Well done Fabveg I’d never have got that. Can’t get the other either!

Thank you. There can't be too many early 80's Scottish bands. Big Country, Jesus and Mary Chain? 🤣

There were a lot of Scottish bands in the early 80s!!! This was the band's biggest hit and song they are known for I would think. They sang it on Top of the Pops. Maybe they are better known in Scotland! Will add another verse. Really distinctive male vocals.

Please don't start saying that
Or I'll start believing you
If I start believing you
I'll know that this......

Oops . A track that came back to sing yo me recently 😁
"Frances keep your mouth shut dear,
We don't want the neighbours round.
With their ugly little schemes,
They make the pretty world go round."

TheresAStarmanWaitingInTheSky · 07/01/2022 10:15

Aww well done @Happylittlethoughts!

Just thinking of all the great Scottish 80s bands, need to make a list!

Sounds like something Morrisey would sing!

I was thinking of less we'll known ones really. It's a tricky one. Smile

TheresAStarmanWaitingInTheSky · 07/01/2022 10:37

I don't recognise it at all.

Happylittlethoughts · 07/01/2022 10:56

Ummm, may have got a little over excited there and posted from an album and it wasn't a mainstream track 😳🤣 Sorry it was in my head recently.
This was definitely a chart track:
"And I've been waiting up by the window
Watching these cars go by
And I tell myself that I'll go through the motions
For the last time tonight"

Happylittlethoughts · 07/01/2022 10:56

Not the same band btw. 😁

TheresAStarmanWaitingInTheSky · 07/01/2022 11:37

I'm thinking of the song Walking in Memphis?

Happy Friday everyone!

I come here looking for money
Got to have it
And end up leaving with love, oh, oh
Now you've left me with nothing

I hear a lot of stories, I suppose they could be true
All about love and what it can do for you
High is the risk of striking out, the risk of getting hurt
And still I have so much to learn

If I were to say to you, "can you keep a secret?"
Would you know just what to do or where to keep it?
Then I say, "I love you", foul the situation
Hey girl, I thought we were the right combination

Before you throw my heart back on the floor
