80s Lyrics Thread 3

[Honeyroar]

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

Not one of my favourites but was a popular band at the time.

No one got this.... I'll add to it..

Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend no window panes

That's shakin' stevens. This ole house

Sure is!

Life is just a party
And parties weren't meant to last

I must've missed it NeedToKnow cos I think I'd have got it from just one line

@Prosecco Prince Party like it's 1999?

Yes Coffee, but isn't it just called 1999?

prosecco correct, simple minds ghost dancing. Saw them myself in the late 80s at Roundhay Park in Leeds. Happy days

Your goat's made a mess on the carpet
Your goat's made a mess on the carpet

Oh my Goodness, it was "Allo John, got a new motor?" went on to be used on the Toshiba advert "Allo Tosh, got a Toshiba?"
But who the heck sang it?.....

Yes to song title

I dont know what those emojis are doing there. I just did the hands up ones

ALEXEI SAYLE!!!! I had to picture the TOTP performance...for some reason I kept hearing Ian Dury in my head

Only you can try to see what I'm really like
She said, only you can understand the way I feel tonight
She blamed excesses on the 'merican dream
So seldom witnessed, never seen

Seems that I was busy doing something close to nothing
But different than the day before

needtoknow Prince, Raspberry Beret

I'm simultaneously in a team meeting at work - not a lyric btw!

Bluesheep - of course!

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies - no need for apologies (you already have anyway!). I took it as intended and yes, I did write that in the last thread and it was funny that you beat me to it (especially as you probably beat me because I took so long posting due to my ‘rushes in’ comment ). I was just being silly in return as I’d just had a run of getting in first. Funnily enough the next time I posted I was pipped at the post again. 🙄

mwah to Babooshka

Blueshhep the song is called imagination, but no idea who sang it

Belouis Somme?

“No need to run and hide.”

It's a wonderful, wonderful life

Black??????

@Prosecco. Checked, yes you are right, just 1999.

Yes @ProseccoBubbleFantasies
