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

So much for your promises
They died the day you let me go

@Honeyroar

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

@SingingBabooshkaBadly 

I see you recognised Musclebound too - are you a fan too?

@RiftGibbon what @SingingBabooshkaBadly said 😜

Babooshka Shattered Dreams by Jonny Hates Jazz.

wowfudge · 16/06/2020 16:17

Would I have followed down my chosen road
Or only wished what I could be?

Honeyroar · 16/06/2020 16:49

@KatherineJaneway correct.🙂

@wowfudge 👍🏼

@SeasideArms I might have been a bit of a New Romantic back in the day. 😉 I remember going to Miss Selfridge to buy Spandau style tartan trousers!

Wowfudge, is it keeree?

ssd · 16/06/2020 17:53

And the eyes of the world are watching now, watching now.

Fleamaker123 · 16/06/2020 18:38

Watching them come and go
The Templars and the Saracens
They're travelling the holy land
Opening telegrams

@ssd - yes Kyrie by Mr Mister

RiftGibbon · 16/06/2020 19:37

Sorry, I have been out, making a bubble! Yes, it was muscle-bound! Spandau Ballet (well, Tony Hadley) came from the area I grew up in, as did Madness, so it feels like a tribute to North London posting their lyrics.Grin

KatherineJaneway · 16/06/2020 20:34

Kyrie by Mr Mister

I love that song!

Honeyroar · 16/06/2020 21:08

And so I face the wall
Turn my back against it all
How I wish I’d been unborn
Wish I was unliving here

Intrigued by what kind of bubble you made Rift!

RiftGibbon · 16/06/2020 22:03

Honey I think yours is Eurythmics - I can just hear Annie Lennox (one of my friends was a big fan).

The bubble - a friend who has been shielding for 3 weeks pre-lockdown and lives alone - we finally caught up in person today. It was lovely.

RiftGibbon · 16/06/2020 22:08

I have seen you as the oppressed ,
and i have seen you as the oppressor ,
now youve come of age this century ,
I know now you want to be free

Honeyroar · 16/06/2020 22:23

Oh I see Rift. Aw I bet that was wonderful.

Yes it’s Eurythmics. Did you work out which one?

OP posts:
wowfudge · 16/06/2020 22:25

If that's the Eurythmics then it must be Sex Crime due to the lyrics.

Honeyroar · 16/06/2020 22:26

It was.👍

Life is a game of chances
So I'll take my chance with you
And you, I won't try to change

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 17/06/2020 07:30

That's the first one I know I know in ages.

Can't think what it is
Grin

Will have to wait for someone else

lilgreen · 17/06/2020 07:30

Dub be good to me.

lilgreen · 17/06/2020 07:31

Can’t think of artist but it was on Radio 2 the other day.
