I found that too.

I don't care if someone wants to cheat or not. Look at cheating as a learning exercise

No idea what that is and don't want to cheat obvs, but I find those lyrics resonate strongly - can relate!

Yes, it is Japan! The song is "Visions of China"

I saw them perform in 1981/82 I think it was.

I saw them in the early 80s too, in Portsmouth.

Here is one for you all

I was carried away
I was carried away
I was moving too fast on impossible tracks
I was carried away

I was easily led
Because I’m easily led
By the moon, by the tide, by whatever you like
I’m just so easily led

I've always liked David Sylvian

Got to be Talking Heads with Psycho Killer.

That song was burned into my brain from an early age. Much prefer the Stop Making Sense version with the acoustic intro

'Like every good boy should' rings a bell, but otherwise, I'm afraid I haven't got it.

I'm assuming Japan?

So if you got that one Debbie, I'm sure you'll get this one?

I'm walking young and strong
But just a little too thin 
I may be happy, 
But I don't have a clue to this life 
In my mind 

Stay with me 
We could learn to fight
Like every good boy should ...

Oh yeah, I should have got that one as I'm a Bowie fan! Doh!

Rock & Roll Suicide, Bowie.

I can't get your one but hopefully someone shall.

I have no idea what the song in the original post is Debbie, but I've just guessed Out-Of-Steps one as Kylie's "can't get you out of my head", so I'll post one to guess now:

If manners maketh man, as someone said,

Then he's the hero of the day

It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile

Be yourself, no matter what they say

Can't get you out of my head, by Kylie

(A song that I wish that I could feel at will...)

It's a perfect day for letting go
For setting fire to bridges
Boats and other dreary worlds you know
And let's get happy
It's a perfect day for making out
To wake up with a smile without a doubt
To burst, grin, giggle, bliss, skip, jump and sing and shout
Let's get happy

Oh, is that how it works - I didn't know. Oops. OK... I'll have a think...

Forbidden Colours I think David Sylvian.

Love it.

Well done.

Such a wonderful piece of music, but so sad especially in light of the death of Ian Curtis.

Your turn next.

OK - I'll have to open this up to Debbie too... 

I finally know one!!! Love Will Tear Us Apart! Joy Division. Me or Desmond were bound to get this 

Why is the bedroom so cold turned away on your side?
Is my timing that flawed, our respect run so dry?
Yet there's still this appeal that we've kept through our lives

Taking Heads Psycho Killer.

I played that album on repeat at a shared flat I lived in in Southsea in my early 20s.

Thank you for the reminder.
