All correct so far Roguey but which Deacon Blue if you want points??

Honeyroar · 11/09/2023 17:50

Nobody has got my number 7 yet. And they should have!! Where’s @ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea when she’s needed??

No 7
If you can you’ll see the world in all his fire
take a chance like all the dreamers
(80s)

Save a prayer, Duran Duran!!!

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 11/09/2023 18:11

Honey, I can feel your eyes boring into me 🤣🤣🤣

Honeyroar · 11/09/2023 18:19

Good! 😀

Rogue1001MNer · 11/09/2023 19:28

Oops

Rogue1001MNer · 11/09/2023 19:29

DB - chocolate girl, I think.

I'm not a big fan

Honeyroar · 11/09/2023 19:44

Correct Rogue. I like their early stuff. Rain town..

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 11/09/2023 22:15

Well done everyone, missed it all again! Any outstanding?

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 11/09/2023 22:16

I actually knew most of them for a change!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 11/09/2023 22:19

Evening Goody 👋

I think you've posted those particular lines before, Honey, and despite a few of us saying it was our favourite DD song, none of us got it !

Honeyroar · 12/09/2023 11:06

I’ve failed to get a lot of Duran Duran lyrics over the years on this thread, despite loving them. It doesn’t help that they’re so obscure!

Honeyroar · 12/09/2023 11:49

I turned out the lights, the tv and the radio
still I can’t escape the ghost of you
(90s)

you started this fire down in my soul
now can’t you sed it burning out of control?
(80s)

I hold onto your body
and feel every move you make
your voice is warm and tender
a love I could not gorsake
(80s)

Ooh just think of the magic
ooh ooh don’t think it’s tragic
Hey hey hey just think of the magic
(80s)

Number 3 is power of love - I think it's Jennifer Rush?

ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea · 12/09/2023 12:04

4 is sweet little mystery - wet wet wet (like the weather today !)

ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea · 12/09/2023 12:05

Number 1 is Duran Duran ordinary world

ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea · 12/09/2023 12:06

I know the second one too but it's escaping me at the minute !

LauraNorda · 12/09/2023 12:12

Number 2 is Communards - Don't leave me this way.
