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.

You're enchained by your own sorrow
In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow

Late 1970s

Chiquita, ABBA Coffeebeans?

@CoffeeBeansGalore - don’t know why I added a question mark. There’d be a bit of a fight if you said no! 😂

@CrepuscularCritter

And just a one liner for this one...

You can rely on the old man's money

Rich girl. Supertramp????

No!!!!! Hall and oats

@SingingBabooshkaBadly 😄👍

Sorry for delays in answering, I'm baking as well as MNetting 😁

so, so far we have Manhattan Transfer, Showaddywaddy and Cliff. It’s like the Ultimate Celebration of the Uncool 😂.
Man Tran are Not uncool! I have very eclectic tastes and love them. Saw them live in the 80s, what a night😄 (Alan Paul doing 'Turn me loose'.... oh my!😉)

My first proper gig was i think Status Quo 'End of the road tour' 😄 (thankfully they changed thier minds and have seen them several times since its just such a great night out.)

Everybody here is out of sight
They don't bark and they don't bite
They keep things loose, they keep things light

Numerous recordings through 70s, 80s 90s. Brilliant boppy happy song 😊

So, I’m not as uncool as I thought? Excellent!

My second gig was Hot Gossip. I suspect they are not just uncool but highly inappropriate given how young I was. I can blame the same uncle for that one.

Adding a bit more to mine.

And with that feeling
We were willing
To take a chance
So against all odds
We made a start
This wouldn’t turn to dust
We got serious
We built it up and build it up

@Honeyroar
Ashford and Simpson, Solid?

Yes Fleamaker!

The road behind was rocky
But now you’re feeling cocky
You look at me and you see your past
Is that the reason that you’re running so fast?

Dancing in the moonlight

Honey. Is it break my stride? Not sure that's right

My first gig was paul young

I can't remember what was my first gig, it would have been at The Odeon, New Street , Birmingham . I remember seeing OMD and Culture Club around 1983, but can't remember which was first and whether there was anything previous.

My love is stronger than the universe.
My soul is cryin' for you,
And that can not be reversed.
You made the rules and you could not see;
You made a life out of hurtin' me.

Isn't this Dancing in the Moonlight by Toploader? Around 2001?

That's right, Prosecco Hall and Oats.

And the next one:

Chapter One: We didn't really get along

Chapter Two: I think I fell in love with you

Is Heartbreaker Dionne Warwick?

Sorry Prosecco I see you'd already for this, was having a quick flick through to see what was outstanding and I didn't spot your answer.
