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

@Honeyroar Bryan Adams - heaven

RiftGibbon · 05/06/2020 13:06

kemosabe it would fall into Indie. I believe it came out in 1988.
The singer has since been very successful as a solo artist.

Rift- ooo tricky! Depeche Mode? Echo and the Bunnymen?

Kemosabe yours is Duel by Propaganda

This was the first single I bought.

Bible says we must pay
I am the judge for the judgement day
There'll be no warning no alarm
I'll be the one who's saved

Another missing person
One of many we assume
The young wear their freedom
Like cheap perfume

RiftGibbon · 05/06/2020 13:55

Binky that's Einstein-a-go go by landscape. I think that was where Steve Strange started out, but I could be wrong.

kemosabe - another clue - female vocalist

Honeyroar · 05/06/2020 14:17

You shouldn’t mess with me
I’ll ruin everything that you are

Yep. 👍. No idea about Steve Strange. I just liked the repetitive tune. Blush. I also bought Buck's Fizz stuff around the same time, so can't pretend to be into Euro electronica..... Grin

wowfudge Cliff Richard, Carrie doesn’t live here anymore - no one else wanted to own up to knowing that one Grin

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 05/06/2020 15:06

My one from earlier is still hanging around I think? I’ve added a bit more that might make it a bit more obvious:

All we need to live today
A gift for man to throw away
The chance to change has nearly gone
The alternative is only one
The final source of energy
Solar electricity

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 05/06/2020 15:11

And here’s a different one:

The war machine springs to life, opens up one eager eye.

Nena- 99 Red Balloons

shinynewapple2020 · 05/06/2020 15:59

@YouLando - oh yes that was it, Hucklebuck not Shuttlebug! Do u know who sang it? This was @ProsseccoBubbleFantasies from earlier this morning

YouLando · 05/06/2020 16:12

@shinynewapple2020 - it was Coast 2 Coast, I had to Google it though. I remember dancing to it at school discos 😂

Iggi999 · 05/06/2020 16:17

I feel I’m a leaf in the November snow
I fell to the ground, there was no one below
So now I am helpless, alone with my song
Just wishing the storm was gone

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 05/06/2020 16:46

Dammit, people. The only one I know from the ones above is 99 red balloons.

Let me get the story straight
You never gave me a break
You didn't make me good you just painted me green

Undying loyalty to anyone who gets this

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 05/06/2020 16:47

And here's an easy one, cos the one above probably wasn't

Self-doubt and selfism

One of my absolute faves:
Somewhere there is some place, that one million eyes can’t see.
