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.

Isnt it madonna? Borderline

Yes it’s Borderline. 👍

Honeyroar, your latest is Where the Wild Roses Grow by Nick Cave & Kylie. Stunning track.

Sorry idlevice, it’s not. It was Madonna!

Aaagh, sorry I meant Babooshka's!

Oh yes, I hadn’t noticed that she’d posted lyrics too. Yes I’d guess it was that too!😁

They took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machine on new technology
1970s

Arrrgh...I missed you all! And the delights of 5705, which is clearly destined to be my latest earworm. So here's one more to ponder.

I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert
But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime

Plus this one that's just dropped into my head:

You go out at night eatin' cars
You eat Cadillacs, Lincolns too
Mercuries and Subaru

Video killed the radio star by Buggles!

@CrepuscularCritter that’s Blondie’s Rapture

And I think the other one is Big Country?

The wonder of it all was you
And underneath it all it wasn’t true

That's a double yes, Honeyroar. Nice work!

And yours is Deacon Blue.

They’re about the only ones I’ve known all day. Came along like buses!!

Just trying to think what it's called... is it When will you make my phone ring?

It is Deacon Blue. When will you (make my phone ring)?

When you gonna fall in love
There’s nothing you can do about it
When you gonna fall in love
Don’t you beat around the bush

@Honeyroar Buggles 😊👍

@Honeyroar When you gonna fall in love
There’s nothing you can do about it
When you gonna fall in love
Don’t you beat around the bush

Mai Tai, History

@Fleamaker123 yes it is!

When you take me
By the hand
Tell me I'm your loving man
When you give me
All your love
And do it the very best you can

70's

Dammit. I know that one, Flea, but can't reach it atm.

The one I put up a couple of times was Car 6-7 by driver 67

Try this one instead...

I don't want to two-time you
So it's the end for you and me

70s

I would tell you about the things they put me through
The pain I've been subjected to
But the Lord himself would blush
The countless feasts laid at my feet
Forbidden fruits for me to eat
But I think your pulse would start to rush
