80s Lyrics Thread 3

[Honeyroar]

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

@Honeyroar - War Baby by Tom Robinson

Wow @Wowfudge that was quick

Strange places we’ve never seen
But you’re always there
Like a ghost in my dream.

That's Victims by Culture Club. Some lyrics just stick in your mind.

What seed must I sow to replenish this barren land

@wowfudge China in your hand, Tpau?

Bloody hell. I've literally just googled to lyric to China in your hand to put them up on here.

I'll give you

Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies - mine is not China in Your Hand!

Under Pressure

Oh! I could have put my lyrics up , then.

Yes, lilgeen. I was going to do china girl, but turns out that's 70s

@wowfudge

Alison Moyet, Love Resurrection

Yes!

China Girl was definitely 80s.

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies @Honeyroar you are both right. First version was recorded 1977. 2nd version was released in 1983

Apologies ladies. These were the lines from T'pau that confused my answer:

Come from greed never born of the seed
Took a life from a barren hand

Next!

It was a night like this forty million years ago
I lit a cigarette, picked up a monkey skull to go
The sun was spitting fire, the sky was blue as ice
I felt a little tired, so I watched Miami Vice

The theme tune to the flintstones????

Walk the dinosaur?

“Give me time to realise my crime”

Do you really want to hurt me, culture club

Yes!

And the world goes hot
And the cities take
And the beat goes crashing
All along the way

Bloody simple minds. Who I am supposed to be seeing in concert next bloody saturday. Gutted. 😢

Oh it's awful, I had an 80s festival this weekend - I believe it's been rearranged to next year 😭

I used to work in a shop and served Jim kerr and his girlfriend.
He was very nice.
Anyways, I loved that song I put up.

(I mean, it's hardly the worst thing about the virus but it still hurts!)

Listen to the voice of Buddha
Saying stop your sericulture
