Particularly 80s alternative.

Starting off with a good one.

My favorite line in a song:

You had to sneak into my room
just to read my diary
it was just to see, just to see, all the things
you knew I'd written about you?
Oh, so many illustrations​


Morrissey

Suedehead

One of the most beautifully sung and very cruel chorus:

Take your hands off me
I don't belong to you, you see
Take a look at my face
For the last time
I never knew you
You never knew me
Say hello goodbye
Say hello wave goodbye

I cannot find the original video. What YouTube claims is the original, is not.

Soft Cell

Say Hello Wave Goodbye (Original extended version)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UmU3cRWNtM

Full lyrics - so cruel :) :

Standing in the door of the Pink Flamingo
Crying in the rain
It was a kind of so so love
And I'm going to make sure it never
Happens again
You and I
It had to be
The standing joke of the year
You were a sleep around
A lost and found
And not for me I fear

I tried to make it work
You in a cocktail skirt
And me in a suit
(Well it just wasn't me)
You're used to wearing less
And now your life's a mess
So insecure you see
I put up with all the scenes
And this is one scene
That's going to be played my way

Take your hands off me
I don't belong to you, you see
Take a look at my face
For the last time
I never knew you
You never knew me
Say hello goodbye
Say hello wave goodbye

Under the deep red light
I can see the makeup sliding down
Hey little girl you will always make up
So take off that unbecoming frown
What about me - well
I'll find someone
That's not going cheap in the sales
A nice little housewife
Who'll give me a steady life
And won't keep going off the rails

Take your hands off me
I don't belong to you, you see
Take a look at my face
For the last time
I never knew you
You never knew me
Say hello goodbye
Say hello wave goodbye

We've been involved
For quite a while now
And to keep you secret has been hell
We're strangers meeting for the first time, okay?
Just smile and say hello
Say hello then wave goodbye

Say hello then wave goodbye (x3)
Say hello wave goodbye
Say hello then wave goodbye
Say hello say goodbye
Goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye

Goodbye...
 
I was riding on a concrete slab,
down a river of useless flab
it was such a beautiful day
I heard a witchdoctor say, "I'll turn you into a toadstool"
I'm looking for the joke with a microscope
my muscle's twitching on your words
if you're on the streets you lose your nerves
divinity throws you a curve
sticks you and then you go beserk
abhoaring no inspiration.
I'm looking for the joke with a microscope
page out of a comic book
a chicken hanging on a hook
a river and a babbling brook
a sermon and a teenage hook
shaking my hand at your fake face
a suicide a certain look
a microphone a loose guitar
people feeling near and far
stupidity a mental scar
put cruel into cruelty
as life goes by you in a blurr
an achoholic has gone to far everything just goes to far

I was pissing on the desert sands, when the desert whispered to me, "damn! isn't this a shame? things will never be the same..."
I run this gas and oasis n

ow I'm looking for the joke with a microscope

I was a teenage dinosaur, stoned and obsolete I didn't get fucked and I didn't get kissed I got so fucking dense
using my head for an ashtray
now I'll tell you who I am I'm the repo-man
and I'm looking for the joke looking for the joke

I'm looking for the joke with a microscope
 
No good music groups came out of the 80s. It took Nirvana and grunge alt to save us from the 80s. Even the 70s great prog groups suffered during this time.

I was a dark time for rock and roll.

Metallica, Guns n Roses and I'll throw in REM.

They'll be disappointed.

Good thing there's my Prog Music thread.

REM is considered classic alternative. I am glad you threw it in.
