80s (or thereabouts) song lyrics thread 7

[CoffeeBeansGalore]

Ok folks here we go again!

Post a few lines of lyrics & let the rest of us have a go at guessing the song & artist.
Songs from 70s, 80s 90s.

@ThatLibraryMiss - sorry, just spotted you got Poison Ivy first!

A couple from the 90s

Got too much time to kill
Get into bands and gangs

Take a left down echo park, a kid asks do I want some crack
T.V. sets are spewing Baywatch through the windows into black

Yes to those that got Take That 😊

I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it's too late
70s

@NeedToKnow101, Jack & Diane. Love the tune. Wayne Sleep & Bonnie Langford did a dance to it, that was the first time I heard it.

Three from the 80s

I'm the child that never learns to read
'Cause no-one spared the time

I can't do everything but I'd do anything for you
I can't do anything except be in love with you

No she does not really see me
'Cause she sees her own reflection

@Willow2017 Paranoid by Black Sabbath

A bit more of my outstanding one:
It's not love, I'm a running from
It's the heartbreak I know will come
'Cause I know you're no good for me,
but you've become a part of me
Ev'rywhere I go, your face I see, ev'ry step I take,
you take with me yeah

@SingingBabooshkaBadly -

I'm the child that never learns to read
'Cause no-one spared the time
1 in 10 by UB40

@SingingBabooshkaBadly. The middle one is Romeo & Juliet, Dire Straits. Love, love it!

@SingingBabooshkaBadly

No she does not really see me
'Cause she sees her own reflection

That's Tom's Diner by Suzanne Vega.

Yes, well done @CoffeeBeansGalore, @ThatLibraryMiss and @NeedToKnow101 😊

@CoffeeBeansGalore - Romeo and Juliet is one of those songs I just didn’t appreciate at the time but I love it now.

@SingingBabooshkaBadly I only came across it when my husband played a Dire Straits album (cassette 🤣) in the car when we first started dating in 1988. Fell in love with him and the song at the same time.

I love Dire Straits. My dad loved them and I was brought up on it!

@NeedToKnow101

But how many corners do I have to turn? How many times do I have to learn

90s

Has this been guessed? I think it's Lucky Man by Ocean Colour Scene

@Iggi999 - it is Lucky Man, but it's not by Ocean Colour Scene!

Lucky man is by The Verve

So it is! What did OCS sing then?

Yes to Pretty In Pink Babooshka. And the "child that never learned to read" is UB40 One In Ten.

Ok, I am now seriously back in the 80s. Here you go

If you wanna leave, baby
I won't beg you to stay
And if you gotta go darling
Maybe it's better that way

And Iggi OCS was The Day We Caught The Train.

OCS did The Day We Caught The Train.

@CoffeeBeansGalore

That's don't turn around , Aswad
