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

The shades from a pencil peer
Pass around
A fold in an eyelid brushed with fear
The lines on a compact guide
Pass around
A hat with alignment worn inside

Bluesheep, that’s Sound of the Crowd by Human League

Boy I can feel a love is on the rise
A message revealed in your eyes
You know I can't wait
To know your passion
It's not to late
So take some action

Bluesheep8 · 09/06/2020 10:34

babooshka correct! And very quick

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 09/06/2020 10:49

Blacksheep I had the single way back when - still do somewhere!

Bluesheep8 · 09/06/2020 11:08

babooshka it's one of my favourite Human League songs

Time has gone since I've been with you, and we've been starting to die.
Now it seems you don't care for me, and I don't understand why.

Yes indeed, Amazulu and too good to be forgotten
Bluesheep that is slowly going round in my head...

Iggi999 · 09/06/2020 12:34

Too late for goodbyes!
But who by?

Honeyroar · 09/06/2020 12:35

Will you walk like a lion in the danger zone?
Will you pass unnoticed in the great unknown?
When you see the press out on a witch hunt.
When you see a political publicity stunt.
Will you fight for the right? Will you be a man?
Will you step aside? Will you give a damn?

And I know and you know that if we get together
Emotions will go to work
And I may do something I might regret the next day
And end up hurt

Those last two have got me completely stumped.

One of mine is still outstanding. I posted two lines. They aren’t consecutive lines in the song because if I’d posted what comes after the ‘you burn’ line it would have given the title away.

You burn in the breadline and ribbons and all

and

Chill will wake you, high and dry, you'll wonder why

I really thought someone would spot it straight away after I posted the second line. Should I add more?

In the meantime here’s a different song:

I hear a song blow again and again
Through my mind and I don't know why

Honeyroar · 09/06/2020 20:10

@NeedToKnow101 that’s I Wonder if I Take you Home, but I can’t remember the singer (my predictive text types that automatically now!)

@Honeyroar - correct!! By Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam. 80's dance classic.

Invisible airwaves crackle with life
Bright antennae bristle with the energy

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 09/06/2020 20:58

Yes @Honeyroar!

Ok - I’m posting more of the other one and just putting xxxx in where the title should be...

You burn in the breadline and ribbons and all
So Xxxxx, you won't be late, you always wait
This generation, the walk to the wall
But I'm not angry, get your gear, get out of here and
Xxxx…

MrJolly that's Rush - The Spirit of Radio
