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

Willow2017

While I stand alone
A bell is ringing far away

Just another winter's tale, David Essex?

I really lost my head last night
You've got a right to stop believin'
There's still a little love left, even so

70s

@Quizhelper here are some:

Look of Love - ABC
Beat It - Michael Jackson
Pretty in Pink - Joe Jackson?

Well done Willow and Apple, t'was David Soul.
That's loads of good songs. I'm not sure about a great 90's one and my 70s perspective is skewed from being a small child at the time

@quizhelper - how about for the 90s questions
Faith no more - Epic
Blur - Girls and Boys
Take That- Relight my Fire
Duran Duran - Come undone

@Willow2017 @CoffeeBeansGalore ahem, I said David Essex winter's Tale on my 8:15 post.

Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains,
growin' like a breeze

Early 70's

Is that Country Roads fleamaker?

Honeyroar I could do a whole quiz just on different decades of Duran Duran songs!
(But no one would speak to me after)

Nobody got this 80s track from earlier. People of you have guessed plenty of their others on previous threads.

My eyes wide open
I feel a breeze
Words softly spoken
In .............. (if I wrote that word I’d give it away!)

Yes @Quizhelper

A few more from the 70s, should be fairly well-known intros
Dancing Queen - Abba
Stairway to heaven - Led Zepplin
Walk on the wild side - Lou Reed
Brown Sugar - The Rolling Stones
Free Bird - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Sultans of swing - Dire Straits

It's a football song here Flea, don't remember who by though - is it a John Denver one? Glen Campbell?
Ooh, might use Witchita Lineman in my quiz

Thank you librarymiss, I wouldn't have thought of some of those great ideas

Just do Duran Duran! I’d love it.

Other good 80s intros-
Ain’t Nobody - Chaka
Ghost town - Specials
Rapture - Blondie
Don’t you want me - Human League
Water boys - whole of the moon
Papa don’t preach/Like a Virgin (not long but recognisable)

70s

Donna Summer - I Feel Love
Tragedy - Bee Gees (or Night Fever)
Dancing Queen - ABBA
September -
Car Wash - Rolls Royce
YMCA

As long as they don't think Tragedy is by Steps
