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

Ah! Got it now - Houdini!

Yes Babooshka

Stumped on that one.

Try this:
The first time in my life,
I leave the lights on

That’s Hammer Horror Willow.

Meh too easy🤣🤣🤣

And so I face the wall
Turn my back against it all
How I wish I’d been unborn
Wish I was unliving here

Yep. Glad you are enjoying it. I keep missing it as its on too late!

She's always a friend to you
And she's a friend to me

Is that Neil diamond always a woman to me, prosecco?

@Loveletters123

And so I face the wall Turn my back against it all How I wish I’d been unborn Wish I was unliving here

Eurythmics and sex crime I think

Correct @Iggi999

Always a woman to me is by Billy Joel

Always a woman to me is a lovely song. But the lyrics above are for something altogether more sickly

Going a bit later with this one - one of my favourites from the early 90s:

Got no reason for coming to me and the rain running down

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies

Pantry!!!!! Missed you.

Is that sinead o'connor?

Yes indeed - from the amazing Troy

Thank you, good to be back - I’ve had a crazy busy week but loved catching up with everyone’s lyrics.

I don't think anyone's got this one, and it's a REALLY beautiful song - lovely, lovely words and sentiment. I'll give you some more....

Bitter words mean little to me
Autumn winds will blow right through me
And someday in the midst of time
When they asked me if I knew you
I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine

And another:

Promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep

Right, now to get myself back into 80s mode...

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies

I was thinking 'bout a woman who might have loved me I never knew

Noone got this yesterday. More lyrics needed???

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies - I don’t think I know that song but those lyrics are beautiful.

I meant the ‘I’d say you were a friend of mine lyrics’ - we crossed posts.

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies

Allez hop! Un martin une louloute est v'nue chez-moi

Or this one. Giving you more lyrics won't help because it's french, but I'm sure it was no 1 ages. In the charts for a long time in any case. 1978 ish???

The damned did a version of it called jet boy jet girl, but that won't help anyone cos nobody except me likes the damned 😆

Ok. Got too stuck in the 70s yesterday. How about

So in your broken home he broke all your bones
Now you're taking it time after time

You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry

Yeah, it's a gorgeous song, Babooshka. Apparently it's quite often used in funerals because the lyrics are about looking back and reflecting on life

The band were quite big in the US, not so much here, but they're British.

And another:

Promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep

Right, now to get myself back into 80s mode...

I love that song. Is it called runaway train? No idea who sung it. Pretty boys????
