Default What song defines the early 80's to you!!

To me it is Depech Mode and 'Enjoy The Silence'. I'm a 36 year old New Romantic.

Been listening to the extended version tonight (stunning version) and boy does it bring back memories.

And if you don't give a sh*t about 80's music don't post.

In 1965 Vietnam seemed like just another foreign war but it wasn't.
It was different in many ways, as so were those that did the fighting.
In World War II the average age of the combat soldier was 21

In Vietnam he was 19

In inininininin Vietnam he was 19
In inininininin Vietnam he was 19
In inininininin Vietnam he was 19
n n n n nineteen

Oh for those Karaoke moments..

In my imagination
There is no complication
I dream about U all the time
In my mind, a celebration
The sweetest of sensation
Thinking U could B mine
In my imagination
There is no hesitation
We walk 2gether hand in hand
I`m dreaming
U fell in love with me
Like I`m in love with U
But dreaming`s all I do
If only they`d come true

CHORUS
I should B so lucky
Lucky, lucky, lucky
I should B so lucky in love
I should B so lucky
Lucky, lucky, lucky
I should B so lucky in love

It`s a crazy situation
U always keep me waiting
Because it`s only make believe
And I would come a-running
2 give U all my loving
If 1 day U would notice me
My heart is close 2 breaking
And I can`t go on faking
The fantasy that you`ll be mine
I`m dreaming
That U`re in love with me
Like I`m in love with U
But dreaming`s all I do
If only they`d come true

I should B so lucky
I should B so lucky
I,I I should B so lucky
I should B so lucky
I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I

In my imagination
There is no hesitation
We walk 2gether hand in hand
I`m dreaming
That U`re in love with me
Like I`m in love with U
But dreaming`s all I do
If only they`d come true
