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.

@CoffeeBeansGaloreavage

Savage garden - I can sing it, can’t name it though

Babooshka did several in one post last night. And one of them was Mott the hoople, all the young dudes (the lyric was about marks and sparks).
(I was just reading back, cos I think I missed a lot in my drunkenness!)

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

Red Hot Chilli Peppers, under the bridge
(Can't take the credit, my son guessed it straight away! I wouldn't have guessed it... But I do love the song.
Thanks Prosecco

Hardly been on this thread so sorry if this one's been done already...

I checked the time, it was almost time
A curious smell, an intangible crime
I'm washing my clothes, but the stain still grows
Cover your eyes, the stain still shows

1980s

This one is for shiny:

Loving a stranger
Is fearing from danger
Is crying in some avenue
And soon the hate will be there

80s

This one's for devoil

Don't stop now a c'mon
Another drop now c'mon
I wasnt a lot now so c'mon

That was 70s

This is for needtoknow

Tried to find my mountain hideaway

80s

You only get one line cos it's too easy

I'm going to STOP trying to match song titles to people's usernames now, cos I'll only end up missing someone out and then they'll feel rubbish.

Flea, I was VERY pleased with yours. And your son is one cool dude!

You hold me in your arms, and squeeze me
And you leave me making me blue

1980s

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies
I'm racking my brains... what's the link with my username? Put me out of my misery

Not lyrics!!

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies - thanks though, I was feeling a bit out the loop so am honoured to get my own song even though I don't know it!

I'm so crap at this even though I bought Smash Hits through the whole of the early and mid 80s

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies
One of the band is called Flea?

@Devoilmum yes, Savage Garden, Truly Madly Deeply 👍

As @NeedToKnow101 said she doesn't know, I'm jumping in!

Duran Duran Is there something I should know

@Destroyedpeople it was Paul Simon - Boy in the Bubble for @ProseccoBubbleFantasies

To round off the name songs, here’s one for everyone- the title is in about every line, so you’re just guessing the artist. It was way later than 1980s though, but never mind!

It was acceptable in the 80s
It was acceptable at the time

I never thought it would happen with me/and the girl from Clapham/out on that windy common/where she dealt out the rations/of some or other passions/I said you are a lady/perhaps/she said/I may be.....

70s

isnt that all around my hat? Maddy prior (sp??????) band?
Willow is in the lyrics, but not in the title, I don't think

Yep it's Steeleye Span

@Destroyedpeople

Squeeze Up the junction.

@Destroyedpeople - Squeeeze Up the Junction - brilliant song

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies

This one's for devoil

Don't stop now a c'mon
Another drop now c'mon
I wasnt a lot now so c'mon

Awww I know that!

I used to think you were on my side
But now I'm no longer sure
Arghh and that one!

Ha you are all so quick....
