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.

Have lost track of who posted it, but Head over Heels by Tears for Fears has just been up.

yes Victorioussockpuppet- I knew you’d know it!

"I've got no reason to smile"
Older song but covered in the 80's.

Yes, Iggi. Well done. I was surprised no one got it.

I put it up because I was devastated to have missed showing the seeds of love that got put up when I briefly stepped away from the thread

@Iggi999

"I've got no reason to smile" Older song but covered in the 80's.

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to?

Shrangliras??

@VictoriousSockPuppet

No chance, needtoknow.

Too little, too late

@VictoriousSockPuppet - you're definitely not winning 'most award.' Although that award problem wins 'lamest award' award.

I would have got that! I'm always too late! 😢

@SingingBabooshkaBadly -

Which awards were you shortlisted for? That must have been annoying.

Re: famous people award. I'm 100% sure I'm a shoe-in (is that the right term?) but please tell your other famous stories. I have another one, I was rude to Mark Lamar in a men's toilet (apologies if I shared this classy info already).

@NeedToKnow101 Dare I ask why you were rude to Mark Lamar?

Industry awards I meant.

Btw no-one guessed my one from this morning, so I am flouncing (until I come back, well in time for tomorrow's piss up ceremony.

@CoffeeBeansGalore - well, i used to have a bit of a thing for him, then when I saw him in the men's toilets (I was drunk), I thought I'd impress him by making a non funny joke... that I thought he was Vic Reeves. He wasn't impressed; he majorly flounced actually, so I blew my chances with him. Went off him after that.

Maybe we can give him an honorary flounce award?!

@NeedToKnow101 😁 Great story 👍

Ah thanks @CoffeeBeansGalore - I suppose I had better post some lyrics too!

I can't see much of a future
Unless we find out what's to blame, what a shame
And we won't be together much longer
Unless we realize that we are the same

Buzzcocks Ever fallen in love

@NeedToKnow101 you weren’t rude to him, he was just full of himself! Sometimes blowing your chances is a blessing in disguise!

@Honeyroar

Buzzcocks Ever fallen in love

Correct! 🙌🏼

@NeedToKnow101 - great story! Could you clarify something please? Are you a man? If not we definitely need more info about why you were in the men’s toilets????

DH is demanding attention so will have to come back to you on my qualifications for the famous people category...

@SingingBabooshkaBadly - no I am definitely not a man I promise!! It was a club night in a pub in north London - I think the Lamarr was dj-ing - and I was most drunk, and as per usual the ladies had a long queue and the men's didn't. That's why I was in there; I was doing a wee.

Can't believe you're putting your husband needing 'attention' before the needs of this thread btw.. doesn't he understand you have priorities?!

Ooh, you’re a bold one @NeedToKnow101. I’ve never used the men’s toilets on purpose. I did once accidentally use the men’s in a very swanky restaurant (might have been a little drunk...) and only realised my mistake when I got myself trapped in a cubicle and had to be rescued.

No celebs were involved though...

I don’t know why I keep unnecessary quoting everyone???

unnecessarily even.

Great story needtoknow, and extra kudos points for using the gents.

I note Babooshka makes plenty of references to knowing or having met famous people, but doesn't actually name them

Coffee, I can't believe this is the case, but it's absolutely true...

A) my first thought on waking up this morning was "oh. I think coffee was serious about wanting nominations. I'd better send her some"

B) I've thought of a delightful new category. I will pm you that as well

C) as an ex PTA member, I will (of course) stay and help you clear up at the end. Do you need help with the prep? Making up goodie bags or blowing up balloons? I've got some time this aft. Give me a shout if you need me

Is it a free bar do we know?

Good morning all

@VictoriousSockPuppet yes I was serious about nominations.
Delighted to have another category.
Thank you for the offer. I will message you 😊
