80s (or thereabouts) song lyrics thread 10

[CoffeeBeansGalore]

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.
Songs from 70s, 80s 90s.

Lyrics seem to be getting a bit thin on the ground so here are a load from the 70s. Will try to post more later.

I've stood some ghostly moments
With natives in the hills
Recorded here on paper
My chills and thrills and spills

You're a child of sweet sixteen
Never made the big town scene

I give a wrong time, stop a traffic line.
Your future dream is a shopping scheme.

She's been a bad girl, she's like a chemical
Though you try to stop it, she's like a narcotic

But if I had my way
Sundown instead of going downtown
We'll stay at home and get down

Daily, except for Sunday
You dawdle in to the cafe where you meet her each day

I see you've sent my letters back
And my L.P. records and they're all scratched

I see you've sent my letters back
And my L.P. records and they're all scratched

The Police - Can't Stand Losing You

Now some from the 80s

Did you care, was I right?
Only once did you try
Even then it was hard enough
Just for you to realize or believe there was only one
Strong enough or hard enough to give you away

She asked me to stay and I stole her room
She asked for my love and I gave her a dangerous mind

Who would be the fool to maybe trick a kiss in time?
Who am I to say that's crazy?
Love will make you blind

My heart started pumpin', blood pressure jumpin'

Come to cover the lovers (Cover the lovers but don't you wake them up)
Come to sparkle the dark up (Sparkle the dark up with just a touch of make-up)

There’s a bit of a connection between the last three. I reckon there’s a solid 100 bonus points if you get all three and the connection...

Remembering you running soft through the night
You were bigger and brighter and wider than snow

We've done no wrong with our blinkers on
It's safe and calm if you sing along
Sing along, sing along, ooh-ooh

One mile in the air that's where she lives
Her body looks so thin and pink and small
Dropping eggs from nervous shaking hands
And swallowing her fingers as they fall

Yes Ruud 👏😊

The heart started pumping one is Bananarama’s Really saying something.

The remember you running one is Picturws of You by the Cure (just listened to it a couple of days ago).

Or even Pictures of You!!

The first one Babooshka posted from the 70s is take me I'm yours by squeeze

Give a wrong time stop a traffic line is anarchy in the uk by the sex pistols

I probably know more, but tired.

Thanks for posting so many, Babooshka.

All of mine that people have guessed from the last few days are right (I think)

Being back at work is depressing

Morning.

The penultimate 80s one is Israel by siouxsie.

@nowlook Correct!

Un homme dans une gare isolée
(80s)

Morning all

All 1980s 😊

The way you hold me tight you get me so excited
You do me oh , so right, my heart goes beat, beat, beat, beat, beat, beat

You turned night into day
And showed me how my soul could sing
You took my hurt away
And showed me love conquers anything

There was a time when I knew you
I held my body to you
Made you feel like you never felt before
And now it's all in the distance
Still you keep resisting
I love you like never before

I been laid off from work.
My rent is due.
My kids all need
Brand new shoes.

Has it ever crossed your mind
That you might want to find
Something else, oh someone new?
(80s)

@CoffeeBeansGalore your first one is Bad Boy by Gloria Estafan.

Your last one is Simply Red Moneys too tight
(Got a story about him)

@Honeyroar Correct with both 😊. Go on then, spill. 😉

I was on a trip to Brazil, we spent a week there. My flatmate was there too. One day in the hotel lobby a ginger bloke walked past. We were giggling that he looked like Mick Hucknall when the receptionist said it really was him. My flatmate left a note for him saying if he fancied some British company the crew were going out that night and left her room no (stupid, but we were only in our 20s). He rang her every hour throughout the night leaving these sleazy messages. She ended up having to change rooms!

@Honeyroar OMG! My dh learnt to fly helicopters when he was younger. Met a record exec who knew ginger. Said he was tight as tight and was an absolute knob. Evidence is adding up 🤣

Years go my friend was in a nightclub in Manchester, he was in there too, he sent someone over to ask if she would join him, she said no 🤣 Looks like we've all got a story!

@Honeyroar @Fleamaker123 shudders. I always thought he was a wrong un...

I think your French lonely station one is Visage, Fade to Grey.

@CoffeeBeansGalore - missed your comment about MH! God, he sounds awful...

He also looks like Charlie Drake has decided to go to a fancy dress party as Carol Decker.

@SingingBabooshkaBadly 🤣🤣🤣

@VictoriousSockPuppet sorry to hear your first day back wasn’t too joyful. All the Covid measures must be making school life even more challenging than usual. Hope today is better for you.

Well done on the Sex Pistols and Squeeze.

Hate to tell you this but the other one isn’t Israel...

@SingingBabooshkaBadly
In your 70a list the one about at sundown instead of going downtown we'll stay at home and get down

That's I love to love (but my baby just loves to dance) think it's by Tina Charles

@VictoriousSockPuppet, never mind, I know . . .
