80s (or thereabouts) song lyrics thread 8

[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.

In my defence I was very young and daft 😁

Understandable, Sock Right to Aztec Camera. So with them and Orange Juice, that should give the connection.

And a hint for number 4 would be to think of "I know they say love is blind" in falsetto.

And yes, Iggi to Hue and Cry. So that's three bands from....?

Spill the tea, Twig. How come you met him?
Was he 2' tall? They usually are

I'm assuming he was chemically challenged, Twig.

But there were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes
80s

Oh bugger so many I actually knew yet again!
Must check more regularly in future😉

I thought you were telling us the gossip there, twig 🤣

@CrepuscularCritter

And yes, Iggi to Hue and Cry. So that's three bands from....?

Oh, me me! I know H&C are Scottish, so are they all Scottish?

Twig...that's somewhere from my ex's record collection...big deep voice?

I can't think of your theme, twig??? They're all very 80s.

He wasn't very tall (maybe that explains his choice of very tiny women) Bizarrely, it was at one of Peaches' ( I think, or possibly Pixie's birthday parties) 30 kids in a church hall, Paula at one end, Bob and Jean Marine at the other and Michael sitting next to me in my office above, making phone calls. Very strange.

Ooo. Iggi. Aztec camera are Scottish. And I think orange juice might be too

Mind you, so are lots of other bands. Simple minds? Big country?

Iggi has it: Scotland. And the singer from number 4 has a Scottish place name as his last name, and I think at least some of the band are Scots.

Sorry, mine have no theme, thay're totally random. I've just got back from almost a week at my MiL's and that, combined with the best part of a bottle of wine means I can't manage themes.

Critter, deep gravelly voice, bit miserable...

Sorry, I was watching Married at first sight Australia- absolute crap, but it’s been a fun thread on here!

JT was very tall, very slim. Wore shorts and a baseball cap back to front (like a 12 yr old!). Slept nearly all the way to LA, where he lives. Barely spoke but was polite. Complained he was cold so I threw another blanket over him, that’s as close as I got! I remember chuckling that nobody would fancy him now! He had no charisma. Not gone down as one of my most memorable celebs!

Mrs Sock I hope you weren’t joining the club on one of my flights! 😃

Sock Be careful...you might inspire part 2...

Twig Laughing Len! I should have known.

Twig I’d much rather have met Michael Hutchence. As we’ve discussed on a previous thread I think he was sex on a stick. They did a free concert in Paris when I was an au pair there, in a huge city square. My friend and I managed to push our way to the front row. He was gorgeous!

Well done Critter! Do you know what the song is though?

Not a clue sadly, Twig. I just sang Famous Blue Raincoat, Suzanne and First We Take Manhatten...but it's none of the above.

Honey, tell us about your memorable celebs.
Go on, they can't sack you now! (every cloud....)
(Hope your ok enough for me to have said that)
(Hugs n love 💗)

And only if you were on a flight from Switzerland in 1989

And Honeyroar the lack of charisma is the real killer, isn't it? Disappointment on legs.

Someone on thread no 1 had met green from scritti politti.
