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

‘And you call when it’s over
You call it should last
Every minute of the future
Is a memory of the past’

Train of thought
I've been losing you
Cry Wolf

Stay on these roads
There are more...

They had 8 top 10 hits in the UK

Amaranthine Underpass (I think he’s actually singing Underpants) is John Foxx, the original singer with Ultravox.

Haha, I think so too! GrinGrin

One of my favourite lyrics...
‘Well he was Thailand based, she was an airforce wife.’

Well done fudge.

So, the only time I google with this thread is before I put a lyric up. To make sure I've remembered it properly (because I made a mistake on the last thread which I'm ashamed of. Although I don't think anyone spotted it).

I LOVE adam and the ants. I've taken my niece and daughter to see him (their first gigs).

Until I looked it up just now, I thought the line was
souped up leather, lower a feather
(No, didn't make any sense to me either, but there's a car in the video??? I thought it was souped up, like flash tyres or something)
A bit like it wasn't until I saw AJumpedUpPantryBoy's username that I realized it wasn't country boy.

I'm learning a lot from these threads!

I stand corrected, fudge. Still not really my thing.

That's SausageTea's

Honeyroar · 31/05/2020 19:33

I agree, Cambodia. Was about to post when someone knocked at the door!

Honeyroar · 31/05/2020 19:39

In you I’ve found a story I want to keep hearing.
With you I see all colours not just black and white.

WarmSausageTea · 31/05/2020 19:44

Yep, Cambodia.

Thinking about misheard lyrics, I thought Queen sang ‘spare him his life for his warm sausage tea’, even though it made no sense whatsoever. Blush

Is that why it's your username, Sausage? That's funny!

We need more lyrics. I hadn't got to Cambodia. I'd only got as far as female voice. Well done Honey and fudge

It is, prosecco... I also thought the lyric went ‘ So you think you can stone me and spin my eye?’ Hmm

Girl, you got an ass like I never seen
And the ride,
I say the ride is so smooth
You must be a limousine
