The line before my other one should give it away-

We got your message on the radio
Conditions normal and you’re coming home

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 04/07/2020 20:55

Stars across the moon? Cant think what the group is. And I might be wrong anyway

CoffeeBeansGalore · 04/07/2020 20:57

He came to town like a midwinter storm
He rode through the fields, so handsome and strong

So here I am in front of you
Not really knowing what to do
My heart is feeling something new
Nervously I turn away from you

'79

Funny World
Sometimes lies
Become the game when loves the prize

I think very early 90s

It's funny how I could never cry, until the night you passed by, hand in hand with another guy, you're dressed to kill and guess who's dying...

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 04/07/2020 21:20

Here’s loads more lines from the one you haven’t got yet:

It's crazy but I'm frightened by the sound of the telephone, oh yeah
I'm worried that the caller might have awful news, oh my
Who knows these days where on earth the money goes, oh yeah
No doubt we could put it to a better use, oh my
You keep insisting that nobody showed you how to keep relationships, oh yeah
Your daddy made a real good try, oh my
You said you knew all along
We could work it out, oh yeah
Do you have to make a fuss every time we fly
Oh I'm

That’s Dance Away, Roxy Music Bendandbreak
NeedToKnow101 · 04/07/2020 21:25

Of course! I'm so crap at this...

Added to my unguessed one..

The look in your eyes
Is more than enough
To make my poor heart
Burst into flames
Knew from the moment we met
That there was no doubt
That my life would never be the same
I could never hide the feelings
That come over me
When you're near me
I know that's how it's suppose to be
My heart keeps telling me

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 04/07/2020 21:25

There's something in your eyes gives me a wild idea
I never want to be apart from you my dear

Late 70s

NeedToKnow101 · 04/07/2020 21:25

@Honeyroar - yes to Mel and Kim Respectable..

Honeyroar · 04/07/2020 21:27

BendandBreak · 04/07/2020 21:27
