Subject: Need help indentifying 2 more 80s songs

Written By: Fred on 9/7/2000 at 4:46 p.m.

I figured out the first song was Bronski Beat. I have 2 more early 1980s songs that I am totally stumped on. This first one is from 1983 or 84 sounds a little like Naked Eyes and has female vocals, the lyrics goes "Hang on girl...meet my heart...it knows the best time for us to start" The song begins with "No soon at last I turn my back on men...It's so hard to find...."

The second song which sounds a little like Eye to Eye and has female vocals, has lyrics somewhere in the middle that goes "He needs you.....he wants you...." I'm not sure but I thought I heard the words "Story", "Sorry" and possibly "downtown."

That one is Kajagoogoo, and the song is called "Hang On Now" the singer, Limahl is a guy, but on some notes can sound female.

Sorry, but I have no clue to the second one.

Kajagoogoo," Hang On Now" Thank you, very pretty song. I have another good one for you. How about a 1982 or 83 song who's lyrics goes something like "Want to buy a submarine....it's message.....down on the water"

It's interesting how in the 1980s there were a lot of male singers that sounded like females. This also leads to much confusion.

I am absolutely stuck on this one.

Could the other one be "Submarine Dreams" by Chemical People?

John,
I just figured out what the song is. It's Thomas Dolby - One of our submarines. I think it came out in early 1983 and the lyrics goes "One of our submarines is missing tonight."

One of Our Submarines is off of the 1982 album entitled Golden Age of Wireless.

Are you sure this is right song? One of Our Submarines was my first choice but I didn't mention it because there are no lyrics about buying submarines. (Chemical Brothers was just a stab in the dark.)
