80s (or thereabouts) song lyrics thread 4

[ProseccoBubbleFantasies]

Put up a line or two from a song for people to guess.

For example:

Is there anybody out there trying to get through?
My eyes are so cloudy I cant see you

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies

Here's one just for you then...

And you look so mean because your pants are too tight

And forgot this one. 70s

Babooshka wham.

Need to think about the other 2

Forgot the song title.... everything she wants

I'm finding the 90s ones much harder.

Don't know if it's the same for the rest of you? I assume most of you on here are a similar age to me. I think my relationship with music changed in the 90s. I met and married DH. Spent less time in my bedroom listening to music over and over. No making up dance routines with friends, and not really having conversations about lyrics with them any more

Win or lose
sink or swim
one thing is certain
we'll never give in

1984

What happened to all the easy ones?

Aww that’s the Frog Song by Paul Macartney

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies Agree with you tbh. Became a teenager in the 80s, but anything other than the mainstream 1990s stuff, I'm rather lost!

@Honeyroar Correct 😊

Some of these are hard - I think I have to admit I’m stuck in an eighties cultural time warp!

We bite and scratch and scream all night

Eighties

Babooshka is the rain coming down one The Connells 74 75?

And PantryBoy The Cure, Lovecats?

Absolutely adore this one.

The full moon's glowing
Blood red in the sky
It hangs like fire
On this winter's night

1993

And Drop Dead Gorgeous was Republica.

Argh look way for 2 minutes and I miss 2!

I guess I never really stood a chance
I liked the music but I couldn't dance
1970's

Crepuscularcritter yes, well done! That one’s been hanging around all day.

Agree Prosecco - I know a lot of 80s lyrics regardless of whether I liked the band or not but not so with the 90s. And yes, I think it has a lot to do with having less time to obsessively listen to music then.

I think quite a few 90s bands just passed me by - Republica being one of them.

I’ll add a bit to the other one - 90s remember.

Is there someone else?
Or am I too familiar?
Was it when I said I wanted to have children?
Tore up all your photos,
Didn't feel too clever,
Spent the whole of Sunday
Sticking you together.

It was a hot summer night and the beach was burning
There was fog crawling over the sand
And when I listened to your heart I hear the whole world turning
I see the shooting stars, falling through your trembling hands

Late 1970s

Late 1970s

Meatloaf You took the words right outta my mouth

I'm as human as the next girl

I like a bit of flattery

But I don't need your practiced lines

Your school of charm mentality

And here’s one from the 70s.

She's so bold and me feeling old, just stroking her face

Nice easy 1980s

I want to be where the sun warms the sky
When it's time for siesta you can watch them go by
Beautiful faces, no cares in this world
Where a girl loves a boy, and a boy loves a girl

And I had one from the last thread that I'm not sure if anyone got (or I missed it).

I've come to smell the seasons change

And watch the city as the sun goes down again

@Willow2017 yes 😊
