80s (or thereabouts) song lyrics thread 9

[CoffeeBeansGalore]

Ok folks here we go again!

Post a few lines of lyrics with the decade & let the rest of us have a go at guessing the song & artist.
Songs from 70s, 80s 90s. 😊

Have you ever seen some people lose everything
First to go is their mind
Responsibility to me is a tragedy
I'll get a job some other time,

Hit in UK 1980s, but released previously in 1970s

Have you ever seen some people lose everything
First to go is their mind
Responsibility to me is a tragedy
I'll get a job some other time,

Lost in Music, Sister sledge

Coffee is that lost in music sister sledge?

@VictoriousSockPuppet

Jane was in her turtleneck I was much happier then

80s

That’s lovely Lloyd Cole and Brand New Friend.

And it feels so good that you and I can go together
Ooh baby, we won't find what we've been looking for
And this time I know we're gonna make it better
Our heart is a key to pump it at the door...

This time I'm not wrong...

I think I’ve got some outstanding - I’ll go back and check...

These two from earlier are still outstanding:

70s
Too bad there ain't ten of you
Then I'd show you what I'd do
I could cheat on five of you
And be faithful to you too

90s
The old hometown just looks the same
Like a derelict man who had died out of shame
Like a jumble sale left out in the rain

Yes, Lost in music, Sister Sledge. 👍😊

One of mine outstanding from a few days ago

I throw a flush
I reveal my ace
The heart's my trump
I don't need no picture face
I'm laying my cards out on the table place..

These are the heavy times...

84

Yes to lloyd cole, Babooshka.

And your second one is the pretenders, isn't it? Walk like a panther

I know I know the first one, but I can't get there.

I don't know yours Flea, sorry

Ahh you never turned around and saw the frowns
On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did their tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you

60s

Like a rolling stone, Bob Dylan.

My outstanding one from the other evening . It was very topical when I posted it ! I've added a bit more

A-what to do on a night like this
Is it sweet ? I can't resist
We need a party sound
A fun-da-mental charm
So we can ....
Rhum-bboom-boom

1980s

@VictoriousSockPuppet, yes it is Walk Like a Panther but the Pretenders version is a later cover. The original is from 1999 - I’ll wait to see if anyone else get’s it (you can have a half point 😂)

The other one is a tough one I think. I would have known I knew it but not been able to get it if someone else had posted it!

I've got 2 from yesterday outstanding. NeedToKnow got the middle one and identifed that the other two are also Prince. I've added some more:

I ain't got no money
I ain't like those other guys you hang around
It's kinda funny
But they always seem to let you down
And I get discouraged
'Cause I never see you anymore
And I need your love, babe
That's all I'm living for, yeah
I didn't want to pressure you, baby
But all I ever wanted to do
I .....

And I get discouraged
'Cause you treat me just like a child
And they say I'm so shy, yeah
But with you I just go wild
70s

Which one of us is right
If we always fight
Why can't we just let love decide (let love decide)

Am I the weaker man
Because I understand
That love must be the master plan?

If I gave you...

90s

Aargh - where did that random grocer’s apostrophe come from?

@Fleamaker123

One of mine outstanding from a few days ago

I throw a flush
I reveal my ace
The heart's my trump
I don't need no picture face
I'm laying my cards out on the table place..

That's King, Won't You Hold My Hand

Why wait any longer for the world to begin
You can have your cake and eat it too
Why wait any longer for the one you love
When he's standing in front of you
60s

The Madonna was yours for free
Yes the girl on the half-shell
Could keep you unharmed
70s

Reputations changeable
Situations tolerable
Baby, you're adorable
80s

One person connects three songs.

Bob Dylan

All I want is a room with a view
A sight worth seeing, a vision of you
All I want is a room with a view

Yes Twig! 👏 King 👑

@wannabebetter

Bob Dylan

All I want is a room with a view
A sight worth seeing, a vision of you
All I want is a room with a view

That's Blondie, Picture This.

Start your journey early or maybe later
Get your boots on
Look for rainbows
it's cloudy
Take your hairdryer
Blow them all away.
80s

I'm at the stage
Where everything I thought meant something, seems so unappealing
I'm ready for the real thing but nobody's selling none
Except you and you're saying opening up your eyes and ears, and lets me in
80s

@ThatLibraryMiss - your last one is Handle with Care, The Traveling Wilburys. Sure the first one is Bob Dylan so he’s the connection but I can’t quite get there.

80s
I spoke a million words
They didn't mean that much to me

80s
You've gotta be my wise guy, hope you call my number,
If you do then I will come right over,
You're so protective my detective

70s
She'll come, she'll go.
She'll lay belief on you
But she won't stake her life on you
