80s ( or thereabouts) sing lyrics thread 29

[midgedude]

Oh hec here we go

I take it you heard this on the radio on Wednesday Flea ?

Yes Carnage 😂 along with the Abba song.. Were you listening too? It was a very local radio station...

Rogue yes correct with OMD. I would also have thought 80s but google said it was 91.

Anyone know the title?

Can’t think which OMD that would be. I thought they’d died a death by the 90s!

I think the OMD one might be called Seven Seas or maybe Sailing

Oh yes. That was a late one. It had a funny beat to it, if I remember correctly,

Can't think!

(Opps, hadn't refreshed properly)

I had 7 seas in my head, but it kept morphing into echo and the bunnymen (which, tbh, I prefer)

Seven seas ... of rye ?

Crystal bits of snowflakes All around my head and in the wind (80s)

Well I know your love is rough And the road ahead is tough But I just can’t get enough of.... (80s)

Don’t come knocking round my door
I don’t wanna see your face no more
Coloured lights can hypnotise
Sparkle someone else’s eyes
(90s)

My dreams were full of strange ideas
My mind was set despite the fears
But other things got in the way
I never asked that boy to stay
(80s)

Shadows blowin as the roses bloom
Looking down on a wonderland
(80s)

Monkey see monkey do
I don’t know why
Rather be dead than cool
I don’t know why
(80s)

Her love was mine
I know my sun will shine
(80s)

4 is new England kirsty mccoll/Billy bragg

So the OMD song is called sailing on the 7 seas , was reminded of it when hearing on the radio , on googling to check lyrics I was also reminded of the Echo & bunnymen, and Queen songs . Vaguely considered a theme ....

1 is Alphavillle Big in Japan

Were you one of those idiots, dexter? I seem to remember when you first joined the thread you saying you were hurt

I'm afraid I was..... Honey I'm fighting fit and riding again 😃 it makes me so happy being in the saddle

For number 2 (as I have no idea what it is, can we make up alternative endings?
Like 'I can't get enough.....blue cheese'?

All guesses are correct so far. Just no 3 left.

I don't know it, but it's reminding me of

When I'm with you baby
I go out of my head

80s

I am hearing wham which I am sure is wrong

Not Wham

Just can’t get enough- Depeche mode

But my outstanding one is nothing like that.

This is by the same person...

The futures in
Our present hands
Let’s reach right in
Let’s understand
(90s)

And this...

There were times I didn’t understand
And There were times I wouldn’t hold your hand
But now baby I’m here for you
Cause baby I’m so in love with you
(90s)

Happy Friday, peeps...
