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.

Hi @Honeyroar, I'm afraid I didn't get that one. I know the band but not that song.

I was referring to @shinynewapple2020's dedicated lyrics.

Well done Coffee, Prosecco, Willow and Shinyapple on the ones you got.

Sorry, got a bit carried away last night and posted rather a lot all at the same time!

This one seems to be proving difficult so here’s a clue - male, solo, no longer with us.

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

That first line rings a distant bell @SingingBabooshkaBadly but it won’t quite come.

This is the other one of mine that’s still hanging around - might have got missed among all the others I posted...

70s

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

@SingingBabooshkaBadly
Yes to Elkie Brooks

This one from '81

You ask me where to begin
Am I so lost in my sin
You ask me where did I fall
I'll say I can't tell you when

Is it I Won’t let you down? Was it Yazoo?

No Honeyroar.. But it's a similar feel

Is it Depeche Mode @Fleamaker123?

No @xsquared

@Fleamaker123 somehow I’ll find my way home... don’t know who though

I'll add a couple of lines to my earlier one...

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
I feel the gaze against my skin
I feel the gaze against my skin

(80s' clue - Eastenders)

Fleamaker - is it 'it's a sin. Petshop Boys?

I could never hide the feelings
That come over me
When you're near me
I know that's how it's suppose to be
My heart keeps telling me

(late 70s)

Yes @Devoilmum
Find my way home, jon and Vangelis

Oh yes! Well done Devoilmum!

@NeedToKnow101 with the Eastenders hint is it Nick Berry? What was his song called? Every Loser Wins?

@Honeyroar - absolutely not!

@Willow2017

Cum on feel the noize. Slade. I knew Baby Jane too but thought it was for Katherine!

Spade is right, but a different track. Remember it was for devoilmum

Slade, not spade!

@xsquared

Is it something by Bananarama?

No but same kind of level of boppiness.

Is the eastenders song something outta nothing?

Some more lyrics for Sony's
It's a shite song, btw, so don't be upset you don't know it. Be proud!

See my face you know where I've been
Walking in jungle
Crusing down boulevard part of the race
Taking a tumble

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

Assassin with gun is taking his aim
To target his rival
And tossing* the street is a dangerous game
The stakes are survival

Love in that stranger
Still fearing that danger
Still crying in some avenue
And soon the hate will be there too

• I always thought the world was crossing, but Google says tossing 🤷‍♀️
