First Wave Flashcards
Heaven
Is the whole of our hearts
And Heaven
Don’t tear you apart
Psychedelic Furs
I never thought it would happen
With me and a girl from Clapham
Out on the windy common
That night I ain’t forgotten…
Squeeze
If a boy had a chance A chance with someone like you Are you gonna break his heart? Let him cry for the moon? Are you hiding somewhere behind those eyes? I just freeze (I just freeze) Every time you see through me (see through) And it's all over you Electric blue
Icehouse
Under blue moon, I saw you So soon you'll take me Up in your arms, too late to beg you Or cancel it, though I know it must be The killing time Unwillingly mine
Echo & The Bunnymen
I saw you there, just standing there
And I thought I was only dreaming, yeah
I kissed you then, then once again
You said you would come and dance with me
Dance with me across the sea
And we can feel the motion of a thousand dreams
Doctor Doctor
Thompson Twins
Whoa A hot summer night, fell like a net I've gotta find my baby yet I need you, to soothe my head And turn my blue heart to red
Robert Palmer
I am the son And the heir Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar I am the son and heir Of nothing in particular
The Smiths
… Oh, I used to be disgusted
And now I try to be amused
But since their wings have got rusted
You know, the angels wanna wear my red shoes
Elvis Costello
In the dark of the night Those small hours Uncertain and anxious I need to call you Rooms full of strangers Some call me friends But I wish you were so close to me
INXS
The walls are built up stone by stone The fields divided one by one And the train conductor says Take a break, driver 8 Driver 8, take a break
R.E.M.
The middle of the road is trying to find me
I’m standing in the middle of life with my plans behind me
Well I got a smile for everyone I meet
The Pretenders
Do you believe in heaven above Do you believe in love Don't tell a lie don't be false and untrue It all comes back to you Open fire! On my burning heart I've never been lucky in love My defences are down A kiss or a frown I can't survive on my own
Real Life
if you were here i could deceive you and if you were here you would believe but would you suspect my emotion wandering, yeah do not want a part of this anymore
Thompson Twins
Ah, ha, ha
Oh-oh, yeah
‘Til you work
Somebody told me
“Boy, everything she wants is everything she sees”
I guess I must have loved you
Because I said you were the perfect girl for me
Baby, and now we’re six months older
And everything you want, and everything you see
Is out of reach, not good enough
I don’t know what the hell you want from me, oh
Wham!
I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies, something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen
And all its sad good-byes
George Michael
When your world is full of strange arrangements And gravity won't pull you through You know you're missing out on something Well that something depends on you All I'm saying It takes a lot to love you All I'm doing You know it's true All I mean now There's one thing yes one thing that turns this gray sky to blue That's the look, that's the look The look of love
ABC
We're talking away I don't know what I'm to say I'll say it anyway Today's another day to find you Shying away I'll be coming for your love, okay? Take on me (take on me)
A-ha
I’ve never seen you look like this without a reason
Another promise fallen through
Another season passes by you
I never took the smile away from anybody’s face
And that’s a desperate way to look
For someone who is still a child
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover’s voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive, here we go
Big Country
On the floors of Tokyo Or down in London town to go, go With a record selection and a mirror's reflection I'm dancing with myself When there's no one else in sight In the crowded lonely night Well, I wait so long for my love vibration And I'm dancing with myself
Billy Idol
Ready, Steady, Go I'm not in love with television I'm not in love with the radio I'm not in love with the Kings Road Because I'm in love with Cathy McGowan - she said
Generation X
London calling to the faraway towns
Now war is declared and battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls
London calling, now don’t look to us
Phony Beatlemania has bitten the dust
London calling, see we ain’t got no swing
Except for the ring of the truncheon thing
The Clash
Let me take you on a trip Around the world and back And you won't have to move, you just sit still Now let your mind do the walking And let my body do the talking Let me show you the world in my eyes
Depeche Mode
Meeting you with a view to a kill Face to faces, secret places, feel the chill Night fall covers me But you know the plans I'm making Still overseas, Could it be the whole lot opening wide A sacred why A mystery gaping inside A week is why
Duran Duran
Shake up the picture the lizard mixture with your dance on the eventide
You got me coming up with answers all of which I deny
I said it again but could I please rephrase it, maybe I can catch a ride
I couldn’t really put it much plainer but I’ll wait ‘til you decide
Duran Duran
She floats like a swan Grace on the water Lips like sugar Lips like sugar Just when you think you've caught her She glides across the water She calls for you tonight To share this moonlight
Echo & The Bunnymen
I love you whether or not you love me
I love you even if you think that I don’t
Sometimes I find you doubt my love for you
But I don’t mind
Why should I mind?
Why should I mind?
What is love anyway?
Howard Jones
I've been waiting for so long To come here now and sing this song Don't be fooled by what you see Don't be fooled by what you hear This is a song to all my friends They take the challenge to their hearts Challenging preconceived ideas Saying goodbye to long standing fears Don't crack up Bend your brain See both sides Throw off your mental chains
Howard Jones
We're not scared to lose it all Security throw through the wall Future dreams we have to realize A thousand skeptic hands Won't keep us from the things we plan Unless we're clinging to the things we prize And do you feel scared? I do But I won't stop and falter And if we threw it all away Things can only get better
Howard Jones
You can look at the menu, but you just can’t eat
You can feel the cushions, but you can’t have a seat
You can dip your foot in the pool, but you can’t have a swim
You can feel the punishment, but you can’t commit the sin
And you want her, and she wants you
We want everyone
And you want her and she wants you
No one, no one, no one ever is to blame
Howard Jones
He wasn’t looking for a pretty face
She wasn’t searching for the latest style
He didn’t want someone who walked straight off the TV
She needed someone with an interior smile
She wasn’t looking for a cuddle in the back seat
He wasn’t looking for a five minute thrill
She wasn’t thinking of tomorrow or of next week
This vacancy he meant to permanently fill
I need an everlasting love
I need a friend and a lover divine
An everlasting precious love
Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time
Howard Jones
You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
When I met you
I picked you out, I shook you up
And turned you around
Turned you into someone new
Now five years later on you’ve got the world at your feet
Success has been so easy for you
But don’t forget it’s me who put you where you are now
And I can put you back down too.
Human League
Come on baby, dry your eyes
Wipe your tears
Never like to see you cry
Won’t you please forgive me
I wouldn’t ever try to hurt you
I just needed someone to hold me
To fill the void while you were gone
To fill this space of emptiness
I’m only human
Of flesh and blood I’m made
Human
Born to make mistakes
Human League
Live baby live. Now that the day is over. I got a new sensation. In perfect moments. Impossible to refuse. Sleep baby sleep. Now that the night is over
INXS
You told me you loved me So I don't understand Why promises are snapped in two And words are made to bend The bigger, the better Some stolen from Japan Collected from around the world They'll catch you if they can Lies, lies, lies, yeah Lies, lies, lies, yeah
Thompson Twins
I have a picture
Pinned to my wall
An image of you and of me and we’re laughing, we’re loving it all
But look at our life now
All tattered and torn
We fuss and we fight and delight in the tears that we cry until dawn
Oh, whoa
Thompson Twins
This old life seemed much too long Little point in going on I couldn't think of what to say Words just vanished in a haze I was feeling cold and tired Yeah, kinda sad and uninspired When it almost seemed too much I see your face and sense the grace And feel the magic in your touch Oh, lay your hands Lay your hands on me
Thompson Twins
