whats this song? from the 80s?

Mike and the Mechanics, song is called Silent running

Sowing the Seeds of Love- Tears for Fears Every Breath You Take- The Police Sharp Dressed Man- ZZ Top Dancing With Myself- Billy Idol These were pretty good. There are many more that I just cannot think of at the moment.

"Silent Running," by Mike + The Mechanics

Take the children and yourself And hide out in the cellar By now the fighting will be close at hand Don't believe the church and state And everything they tell you Believe in me, I'm with the high command Can you hear me, can you hear me running? Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you? Can you hear me, can you hear me running? Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you? There's a gun and ammunition Just inside the doorway Use it only in emergency Better you should pray to God The Father and the Spirit Will guide you and protect from up here.

Hope this helps.

I love this song.

It's "Silent Running (On Dangerous Ground)" by Mike + The Mechanics. It was a side band for Mike Rutherford of Genesis and included Paul Carrack, who also sang lead for Ace ("How Long") and Squeeze ("Hourglass").

Dude! It was at the top of my brain,but I forgot.
