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 that’s Jilted John.

@Fleamaker123 I think you’re is the Spindoctors. That’s the way.

Morning all

We'll put out to sea and we'll perfect our chemistry
And by and by we'll defy a little bit of gravity
Afternoon delight, cocktails and moonlit nights
1980s

Yes Honeyroar, that's the way

Contempt in your eyes
As I turn to kiss his lips
Broken I lie
All my feelings denied
Blood on your fist

84

Ooh Fleamaker that’s Bronski Beat’s Why? I like them much more now than I did then (they just weren’t Duran Duran!). They really were ground breaking, weren’t they?

@Honeyroar yes to Bronski Beat
I agree... I loved Jimi Somerville so much, he was my teenage crush, yes I was a weird teenager

Ooo. I've just realized this album was released in 1971, so I can use a song from it on here.
Actually, going to use 2. A gazillion points from me to anyone who recognizes

And nothing at all gets said
Talk to me please in bed
Where it matters

Or

Shall I make you in the morning a cup of homemade coffee?
I will sweaten it with honey and with cream
When you sleep, do you have dreams?

Jarvis picked the second song as one of his desert island discs, btw. Thus making him the only person I'm aware of who knows this album/artist other than me and my friend and her dad, who played the album to us at the very impressionable age of 19 or 20

Jilted John by Jilted John

I feel it inside my soul
Let it get into you

She didn't know how to live in a town that was rough
It didn't take long before she knew she had enough
Walking home in her wrapped up world
She survived but she's feeling old

NeedtoKnow that’s the Stranglers, Strange Little Girl.

Cheesaholic, yours is Depeche Mode, Walking in My Shoes.

Couldn't agree when we were both free
We tried, we said we'd keep in touch

1980s

Now, I know it's right
From the moment I wake up till deep in the night
1980s

Is that I've been waiting for a girl like you, foreigner????

That might be wrong

Yes to those who got jilted john

Love that song!

@SingingBabooshkaBadly - correct!

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies correct, Foreigner 😊👍

Mine from earlier with the first verse:

Aruba, Jamaica, oh I want to take ya
Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego, baby why don't we go, Jamaica

We'll put out to sea and we'll perfect our chemistry
And by and by we'll defy a little bit of gravity
Afternoon delight, cocktails and moonlit nights
1980s

And as we sit here alone
Looking for a reason to go on
It’s so clear that all we have now
Are our thoughts of ..........

Quite a difficult 80s (...word too close to the title!)

@Honeyroar
Dreams of yesterday, Strawberry Switchblade?

@CoffeeBeansGalore
Aruba, Jamaica, oh I want to take ya
Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego, baby why don't we go, Jamaica

Way down to Cocamo... Can't remember who by!

Haha Fleamaker it clearly wasn’t difficult!🤣 yes it was Since Yesterday.

I walked the ward with you babe
A thousand miles with you
