Hmmm. The gun line is making me think of pet shop boys (West end girls), but I know it isn't. The lyrics are wrong.
I need to get that out of my head first.

Is it bon (or bob) jovi? If it is, it's likely to be shot down in a blaze of glory/first blood

Ok here's one from memory - ( I am old )

Peeling the skin back from my eyes, I felt surprised
That the time on the clock was the time I usually retired

( more lyrics ensue )

v early 80s & not mainstream I think - but they were good in their day

That's the second LTB I have had ... it's always this thread . Hum may be I should LTT instead ?!?! I mean why would I leave a man who can give me this much pain ?

(I definitely cycled too far today )

I know what you mean @Rogue1001. Think the lyrics to West End Girls is-

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

Or something like that, loved that song, used to play the 7 inch single all the time on my record player.

Surely the gun one is ‘Head Over Heels’ by Tears For Fears.

Here’s a new one…

‘The five years we have had have been such good times,
I still love you.’

‘80’s

Human league don't you want me baby

Can't think what that is?

@bordermidgebite Yep

@AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes - clue begins with T - twice - it isn't mainstream but such an 80s thing for me

I'm thinking The The or Talk Talk?

@AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes - yes yes The the - hardly anyone I know has heard of them - but loved them when I was 18
Tragically gave all of my vinyl away many many years ago

All best to you

Basilisk

Thank you @BasiliskStare!
I can only thing of one song they did with lines in it about Britain being the 51st state of the USA? I liked at the time, will need to look them up on YouTube to remind Me of their songs, was it mainly one man?

That's a shame about your vinyl, I don't know where a lot of mine is either although could be up up in my mum's loft. Will need to have a look! All the best to you too!

First initial of artist may be a T

@AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes - unfortunately I know for a fact I gave all my records away to someone when I was decluttering 20 years ago - somewhat sad but I know I can probably down load them and as I have a v small house and no record player - where would they go? But yes you have inspired me - I think they did do one about the 51st state - I am going to whizz around on You Tube

But you are a steely eyed missile woman - not many people I ask remember them .

Bela Lugosi's dead anyone -

@HelloKittyGirl Correct to Head over Heels. Well done 🎉

How about…

‘Tried to ask for help but can’t seem to speak a word. Words are whispered frantically but don’t seem to be heard.’

‘80s

@BasiliskStare I haven't played any vinyl in ages either, think it's just too easy to use YouTube, Spotify and Alexa! Got my DH a turntable, he hardly uses it either.

Was I right with TFF @HelloKittyGirl?

Like someone new romantic looking for the TV sound
You'll see I'm right some other time

@AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes Ah sorry yes, did I not say? Meant to. You are absolutely correct!

Thank you @HelloKittyGirl!

Small mistake with mine, it's some new romantic not someone.
Stupid autocorrect!

Duran Duran- Planet Earth.

I remember The The. Had a friend very into them. I can’t remember their songs.
