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.

Fun fact about Leave a light on. George Harrison plays guitar on it.

@xsquared Oh wow, did not know that!

@CoffeeBeansGalore

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

That's the fucking lion king. Circle of life 🤢🤢🤢🤢 DD used to love that when she was a kid. I've seen it a gazillion times.

Elton john

I might know a fact about the lion king. But it's not terribly interesting (but facts seem to be a current theme)

Are we in love or just friends?
Is this my beginning or is this the end? (Is this the end?)

Seems to have been versions released in every decade, but the most famous is definitely 70s.

Fun fact, my driving instructor used to sing this to me every fucking week.

Three Degrees

Don't think I know another version

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies The circle of life, correct 😁

I don’t think anyone got mine from yesterday

My friends would think I was a nut
Turning water into wine
Open doors would soon be shut

1970s

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies - was your driving instructor trying to tell you something???

I hope that wasn’t quite as creepy as it sounds @ProseccoBubbleFantasies
No one got this earlier so I’ve added a bit. 70s.

The mama looked down and spit on the ground
Every time my name get’s mentioned
The papa said, "oy, if I get that boy
I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention"

No, just when we were arranging the next lesson. He was generally low-key annoying. Good incentive to pass my test

Babooshka. That's paul simon from the Graceland album. Which I always found quite annoying, but people loved.

Is it.me and julio down by the school yard?

Or something else from that album?

Naughty boys in nasty schools
Headmasters breaking all the rules
Having fun and playing fools
Smashing up the woodwork tools

That's Madness - Baggy Trousers

It was on a previous thread but I couldn't remember what it was called then

Well done all, Madness Baggy Trousers 👍

You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
1970s

Easy one 1990s
If you've got troubles, I've got 'em too
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you

@coffee is the first one Elton John - Candle in the Wind?

The 1990's one - is it from Toy Story?

If you're right shiny then its you've got a friend in ne

@shinynewapple2020 @ProseccoBubbleFantasies well done both 👍

It was me who put baggy trousers up on an earlier thread. First single I ever brought

Apologies if this was posted previously but I heard it earlier!

From the sand you'll hear
The happy sound of a carousel
You can almost taste the hot dogs
And French fries they sell
1980s

Under the boardwalk.

Can't remember who did it originally, but bruce willis/moonlighting covered it in the 80s
