I thought this thread needed reviving - it's been a while .

All 80s

(1). One day he'll build a statue with his hands
So gentle when he tries to understand
This subterfuge he never really planned

(2). It's on the front page of the papers
This is their hour of need
Where's a policeman when you need one

(3). Promise me just one more night
Then we'll go our separate ways

(4). Those who play the power game
They take the profits, you take the blame
When they tell you there's no rise in pay

(5). On the table, signs of love lies scattered
And the walls break, with a crashing within

(6). With your avenger eyes
And your catlike ways
I can hold you
You are a fool

(7) She lost her virtue before she could write
I lost mine too, on my very first night with you
You'll have to guide me, these impossible schemes

No 1 is Lifeline by Spandau Ballet

Everywhere across the land
In front of their mirrors with combs in their hands
They prepare to make a stand
Lover to lover, woman to man

Watching every motion in my foolish lover's game
On this endless ocean, finally lovers know no shame

You've been hurtin
You know I'll never let you down oh, no
And I'll try anything to keep it workin

Turn around to see you
In a crowded place
I watch for the emotions
On a guarded face

Guess mine is not the first heart broken
My eyes are not the first to cry

There's just no getting over you

She swam by me, she got a cramp
He ran by me, got my suit damp
I saved her life, she nearly drowned
He showed off, splashing around
