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 @Willow2017

And the city don't know that the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world
In a show with everything but Yul Brynner

1984

This thread just inspired 2 of my correct answers listening to the Popmaster questions 😁

One night in Bangkok
Murray Head
From Chess

Yes @Willow2017
You lot are really good!

@CoffeeBeansGalore I LOVE Popmaster. Was lucky to get on it last year and won a digital radio. I got 27 and 30 today.

Anyway, nobody has got this yet:

Crazy sheep you are the odd one out,
crazy sheep let them know what you're all about.

@xsquared - yours is Misfit by Curiosity.

You need a friend tonight
'Cause someone broke your heart in two
You need a volunteer
To wipe away your tears

Yes Wowfudge.

Nobody got mine so I’m adding that last world that will give it away!

My eyes wide open
I feel a breeze
Words softly spoken
In Cantonese

@xsquared. Oh wow, well done!

Adrift in a world of my own
I've played the game but to my real shame
You've left me to grieve all alone

This was actually a cover, but definitely made it his own. 1980s

The Great Pretender by Freddie!

No one got mine so I'll add more.. late 1970s

What's her name?
Is this her there?
Christ, I think he's even combed his hair
Is that her?
What's her name?
Oh, it's never gonna be the same

@Honeyroar 👍

@Honeyroar - Level 42 the Chinese Way?

Is yours China girl @Honeyroar ?

Need to Know - yours is called 'Chuck is in love' don't know who sung it

@NeedToKnow101 yes!
@xsquared no sorry.

@NeedToKnow101 is it "Is she really going out with him"?

No-one's got mine, which is the last two lines of the song:

And please do not ever look for me, but with me you will stay
And you will hear yourself in song blowing by one day.

So I'll throw in the first one:

You come from far away with pictures in your eyes

1980s.

@shinynewapple2020 - yes it's Chuck E's in love - by Rickie Lee Jones
Fab song imo.

Actually has a good intro for whoever is doing that side quiz!

Phew I got one right at last!

I wanna do the intro quiz. I’m much better at them than lyrics.

@Honeyroar Intros are definitely easier but I'd say you're hot on lyrics here!

Aw thank you. Everyone is, it’s a fun thread.
