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. 😊

@Tartyflette, your first one is Delta Dawn by Helen Reddy.

@SingingBabooshkaBadly is your “you need her and she needs you” Wang Chang’s Dance Hall Days?

And the “Coat of many colours” is Simple Minds - Lovesong (and I love that song!).

@Honeyroar - well done on both - double bonus points! 🌟🌟

Wow, I never get yours!😊

I hadn’t noticed that Honey 🤔

Come back Pantry. Is it the mighty wah? That might be wrong

I shut my eyes and I fantasize
That you're here with me.

80s

I want to go to paris with you
Just to see what the french boys do

70s, apparently. I'd have sworn 80s, but hey

Hear my story, hear my words,
they might speak truth about this world
Hear me opening my heart,
I've seen the years passing by
Seen them wither before they die
Only to be born again
Close your eyes, descend with me
Into the dream that we believe
That's the best we've ever had
Let your mind go with the flow
Let it fly high and low
Throw your self into the memories
Higher, reach higher
Where all our fantasies will come true

90s, late 90s.

We're going to dance
We're going to dance
We're going to dance and have some fun

90s

80s

@VictoriousSockPuppet

90s

Deelite - Groove is in the heart?

Yes.

Is the “we’re going to dance” one Groove is in the heart? Delight or someone?

@VictoriousSockPuppet

We're going to dance We're going to dance We're going to dance and have some fun

90s

Groove Is In The Heart! Timeless classic :) (Dee-lite)

Yes needtoknow and honey.

Blimey, you lot are quick tonight!

@VictoriousSockPuppet

narrows eyes how late, steve????

1999 and a half (in the States, later here...).

@SimplySteveRedux and @Honeyroar
I think you'll find I got there first (for once).

Gah! And I’d just spotted the Paul Young one too late as well!

Still one of mine to get.

While you ponder, let me think of something devilishly difficult...

@SimplySteveRedux

Rain clouds come to play again Has no one told you she's not breathing?

Written in 1992, released as a b-side in 1995, when nobody really knew the band. Then global success upon inclusion on a certain album, in cough 2002. I've seen this band live, perhaps the best concert ever.

I thought someone would've gotten this quickly, I'll add more lyrics tomorrow if nobody gets it, but the bloody song name is embedded in most of them!

Rode fiery horses through the snow
Snow covered hills snow covered miles
Miles and miles of traveling to go
And they were wild and free
Happy as could be in America
They were wild and free
Everything to see in America, in America

1990
Got a feeling @SimplySteveRedux might know this.

Your mama was in search of love
But all she got was used

80s
