Default 80's Lyrics

Following on from Midders 90's lyrics... and since I'm a child of the 80's(not born in the 80's, Teenager in the 80's)...
Here's an 80's Lyrics Quiz..

Rules
All songs were hits in the 80's
The lyrics are not necessarily from the start of the song(i.e. they could appear in the middle, last verse chorus etc...)
Name the Artist and Song Title
10 Tokens awarded for guessing either the Artist or Title correctly
25 Tokens awarded for guessing the Artist and Title correctly
NO CHEATING

Questions

1) Shattered fragments of the past, Meet in veins on the stained glass. ANSWERED By The Guru & Midders
2) And if I'm reluctant you can pull me in, And we can relive our youth. ARTIST ANSWERED By Waldo SONG TITLE Still required
3) A finger points to show a scene, Another face where mine had been. ANSWERED By Waldo
4) I see a ship in the harbour, I can and shall obey ANSWERED By Midders
5) Hangin' out for a body shop at night, Ain't it strange what we do to feel alright. ANSWERED By Midders
6) Moments burn, slow burning golden nights, Once more see city lights, holding candles to the flame.
7) They exchanged a look, An hour later her voice shook ARTIST ANSWERED By Midders
8) I'm tired of listening to you talking in rhymes, Twisting round to make me think you're straight down the line. ANSWERED By Midders
9) I am the Son, I am the Heir, of a shyness that is criminally vulgar. ANSWERED By Mike
10) But now there is a time, A torture less sublime, Our souls are locked and frozen. ANSWERED By Midders

To err is human. To ARRR is pirate.

4) I see a ship in the harbour, I can and shall obey New Order - Blue monday?

5) Hangin' out for a body shop at night, Ain't it strange what we do to feel alright. Is it Billy Idol - eyes without a face?
Nope, just checked my stash of billy tracks, it's actually flesh for fantasy. Doh!

I only listened to that today whilst hunting for answers to these, I can't believe I missed it.

There are 10 types of people in the world.

As my daughter was a teenager in the 80s, and as I had no choice but to listen to her music, think I can solve a couple of them:

2) A broken frame by Depeche Mode (I'm still a fan of their music)

3) Reap the wild wind by Ultravox (and did anyone see him on Celebrity Masterchef - Midge Ure is the greatest!)

How did I do?
