I've had this song stuck in my head and it's driving me insane, it's a tune from the 80's for sure, excellent synth work, quite upbeat. The chorus goes something like 'And we'll run for our lives', and then there's an amazing minor-key change. It's not by The Smiths or Joy Division, the vibes are less morose. Seriously, any clue would bring me so much peace!

Not sure if this fits the bill, but given your description – happened in the 80s, has synth, upbeat but not morose – the first song comes to mind is Bruce Springsteen's 'Born to Run'. Although it's not exactly new wave or post-punk, it certainly has a catchy chorus and it was quite popular. Hope this helps, and keep us updated if you find your song!

Hi there. The lyric 'And we'll run for our lives' really rings a bell. Given the synth you mentioned and the timeframe, perhaps it's 'A Forest' by The Cure? The key change in that song is absolutely brilliant – Robert Smith really knocked it out of the park. Of course, I may be off track – the 80s were a golden era for music, so many options!
