So did I!!!!

Saw them in brum. Where did you see them????

I saw them in Glasgow. Wasn't sure how Madness would be but thought they were fantastic, as were Squeeze. Always loved their songs.

<saunters casually in as though she’s never been away>

80s
But now he finds he is at war
Weren't we supposed to keep the peace?

80s
My intention, ask my opinion, with no excuse, my feelings still remain.

90s
All the people I was kissing
Some are here and some are missing
In the nineteen-nineties

80s
Summer breeze and brilliant light
Only love she sees
He controls on love

70s
Now the light fades out
And I wonder what I'm doing in a room like this

80s
Do you really think she’ll pull through?

shinynewapple22 · 16/05/2022 16:57

Weren’t we supposed to keep the peace? - Human League-the Lebanon?

I think the 80s one, all the people I’ve been kissing is a Pet Shop Boys one, but can’t get the title!

The Only love she sees one is Simple Minds - Promised you a miracle (I’ve just put their Greatest Hits CD on in my car yesterday!)

Anyone can do it!

IanOsenfrote · 21/05/2022 10:54

All the below are 80s No1s, one from each year of the decade

1 A million lights are dancing and there you are, a shooting star

2 Trust your inner vision, don't let others change your mind

3 Our mothers cried, sang along, who'd blame them?

4 Optimism's my best defence, I'll get through without you

5 Opens up one eager eye, focusing it on the sky

6 Dishing up love for a hungry world tell me would that appease you

7 And if all that there is, is this fear of being used I should go back to being lonely and confused

8 It's a occupation, we're a dancing nation, We keep the pressure on every night

9 I was yours and you were mine, Then but you ran around and told me lies

10 So I said, 'can't you wait a bit longer?', I'll give you all that a lover should give

Good luck everyone

hmm I’ll have to have a think about the rest, just rushing out.
