If I was dreaming, you'd see me.........

I asked this a while back, I'm looking for a british band of the ninties, the lead singer was called terri, and I heard their song on the radio today, and these were the lyrics to it, all I can remember. I still can't find who it was though, maybe this will jog someones memory.

Wasn't Terri Nunn, singer with Berlin was it?

Got it ... '89 Lines' by Berlin


As a dog with a bone is always
In danger, so's a woman with a
Bag when meeting dark strangers
She holds it just a little bit tighter
Which she wouldn't do if my skin were lighter
It's not in my mind, I've been around the block a few times
Every time she crosses to the other side
Women supposedly got that intuition
So they should no better, but that's a dubious distinction
It's not a figment of my imagination it happens a lot
When I flag down a cab it doesn't stop
Not because I look dangerous or nothing like that
It's not 'cause he's off duty it's cause I'm black
The police come flying around
The corner with the red light screaming
I pulled over to let them pass, they pulled over too,
I thought that I was dreaming
I'm scared to death of our men in blue
It must be cold over there in your shoes

So close your eyes
In silent night
Bet you can't tell
If I'm black or white

Turn out the lights
Stand here by my side
Cause we're all alike
On the inside

One step up
Then two to the side
One more man
Let the sleeping dog lie
From the back of the bus
To screams in the night
Planting flowers of fire
With these 89 lines

I reckon 'Metro' was their best tune ...


'Take My Breath Away', was definitely their worst.

NONONONONONONONONO!!!!!!!!

It wasn't Berlin. I know who they were, top gun and all that. They broke up in the eighties. Singer had blond hair though, and a slightly odd shaped nose.

Terry Hall maybe? don't know the lyrics sorry

nonononononononono!!!!!!!! ... i'm right

Very few other details match this suggestion but the lyric fits "Dreaming" by Aurora featuring Lizzy Pattinson.

thought it was them that sung that song, but I was wrong. That not the group, too late (2002?)

How about approaching this another way!

On which radio station and at what time did you hear the song played?
