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.

I can do two of the song’s, just not the artist. One is From LA to New York, one is New York New York (Sinatra?). Can’t get the Voices one! Might need a team effort.

Second song 1990s

Voices on a cell phone
Voices from home
Voices of the hard sell
Voices down a stairwell
In xxxxx xxxxx
Just got a place in xxxx xxxx

Does the Voices one go “concrete jungle where dreams are made true” or something? Just called New York. Female singer.

Yes @Honeyroar the first one is New York to LA Patsy Gallant

I've added more lyrics to the middle one

The third one has got New York New York in the title but it's not the Frank Sinatra song . I'll add some more lyrics

@Honeyroar

No @Honeyroar that's Alicia Keyes you are thinking of. I wanted to use that one as more well known but it's 2000's

My phones about to die.

Sorry I’ve guessed all wrong!

• Folks say I'm tripping and I'm losing my mind Walking in circles and I'm talking in rhymes I can't help it 'cause it happens each time when you're near*

Is Michelle Gayle - Sweetness.

That's Alicia Keys and Jay-Z.. don't know if it's the right song though.

Oops - Cross-posted.

On the same theme...

Crazy lady, livin' in a bag
Eatin' outta garbage pails, used to be a fag hag
Said she'll dance the tango, skip the light fandango
A Zircon princess seemed to lost her senses
1980s

@SimplySteveRedux, Correct 👍

Neverending Story says DP. ?

He made a movie
He played the driver of a big yellow car

@SimplySteveRedux Correct, Neverending story 😊👍

Just noticed @xsquared got the Andrew Gold lyrics I put up late last night.

katherine Wide Boy by Nik Kershaw

It's the wheel of fortune
It's the leap of faith
It's the band of hope
'Til we find our place
1990s

Don't be afraid, don't turn and walk away
I wanna get to know ya, well
Don't be ashamed, don't say that love's to blame
Just come and look me over
1980s

Yeah, he caught my eye
Yes, oh my, oh my
And when he walked me home
1970s

@CoffeeBeansGalore

Song number 3 is Da Do Run Run (spell?). I think it was a hit in the 1960's for one of the Phil Spector groups .

Don't know who did it in the 1970s although I vaguely remember it .

90s
You don't have to have the solution
You've got to understand the problem

80s
Wish I had my radio
I’d tune in to some friendly voices

70s
It’s so nice to be insane
No one asks you to explain

@SingingBabooshkaBadly

Your 1970s one is Helen Reddy Angie Baby

• It's the wheel of fortune It's the leap of faith It's the band of hope 'Til we find our place*

Elton - Circle of Life (fab song )

@Bluesheep8

katherine Wide Boy by Nik Kershaw

Right! I do love that song

@shinynewapple2020, Correct, Da doo ron ron. It was The Searchers in the 60s, the 74 version was The Crystals. 👍

@SimplySteveRedux Correct, Circle of life 👍

I put this up a couple of days back but nobody got it. I think it was probably missed

1980s

I'm going crazy just to let you know
If I wait too long for you I might explode
Oh baby
I've been around the block enough to know
