• Winter's cityside, Crystal bits of snowflakes, All around my head and in the wind;

I had no illusions…*

And:

"They do it down on Camber Sands,
They do it at Waikiki.
Lazing about the beach all day,
At night the crickets creepy."

Sorry new to the threads if these have been done before...

That's Big in Japan by Allphaville

They do it down on Camber Sands,
They do it at Waikiki.
Lazing about the beach all day,
At night the crickets creepy."

@DeRigueurMortis - it's fine to do the same song again and again anyway. It's quite comforting

3, All 80s

And even when you're healthy
And your colour schemes delight
Down below those dandy clothes
You're just a shade too white

....

Celebrate, the great escape
From lunacy divided
Hunnanoo, I'm seeing you
But nobodys decided

....
See a clinic full of cynics
Who want to twist the peoples' wrist
They're watching every move we make
We're all included on the list

The first one is an Adam Ant, but can’t think which. I’m getting goody two shoes/Prince Charming in my head, but don’t think it’s those two.

Is the middle one The lunatics have taken over the asylum by Fun boy 3?

Correct @Honeyroar 🙌🏼

@Honeyroar - it is Adam Ant but different song..

It's Stand and Deliver by Adam Ant

@Bluesheep8

It's Stand and Deliver by Adam Ant

@Bluesheep8 - not that one either!!!

I think it’s Kings of the Wild Frontier...

@FlouncingBabooshka

I think it’s Kings of the Wild Frontier...

@FlouncingBabooshka - it is! Well done! 🙌🏼

Ooh, feels like ages since I got one!

Still a few of mine, Halloween and names, outstanding. I’ll have to trawl back through the thread...

"Honeyroar

Ahem! Oops.. I got my own post wrong... the middle one IS NOT Fun Boy Three @Honeyroar - game on!!

Celebrate, the great escape
From lunacy divided
Hunnanoo, I'm seeing you
But nobodys decided

(NOT Fun Boy Three). Clue for long-timers. I had a poster of the singer on my wall...

All 80s

Can you hear them talking 'bout us?
Telling lies, is that a surprise
Can you see them? See right through them
They have a shield, nothing must be revealed

To do what I should do
To long for you to hear
I open up my heart
And watch her name appear

So much for your promises
They died the day you let me go
Caught up in a web of lies
But it was just too late to know

First in fun boy three our lips are sealed

And thank you whoever it was for working out the Adam ant track...it was doing my head in .

So much for your promises
They died the day you let me go
Caught up in a web of lies
But it was just too late to know

Coffee, Johnny Hates Jazz, Shattered dreams

Hooray- someone guessed the Adam Ant one. It was bugging me too. I’d forgotten that track.

The remaining one is Scritti politti The Word Girl, I think.

(Got goo many wrong today to be overly confident!)

So take me from the wreckage
Save me from the blast
