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.

@SingingBabooshkaBadly

That 80s one is annoying me. I hear it in my head but I don’t know what it is.

The Starman lyrics are a bit wrong - do I get bonus points for noticing?

(That could be a game for when we finally run out of steam on this. Post some lyrics with a deliberate mistake and see who spots it 😂)

@SingingBabooshkaBadly - or we could describe a song and the artist without the lyrics.

For all the dreams and schemes
People are as they seem
On a hot summer night
Don't be no fun, don't forget you're young
1980s

Sometimes I get to feelin'
I was back in the old days, long ago
When we were kids, when we were young
Things seemed so perfect, you know?
1990s

Coffee, Days of Our lives, Queen?
I only recently really listened to the lyrics properly, it made me feel quite wistful. Must be my age 😂

Hot in the city ?

Correct both @midgebabe & @Fleamaker123. Well done 👍😊

@xsquared

Sorry *@VictoriousSockPuppet*, not ride on time.

I'll add another line.

Baby baby why do you do this to me? Won't let you go. You're such a, you're such a..

Baby baby why do you do this to me? I've got to know.

Brittany?

@Iggi999 - Mel n Kim?

Indeed it is - try for the song!

@Iggi999 - Mel n Kim? I only know Respectable and Showing Out... lyrics don't seem to fit.

Yep, here it is with the next two lines:

You'd better live in love than luxury, it's alright
And don't so dining out on foolish dreams every night
It only takes a moment to feel alright
Get fresh at the weekend, showing out, showing out
Get fresh at the weekend, showing out, showing out

Just beyond the highway
there's an open plain
And it keeps me goin'
Through the wind and rain
1970s

You're everywhere and nowhere, baby,
Thats where you're at,
Going down a bumpy hillside,
In your hippy hat.
1968

Just beyond the highway
there's an open plain
And it keeps me goin'
Through the wind and rain

Is this the way to Amarillo
Tony Christie

You're everywhere and nowhere, baby,
Thats where you're at,
Going down a bumpy hillside,
In your hippy hat.

Hi Hi Silver Lining
Jeff Beck

Well done @Willow2017 👍😊

Baby, when we break up from a quarrel or a fight
I can't wait to have you back and hold you, oh, so tight
Tell me why...
80s

Mine outstanding from yesterday:

You'd like to think I'm just crazy
When I say that you've changed
I'm convinced I know the problem
You don't love me the same

• You'd like to think I'm just crazy When I say that you've changed I'm convinced I know the problem You don't love me the same*

Superwoman by Karen White

• Baby, when we break up from a quarrel or a fight I can't wait to have you back and hold you, oh, so tight Tell me why...*

The songs Breakin' Up, it's been covered a few times, so not sure who the original artist is.

• You'd better live in love than luxury, it's alright And don't so dining out on foolish dreams every night It only takes a moment to feel alright Get fresh at the weekend, showing out, showing out Get fresh at the weekend, showing out, showing out*

The song title's "Showing Out".

@SimplySteveRedux - I got Showing Out already by proxy (I think?!)

The clue for the following 70s is singer is an American soul legend with loads of chart hits.
This is from a classic album of his.

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

For you there might be ....
But through my eyes the light of you it's all I see
For you there might be another song
But all my heart can hear is your melody

Is it My Cherie amore by Stevie Wonder @NeedToKnow101?

@xsquared

Is it My Cherie amore by Stevie Wonder *@NeedToKnow101*?

@xsquared - right artist, wrong song. When I initially added all the songs there was a theme too. Another clue!

SimplySteveRedux - I got Showing Out already by proxy (I think?!)

@NeedToKnow101 Oh, sorry, indeed you did! I blame lack of sleep!!

...and your Stevie Wonder song is Another Star. Clever to remove those two words from the first line of the lyrics you posted!

...and your Stevie Wonder song is Another Star.

@SimplySteveRedux - correct! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼💥
