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.

Missed you too Sock. It gets better a few weeks in. I'm arranging stuff for Xmas now!

The Poison letter one is Since you’ve been gone by Rainbow.

@CoffeeBeansGalore

*Your poison letter, your telegram Just goes to show you don't give a damn*

Since you've been gone, not sure of artist

I think it's Rainbow

The magic music one is Blame it on the boogie (Michael Jackson??)

Perfect Body one is Radiohead Creep

Would she go down is Alanis Morisette You Oughta Know.

I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around

That'd be Creep by Radiohead.
The very rude one is an Alanis Morrisette song, can't remember the one!

This one is 70s and my supervisor has been driving me mad humming it all day...

As we live a life of ease
Every one of us have all we need

@Honeyroar

This one is 70s and my supervisor has been driving me mad humming it all day...

As we live a life of ease
Every one of us have all we need

That's the Beatles Yellow Submarine @Honeyroar
I think it might be 1960s rather than 70s

Yellow submarine, honey

Love all the x-posting 💕

All correct so far except it's the jackson 5

Sorry, I wondered if Yellow submarine was 60s.

Spinning on that dizzy edge

I can't seem to face up to the facts
I'm tense and nervous and I can't relax
I can't sleep 'cause my bed's on fire
Don't touch me I'm a real live wire

70's

That’s Psycho Killer by Talking Heads Flea.

👍Thought that one would be guessed quickly!

@VictoriousSockPuppet

Try these:

Your poison letter, your telegram
Just goes to show you don't give a damn

70s

But I heard you let that little friend of mine
Take off your party dress.

70s

This magic music grooves me
That dirty rhythm moves me
The devil's gotten to me through this dance

70s

With one foot in the past, now, just how long will it last?
No, no, no, have you no ambition?

80s

There's a club if you'd like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own

80s

Would she go down on you in a theatre?

90s

Rent a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some fags and play some pool
Pretend you never went to school

90s

I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around

90s

sorry I've not been around much. Busy week. Missed you guys.

Welcome back Victorioussockpuppet!

Two of yours that hadn’t been taken as I started to type but no doubt will be by the time I post!

Alison, Elvis Costello
Common People, Pulp

Sorry - didn’t mean to quote your entire post 🙄

Oh of course, Common people! It was bugging me.

Spinning on that dizzy edge
(forgot to say it’s 80s)

Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
80's

I want you for my sweet pet
But you keep playing hard to get

Evening! Got one!

There's a club if you'd like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own

The Smiths - how soon is now..

My soul embraces one more in a million faces

And I would have got Psycho killer too..
