Ship to Shore Song by Chris de Burgh This timeless.classic was released by Irish singer Chris De Burgh in 1982 LYRICS  Ship to shore, do you read me anymore, This line is bad, and fading, Ship to shore, answer my call, Send me a signal, a beacon to bring me home; I have been to see the world, tasted life at every turn, And all the time, Your face came back to haunt me; Day by day the feeling grew, I know I'm still in love with you, The further that I go, The more I know it, I want to show it, Ship to shore, do you read me anymore, This line is bad, and fading, Ship to shore, answer my call, Send me a signal, a beacon to bring me home; Moving fast, all systems go, You and I had time to grow, Before there was a breakdown in transmission; How I wish that we could turn, The clock back to the days when, We were lovers in the true sense, Of the meaning, you must believe me, Ship to shore, do you read me anymore, This line is bad, I'm drowning, Ship to shore, answer my call,...

I WANT THAT MAN by DEBBIE HARRY another banging 80s music hit. This one is a personal favourite of mine. "I Want That Man" is a 1989 song recorded by the American singer Deborah Harry.

The saxophone solo on Turner's version is played by   Edgar Winter . It has become an icon of rugby league. The song title is often colloquially mis-cited as Simply the Best, reflecting a phrase in the chorus. This became so commonplace that the bracketed word 'Simply' was included in the titles for releases of some subsequent versions, and in the track listing for some Tina Turner compilation albums. Holly Knight told  Songfacts : 'The Best' is one of those rare gems that's a very positive love song, without being cheesy. — that's a tall order LYRICS  I call you when I need you, my heart's on fire You come to me, come to me wild and wild When you come to me Give me everything I need Give me a lifetime of promises and a world of dreams Speak a language of love like you know what it mea...

So why did the electronic music group OMD write a song about it? In our 2010 interview, we asked their lead singer  Andy McCluskey , who replied: "Many people simply don't know what it's actually about. Some even thought it was a coded message that we were gay. We were both geeks about WWII airplanes. The most famous and influential single bomber was Enola Gay. Obvious choice for us, really." LYRICS  Enola Gay You should have stayed at home yesterday Ah-ha, words can't describe The feeling and the way you lied These games you play They're going to end in more than tears some day Ah-ha Enola Gay It shouldn't ever have to end this way It's 8:15 And that's the time that it's always been We got your message on the radio Conditions normal, and you're coming home En...
