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.

Can't believe we've not done this artist before, but I don't think we have...

Hey shell, you know it's kind of funny
Texas always seemed so big
But you know you're in the largest state of the union

80s

Unemployment's rising in the chigley end of town
And it's spreading like pneumonia
Doesn't look like going down

80s, I think

@VictoriousSockPuppet

And that sweet city woman She moves through the light Controlling my mind and my soul

70s

Ooooo. I wouldn't get this from those lyrics, but it's a v well known song

Night Fever Bee Gees

You make me feel like dirt and I'm hurt.

70s

❤❤❤❤❤❤

Yes, willow. You're up late!

Always am😄

You make me feel like dirt and I'm hurt
Ever fallen in love

My phone just blinked out!
The Buzzcocks!!!!

And if anyone gets monstrosity, they automatically forfeit all points gained thus far....

And if you don't intend 2 [sic] see it through
Why did we ever start?
Oh, I want to hear you tell me
You don't want my love

80s

Victorious calling willow. You are correct!

@VictoriousSockPuppet

That doesn't sound like any storyline from Trumpton that I remember . . . 😄
I do remember the firemen "Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble & Grub" 🚒

@CoffeeBeansGalore 😂😂😂

Correct Honeyroar 👍

It isn't, coffee

They're not a terribly well-known band, but I've put up lyrics from a different song on an earlier thread and I think they did get got.

How exciting to have a new thread. Thank you.
I'll pop over to check it out.

I'm busy today, but if they don't all get got, I'll copy over any outstanding ones tomorrow

Yes katherine

It isn't, coffee

I know, I know! Just tickled me bringing back memories of Trumpton & Camberwick Green 😁

This is for you Coffee...I now have it as an earworm..

Time passes slowly when you're the driver of a train
Riding on the footplate there and back again

😂

Sorry, thought I was sharing the pic of the Trumpton firemen, not the link! Do you Fireman McGrew was a bit posh with his extra long name or perhaps a bit pedantic?
