was erasure, but I still don'tknow the song title Honey

I've got a monster day, but I give you all....

Because there's murder by the roadside
In a sore afraid new world
They tried to break us
Looks like they'll try again

@WarmSausageTea

I can’t get the right becomes wrong one. It rings a bell, but very vaguely!

Honeyroar · 03/06/2020 09:27

Here is a plea
From my heart to you
Nobody knows me
As well as you do

(Here's one of mine again from earlier)

You never give your heart to a stranger
Or tell your secrets to a friend
You'll put your heart in mortal danger
They all desert you in the end^^

I keep seeing the ones I recognise instantly only after someone else has answered and the others I just can’t get at all.

Shocked to discover I’m not the 80s music expert I thought I was Grin
