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

Yes, Willow. Well done x

^Fucking bloody hell! I bloody LOVE MN. But one REALLY galling thing is when you write a post on a thread and then a PP comes along, quotes or paraphrasing you, and you then read a gazillion posts marvelling at the brilliance of someone whose just said what you did after you said it.

Well, not on THIS thread. Just look 2 posts up. I said spitting image first!^

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies I am so sorry. My fault entirely for not looking further up. My dh was just loading up The Crown to watch & in my haste I missed your reply. Please accept my apologies.

Yes, Piece of the Action.

I've got your picture, I've got your picture
I'd like a million of you, all 'round my cell
I want a doctor to take your picture
So I can look at you from inside as well

Turning Japanese - The Vapours

@Honeyroar

Ah I feel love. I’d never have got that!

Right - more lines from mine. (it’s been done already on previous threads and it got guessed quickly- I must’ve picked a tough line!)

It’s not the things that you say
It’s not the things you do
It must be something more
And if I feel this way for so long
Tell me is it all for nothing
Just don’t walk out the door

No sorry, have repeated those words over in my head, can't get it. More of a clue?

Spot on @shinynewapple2020

It’s not the things that you say
It’s not the things you do
It must be something more
And if I feel this way for so long
Tell me is it all for nothing
Just don’t walk out the door

Sounds a bit like Wishing, Flock of Seagulls??

Here comes Johnny, gonna tell you the story
Hand me down my walkin' shoes
Here comes Johnny with the power and the glory
Backbeat the talkin' blues

Dire straits.walk of LIFE!

🎉🎉🎉👍👍Yes @Fleamaker123👍👍🎉🎉🎉
It was Wishing by a Flock of Seagulls.

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies I think Coffee sang the Chicken song at me because I said it was even worse than Don Quixote to hear just before bed.🤣 But the chicken song spotters award is yours.🏆

Til she took him to the silver stream.
Then she whispered words like he’d never heard
That made him all shudder inside
When she said..,

This was early to mid 70s but used to get played in the 80s at discos!

@Honeyroar Earworm backfire. I was humming it this morning 🤣.

@Honeyroar
The silver stream bit rings a bell...

Wig wam bam
No idea who did it though!

😁well done! It was by Sweet.

Tongue-tied or short of breath, don't even try
Try a little harder
Something's wrong, you're not naive, you must must be strong
Ooh, baby, try

Would never have guessed Sweet. Oddly when I got it, in my head the song morphed into Alvin Stardust My coo ca choo which is really unfortunate

@coffee - Too Shy by Kajagoogoo

I’ve had Wigwam Bam in my head all morning! Round here we used to do a certain dance to it - did any of you? (or was it started by a pervy DJ at our school disco??). Always got played alongside Agado!

@Honeyroar
I've just watched it on YouTube, it was murdered in the 80's by Black Lace, say no more.

Correct. Too Shy by Kajagoogoo

I ask you the questions but you tell me lies
'Cause all of the time, you're just full of surprise
Please tell me, please tell me if all this is true
'Cause deep down inside, all I wanted was you

Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
