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.

[quote CoffeeBeansGalore]@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.[/quote]
That’s lovely @CoffeeBeansGalore 😊. Radiohead and The Eels were the soundtrack to the start of our relationship - not quite such romantic listening!

I’ve missed pages - need to catch up!

Wow! I missed about four pages but wouldn’t have got any of them anyway 🙁.

@idlevice - yes to Suede.

1.Yeah, you come here, gimme a kiss
Better make it fast or else I'm gonna get pissed

1. Let's end this foolish game

Hear me out don't let me waste away Make up your mind so I know where I stand

1. Even though there may be times

It seems I'm far away Never wonder where I am 'Cause I am always by your side

1. City lights and business nights.

When you require streetcar desire for higher heights. No place for beginners or sensitive hearts When sentiment is left to chance.

1. I don't care if being with you

Is meaningless and ridiculous If it's wrong or right

@SingingBabooshkaBadly Thank you. Seems like a lifetime ago now! But '88 was a good year. Some brilliant music, dated & got engaged to the now Mr CoffeeBeans, turned 18 & passed my driving test 😁

Coffee 3 is power of love Jennifer rush**

,BlueSky 4 is Sade, Smooth Operator

@CoffeeBeansGalore @ellie1967 not quite 😉 almost

@CrepuscularCritter yes!

@Blueskysunsout It was ellie's guess but she mistakenly put it to me. I was simply passing it on. I didn't have a clue!

@CoffeeBeansGalore @ellie1967 sorry my mistake yes you ARE right. Xx

Bluesky no5 is Owen Paul My favourite waste of time.
There was a Blow Monkeys song (Diggin your scene) a page or so back, don't remember who posted it!

@Blueskysunsout

You're begging me to go Then making me stay Why do you hurt me so bad

Love is a battlefield Pat Benetar

@Iggi999 yes to both. Blow monkeys was me too!

Just no1 & 2 still to get.

3 Jennifer rush - power of love
4 Sade - smooth operator
5 own Paul - my favourite waste of time

No1 is salt n pepper - push it.

2 = Soul II Soul Back to Life?

Bloody hell! I'm PAGES behind.
Anything outstanding.

You got engaged at 18, coffee? That's so young! How lovely

@VictoriousSockPuppet

This one of mine is still outstanding.

90s:
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

Spot on @idlevice
I don’t think anyone got this one I posted earlier last night - it’s late 80s

I can feel the earth begin to move
I hear my needle hit the groove

Two of mine are unclaimed, both from the 70s, now with added lines:

Lay down your bundles of rags and reminders
And spread your wares on the ground
Well I've got time if you deal in rhyme
I'm just hanging around

If the sky above you should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together and call my name out loud
Soon you'll hear me knocking on your door

@ThatLibraryMiss - is your second one You’ve got a Friend by James Taylor/Carol King?

@SingingBabooshkaBadly, yes it is! Written by Carole King for James Taylor and a hit for both (and others).

Morning all

@VictoriousSockPuppet Thank you 😊.

This of mine still outstanding:

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

And a new easy one:

A fraction of a second and the elements were made
The bipeds stood up straight, the dinosaurs all met their fate
They tried to leap but they were late
And they all died (they froze their asses off)

And apologies, it's 00s, but sooo easy 😊
