80s (or thereabouts) song lyrics thread5

[CoffeeBeansGalore]

Hello you lovely lot, thread 5 here we go!

Post a few lines from a song, 70s, 80s, 90s & let us guess the singer & the title.

You’ve got to get Fleamaker in somehow!

Got one:

"From the very very young
To the very very old
Everybody now say aye"

Correct on Barbie Girl. Said it was easy.

Ok @ProseccoBubbleFantasies, here's one for you

I don't expect your sympathy
I'm old, I'm strange I'm confidential
Has my fantasy run out of delusion
Has my fantasy reached its logical conclusion?

Let me think about that one @ProseccoBubbleFantasies

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies

This one's for coffee, although it's probably more for Babooshka. I don't think I know the song, and I thought I knew everything this artist had created. Google found it for me

Offer me a chocolate,
No thank you, spoil my diet, know your game!
But tell me how come
They smell of bitter almonds?

1978

Just seen that it's from an album I don't enormously care for. I don't think it was ever a single

Ah!

I know that. It’s an album track from Lionheart. Coffee Homeground.

It’s about a poisoner.

For secretmeetingsundertrees

Bus driver, please look for me
'Cause I couldn't bear to see what I might see

I know this!! But will leave it

Now I'm playing it real straight, and yes I cut my hair
You might think I'm crazy, but I don't even care

Apologies to anyone I've missed out.

Not trying to be clique-y.

Just drunk and tired!

I’m leaving it too. It’s another that sticks in your head!

Got one:
"From the very very young
To the very very old
Everybody now say aye"

I can hum this but don't actually know it 🙄

Yes, secret. It was for iggi, as honey suggested

Yes it then goes something like “from the centre of the room to the corner of the globe, everybody here say aye”. But god knows who it is. Presume it’s called Say Aye or something!

@xsquared

Got one:

"From the very very young
To the very very old
Everybody now say aye"

Lean on me. Red box. Love that song great to sing along to in the car😉 Missed lots I knew! Especially Coffee Home ground. 😄

For Xsquared

You might think I’m crazy but I don’t even care
Cause I can tell what’s going in

Haha I didn't get it anyway! Not a fan despite the name though I do live where Trainspotting was set

Well done @Willow2017.

Still don't know about the one for me :(.

Is it something very obviously poppy?

Early 90s... relates to all your lyrics-spotting abilities
The things you say
Your purple prose just gives you away

@Iggi999 You're unbelievable?

@xsquared Poppy for the 80s. Think back in time

For Wiilow. Just a tad earlier than 80s (1964)

Gone my lover's dream
Lovely summer's dram
Gone and left me hear
To weep my tears into the stream

Is it Turn back time by Cher?

Here’s a few more.

One from the 80s - posted some other lyrics from this earlier but no one seemed to have a clue - these lyrics are from the start of the song so may be a bit more obvious:

It's crazy but I'm frightened by the sound of the telephone, oh yeah
I'm worried that the caller might have awful news, oh my
Who knows these days where on earth the money goes, oh yeah
No doubt we could put it to a better use, oh my

Late’70s:
She's going out tonight but drinking just champagne
And she has been checking nearly all the men

1980s:
It’s five and I'm driving home again

1970s:
And Wendy's stealing clothes from Marks & Sparks

1970s:
As twenty cannibals have hold of you, they need their protein just like you do

1980s:
I'll speak a little louder
I'll even shout
You know that I'm proud and I can't get the words out

@xsquared not Cher. Prosecco has chosen songs relating to our usernames. Sorry, my hint may have been rather tenuous

@SingingBabooshkaBadly

1980s:
I'll speak a little louder
I'll even shout
You know that I'm proud and I can't get the words out

Everywhere, Fleetwood Mac
