'Shadows blowin' as the roses bloom Lookin' down on a wonderland Smack just one kiss and I was outta whack All at once there was no turnin' back All so far above the brighter star, oh oh'

Zoom

No idea who though

@MarthasGinYard

'It's five and I'm driving home again It's hard to believe that it's my last time The man on the wireless cries again It's over, it's over'

Ultraviolet, Vienna ?

Vox ...not violet autocorrect

Midge

Yes to both

And it was Fat Larry's

Zoom was Fat Larrys Band

'They think he's lost on some horizon
And suddenly I find myself listening
To a man I've never known before
Telling me about the sea
Oh his love is to eternity'

'Out on the tar plains, the glides are moving
All looking for a new place to drive
You sit beside me so newly charming
Sweating dewdrops glisten freshing your side'

Zoom is Fat Larry's Band

@MarthasGinYard

'If ever our love was concealed No one can say that we didn't feel A million things and a perfect dream of life (gone) fragile but free We remain tender together If not so in love And it's not so wrong, we're only human after all'

I think this is level 42
Something about you

Shiny

It is

Love those boys

Missing their tour

'If ever our love was concealed
No one can say that we didn't feel
A million things and a perfect dream of life (gone) fragile but free
We remain tender together
If not so in love
And it's not so wrong, we're only human after all'

Level 42 - Something about you?

Yes need

Aaargh!! Popped to the post by shiny !

Come along baby
We better make a start
You better make it soon
Before you break my heart
1980s

Pipped..

Same old story back again
'She's not a lover, she's just a friend'
I'm sick and tired for you to blame on me
Now you think it's funny

early 2000s

Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees (got down on my knees)
And I pretend to pray (I pretend to pray)

1960s

'Sleek big cat, bible black Honeysuckle I would never deny The light of deep regret Let me see what I don't get The light of deep regret Let me see what I don't get'

This is the Honey Thief (very apt name for a certain poster on here)

Where did all the blue skies go?
Poison is the wind that blows from the north and south and east

1970s but been covered quite a lot

@MarthasGinYard

'Oh I know I should come clean But I prefer to deceive Everyday I walk alone And pray that god won't see me'

This might be wrong. But is it the blow monkeys? And if it is, it'll be Diggin' Your Scene (but that might be totally wrong)
