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. 😊

NeedToKnow101

Instinctively you give to me
The love that I need
I cherish the moments with you
Respectfully I say to thee
I'm aware that you're cheating
When no one makes me feel like you do

That's Diana Ross, upside down

One of mine outstanding...

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
'93

And another no one guessed...

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...

'82

That's Diana Ross, upside down - Fleamaker, you are quite right.

@VictoriousSockPuppet
Why pamper life's complexity

The Smiths - This Charming Man

Here's one I posited yesterday that hasn't been answered
Eighties
Down by the docks the talking turned:
"As some are striving to survive,
the others thrive"

Another eighties one

Spinning on that dizzy edge
Kissed her face and kissed her head
Dreamed of all the different ways, I had to make her glow

Well done on Iggy, @VictoriousSockPuppet!

Yes, all (Ellie, Flea, Needtoknow, Pantry). Well done. Just these two to get. Amusingly, one is hideously naff and the other is glorious.
Do you need more lyrics?

Music is the key to set me free
To the beat (on the street) I'm jumping
Forgetting all the things they said 'bout me

80s

I lost my friends, I dance alone
It's six o'clock, I want to go home
But it's "no way, " "not today"
Makes you wonder what it meant
And this hollow feeling grows and grows and grows and grows
And you want to call your mother
And say "mother, I can never come home again
'Cause I seem to have left an important part of my brain somewhere
Somewhere in a field in Hampshire, all right"

90s

@AJumpedUpPantryBoy

Another eighties one

Spinning on that dizzy edge
Kissed her face and kissed her head
Dreamed of all the different ways, I had to make her glow

That's the cure, isn't it???

sorry - it took me a while to sing my way to the title. Just like heaven

I don't think i know the other outstanding 3.

He's too busy hitting the vaseline

70s

But don't let my show convince you
That I've been happy since you
'Cause I had to go (why did you go), oh I need you so (I need you so)

Originally 60s, but covered in 1980 - very different sound. Bonus point for both artists.

Tears of a Clown - Smokey Robinson
Not sure who did the 80s version tho

@VictoriousSockPuppet

He's too busy hitting the vaseline

70s

Wow Kate Bush.

@VictoriousSockPuppet - hello! Your last one is Kate Bush, Wow.

80s Tears of a Clown was the Beat.

@VictoriousSockPuppet
Music is the key one is Hot Water by Level 42 🤣

Accroche-toi one is Hold on tight to your dreams - ELO

You’re dressed to kill one is Dance Away by Roxy Music

(And yes New order was right but it’s called Blue Monday)

Can’t believe I look at this thread for the first time all day and there’s a Kate Bush one just sitting there and Willow gets in seconds before me 🙄🙄🙄

@Willow2017 Correct with Shania 👍😊

@xsquared 2nd one @VictoriousSockPuppet got - it was Britney Spears 😊

@VictoriousSockPuppet - just noticed Pulp, Sorted for Es and Whizz a bit further up the thread.

@SingingBabooshkaBadly

Can’t believe I look at this thread for the first time all day and there’s a Kate Bush one just sitting there and Willow gets in seconds before me 🙄🙄🙄

Sorry! That's 2 of Kate's I got today yeah😄

@VictoriousSockPuppet

I've been AWOL as well. Hello all x x x

Coffee, the second ont is the lovely brittany spears - hit me baby

I thought you’d flounced off because I only gave you half a point for something! .

I’m sure a few of mine are unclaimed. I’ll check back and repost.

I'll sing and dance for you all night
Sequins and pearls
And lots of pretty girls
Give me rhythm..
'82

@SingingBabooshkaBadly - I posted one by the Beat earlier (yesterday?) and no-one got it.

@Willow2017
Sorry!
That's 2 of Kate's I got today yeah

But I couldn’t get the other because I’d posted it

I didn’t realise anyone had got Hammer Horror - turns out I’d somehow skipped a whole page. 🤦‍♀️

These are my ones that no one has got yet:

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

80s
And in her mouth, an amethyst
And in her eyes, two sapphires blue

80s
In coats of many colour
Reptile man drop
