You better run, you better do what you can
Don't want to see no blood, don't be a macho man
You want to be tough, better do what you can

Either Wham or Neneh Cherry!?

I write a new song every day,

I might not feel pain, even if '

Still quite a few outstanding. Big hits, all

And I got the Prince one second time round. Got to eat my dinner now.
Some of mine are outstanding too! Quite a lot of scrolling back needed though...

Can people repost remaining ones please.

I'll repost my outstanding posts

'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''

Outstanding from Thursday:

We can't tell our left from right
But we know we love extremes
Getting to grips with the ups and downs
Because there's nothing in between

80s
