2 My blood's sweet for pain
The wind and the rain bring back words of a song (80s)

Isn't this wild boys, Duran Duran?

Rogue1001MNer · 20/10/2023 22:58

9 Alone here in the kitchen
I feel there's something missing (70s)

This is up the junction. Squeeze

Rogue1001MNer · 20/10/2023 23:03
  1. “A movie or a measure?"
I'll have a cup of tea 70s

This is dreaming. Blondie. Great song!!!

The sound is in my ears
I can't believe the things you say
They echo what I fear

This isn't voice of the beehive is it?

I say nothing if so

That might not be right

Break the window by the town hall
Listen, a siren screams
80s

I've realised what this one is @FlouncingBabooshka but only because I went to post lyrics from this song myself- I thought it was familiar !

Is this The Pet Sop Boys- Suburbia?

I kind of knew it wasn't.

And I'm sure I do know it.

I can semi hear it in my head.
Just not loud enough!!!!!

Hopefully someone else will get it and I'll kick myself (and them)
