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, Runaway Train Prosecco but not Pretty Boys. It’s a great song.

Is the French lyric Plastic Bertram? That’s all I can think of.

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies

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

That’s Radiohead, Freak.

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies

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

That’s Freak by Radiohead.

So good I posted twice 😂

Right, it has to be Plastic Bertram, Ca Plan Pour Moi (spelling?)

Cannot claim to have actually recognised the lyrics though!

I don't know the spelling either, Babooshka. But yes.

And I hate to say this, but even posted twice, it's the wrong title. Sorry. You clearly know the song though

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies

A fantabulous night to make romance

Love that song!!!!

No one got this one yet

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies

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

And don't overlook this classic

Runaway train was soul asylum

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

The Eagles - Take it to the limit?

Yes, Pantry.

Love that song!

Fantabulous night to make romance... Isn't that Moondance?

Yes! Gorgeous song. Best thing van Morrison ever did (imho, obvs). I absolutely hate did I tell you lately, which everyone else loves. Twee and sets my teeth on edge. Moondance - romantic and beautiful

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies

I don't know the spelling either, Babooshka. But yes.

And I hate to say this, but even posted twice, it's the wrong title. Sorry. You clearly know the song though

🤦‍♀️ Of course, it’s Creep!

OK Computer was the soundtrack to the early days of my relationship with DH - I will never live this down!

Oh, those Moondance lyrics were driving me mad! Lovely song (but a famously awful man)

You'll be getting divorced.... creep isn't on ok computer

Love this one:

You'll never find your gold on a sandy beach
You'll never drill for oil on a city street
I know you're looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks
But there ain't no Coup de Ville hiding at the bottom
Of a Cracker Jack box

Meatloaf
Two out of three ain’t bad

It used to be so easy living here with you
You were light and breezy and I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy
And I feel like a fool

I want to say Gloria Estefan but have a sneaking suspicion her version was a cover.

It's an old one.. Very early 70's

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies

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

Right. I'm not letting this one go.

Frankly, by not getting it you're all letting yourselves down. More, you're letting the thread(s) down. You're letting all of mumsnet down.

I can't give the next line as it contains the title. But later on in the verse...

She's there in times of need
Before it's bedtime, on her knee
To us a book she'll read

Think! Think nauseating. Think saccharine.

Is it the grandma song, no one quite like grandma?? I was going to put up the grandad song with the fella from Dad's Army but didn't think you were ready for that

That revolting Winifrefds School Choir? Grandma (we love you) ?
