80s song lyric thread 2

[ProseccoBubbleFantasies]

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

Searching for a destiny that's mine
There's another place another time
Touching many hearts along the way
Hoping that I'll never have to say...

It's just an illusion????

Btw, I did know the soul II soul one. I was singing it (i get that wasn't obvious)

Sorry NeedToKnow. I don't think I know it

Yes @ProseccoBubbleFantasies

None of you have got my cheesy ones. Do you want more lyrics?

You wrapped me round your itty-bitty finger
With your magic smile you had me hanging on the lover's cross a while

I think. Can't be arsed to look it up.

Cheesy, you say??

An experienced man of the world
There ain't no way that I'll make do
With anything less than I'm used to

Imagination, Just an Illusion, and I knew the Soul to Soul one too... I'm always late though!

OK how about this:

A small boy once asked, When will I grow up
When will I see what grownups do see

Mamma used to say. Is the singer junior?

Not sure about yours Binky

Bless my cotton socks I'm in the news

yes Prosecco, Junior Giscombe!

Reward by the Teardrop Explodes

Julian Cope, my third crush, after the truck driver in the Yorkie ad, and Leroy from Fame.

Oops I forgot Bodie and Starsky... my other two 80s crushes..

Bless my cotton socks I'm in the news
Live in solitude like Howard Hughes
All wrapped up the same
All wrapped up the same
I can't have it
You can't have it
We can't have it too...
Until I learn to accept my reward...(lots of trumpets!!!!)

Who used to buy Smash Hits religiously?

Received a letter just the other day
don't seem they wanna know you no more
they've laid it down given you their score

And a bit more of the outstanding one.

Boney's high on china white,
Shorty found a punk
Don't you know there ain't no devil
...*

See that little Jersey girl in the see-through top
With the pedal pushers, sucking on a soda pop
Well I bet she's still a virgin but it's only twenty-five 'til nine

*The next line varies depending on the original or the cover, so I haven't posted it in case it confuses people.

I feel like I should know that Binky, but it’s not coming to me!

Think you’re just going to have to tell us that one Rift.

Binky - So macho, Sinitta?

@CoffeeBeansGalore

Binky - So macho, Sinitta?

I'm afraid so! 😀. Was going to do Sabrina Boys Boys Boys, but apart from "I'm looking for a good time", I'm not sure there were any other lyrics! (There probably are, I just didn't want to be judged by Google)

Yes I think you’re right @coffeeBeans

If you ask that’s what I’ll say
It’s not your business anyway

My name is Luca
Female singer..?

Suzanne Vega

I'll concede that it probably wasn't well known!
It was Heart Attack and Vine by Tim Waits. Covered years later by Screamin Jay Hawkins.
Both versions are out there on the 'net. Both are... unusual.
