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.

S'Express?

Oh, I'm pleased with this one. For Fleamaker....

Sometimes I feel like my only friend
Is the city I live in, the city of angels
Lonely as I am, we cry together

Are you still trying to get yours xsquared? Shall I give you another line or two?

Hmm...don't recognise those...

What about this..

'You and me baby we ain't nothing but mammals/so let's do it like they do it on discovery channel ...'

And from the same song. ..

'Love/the kind you clean up with a mop and bucket ..'

90s...

I think so @ProseccoBubbleFantasies please, but I do know Flea's one!

@Destroyedpeople

That is Bloodhound Gang - The Bad Touch

[quote Honeyroar]@ProseccoBubbleFantasies. One back at you.

These are the days if miracle and wonder
This is a long distance call[/quote]
I egotistically googled

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies

Right, bored of kylie. Hate that kind of pop. Love this song, though....

I kiss the morning goodbye
But deep inside you know
We never know why

No one got this one

1980s:
It’s five and I'm driving home again
Ultravox
Dancing with tears in my eyes.

Blimey x that was quick....

'The days of miracle and wonder'...that's Paul Simon off the Graceland album. ..not sure of the song tho it's in my head...

Xsquared. The link to your name is a teeny bit tenuous.

I used to be a renegade, I used to fool around
But i couldn't take the punishment, and had to settle down
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
'Cause i can tell what's going on

Band might be Canadian

Is "i kiss the morning goodbye" from A Woman in Love, Barbara Streisand?

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies

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

Not a clue!!!

Nobody got my one from pages back either😁
Do I win the internet?

Yes iggi. I think that's such a powerful song. Love it.

I did a lyric for you, but someone else guessed it. Did you see?

Willow, yes, you definitely come second. Coffee has to win the internet as being the best OP ever in supplying us regularly with lots of lyrics. But you're a worthy no 2.

Sorry about your lyrics. They're a bit rubbish. I didn't know the dong either.
Unfortunately it's your own fault for not picking a username which easily translates into an 80s song title!

Dong??? Song!

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies
Are they obscure then? I don't think I k ow any Canadian bands.

I stand corrected🤣🤣🤣
Hangs head in shame

Fare thee well cold winter and fare thee well cold frost
Nothing have I gained but my own true love I've lost
You could have used this 😉
1970s

Sorry I failed either mine.

I googled in the end and although I know they get group, I don't know that song.

Hip To Be Square - Huey Lewis and The News?

@Honeyroar

You got the butterflies all tied up Don’t make me chase you

When Doves Cry by Prince

One of my favourite songs of all time.

@xsquared

Sorry I failed either mine.

I googled my one too 😆

Katherine, here's one for you..

I used to think you were on my side
But now I'm no longer sure

80s

(Thinks I never should have started this!)

@Willow2017

Fare thee well cold winter and fare thee well cold frost Nothing have I gained but my own true love I've lost You could have used this 😉 1970s

Isnt that all around my hat? Maddy prior (sp??????) band?

Willow is in the lyrics, but not in the title, I don't think

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies

Awww, thank you 😊.

Happy Saturday all! A lovely one to get us started today.

And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky,
I'll make a wish send it to heaven then make you want to cry

1990s
