80s Lyrics Thread 3

[Honeyroar]

Anyone still want to play?
Try and guess the 80s song from the lyrics

babooshka correct

I'll tell you what
Why don't we cross the city limit
And head on down the M62
It's only thirty nine miles
And forty five minutes to Manchester
And that's my birth-place, you know

That's Driving Away from Home by It's Immaterial

wowfudge correct!

@MrJollyLivesNextDoor that’s Faith No More - Epuc. I posted the same lines on the other thread, awesome song.

@wowfudge - correct.

This one’s still hanging around. Title is xxed out:

You burn in the breadline and ribbons and all
So Xxxxx, you won't be late, you always wait
This generation, the walk to the wall
But I'm not angry, get your gear, get out of here and
Xxxx…

babooshka ahhh! It's Aztec camera, walk out winter.

Epic not Epuc!!

Bluesheep. - yessss!

The soft chant of new-born singing
The magic force of your feelings

babooshka first picture of you, the Lotus Eaters

There was never one as I who could stand the reasons why
Who would even take the time
Did you care, was I right?
Only once did you try

@Bluesheep8

Did you care was I right is the only bit vaguely familiar...is it In This Big Area or something like that? No idea who sang it though

Riding through dust clouds and barren wastes
Galloping hard on the plains

mrjolly YES! That's the correct title, the band was Then Jericho

That's iron maiden MrJolly. Run to the hills.

Unemployment's rising in the chigley end of town
And it's spreading like pneumonia

Bit peeved I missed the Then Jericho one - I’d been intending to post that one myself so I might have stood half a chance of guessing it! I’m not half as good at this game as I thought I’d be.

Spoke of a girl, he viewed like no other
Whom he had come to know
I swallowed hard and listened intently
Resigned beside the glow

Singing is that "Love is a wonderful colour"? I think by the Icicle works

Old pirates yes they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies

Unemployment's rising in the chigley end of town And it's spreading like pneumonia

that's the trumpton riots - half man half biscuit

Whoop whoop secretmeetingsundertrees
I thought I'd defeated everyone with that one.

RiftGibbon yours is lovely Bob Marley, redemption song

Can't resist giving you Supercalifragilisticborussiamönchengladbach

Ha ha its The Bastard Son of Dean Friedman by Half Man Half Biscuit! My ds and I used to torment dm with this. Getting her back for her shitty Dean Friedman album. Thanks for the memory 😂
