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.

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies

So I'd like to know if you got the notion

70s
(I honestly like a lot more than punk!)

Did you miss this one yesterday SingingBabooshkaBadly?

Morning all.

Fleamaker, I know I know that one. Give me a minute

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies

Can make a good man Turn bad

80s

I don't think anyone got this one? We've had this band before and they're usually guessed quite quickly.

Did it get missed or shall I add more lyrics?

I've got it, Flea. It's chicago. I had this single on vinyl.
If you leave me now

Morning! @ProseccoBubbleFantasies - that's Rock the boat.. by I can't remember who..

I know Fleamaker’s, but will leave it for Prosecco- she gets upset if pipped at the post!

It’s familiar. Is it The Smiths Prosecco? Can you add more lyrics? I can’t think of the song.

@SingingBabooshkaBadly

It was once upon a place sometimes I listen to myself Gonna come in first place People on their way to work and baby what did you except

1980s

I know this one too. That last line. Its quirky. Event garde-ish.

Burning down the house???

I know it from that album of duets that were xxxx + tom jones.
Don't know who else sang it

(Sorry you got Chicago while I typed!😃)

Added a bit...

Just bees and things and flowers

My life, my life, my life, my life in the sunshine

Didn’t want no one to hold her.
What does that mean?
She said..
(80s)

Morning honey. I did get it before you posted, but thank you for indulging this spoilt brat.

You're correct with the Smith's. Knowing that do you want to try for the song, or are you asking please, please give me more lyrics?

One liner from the 80s

The front of your dress all shadowy lined

CoffeeBeans, been wracking my brains, as those lyrics were so familiar, but it's this, isn't it?

I know this. We've got an incredible album of covers which I adore and this is on it. So no idea who the original artist is but its everybody loves the sunshine

Wow Destiny- that’s some hairstyle, isn’t it!

@Destinysdaughter Yes! Well done 👍

@Honeyroar

Please please more lyrics. I’m not good at The Smiths.

You're going to kick yourself (or me) when you twig the mahoosive clue I gave you there.

Good time for a change
See, the luck I've had
Can make a good man turn bad

So

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies - correct! The artist is the incredible Roy Ayers.. check him out!

Oh god I really am half asleep this morning!! I didn’t need more lyrics, did I!

Please please please let me get what I want.🤣😝

Yes Prosecco to Chicago

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies

This little girl inside me is retreating to her favourite place

So sorry, everybody. I put this one up for SingingbabooshkaBadly, but accidentally quoted the wrong song above. ⬆️⬆️ Loads of people got rock the boat.

This is a fairly obscure one from someone Babooshka really likes. I'd be surprised if anyone other than her got it.

Rock the Boat, can't remember the singer.

Honeyroar haha yes it is! Sadly I had a haircut very like that as a child...
