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. 😊

Ahh think I recognise some of those lines now. Is it a solo male?

(sorry that was re Twig’s)

@Honeyroar, NeedtoKnow's already established who it is. I'll leave it up to you to decide if you want to scroll back and find out who... But she's stumped on which song.

@Twig it’s Diamonds and Pearls.

Finally! Well done Honey.

@TwigTheWonderKid - Phew! I'm so glad someone's got it! I finally got it (by cheating ), so obviously I couldn't post it

Hello one and all
Was it you I used to know
Can't you hear me call
On this old ham radio

1973

Money doesn't grow on trees
But babies come from ladies

Oh say it's not true
The things they said we do
And how could I explain
The pleasure in the pain
They're calling us insane
Oh the knives, the blood, the bad, the good
D'ya think you could, do you?

1989

Money doesn't grow on trees But babies come from ladies

This is 1980s

You might not ever get rich
But let me tell you it's better than digging a ditch
There ain't no telling who you might meet
A moviestar or maybe even an Indian chief
1970s

I saw her today, I saw her face, it was a face I loved, and I knew
I had to run away, and get down on my knees and pray
70's

Twig one of yours is Carwash by Rolls Royce.

Fleamsker is that needles and pins unit 4 plus 2

Flea that's Needles & Pins but i don't know the name of the band.

Well done Honey!

Searching for a destiny that's mine
There's another place another time
Touching many hearts along the way
Hoping that I'll never have to say...
80s

Correct Twig and ellie1967✅
Needles and pins by Smokie

Searching for a destiny that's mine
There's another place another time
Touching many hearts along the way
Hoping that I'll never have to say...

... it's just a just an illusion! Imagination
I loved that song.. Off to have a listen!

Oh I missed these. Would have got at least two!!!

Anyway adding a line on mine..

One for you and one for me
Money doesn't grow on trees
But babies come from ladies

80s

Well done Flea!

@Fleamaker123 well done 👍😊

It's too late now, it's twenty past two
I spent the night just watchin' you
I watched you dance
I watched you move
Can't breath and still I watched you move away

80s

Strange days indeed -- most peculiar, mama
Everybody's smoking and no one's getting high
Everybody's flying and never touch the sky
70/80's

Loving somebody ain't your average 9 to 5
It takes conviction it takes a will to survive
I'm not somebody who commits the crime
And leaves the scene
