That's the amazing Gary Moore, Out in the fields

I don’t think anyone’s got these two yet so I’ve added a little more to each:

80s:

Now it's colder every day
But she's still dreaming through the summer
And she's hoping through the spring
She says she's got no time for winter nights
She doesn't notice as the days grow colder

90s
What's with these homies, dissing my girl?
Why do they gotta front?
What did we ever do to these guys
That made them so violent?
Woo-hoo, but you know I'm yours
Woo-hoo, and I know you're mine

xsquared · 18/07/2020 22:25

90s one is Buddy Holly by Weezer @SingingBabooshkaBadly

Honeyroar · 18/07/2020 22:35

@Fleamaker123 it is!✅

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 18/07/2020 22:52

@xsquared - that’s it! I thought the woo-hoos would help!

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 18/07/2020 22:56

When I'm out walking
I strut my stuff
And I'm so strung out

80s

@Honeyroar

Probably!

One from the early 90s

You know that I’ve been drunk a thousand times
And these should be the best years of my life

This is The Size of a Cow by the lovely Wonder Stuff.
Iggi999 · 18/07/2020 23:18

Did anyone guess your Climie Fisher one Honey? Rise to the Occasion, I think.

Honeyroar · 18/07/2020 23:21

It was! I’d forgotten I’d even posted that! It’s been a funny week and I’ve not been on here as much.

Honeyroar · 18/07/2020 23:24

And yes it’s Size of a cow. Well done Iggi!

Hey lady, you, lady, cursin' at your life
You're a discontented mother and a rich inventive wife
I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do
But I wish someone had a talked to me like I wanna talk to you

DJ Soul was on a roll
I been told he can't be sold
Not vicious or malicious
Just de-lovely and delicious

Blister in the Sun, Violet Femmes? So many quotable lyrics in that track!
Honeyroar · 19/07/2020 12:08

(90s)

It’s a night for passion
But the morning means goodbye
Beware of what is flashing in her eyes
She’s going to get you

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 19/07/2020 12:12

All that she wants.
Can't remember who sang it. Roxette???? I think that's wrong

Honeyroar · 19/07/2020 12:13

✅ it was Ace of Base

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 19/07/2020 12:17

It's so sad
When you're young
To be told

That's why I sometimes stand alone at parties
That's why I drink - so I'll be who they think I am
