Once there was this kid who
Got into an accident and couldn't come to school
But when he finally came back
His hair had turned from black into bright white

to beat the high tide

Yes, Are Friends Electric, @SingingBabooshkaBadly, well done.
Still left:
The weirdness flows between us
Anyone can tell to see us
80s

Also 80s
A howling wind that blows the litter as the rain flows
As street lamps pour orange colored shapes, through your windows

Actually google tells me that the version of this song I am thinking of is 1981 but there seem to be other versions from earlier and later

Cool and kind, so soft and pure, a touching moment
Heated feelings once exploded, but have melted

How odd,@Honeyroar, there's a guy who looks just like him in my French class too.....

Tartyflette · 01/08/2020 23:34

@Honeyroar. 😟 Sorry for the balls-up.

One more bump for mine -
90s. Flying related..

Let’s go and see the stars
The Milky Way or evening Mars
Where it could just be ours
Let’s fade into the sun
Let your spirit fly
Where we are one
Just for a little fun
Oh Oh Oh yeah!
