#64: **Blood and Roses** by The Smithereens 117) I pull out the plank and say “Thank you for yanking me back To the fact that there’s Always something to distract.” ``` But sometimes it's hard To know if I'm doing it right. Can I have it all? Can I have it all now? We can't have it all. ``` 1. And watching lovers part I feel you smiling What glass splinters lie so deep in your mind To tear out from your eyes with a thought to stiffin brooding lies And I’ll only watch you leave me further behind ---

1. Senses working overtime - XTC 2. We walked in the cold air. Freezing breath on a window pane, Lying and waiting. The man in the dark in a picture frame, So mystic and soulful. A voice reaching out in a piercing cry, It stays with you until The feeling has gone only you and I. It means nothing to me. This means nothing to me. 1. 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 2. 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 ~V ---

My #92 is still unsolved…it’s not that unknown of a band 1. She moves among men They would seek to have her as a prize But she is in the shadows The ocean and the sand She is everywhere and no place And a new one 2. All my lazy teenage boasts are now high precision ghosts And they’re coming round the track to haunt me. When she looks at me and laughs I remind her of the facts I’m the king of rock’n roll completely ---

I can no longer keep track of what was answered and what hasn’t because, well, there are too many pages and I’m way too lazy-- and stupid. But I think there’s a lot. Here’s another. 1. I keep your picture Up on the wall It hides a messy stain That’s lying there So dont you ask me To give it back I know you know It doesnt mean that much to me And **Squish** , your not the only one. I’ll see an answer and think I _knew_ that! ---

1. That’s 10CC “I’m Not in Love”, but I thought that was '70s! I can’t believe I didn’t get **The Chauffeur**. I LOVE that song! Here’s another 127. Here I go and I don’t know why I spin so ceaselessly Could it be he’s taking over me ---

That song is “Who’s Behind the Door” by New Orleans’ own Zebra.

A couple of mine remain unsloved. All weekend. Now, the rap ones I put up were eye-deed right away but these heavy metal (that’s a hint) ones from the same band (another hint there) have stumped you all, somehow. I know I wasn’t the only one in a painted denim jacket smoking Marlboros outside the 2nd floor fire exit in 1984. I mean, come on people. Here they are: 1. I left alone, my mind was blank I needed time to think, to get these memories from my mind What did I see? Can I believe? That what I saw that night was real and not just fantasy 92a) You’ll take my life but I’ll take yours too You’ll fire musket but I’ll run you through So when you’re waiting for the next attack You better \_\_\_\_\_\* there’s no turning back - forgot the word that goes here. Extra credit if you know what it is. I’ll do my part: No. 112 is Afrika Bambaataa (sp?) and John Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten). I can’t remeber the name of the song, “World of Destruction” maybe? What an annoyong song that was. Should I add another. Oh, what the hell: 1. She gets mad And she starts to cry She takes a swing, man She can’t hit She don’t mean no harm She just don’t know What else to do about it [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/play-name-that-tune-with-me-again-1980s-edition/121744.md?page=8) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/play-name-that-tune-with-me-again-1980s-edition/121744.md?page=10)
