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.

@flea Here I go again on my own - Whitesnake

^^NeedToKnow101

And I would have got Psycho killer too..^^

It's a great 🎶 isn't it!

@Iggi999 it’s Dizzy - Wonderstuff and Viv Reeves (amongst others!)

Yes Honeyroar for Whitesnake 👏
My younger sister was a big fan so I had to listen to them a lot growing up at home 😂 she even had the perm.

🤣. I liked that song at the time. I might have had a perm too in those days, but not quite a whitesnake perm!!

One from way back that I said would pose a problem to those (me included) who sing along until you get to the chorus:

And he talked for forty-five minutes and nobody understood a word that he said
But we had fun fillin' out the forms and playin' with the pencils on the bench there

So for the singers, a couple of lines from the chorus:
Walk right in, it's around the back
Just a half a mile from the railroad track

From the 60s. I know some of you were alive then.

@VictoriousSockPuppet, did you ever tell us which of the many songs about freedom you meant? I must have missed it if you did.

And I don't think anyone got this, which was a hit in the 80s (just);

From Cullercoats to Whitley Bay

The only song I know with the lyrics "Whitley Bay" was by Dire Straits
Is that it?

Maybe, Iggi999, what was the title?

Oh you're a hard woman...something about Spanish City...

Keep going, you've got the right song...

@Fleamaker123

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

Here I go again on my own.

Don't know who sang it

Arrrgh. That one got got posts ago. Sorry

Library - ummm. Not sure I can remember.

But I think I posted lyrics to think by areatha Franklin , and that's got lots of freedoms in it, so I would have meant that

Yes to alison, common people and how soon is now

Still a couple left to guess though, i think

Was it tunnel of love that was the Spanish city one by Dire Strairs?

It was Aretha. I think I guessed George Micheal!

VictoriousSockPuppet, But I think I posted lyrics to think by areatha Franklin , and that's got lots of freedoms in it, so I would have meant that

Ha! I claim that victory! And I'm sorry, but Honey got the title of the Dire Straits song.

Honey's lost all credibility now we know about the perm

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

Don't Blame it on the Sunshine - The Jacksons

@Fleamaker123 - yes it's brilliant! I've got lots of favourite Talking Head songs, but I think it's my favourite favourite..

Have you ever wondered why you sometimes see me smile?
It's to tell you that I care.
And the best thing you can do is come and follow through

1980s soul: reminds me of the school disco

@Iggi999

My soul embraces one more in a million faces

...goes on to say "High hopes and aspirations, ideas above my station.."

High hopes and aspirations, ideas above my station

Chesney Hawkes I am the ond and only?

Ond even
