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.

Correct to everyone who got 'You don't own me.' I was thinking of the Dusty Springfield version. Tbh I just heard it in Mrs America; didn't know who sang it either.

Is that Owen Paul Coffee ?
I've guessed him a couple of times, I sound like his no.1 fan!

@Iggi999 Yes! You're my favourite waste of time. Well done 😄

Could it be a picture in my mind?
Never sure exactly what I'll find
Only in my dreams I turn you on
Here for just a moment then you're gone

I know a girl from a lonely street
Cold as ice cream but still as sweet

That’s Blondie, Sunday Girl @NeedToKnow101.

Correct @SingingBabooshkaBadly

A nice easy one to ease us into Sunday (blimey I sound like Alan Partridge )

@Blueskysunsout

Could it be a picture in my mind? Never sure exactly what I'll find Only in my dreams I turn you on Here for just a moment then you're gone

That's Illusion by Imagination

I felt sure we had enough
But our love went overboard

80s

@NeedToKnow101 😂. I said something on one of these threads and only realised after I sounded like Smashy and Nicey from the Harry Enfield show.

I’ve just realised the issue with that song no one else seems to know. I think it’s that actually no one else does know it! I thought it was a one hit wonder and was going to say so as a clue but thought I’d better check that in case they’d had another hit I’d forgotten about. Looks like they were actually a no hit wonder! I know the song really well and just assumed others would too. It’s Last Good Day of the Year by Cousteau and is a lovely Scott Walker-esque song.

But totally unknown. Apparently. Apologies for the constant bombardment of lyrics!

I promise I'll look it up, Babooshka, but yeah.... I don't think I know it.
It didn't matter how much of the song you put up, it never rang any bells for me.

But I will make it my mission to look it up today

Lessons In Love - Level 42

Well done @KatherineJaneway!

Morning all 🤗

Though I've tried before to tell her
Of the feelings I have for her in my heart
Every time that I come near her I just lose my nerve
As I've done from the start
1980s

@ Coffee That's The Police, Every Little Thing She Does.

@TwigTheWonderKid - that was on the tip of my tongue!

😂😂😘

I go crazy wondering what there is to really see
Did the night just take up your time, 'cause it means more to me

@TwigTheWonderKid yes, well done 👍

I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick on the cigarettes there in the ashtray
Lyin' cold the way you left 'em, but at least your lips caressed them while
You packed
1980s

NeedToKnow That's Hall and Oates, Kiss On My List

I dont seem to be very good at picking things someone knows. So let's give this a try:

Working for a rise, better my station

Take my baby to sophistication

She's seen the ads, she thinks it's nice

Better work hard, I seen the price.

1981

Baby, I got sick this mornin'
A sea was stormin' inside of me
Baby, I think I'm capsizin'
The waves are risin' and risin'
1980s

Okay you lovely lot, we seem to be whizzing through the pages at a rate of knots. I know we still have 5 pages to run, but it will go fast 😁.
So whilst I have 5 minutes I have created 80s (or thereabouts) song lyrics thread 8 so it's ready to go.
I have @'d all, I think. Obviously if I have missed anyone please tag them.
Thank you. 😊
