It's morphing into poison by Alice Cooper in my head, but I don't think that's it.

I've added a verse to the outstanding one

Desolate loving in your eyes
You used an' made my life so sweet
Step out like a God found child
I saw your eyes across the street

Who would be the fool to take you?
Be more than just kind
Step into a life of maybe
Love is hard to find

All Eighties

  1. Oh I see it's clear baby
    that you are all through here
    Oh, oh, oh, oh ....

  2. So I lay down in the darkness
    with the beer and coffee stains
    and I stared out at the thunder
    through the broken window panes

  3. We bite and scratch and scream all night

  4. I still believe in God,
    But God no longer believes in me

  5. If you say that you are mine
    I'll be here 'till the end of time

Rogue1001 · 09/11/2021 18:25

Ha! A clear run...

Rogue1001 · 09/11/2021 18:26

  1. Lovecats, the cure
Rogue1001 · 09/11/2021 18:27
  1. The mission.
Wasteland????
Rogue1001 · 09/11/2021 18:27
  1. The clash, should I stay or should I go
