I don't have a favorite song, but I have to share a couple since they're from the 80s and you may not have heard of them and you need to! And you must listen to more songs by both bands - brilliance all over the place!
Just out of spite
I confess I've ruined three lives
Don't sleep so tight
Because I didn't care 'til I found out that one of them was mine
Night after night, time after time
Done too much of both types of whining
Still wasn't right, fight after fight
To get out of my life, get away from me, get away from that gun
No it's not a joke, it's cards on the table time
And I could have phoned, I could have spoke
But how to break the news without breaking your heart
Being dead don't hurt
No only dying
Cards on the table time
Sometimes it's right to say goodnight
Always searching for paradise
I'll admit that I'm good as blind
Darling, I confess, yes I've ruined three lives
Did not care 'til I found out that one of them was mine
Confess
(Our love seems like a punishment)
And I confess
(If it's all the same to you I'll stay indifferent)
I confess, I confess
I confess
I confess, I confess
I confess
No-one wins and there's no denying

Don't pretend like you don't know why
Just a little word here, a little push there, darling
I confess, look I confess that I don't really care
I confess, I confess
I confess
Out like a light, another boy who's given up trying
Blinded by fright, he screams my life's not open
Please get out
I know I'm shouting, I like to shout
It's not a joke, it's cards on the table time
And it's not a joke, it's cards on the table time
And I could have phoned, I could have spoke
But how to break the news without breaking your heart
Being dead don't hurt
No only dying
Cards on the table time
Sometimes it's right to say goodnight
Always searching for paradise
I'll admit that I'm good as blind
Darling, I confess, yes I've ruined three lives
Did not care 'til I found out that one of them was mine
I confess
(I deserve some type of punishment)
I confess
(If it's all the same to you I'll stay indifferent)
I confess, I confess
I confess
I confess, I confess
I confess
I confess, I confess
I confess
I confess, I confess
I confess
Shyness is nice, and
Shyness can stop you
From doing all the things in life
You'd like to
Shyness is nice, and
Shyness can stop you
From doing all the things in life
You'd like to
So, if there's something you'd like to try
If there's something you'd like to try
ASK ME - I WON'T SAY "NO" - HOW COULD I ?
Coyness is nice, and
Coyness can stop you
From saying all the things in
Life you'd like to
So, if there's something you'd like to try
If there's something you'd like to try
ASK ME - I WON'T SAY "NO" - HOW COULD I ?
Spending warm Summer days indoors
Writing frightening verse
To a buck-toothed girl in Luxembourg
ASK ME, ASK ME, ASK ME
ASK ME, ASK ME, ASK ME
Because if it's not Love
Then it's the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb
That will bring us together
Nature is a language - can't you read ?
Nature is a language - can't you read ?
SO ... ASK ME, ASK ME, ASK ME
ASK ME, ASK ME, ASK ME
Because if it's not Love
Then it's the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb
That will bring us together
If it's not Love
Then it's the Bomb
Then it's the Bomb
That will bring us together
SO ... ASK ME, ASK ME, ASK ME
ASK ME, ASK ME, ASK ME
Oh, la ...
