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

Iggi yours is A Little Peace by Nicole.

@Honeyroar - sorry, I was replying to Fleamaker giving the next lines to hers but included where she’d @-ed you - apologies for the confusion!

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 06/06/2020 15:52

Yes to Warmsausagetea

The other one of mine that’s outstanding is

There's emptiness behind their eyes
There's dust in all their hearts
They just want to steal us all
And take us all apart
But not in

The next lines give the title away but a couple of lines from elsewhere in the song:

There's an army on the dance floor
It's a fashion with a gun my love

Interested in this thread?

....It’s raining outside yeah, he must be soaking wet.

Singing that The Psychedelic Furs.
Love my way?

lilgreen · 06/06/2020 17:30

I quoted one of theirs way up thread but nobody got it.

lilgreen · 06/06/2020 17:32

Here it is @SingingBabooshkaBadly
“Pass your time away it’s just another day and everything you say was said, yesterday.”
Which track?

Iggi999 · 06/06/2020 17:41

Yes to Nicole and A Little Peace (it featured on the lockdown Eurovision a couple of weeks ago so fresh in my mind!)

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 06/06/2020 17:58

@lilgreen - yes, Love My Way is right.

Sorry, I don’t think I know yours. 🤔🤔🤔

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies

For you indie people

And the world comes tumbling down

I was surprised none got this one.

Next lines are

And it's hard
For me to say
And it's hard
For me to stay

April Skies Jesus and Mary Chain

AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 06/06/2020 20:15

Telling the lie
With a glint in your eye

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 06/06/2020 20:36

Yes, Pantry. Nice to have you back.

Not sure what your song is, though. Trying to think if it's a smiths track

OP posts:
AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 06/06/2020 20:51

Nive to be back, have had a few very intense work days so this is a lovely distraction.

Not Smiths at all, in face couldn't be further away - think chirpy duo

RiftGibbon · 06/06/2020 20:56

Prosecco April Skies - Jesus and Mary Chain? It's on an 80s compilation album I have

wowfudge · 06/06/2020 21:01

Bros perhaps?

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 06/06/2020 21:03

Wham!, Pantry???

Yes, Rift. I used to like them a lot. An ex adored them

Chirpy cockney duo
AJUmpedUpPantryBoy · 06/06/2020 21:17

Hot metal and methedrine

This one is more my usual style unlike the previous one which was a bit of a red herring

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 06/06/2020 21:25

Sisters of mercy.

That one I do know!

Let me bump one of mine you missed. I’ll give you another line that should give it away..

Can you feel it hear it see it today
If you can’t then it doesn’t matter anyway you will never understand it cos it happens too fast
And it feels so good it’s like walking on glasses so cool it’s so hip it’s alright
It’s so groovy it’s outa sight
You can touch it, smell it, tastes so sweet
But it makes no difference cos it knocks you off your feet.
You want it all but you can’t have it
