Love a dream of a love affair
That's, over, past & dying
Celebrate, the great escape
From lunacy divided
Hunnanoo, I'm seeing you
But nobodys decided

And now a year has passed
And not a single word
And all the love she knew
Has disappeared out in the haze
(80s)

This is Kim Wilde. Is the song called Cambodia?

Blimey, this thread is filling up fast.

Haven't been on here for a while!
Try this (80s)

Do I touch the way you want to be touched?
Have you heard the words you wanted to hear?
Is my body heat the right intensity?

Surprised no one got this.... steve loves the 90s; someone (I think Babooshka) had lyrics up by the same band and someone (possibly honey) got them.

you're running with me
Don't touch the ground
We're the restless hearted
Not the chained and bound

I think it's true that we've all been through
Some nasty weather
Let's understand that we're here
To handle things together

From your clue I am guessing the band is Suede? But I don't know any of their songs
