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.

@Destinysdaughter - yes! 🙌🏽

You really know me, that's all I need to know
Maybe I'm an open book because I know you're mine
But you won't need to read between the lines
1980s

Coffee that's a Bond theme isn't it? But I don't know which one!

@Honeyroar

So buy me beer and whiskey cos I’m going far away. (80s, I think!)

That’s the Pogues Honey. Can’t remember the title. It’s the one about them greatest little boozer’ but I don’t think that’s the title.

Oh, - just sang it in my head it’s Sally Mac something isn’t it? Macenelley?

Yes well done! Something like that! I can’t remember how it’s spelt.😊

Sally MacLennane!

My father when I was young
Took me up onto the hill
That looked down on the city smog
Above the factory spill

(90s)

(Bit more of mine from earlier)

Now she's gone and I have to say
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way

The city lights are often blurred
By stories we've already heard.
Booze and drugs now break my head
Cause all the shining stars are dead.

1970s

@Fleamaker123 that’s Rosanna by Toto. Love that!

Yes Honeyroar, it's a great song isn't it!

I had to look up your Smiths one last night Honeyroar - it was keeping me awake! And I absolutely love them so should have known Aside from anything else there's no doubt Morrissey writes superb lyrics.

Sailin' away on the crest of a wave
It's like magic

That’s ELO but not sure which. It goes “you and your sweet desires”

Correct Honeyroar... I think some of the ELO songs morph into each other a bit, like Abba where you start off singing one, and end up with something else

@Fleamaker123

Sailin' away on the crest of a wave It's like magic

It's a living thing.

The Levellers - there's only one way of life (that might not be the actual title!)

Like a knight in shining armour, from a long time ago.
