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

Close, right band - song was message in a bottle

Oh well, I usually get the ding but not who sang it! So it’s a change. 🤣

song not ding!!

I strayed into the 70's for that one

@wowfudge 👍

@Iggi999 yes, I love it too 😊

Read while the letters still remain.
Sip from the wine of youth again.
Oaths made in silence still return.

Looking back at the photographs
Those summer days spent outside corner cafes..
Oh, I could write you paragraphs.
About those old.....

(Great thread! This is from '78)

Parisienne walkways, was this by thin lizzy, or the singer by himself? Great guitar, I remember.

Yes @ssd it was Gary Moore, amazing guitar solo

Like walking in the rain and the snow
When there's nowhere to go
And you're feeling like a part of you is dying

I'm singing this but what's it called ^^

Things we do for love!!

But who sang it, am almost tempted to say Leo Sayer but am sure it's not him?

Wash your mouth out! It's the fabulous 10cc. Though to be fair to Leo he had some good songs and was a great singer.

@SingingBabooshkaBadly

You get under my skin I don’t find it irritating

another girl another planet - the only ones

Yes both correct
Here's another classic..

I feel like a kid with a teenage crush on a school day
(On a school day afternoon)
I feel like the lead in Romeo and Juliet

The things we do for love again?!?

Ignore me

I'm singing this too but can't recall the name, I'm better at new romantic stuff

@Fleamaker123

Yes both correct Here's another classic..

I feel like a kid with a teenage crush on a school day
(On a school day afternoon)

'Never let her slip away' Andrew Gold Yeah I got one😁

Will post and find someone beat me to it!

So listen to me girl 'Cause I've been there
(Listen to me girl 'Cause I've been there)
And cast aside those feelings of dispair

Which ones are outstanding? None I know I don't think.

why not think about times to come?
and not about the things you've done

although you're miles and miles away I see you every day^

Don't know what I want
But I know how to get it
I want to destroy the passerby

Too hot, too greedy

You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you say

Bitter words mean little to me
Autumn winds will blow right through me

All different songs.

Happy Friday, everyone

Yes @Willow2017
Written by 10cc so that's why it's familiar @ssd

why not think about times to come?
and not about the things you've done
Fleetwood Mac Dont Stop

although you're miles and miles away I see you every day^

Don't know what I want
But I know how to get it
I want to destroy the passerby

Too hot, too greedy
Wuthering Heights Kate Bush

You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you say

Bitter words mean little to me

There are so many miserable 70s love songs that I think are great
Here's one from 1979:

You left in the rain without closing the door
I didn't stand in your way
Now I miss you more than I missed you before,
Where I'll find comfort, God knows

although you're miles and miles away I see you every day^

That's together in Electric dreams isn't it, Georgio Moroder (?) and Phil Oakey
