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

I can get some straight away too, but others not a chance! I suppose it depends on what type of music you were into, you just need someone to post that's on your musical wavelength!!

I don't know half of them even after they've been successfully identified! Blush. The ones I know, so does everyone else. Smile

Binky that is from one of my most hates songs ever - Albuquerque. Was it prefab sprout? I used to run to turn the radio off whenever I heard it.Grin

BinkySodPlop · 03/06/2020 12:37

It's called The King of Rock 'n' Roll, officially, but everyone knew it as Alberquerque. I remember the pool party video. And yes to Prefab Sprout.

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 03/06/2020 12:50

@Fleamaker123 - glad it’s not just me!

Oh darn, here we go again - I knew the Prefab Sprout one but got pipped to the post again.

How about:

So without love and a promised land
We're fools to the rules of a government plan.

Tears for fears, Sowing the seeds of love

RiftGibbon · 03/06/2020 13:07

So I lay down in the darkness
With the beer and coffee stains
And I stared out at the thunder
Through the broken window panes

When some cold tomorrow finds you
When some sad old dream reminds you
How the endless road unwinds you

Tumbling from the sky
Then I'll be there, I'll be there"

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 03/06/2020 13:38

Bluesheep - yes. Don’t know yours though.

Nobody got mine yet?
Right becoming wrong
Left becoming right

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 03/06/2020 15:21

I just can’t get yours Myname, I don’t even have that frustrating feeling of knowing I know it but not being able to find it. I think it must be a song I just don’t know.

I’ve got another:

Met Mo and she's okay, said no one really changed
Got different badges but they wear them just the same

Willow2017 · 03/06/2020 15:29

Taste me you will see
More that's all you need
Dedicated to
How I'm fucking you

Honeyroar · 03/06/2020 15:47

I’m the same, it doesn’t ring any bells whatsoever for me, nor does Willow’s. Yet when I go away for an hour I’ve missed loads that I could’ve got!!
