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

ssd · 18/06/2020 21:45

NeedToKnow101 · 18/06/2020 21:46

@Honeyroar - yes! Just watching a documentary about page 3 girls that inspired me .. .

First time I’ve seen this thread and admittedly haven’t rtft let alone the other two threads so apologies in advance if it’s been done already but what about this beauty:

‘Saw the world crashing all around your face
Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace’

Honeyroar · 18/06/2020 22:10

@NeedToKnow101 I saw the trailer, I think that’s why I got the lyric. I meant to watch it, I didn’t realise it was tonight. Was it good?

I think this one's super hard, but you lot are nothing short of brilliant, so....

You've taken lots of chances before
But I'm not gonna give any more
Don't ask me

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 18/06/2020 22:28

I can't believe we've almost filled up another thread!

NeedToKnow101 · 18/06/2020 22:37

@Honeyroar - yes it was really interesting. The models were lovely, the industry not so much... publicly and lecherously counting down to a model's 16th birthday so they could show them topless..

NeedToKnow101 · 18/06/2020 22:37

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies - shall we do another one? Or 70s next time?

Honeyroar · 18/06/2020 22:38

It’s fast moving, isn’t it, but good fun. Although I’m running out of tracks! Someone start a new thread if it finishes. I missed it when I couldn’t find it last time!

OP posts:
Honeyroar · 18/06/2020 22:39

We could expand to include late 70s/early 90s?

OP posts:
ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 18/06/2020 22:50

I warn you all now, if we go 70s I'll bore you all in about 30 seconds with all the punk I love that no one else does! (Although I do love disco too, so it's not all bad).

Maybe the next thread could have a slightly vague title? 80-ish song lyrics, perhaps.

Actually, there have been loads of songs I looked up cos I wanted to put them on here only to discover they were 70s or 90s, so some more flexibility would be fun.

@RiftGibbon

Oops...missed a few days.

I won't try to catch up with the ones that have been posted, but I'll offer up this one.

Those who came before me
Lived through their vocations
From the past until completion
They'll turn away no more

Another set of lines from the same song, which will probably give it away...

How does it feel
To treat me like you do
When you've laid your hands upon me
And told me who you are

Honeyroar · 18/06/2020 23:02

New Order Blue Monday.

Let’s call it the mostly 80s lyric thread!

OP posts:
ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 18/06/2020 23:08

Sorry, Honey did it before I saw your post.

Honeyroar · 18/06/2020 23:13

No worries it’s practically the same anyway. Jobs a goodun!👍

Is that modern english - melt with you?
NeedToKnow101 · 18/06/2020 23:26

Let's end on the first number 1 of 1980...
You gotta feel that heat
And we can ride the boogie
Share that beat of love

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 18/06/2020 23:27

Ooh, I like the idea of 80s or thereabouts...

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 18/06/2020 23:27

Rock with you, Michael Jackson
