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.

coffeebeans, try these instead:

Three from the 70s:

I would make this day last for all time
Give you a night deep in moonshine

Dance in the street, anything you like
Do it in the car

Hey shout, summertime blues
Jump up and down in my blue suede shoes

That's the one, Babooshka...soundtrack of a summer working in a dusty trench here.

There's no mistake, I smell that smell
It’s that time of year again

This one is Local boy in the photograph, by the stereophonic

babooshka
She stops for a coffee she smiles at the waiter
He winks at his friends and they laugh at her later.

Is sleeper - think it's inbetweener from humming through it

The first 70s one is called If I had words but don’t know who sang it (apart from the mice in Babe!!)

It’s a great song @CrepuscularCritter.

Well done, Quizhelper, Secretmeetings and Honeyroar.
Honeyroar, it was only when I read your post that I realised I didn’t know who sang it either! I had to google it . It was Scott Fitzgerald and Yvonne Keeley.

@Willow2017 👏 🌟 👏 😊

How about three from the 80s?

She took a moment just to recognise
The man she'd known so well before

The night is young
The mood is mellow
And there's music in my ears

Your hair's all greasy and you feel like a slob,
You're only fifteen and you can't get a job.

Is the middle one We don't have to take our clothes off?
Probably wrong again...

The middle one is called Is Viv There? by ??

Vic not Viv!

Oh the last one is on the tip of my tongue🤣

I loved that song, Is Viv There?
Can't remember who it's by? X-ray Spex

Mine too Willow!

Generation X? Definitely something with an X!

Except I think X-Ray Spex had a female singer?
I just googled it, would never have got the band.

So did I and neither would I! No X in it either!!

But the first one has come to me - it’s The Human League- Louise (as if we were still lovers!)

Still can’t get the last one. Off to bed!

Is vic there? was department s i reckon

searched for last of those three as i'd not sleep...
do remember the song but i'd definitely not have got it, so that's a relief

Imagine the formation
Of teenage legislation.
At 13 they were fooling
But at 16 they'll be ruling.

I have another lyric fail for Is Vic there - I always thought it was the moon is yellow and there’s music in the air!!

Time's standing still
Waiting for some
(A-waiting for some) small clue
(Let me tell you know)
I keep getting chills
When I think your love is true

And I’m at the stage
Where I want my words heard and no one wants to listen though
No one wants to listen cause everybody’s yelling

@Honeyroar this is furniture- brilliant mind
