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.

Fires burn. Heart beats strong.
Sing out loud. The chain gang song.
Never stop the action.
Keep it up.

I rented my apartment
On a Monday at one
A-singin' do lolly, lolly
Shicky bum, shicky bum
1970s

It is the Shamen @ProseccoBubbleFantasies. Move any mountain.

Kirilie or something? No idea who sang it. A duo? Men? Naff

Honey, that's grace jones. NOT pull up to the bumper. The other big hit she had

I hear your voice, it comforts me
In morning dreams I take your hand
You walk with me

1970s

My eyes are so cloudy I cant see you

Easy 80s

That’s Telephone Man! Can’t remember the singer’s name.

I remember everyone at school singing this and sniggering because it was so risqué (or should I say smutty!) 😂

Easy 80s

Is it the Telephone song (do lolly lolly)?

Yes it’s Grace Jones Slave to the rhythm.

My eyes so cloudy is Duran Duran. Rio?

Oh yes Babooshka, of course Planet Earth!

@SingingBabooshkaBadly Correct! Telephone Man, Meri Wilson

Close honey, but Babooshka got it spot on

In the all night café at a quarter past eleven
Same old man sitting there on his own

1970s

@Honeyroar Apologies, you guessed Telephone man as well 👍

Oh my God we're back again
Brothers and sisters everybody sing

Shit from the late 90s

Is that streets of london, Babooshka? No idea who sang it

I thought it was earlier than 70s though

I sit alone now wondering about you
I'm living my life, what do you do?
You say you want me but need success
I want your love boy, want nothing less

No more timing
Each tear that falls from my eyes
I'm not hiding
The remedy to cure this old heart of mine
1980s

I'll see you stranded
You took me for a fool

80s

Sign of the times, needtoknow

Don't know who sang it. Female vocalist

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies

Sounds like it would have been doesn’t it @ProseccoBubbleFantasies? I checked before I posted and it was on an album in 1969 but apparently wasn’t released as a single until 1974. It was Ralf McTell.
