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

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies yes to Mary’s Prayer by Danny Wilson.
No to your other guess.

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 05/06/2020 07:42

Bloody hell. I was going to put up a line from john Wayne is big leggy. I thought that would be pleasingly troublesome.

But I've just read the lyrics, and I can't bring myself to do it!

Ewwwww!

@kemosabeimalone

Ok this is quite a tricky one I think:

Searching in my mind there's only two things I can find
I have one desire and that's to dance until you drop

Is that no peace for the wicked????

Thompson twins?

Twisting my bones until they snap

lilgreen · 05/06/2020 07:57

Sly &Robbie?

lilgreen · 05/06/2020 08:00

Can’t think of the song.

lilgreen · 05/06/2020 08:00

I need to get to work.( That’s not a song lyric!)

kemosabeimalone · 05/06/2020 08:04

lilgreen - yep you got it! Boops by Sly and Robbie. Loving revisiting the clunky late 80’s video! Bit of a formative track for its time!

Do the Hucklebuck?

@kemosabeimalone

This one is Sly & Robbie - I think it's called Boops
RiftGibbon · 05/06/2020 11:48

Oh, just seen that's been solved. I'll go back to my cup of tea! :)

I offer you all this one...

She lives in this house over there
Has her world outside it
Scrabbles in the earth with her fingers and her mouth
She's five years old

Honeyroar · 05/06/2020 12:04

Oh There’s a lot that I could say
But just hold me now
Cause our love will light the way

kemosabeimalone · 05/06/2020 12:38

Honey ... frustrating!! I think I know the tune is it rock/ guitar based?

kemosabeimalone · 05/06/2020 12:41

How about this? Clue it’s a Ken Bruce favourite!

Eye to eye stand winners and losers
Hurt by envy, cut by greed
Face to face with their own disillusions
The scars of old romances still on their cheeks

kemosabeimalone · 05/06/2020 12:42

Rift - can we have a clue? What genre is it?
