Here's mine, all 80s

You see the signs, but you can't read
You're running at a different speed
Your heart beats in double time
Another kiss and you'll be mine, a one track mind

You keep insisting that nobody showed you how to keep relationships, oh yeah
Your daddy made a real good try, oh my

I ran to the window
As fast as could be
I thought you were somebody else
I thought you were me…

Sorry , like an idiot I was waiting on thread 29 wondering why no-one was posting

Here's my three again, yes Culture club

Words are few
I have spoken
I could waste a thousand years

But you're always there
Like a ghost in my dreams
And I keep on telling you
Please don't do the things you do

There's a loving in your eyes all the way
If I listen to your lies, would you say

Can you guess these lyrics AND the link between them?

And you wanted to dance so I asked you to dance
But fear is in your soul
80s

Love is so confusing, there's no peace of mind
70s

I didn't ask him his name, this lonely boy in the rain
80s

My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
I've been running 'round in circles in my mind
80s

Change is coming 'round real soon
Make us women and men
80s

Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
80s

If the road ahead is not so easy
Our love will lead the way for us
Like a guiding star
I'll be there for you if you should need me
80s

I know the road I must take, with a wink of my eye
I leave old friends behind like old alibi
80s

Red eye shadow! Green mascara!
Yuck! She's too much
70s

For other ugly scenes
You did what you did to me
Now it's history I see
80s

There's nobody here, it's just you and me
80s

Time and again I tell myself
I'll stay clean tonight
80s

See I've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone
80s

Can you see them?
See right through them
80s

Life goes in circles
Around and around circulating
I sometimes wonder
What's moving underground
80s

You're running with me
Don't touch the ground
80s

Here's 3 from me

All 80s

  1. The devil will find work for idle hands to do

  2. When you cycled by
    here began all my dreams

  3. I wear Black on the outside
    'Cause Black is how I feel on the inside
    And if I seem a little strange
    Well, that's because I am

NeedToKnow101 · 28/05/2021 20:36

And you wanted to dance so I asked you to dance
But fear is in your soul
80s
