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

@CoffeeBeansGalore
Yes...solo singer but he was in a very famous 60's band

George Harrison

I haven't thought of new lyrics for ages, need to unfreeze my brain!

Yes to Wowfudge and Shinynewapple - Jackie. The Marc Almond version was released in 1991. It was written and first recorded by Jacques Brel and then recorded in English by Scott Walker.

Yes, to Prosecco and the Beastie Boys - mind you, I reckon you can get the ‘I see my dreams come tumbling down’ one...

Go on Iggy!

And though I’m not making plans
I hope that you understand there’s a reason why

Honeybear
Tell me lies
Fleetwood Mac

She's a flower, I could paint her
She's a child of the sun

@Willow2017 that’s right.

The wind blows hard against this mountainside
Across the sea into my soul
It reaches into where I cannot hide
Setting my feet upon the road

Kyrie elison (is that the spelling?) Mister mister
I think we are sympatico Honey

Yes it is. I was hoping someone got it because I can’t spell it either! 😁

Babooshka. The clash!!!!! Very, very oddly, I didn't get at all first time round, but totally got from your prompt. Train in vain.
I like the clash!

There's Klingons on the starboard bow
Starboard bow
Starboard bow
There's Klingons on the starboard bow
Starboard bow, Jim!

Star trekkin- was that aqua?

Star trekkin correct. Band was The Firm 😊

For those poor souls that have never heard this delightful (ahem) ditty, this is the chorus:

Star Trekkin' across the universe
On the Starship Enterprise, under Captain Kirk
Star Trekkin' across the universe
Boldly going forward, 'cause we can't find reverse

😡Grrr @CoffeeBeansGalore
Wishing you another earwig backfire!
(goes off to bed muttering It’s life Jim but not as we know it, we come in peace, shoot to kill etc)

And when you turned to me and smiled, it took my breath away
And I have never had such a feeling
Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight

I had no idea until a few weeks ago - thank you Tony Blackburn - that Got My Mind Set on You was a cover.

Try this:
Can I see you sometime
We can go kissing through the blind

@Honeyroar 😁 Sweet dreams

It's life, Jim
But not as we know it
Not as we know it
Not as we know it
It's life, Jim
But not as we know it
Not as we know it, Captain

Coffeebeans - Lady in Red Chris de Burgh
I like some of his other songs but not that one!

Lady in Red. Yes.

A nice one before I toddle off to bed:

I know a man ain't supposed to cry
But these tears I can't hold inside
Losin' you would end my life you see
'Cause you mean that much to me

Re-released in 1985 (original 1960s).

Didn't need 4 lines, coffee to know that's heard it through the grapevine. Marvyn Gaye. Levi ad.
Pow! Full points

What would you say if I took those words away?
1990
