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.

@ThatLibraryMiss
I'm so tired of being lonely...

Is that Roy Orbison when he was in the Travelling Wilberrys?

Fleamaker, it is! There are only two of the Wilburys left now.

Oh, this is where you’ve all been

Yes, that last one on the old thread was Queen Bitch.

That lyric from Chanson d’Amour took me back. One of the least cool facts about me (one of them - there are many, I admit) is that the first group I ever saw live were Manhattan Transfer . In my defence I was very young and was dragged along by my uncle whose friend had dropped out at the last minute.

Late that night I park my car
Stake my place in the singles bar

@SingingBabooshkaBadly

That last one is Love is the Drug by Roxy Music

(reassuring to see you have an uncool first ever band too! I was taken by default to Showaddywaddy by my friend and her mum who was a big fan)

More of mine yet to be guessed.

We look for love, no time for tears
Wasted water's all that is
And it don't make no flowers grow
Good things might come to those who wait
Not for those who wait too late
We gotta go for all we know

Was used a few (?) Years ago in a comical beer advert

@Fleamaker - Ooh dear, yes, Showaddywaddy are pretty high up the uncool scale aren’t they? I think everyone else should share their first gig experiences make us feel better (or worse?!)

I only seem to post lyrics that are guessed instantly or that hang around so long I’ve practically posted the entire song by the time they’re guessed! I need to find a happy medium...

I’m guessing this will be one of the instant ones:

And I take a deep breath and I get real high

What's up. 4 Non Blondes.

My mum was a Cliff Richard fan so that was my first concert. So uncool 😄. Although went to see "Time" which he starred in and at 11/12 thought it was great 😊

Here's an 80s one:

The cold is biting
Through each and every nerve and fibre
My broken spirit is frozen to the core.

@xsquared Nik Kershaw, wouldn't it be good?

Wouldn’t it be good, Nik Kershaw.

Oh, and yes to What’s up!

@CoffeeBeansGalore - so, so far we have Manhattan Transfer, Showaddywaddy and Cliff. It’s like the Ultimate Celebration of the Uncool 😂.

Whatever would happen if we start to get into first single purchased?

@CoffeeBeansGalore
Bet Cliff Richard was good for a cheesy sing a long!

@Fleamaker123 From what I remember I think so - dim & distant past 😄

@SingingBabooshkaBadly I know 🤣🤣🤣

CoffeeBeansGalore It don't make no flowers grow is Just The Two Of Us. Bill Withers?

And mine:

I hear her voice
Calling my name
The sound is deep
In the dark

Yes to Nik Kershaw and Wouldn't it be good. @SingingBabooshkaBadly and @CoffeeBeansgalore123

@CrepuscularCritter yours is The Cure ant think which? Jumping someone else’s train?

The Cure's right, Honeyroar, but a different song. A bit more might make it easier.

I hear her voice and start to run
Into the trees.

Nobody got mine -
And with this feeling
We were willing
To take a chance

(80s)

It’s A Forest!

And just a one liner for this one...

You can rely on the old man's money

That's it Honeyroar. I'm laboriously learning the chords for it on my lockdown guitar.

@CrepuscularCritter correct 👍
