Ok folks here we go again for Thread 10!!!

Post a few lines of lyrics with the decade & let the rest of us have a go at guessing the song & artist.

I need excitement, oh I need it bad

@VictoriousSockPuppet

I need excitement, oh I need it bad

70s

Undertones, Teenage Kicks.

For once, I happened along just at the right moment it seems. I’m assuming everyone else must have gone to bed...

Kiss
Crazy Nights

Just popped back and you’ve pipped me to that one Babooshka.
The other one is Crazy nights by Kiss

Ha! Pipped again because I wrote an essay!

Well done @Honeyroar. Enjoy your freedom 🥂

Welll done for Crazy Nights ✅

Radio, video
Boogie with a suitcase

70s

Just thought of another one for honey....

They let you dream just to watch 'em shatter
You're just a step on the boss-man's ladder
But you got dreams they'll never take away

Now that one makes me think of this one -

Night time is the right time, we make love
Then it's his and my time, we take off

Boss mans ladder one is 9 to 5 by Dolly

@Iggi999

Now that one makes me think of this one -

Night time is the right time, we make love
Then it's his and my time, we take off

9 to 5 by Sheena Easton

Thought I could have my cake and eat it too, but how I cried over losin' you

80's

We're building fires that will burn until morning
The smell of books and hot stone surrounds us
Tough is the leather that's strapped to my skin
Strong are the bonds that we make

On that theme 1980s

Spa day Ballet, Muscle Bound and a little further up We had M, Pop Muzik

Spandau Ballet! Though Spa Day ballet sound v v mumsnet

@Honeyroar

Just popped back and you’ve pipped me to that one Babooshka. The other one is Crazy nights by Kiss

Ah ha! The Pip-ee becomes the Pip-er!!!

@KatherineJaneway
That's working my way back to you
...by the four tops, the Detroit spinners or (if you're my age) franki v and the four seasons!

@SingingBabooshkaBadly

😂😂😂 correct @SingingBabooshkaBadly 🙌🏼

There's a lot of popping and pipping that goes on here on these threads!

Nobody got this 90s one from the other day. Wasn’t sure whether to post it as they weren’t a hits band - more cult indie, quite well known. If you know them you’ll know the song. I’ve added more lyrics.

What did you learn from your time in the solitary
Cell of your mind?
There was noises, the distractions from anything good
And the old prison food
Colour my life with the chaos of trouble
'Cause anything's better than posh isolation
I missed the bus
You were laid on your back

Time to eat all your words
Swallow your pride
Open your eyes
80's

@Fleamaker123

Time to eat all your words Swallow your pride Open your eyes 80's
