80s Lyrics Thread 3

[Honeyroar]

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

katherine correct!

That's Sweet Love by Anita Baker

Well I'm so tall, I'm so tall,
You raise me and then you let me fall.
And I'm so small, I'm so small,
Wrap me round your finger, seen before.

Living on the Ceiling, Blancmange

Blancmange.
Can't think of the title. Aargh.

Correct! Trying to think up another now...

Somebody I never met, but in a way I know
Didn't think that you could get so much from a picture show
Man dies first reel, people ask, "What's the deal?
This ain't how it's supposed to be; Don't like no Aborigine"

You lot never sleep! (not a lyric!)

"You say I'm a dreamer, we're two of a kind

Both of us searching for some perfect world we know we'll never find"

@Prosecco, yes, it was Stepping Out. By Joe Jackson I believe.

Blue I think that's E=MC2. Was it Big Audio Dynamite?

"Cheap, never cheap. I'll sing you songs till you're asleep"

riftgibbon correct

grassy that's Hold me Now by the Thompson Twins

madame that's Song for Whoever by The Beautiful South

Correct!

Love the TT

Blue marble seas
I will make you feel so good
Roll over me
Blue marble dreams
Like you always knew you would
Roll over me

Ok I'll give you a clue...it's another Thompson Twins song.

@Bluesheep8 that’s Doctor Dream. Very weird song!

Come on indie fans, nobody has got this outstanding one from last thread -

And when the sun shines in your eyes
You just turn your head. Away
To meeee

Thanks for the thread @Honeyroar
Yes to part time lover!
I reckon one of you lot must be Janice Long.. you're too good

😂. If I was Janice Long I’d be posting...

It’s a habit of mine.
To watch the sun go down.

(actually it might make me Annie Nightingale, or whoever it was that did the Sunday eve show after the top 40)

It's Tower of Strength by the mighty Mission!!

Echo beach Martha and the muffins

And yes to Dr Dream - well done!

Doh! Just managed to jump in the thread and missed Martha and the Muffins - saw them supporting Roxy Music about a million years ago...

Love these threads even though I seem to miss all the ones I know 🙄
