80s (or thereabouts) song lyrics thread 6

[CoffeeBeansGalore]

Hi All

Thread 6 here we go.

Post a few lines of a song from the 70s, 80s, 90s & we will try to guess the song & singer/band.

Evening. Can't seem to get any outstanding ones from today but I still don't think anyone has got this yet from a few pages back:

I keep the money
You can have the fame
Everything that's yours will soon be mine.

@NeedToKnow101

You see my old man's got a problem He live with the bottle that's the way it is He says his body's too old for working His body's too young to look like his

That one is Fast car by Tracy Chapman.

Thank you for coming home
Sorry that the chairs are all worn
I left them here I could have sworn
These are my salad days
Slowly being eaten away...

I felt someone get in behind me but I never caught their eye But I thought I heard a woman’s voice whispering goidbye

Ooo this a creepy song, I loved it back in the day! Godley & Creme Under Your Thumb

@CoffeeBeansGalore

I'm trying hard Hard to be patient Wish you'd stop this infatuation

Numerous recordings 60s onwards

Stop! In the name of love. I know it by the supremes but it was probably covered by bananarama or someone else shit

Hedley and cream, under your thumb

Godley. Fecking auto correct

Yes! (another repeat!)

Sorry, Dragonfly. I didn't see you'd got it first

Which are dirty

80s
Far to easy, which is why you only get 3 words!

Show me a smile
Don’t be unhappy
Can’t remember when I last saw you laughing

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies. Come on Eileen. Dexys

True Colours - Cyndi Lauper

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies

Ooo. I've just realized this album was released in 1971, so I can use a song from it on here. Actually, going to use 2. A gazillion points from me to anyone who recognizes

And nothing at all gets said
Talk to me please in bed
Where it matters

Or

Shall I make you in the morning a cup of homemade coffee?
I will sweaten it with honey and with cream
When you sleep, do you have dreams?

Jarvis picked the second song as one of his desert island discs, btw. Thus making him the only person I'm aware of who knows this album/artist other than me and my friend and her dad, who played the album to us at the very impressionable age of 19 or 20

I'm reposting this, just on case it got missed, but not really expecting anyone to get it. It is quite niche.

Just me and Jarvis cocker (I'm quite happy about that )

@Dragonfly3 Yes. Well done.

Bloody quick, honey. And on 3 words. Well done

I walk so tall
Ascending I stand so high
Earth below me revolving
Above the sky

80s

Sorry I meant 90s!!

And yes it was Cyndi Lauper

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies 👍😊

Is that the shaman honey??? No, I'm not sure it is

‘ The wind blows hard against this mountain side
Across the sea into my soul
It reaches into where I cannot hide
Setting my feet upon the road’

Who else covered it, coffee?
