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.

Guess who just got back today

Thin Lizzy The Boys are back in town.

I’ll do a different verse from the one nobody got a few pages back. I’d be amazed if some regulars/old thread people don’t know it, you’ve guessed lots of other tracks from this group..

Whisper your name in an empty room
You brush past my skin
As soft as fur
Taking hold I taste your scent

Yes Honey and I'll guess yours.. Love Cats by the Cure?

Right band wrong song.

Lullaby?

Nope, one of their earlier ones, before Lovecats. On the Standing on a Beach greatest hits.

Hanging garden?
Why can't I be you?

Reflexes got the better of me
And what is to be must be
Every day the bucket goes to the well
But one day the bottom will drop out
1970s

This is other voices by the cure.

I can't believe I missed it previously.

To be fair, my brain is scrambled atm

1980s
Opposite and opposite
Decisions are reversed
Facing one another
With words that couldn't hurt

Still outstanding from yesterday.

I just can't believe the loveliness of loving you
(I just can't believe it's true)

Originally 1969, numerous recordings through 70s including Pinky & Perky

Few more lines:
When I kissed you, girl, I knew how sweet a kiss could be
(I know how sweet a kiss can be)
Like the summer sunshine pour your sweetness over me
(Pour your sweetness over me)

That's talking loud and clear. OMD. Lovely song

1980s
I work on the front line
I work to survive
And I sleep in a fever
So this is my life

Yes Prosecco 🙂

Oh that's Sugar Sugar The Archies

Did pinky and perky do pour some sugar on me, coffee? (I know it isn't that!)

I pull my eyes out, hold my breath and wait

Only hope can keep me together
Love can mend your life but love can break your heart

70s

Message in a bottle The police

I'm adaptable and I like my new role
I'm getting better and better
And I have a new goal
I'm changing my ways where money applies

80s

I'm not expecting this one to be got, cos in earlier threads you've not been punk fans, but this isn't really punk

V quick, shiny. Well done
