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.

Another from the 80s:

"Ships at night give such delight
We all leave before the morning light"

@CoffeeBeansGalore

Summer, Buddy Holly, the working folly Good golly, Miss Molly and boats Hammersmith Palais, the Bolshoi Ballet Jump back in the alley and nanny goats 1970s

Reasons to be cheerful part 3 Ian Duty & the blockheads

On the theme of leaving before morning:

Promises made in the heat of the night
Creeping home before it got too light

70s

@Willow2017 😊👍

Thank you @SingingBabooshkaBadly. Unfortunately still clueless 😄

I am not in love
But I'm open to persuasion
East or West
Where's the best
For romancing
1970s

@xsquared @Willow2017 Yes, well done both 🏆

Oh, the night is my world
City light painted girl
In the day nothing matters
It's the night time that flatters
1980s

Laura Branigan, Self Control

@CoffeeBeansGalore

Thank you *@SingingBabooshkaBadly*. Unfortunately still clueless 😄

Ok - I’ve added a bit more 😊

Flashback to springtime, saw him again
Would've been good to go for lunch
Couldn't agree when we were both free
We tried, we said we'd keep in touch
Didn't, of course, 'til summertime
Out to the beach to his boat could I join him?
No, this time it was me
Sunburn in the third degree

@Fleamaker123 yes, 😊👍

Alone in a crowd on a bus after working, I'm dreaming
The guy next to me has a girl in his arms, my arms are empty
How does it feel when the girl next to you says she loves you?
Seems so unfair when there's love everywhere but there's none for me
1980s

No one got this from a while back...

I used to have demons
In my room at night

Original from '86 then covered in 90's

Found you!

Hello @Iggi999! Welcome back onboard 👋

Is this song 'Some guys have all the luck'?

“Ships at night give such delight is The Thompson Twins. Dr Dr.

Nobody got this one -
Come around at Christmas
I really have to see you
You smile at me slyly
Another festive compromise

@shinynewapple2020 yes, some guys 😊👍

You've been around for such a long time now
Oh, Maybe I could leave you but I don't know how
And why should I be lonely ev'ry night
When I can be with you
1980s

Tracey ullman covered it. They don't know about us /they've never heard of love.

Did marivwilson cover it too?

Don't know original singer

A bit more of mine...

I used to have demons in my room at night
Desire, despair, desire
So many monsters

From '86 but the cover in the 90's was a bigger hit. Love the original though.

CoffeeBeans and Prosecco, the writer and original singer was Kirstie MacColl.
