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.

Three from the 90s

Take me back, take me back
To where I used to be

I'm screwing up my life
Lord I need to find someone who can heal my mind.

And it's hard to love, there's so much to hate
Hanging on to hope, when there is no hope to speak of

@NeedToKnow101

I'm back at work but this just popped into my head...

No romance without finance.

You’ve gotta have a J.O.B if you wanna be with me!

That’s Ain’t Nothing Going On (but the rent)

I can’t remember the singer though...

Correct @SingingBabooshkaBadly, by Gwen Guthrie.
🙌🏼

Three from the 90s

Take me back, take me back
To where I used to be

I'm screwing up my life
Lord I need to find someone who can heal my mind.

And it's hard to love, there's so much to hate
Hanging on to hope, when there is no hope to speak of

I feel like one of them is by the Verve, but it's kind of a wild random guess.

Not the Verve, sorry!

Babooshka, the second one is blur. Tender

You're not happy with the way I act
You better turn around boy, don't look back
You're getting angry, you know I can see
You're just jealous 'cause you can't be me
1980s

It doesn't look like anyone's getting my outstanding one, so here's some more...

Here they come at 7am
Getting satellite and sky getting cable

Bills and bens and their mums and their friends
Who just really, really want to be loved
Uncle teds and their legendary vests
Helping out around the disabled.

From the flats and the maisonettes
They're reminding us theres things to be done.

And another clue- the lead singer is yummy.

Hanging onto hope when there is no hope to speak of - George Michael, Praying for time

And good advice I could give to you

I wanna see you now

I dont care I dont eat I dont sleep I dont cry

No no no. We're 2 of a kind.

1986

Well done Victorious and Crepuscular 👏👏👏

I’m guessing your gorgeous lead singer is Brett Anderson Victorious?

Can’t place the lyrics though.

@VictoriousSockPuppet

Needtoknow, I'm sure you are

😂 I'm sure I'm not!

Don't kid yourself you've seen it all before
A million mouths have said that too

1980s

1980s

Love Action Human League

Finally got in😄😄

You can have the point for Brett, Babooshka. The song is lazy.

Needtoknow, you are to us 💕

I don’t know that one.

The night is young
The moon is mellow
And there is music in the air
(80s)

Yes @Willow2017

Honeyroar...that's Department S - Is Vic There?

@Iggi999

Haven't been on here for a while! Try this (80s)

Do I touch the way you want to be touched?
Have you heard the words you wanted to hear?
Is my body heat the right intensity?

I'm surprised Honeyroar has not got this, given he was one of the famous men she met in the sky Solo song by someone in a famous group..

I have been foolish too many times
Now I'm determined I'm gonna get it right

80s

You're not like
All of the others

But that is why I love you

90s

One of those songs I absolutely love. One brings back awful memories. 10,000 points for one, all points accrued so far lost for the other.
Play or pass....

@VictoriousSockPuppet

Firsr one Fairground Attraction - Perfect?

@Iggi999 is that I do what I do by John Taylor?

I love Is Viv There, still didn't get it.

I woke up with this treasure for y'all..

I'm warning you
don't know what I'd do
if your love isn't true

Yes xsquared. Not one of the best!

OMG @iggi I just googled that one for the bloke I had as a passenger. What a pile of !! that was!🤣. I don’t remember it atl. Never knew he’d done that.
