80s Lyrics Thread 3

[Honeyroar]

Anyone still want to play?
Try and guess the 80s song from the lyrics

Sorry, by Paul Simon!

Well it ain't written in the papers, but it's written on the walls
The way this country is divided to fall
So the cranes are moving on the skyline
Trying to knock down this town

Wonder what’s cooking at the house tonight
Stew and beans
Tune that station, turn that dial
Have another dream

Waiting for a train, can't remember who by

Haven't heard that for ages

Blossom fails to bloom
This season
Promise not to stare
Too long

Feel the rain like an English summer
Hear the notes from a distant song
Stepping out from a back shop poster
Wishing life wouldn't be so long

Ssd

Fade to Grey by visage.

Don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do

Waiting for a train by Flash in the Pan. I'm sure someone once told me that the singer was Angus Youngs brother, but memory may not serve!

Man is far behind in the search of something new
Like a philistine, we're burning witches too

katherine war is stupid by culture club

samandpoppysmummy pretty sure those lyrics are from The The.... ummm I’m trying to remember the title now 🤔

@ssd - I was so distracted by getting that Visage one last night I didn’t notice your other one - David Bowie, This is Not America.

@CoffeeBeansGalore
Give me back my heart - Dollar.

Correct Ssd it was by Flash and the pan.

@shinynewapple2020 was that the Style Council?

This is one I put on ages ago but no one got..

You never give your heart to a stranger
Or tell your secrets to a friend
You'll put your heart in mortal danger
They all desert you in the end

I had no idea about that one Fleamaker.

I’ve one outstanding too -

It’s raining again
A crack in the clouds reveals blue skies
I’ve been feeling so low
But now everything is on my side

Here we are stranded
Somehow it seems the same, beware.

I had excuses, those little boy lies
That she computed by watching my eyes

A clue for mine... early 80's Liverpool band, singer had a very distinctive hairstyle (most of them did back then )

@SingingBabooshkaBadly

Squeeze, Another Nail in my heart

Wow! Ypu guys had a busy night.

Honey yours is madness. The sun and the rain.
Babooshka your second one is squeeze. Another nail in my heart

Fleamaker a flock of seagulls? Can't get to the title though

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies... Yes, Flock of Seagulls

style Council - Long Hot Summer

Who's that lady coming down the road
Who's that lady
