All she saw was a silhouette of a gun Far away on the other side He was shot six times by a man on the run
Moonlight shadow, Mike Oldfield. I need to think of some...

I was thinking jonny rotten, the dammed were happy talky talk, a blonde punky singer or am I talking nonsense?

No answers question me, no one's been here before
I am the first to see the light at your door

I don't want to derail the thread, but captain sensible who was (and still is) in the damned had a surprise solo hit with happy talk.

I can't remember exactly which lyrics I put up, but see how you do with:

Let me get the story straight
You never gave me a break
It's a case of give and take.

I have seen them live 7 times Blush

When you're gonna fall in love
There's nothing you can do about it
When you're gonna fall in love
Don't you beat around the bush

It’s true. I took our love for granted all along.
And trying to explain where I went wrong.
