Watching every motion in my foolish lover's game
On this endless ocean, finally lovers know no shame
80s

Berlin. Take my breath away.

Gah, I've missed so many!

Nothing else immediately speaking to me

Rogue1001MNer · 12/05/2023 17:07

But lovely to see some lyrics.

Hello and happy Friday all x x

ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea · 12/05/2023 17:20

Top Gun?

Highway to the danger zone?
You've lost that loving feeling?

That wasn't 80s though .

I need to think of some more film songs and I don't recognise the lyrics

Bugger I was just about to do loads of them and a load of customers came (couldn’t even type O N-J’s name out) and when I came back you’d all got the Grease ones!

All others correct 👍😊

@ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea is 6 Torch by Soft Cell? It's the B side to the extended mix/EP of Tainted Love, I think.

Honeyroar · 12/05/2023 18:37

Is anything left?

Thank you @CoffeeBeansGalore , lovely to hear from everyone too!

It is Torch. I'm pretty sure it was a single itself though .

ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea · 12/05/2023 19:49

@ultrablue correct to Style Council

It is! That's the last of mine. All guessed now.

Here's mine

1

There's a new game we like to play, you see
A game with added reality
You treat me like a dog, get me down on my knees...

2 this one has been going round in my head all day.

But I say nothing, I talk to no-one.
I know what I believe. Don't need to wear it on my sleeve.
I talk to no-one, I will say nothing.
If we come and go alone, then what's the point of carrying these arcades?

Honeyroar · 12/05/2023 20:30

Ooh and the penny has just dropped for the other one. Depeche Mode - Master and Servant.

ultrablue · 12/05/2023 20:33

Honeyroar · 12/05/2023 20:34

Here are a couple from me -
A.
he’s out on bail and out of jail
and that’s the way it goes

B.
We’re so wonderfully, wonderfully, wonderfully wonderfully pretty
you know that I’d do anything for you

Honeyroar · 12/05/2023 20:35
