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.

I know I've felt like this before
But now I'm feeling it even more
Because it came from you

1990s

@SingingBabooshkaBadly that’s the Cranberries. Dreams. 😴 💤

Honey. I've just been searching. I don't think I know the song you put up for katherine. And I can't seem to see your other post. Can you be bothered to requote it?

I’ll do the first verse.

She’s got her head in the clouds
She’s got stars in her eyes
she’s dancing with a dream in her heart
She’s got the wind in her hair
Moon child shining bright
And she’s dancing with a dream in her heart

Honeyroar 👍🏼

I wonder if my other one will be on of my ‘hangs around sadly for days being shunned’ lyrics? Here are some extra lines:

And we were never holding back or worried that
time would come to an end
We were always hoping that, looking back
you could always rely on a friend
Now I sit with different faces
in rented rooms and foreign places
All the people I was kissing
some are here and some are missing

@Fleamaker123

I've seen all the frowns On the faces of the clowns And the downs that they take just to be free

1978

Run for home Lindisfarne Great song.

Oh, yes Willow, I’d completely forgotten that song but it is great isn’t it?

A few more lines of mine. This should give it away

Means what you think you saw, you did not see
So don't blink be what was there is now gone
Black suit with the black Ray-Bans on
Walk in shadow, move in silence
Guard against extra-terrestrial violence

@SingingBabooshkaBadly I don't know it, but it looks Petshop Boys (ish). Am I close?

That can only be Men in Black Will Smith then..

Got it Eventually,,🤣
Bet you think that was hard work 😉

@Honeyroar

Go on Idlevice, you can answer if Katherine had a go. My dog loved that track! The barking at the start..

It was Been Caught Stealing, Jane's Addiction

Btw Honeyroar, has anyone ever said your username sounds like an indie band??!

Oh, is your other one Severina by the Mission, Honeyroar? More Goth than Indie I'd say.

That tenor horn is turning me on
He's dropped down to his knees
1970s

Impressive spot given that you don’t know the song @Honeyroar!

Maybe someone else will get the song now? It’s one of their best IMO.

@idlevice - your username also sounds like an indie band!

@Willow2017 Men in Black 👍😁

Six o'clock already
I was just in the middle of a dream
1980s

The silicon chip inside her head
Gets switched to overload
1970s

@Willow2017
Well done, yes it was Lindisfarne

@CoffeeBeansGalore

Manic monday, Bangles
I dont like Mondays, Boomtown Rats

Just saw what you did there Coffee! Happy Monday everyone!

@SingingBabooshkaBadly yours is Suburbia by Pet Shop Boys. Probably my favourite of theirs too. I’d not have guessed it without Coffee getting the title though.

@idlevice yes it’s Severina! I got blasted by some “serious goths” for calling the Mission and the Cure goth music once, have never dared since!!🤣
Haha re my username sounding like an indie band. It’s actually my two late labradors Honey and Rory! It does sound a bit like a soft rock track, up there with Poison Sugar and Crazy!

I’ve been off work that long I forget what day it is!

👍 Happy Monday all 😁

Actually it's not a bad Monday. I work in school office & it is now officially the school summer holidays. True to form, it's been raining all weekend & forecast is showers all week . . .

Gosh that’s early Coffee. My friend’s school doesn’t break up for a fortnight!

Impressive spot given that you don’t know the song @Honeyroar!

Oh dear - I’d had too much wine last night - that message was for @CoffeeBeansGalore, not @Honeyroar - sorry both!

Sorry, no, not Suburbia @Honeyroar (love that one too though)

Want another go?
