Yes it was mid 80s. Nick Rhodes and Simon LeBon did Arcadia and all the Taylors joined Robert Palmer to do Powerstation stuff.

Honey I'm surprised at you Grin Roger was an Arcadia boy too.

I think this is tough unless you are a die hard fan, but it seems relevant given recent events:

I wake up every night to the sound of breaking glass
Got troops in the bed and tanks in the hall.

Interested in this thread?

Sorry Iggi! To be honest, despite fancying Nick Rhodes in those days (which is hysterical now!) I never liked Arcadia!

Iggi999 · 06/08/2020 19:06

He's still not bad looking at all! And must be filthy rich Smile

I saw DD recently-ish (within the last 10 yrs or so).

Sad to report, john has aged the least well.

My friend was gutted.

So we have been through hell and high tide
I think I can rely on you
And yet you start to recoil
Heavy words are so lightly thrown
But I'd still leap in front of a flying bullet for you

C'mon.... it's got to ne easier than the cult!

I know this isn't it, but all I can hear in my head is a song called breaking glass. Do you know the one I mean?

It goes
I love the sound of breaking glass
Deep into the ni-i-ight

VictoriousSockPuppet · 06/08/2020 19:44

I look around but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace

Thought it was 70s, but google says 80s

VictoriousSockPuppet · 06/08/2020 19:46

And young billy watched it all under the yellow street light
And said "tonight of all nights, there's gonna be a fight"

70s

VictoriousSockPuppet · 06/08/2020 19:48

Make me strong, yeah you make me bold
Oh your love thawed out
Yeah, your love thawed out
What was scared and cold

80s

Fleamaker123 · 06/08/2020 19:49

So let that feeling grab you deep inside
And send you reeling where your love can't hide
And then go stealing through the moonlit nights
With your lover

70's

VictoriousSockPuppet · 06/08/2020 19:55

Don't worry, Critter, it happens to us all on here.

And yes, all of you. All correct.

Too easy, obviously

Fleamaker123 · 06/08/2020 19:57

Correct @ThatLibraryMiss and @VictoriousSockPuppet 👏

VictoriousSockPuppet · 06/08/2020 20:00

Yes, critter!
(Unfortunately, not the lyrics put up here though, so neither of us wins the grand prize)

There should BE a grand prize, shouldn't there! Especially if we get to a thread 10.
I wonder who will win it???? (Clue: perhaps a poster with acwinning name!!!!)
Should we ask MNHQ, or will coffee, as OP-Extrordinaire be providing it?
I think coffee should do it.
I'll have to pm her my address

CrepuscularCritter · 06/08/2020 20:00

Sock I love the sound of breaking glass is Nick Lowe. "Safe at last, sound of breaking glass." Don't know the other one though.
