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.

@SingingBabooshkaBadly

80's is Shalimar, night to remember, god I loved that song so much

Smoking guns hot to the touch
Would cool down if we didn't use them so much

From '84

Morning all. These are still outstanding from yesterday. Will add a few more lines 😊

Oh, my child
You'll never know
Just what you mean to me
Oh, my child
You got so much
You're gonna take away my energy
With all your xxxxxxxxxxxx
You're telling me lies, yeah
Good lovin'
Still gets in my eyes
1970s

Although I have to go
It makes me feel like crying
I don't know when I'll see you again
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I'll be there before you close the door
To give you all the love that you need
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
'Cause when the world takes me away
You are still the air that I breathe
1980s

@SingingBabooshkaBadly Mmmbop Hanson

@Fleamaker123 - yes! I love it too but had forgotten about it until recently. Now I’m going to have to listen to it!

Well done @CoffeeBeansGalore. It’s a song I thought I knew really well but now realise I don’t actually know any of the lyrics apart from the ‘do bop’ bit

@Willow2017

I draw your picture in the sand. So many little things remind me I left you behind me it's hard to understand. 1970s

Nobody got this?

@SingingBabooshkaBadly
I remember everyone at school talking about the incredible dance moves on their TOTP performance the night before..

That's Out of Touch by Darryl Hall and John Oates

Yes xsquared

@SingingBabooshkaBadly Confession time. Only knew it because I posted Mmmbop on last thread

@CoffeeBeansGalore - I don’t remember that. Must have read the lyrics you posted and just thought ‘clearly have never heard that song in my entire life’ and moved straight on!

1980s

The first one is Bee Gees and Jive Talkin

Decade breach according to the title of this thread but I have one:

Cause I'm trying to explain
Something's wrong, you just don't sound the same.

90s

@shinynewapple2020 😊👍

@xsquared We're doing 70s, 80s & 90s so you're fine 😁

@coffee is your 1980's song some kind of soft rock / rock ballad? My brain is searching for it but if I'm on wrong track I'll stop!!!

@Fleamaker123

Just when I think I'm gonna get away I hear those words that you always say

1982

I don't think anyone got this??

Its abra-abra,-cadabra (I want to reach out and grab yer)
No idea who sung. Hall and oats???? No, that's wrong

Well done @ProseccoBubbleFantasies
It was Abracadabra, Steve Miller Band

@shinynewapple2020

@CoffeeBeansGalore

Sorry just seen this. Not really rock, definitely more pop. Female singer, American. Very 80s

A bit more

I can't explain I just don't know
Just how far I have to go
But darling I'll keep the key
Just ..................

@CoffeeBeansGalore

... Leave a light on for me! Belinda Carlisle

@Fleamaker123 Yayyyy 😁

@AristotleAteMyHamster YES, well done 👍

Some of us fall by the wayside
And some of us soar to the stars
And some of us sail through our troubles
And some have to live with the scars
1990s
