Midge, midge! Quick!

Now the King told the boogie men
You have to let that raga drop

You walked into the room I just had to laugh

X-Offender, Blondie (called by its proper title of Sex Offender in America, but Britain was just too damn sensitive)

No! It's change, tears for fears

@FlouncingBabooshka

Lots of easy 80s lyrics and just to make it even easier they are all first lines:

Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
Moved a million hearts in mono

Sometimes you're better off dead
There's a gun in your hand and it's pointing at your head

I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door

You walked into the room
I just had to laugh

I've gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over

I know when to go out
Know when to stay in
Get things done

It doesn't hurt me.
Do you want to feel how it feels?

Clock strikes upon the hour
And the sun begins to fade

Darlin' you got to let me know
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Dig if you will the picture
Of you and I engaged in a kiss

They told him, "Don't you ever come around here"
"Don't wanna see your face, you better disappear"

I could feel at the time
There was no way of knowing
Fallen leaves in the night
Who can say where they're blowing?

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side

That's great, it starts with an earthquake
Birds and snakes, and aeroplanes

Lying in my bed, I hear the clock tick and think of you

Traveling in a fried-out Kombi
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie

The ungot ones... 2nd West end girls, pet shop boys
FlouncingBabooshka · 28/05/2021 21:09

Pantry did awfully well there

⭐️ For you, Pantry

⭐️ For you, Pantry

Thank you - annoyed that there were a couple (Beat it and Down Under) that I should have got
FlouncingBabooshka · 28/05/2021 21:10

I think these are still up for grabs

Traveling in a fried-out Kombi
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie

It doesn't hurt me.

Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
Moved a million hearts in mono

Come on Eileen Dexys

Sometimes you're better off dead
There's a gun in your hand and it's pointing at your head

West end girls pet shop boys

I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door

Frankie goes to Hollywood power of love

I've gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over

I wanna know what love is,
Foreigner

I know when to go out
Know when to stay in
Get things done

Modern love davis Bowie

Clock strikes upon the hour
And the sun begins to fade

Whitney Houston wanna dance with somebody

Dig if you will the picture
Of you and I engaged in a kiss

Prince when doves cry

They told him, "Don't you ever come around here"
"Don't wanna see your face, you better disappear"

Madness your an embarrassment

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side

U2 with or without you

Traveling in a fried-out Kombi
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
