80s (or thereabouts) song lyrics thread 11

[CoffeeBeansGalore]

Here we go you lovely lot, Thread 11.

Post some lyrics of a song 70s, 80s, 90s (boundaries may be slightly pushed either way). State the decade & we will try to guess Artist(s) and song.

@FlouncerInDenial

They build up my body, break me emotionally It's nearly killing me, but what a lovely feeling!

70s

Them Heavy People, Kate Bush (thank goodness I went back to check - completely missed it first time round!)

The Fate Wants You Dead one is the wedding List.

You’re spoiling me @FlouncerInDenial 😘

Nothin' is really wrong
Feelin' like I don't belong
Walkin' around
Some kind of lonely clown

FlouncerInDenial.. Is that the Carpenters, Rainy days and Mondays??

😂 I can't keep up with the flouncing

Hey I've adjusted these early 2000 lyrics to make them more relevant....

Flounce flounce flounce flounce flounce flounce

I couldn't get enough, so I had to self-destruct
The heat was on, rising to the top
Everybody going strong, and that is when my spark got hot

Disco Inferno? Can't remember who by

Hmmm...pretty sure the cloud one is another Kate Bush but I can’t quite get it...

Ooh a lot here I knew and missed

Disco inferno is The Tramps

@ThatLibraryMiss
Correct with Denis Denis Blondie

Outstanding from yesterday

We must begin to tell our young
There's a world waiting for you
This is a quest that's just begun

Early 1970s

When the wheel of fortune broke
You fell to me
Out of grey skies to change my misery
The vacant spot ; your beating heart took its place

1980s

As I look for you right through the crowd
All my life here I've spent
With my faith in God, the church and the government

1980s

Corring with breathing FlouncerB. Agree, it's an amazing song.

NeedtoFlounce - some sort of copy and paste fail? You've assigned a song to the wrong lyrics! All points annulled

Correct with Carly Simon and Steve Harley, FlouncerB.
Also wedding list and them heavy people. I AM spoiling you

(No one tell her theres another one she's missed or she'll start huffing again!)

FleaFlouncer, correct with rainy days and mondays (love that song!) And also disco inferno

ShinyFlouncer, I wasn't sure who sang disco inferno, but sure you're right.

When the wheel of fortune broke You fell to me Out of grey skies to change my misery The vacant spot ; your beating heart took its place

1980s

Isnt this the jam too, shinyFlounce? (I say "too" because I put up jam lyrics yesterday. Not sure if I subliminally influenced you or you subliminally influenced me!!)

@shinynewapple2020

As I look for you right through the crowd All my life here I've spent With my faith in God, the church and the government

1980s

Simple minds. Belfast child

Wonder where coffeeFlounce and honeyFlounce are this evening. And libraryFlounce

Flouncer

When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you

Bridge over troubled water, Simon and Garfunkel

I'd have got three more of yours but I was out picking blackberries.

I thibNeedtoknow would be the best flouncer name. Need to flounce! Then Shiney new flounce. I’d be HoneyflouncingRoar. Iggi could be Flouncii. We could have a full flouncing squad!!

That flouncer miss...

Our synchronised dances would be amazing, HoneyFlouncingRoar!!!!

Correct LibraryFlouncer

Please could I ask a favour of someone?

Back on page 1 or possibly 2, I put up a load of lyrics which started with the spoken word. Please could someone quote that post for me?

There are some things I want to tell you guys about it. But my fat fingers keep hitting "bookmark" randomly on people's posts, and once you do that, somehow it won't let you go back to page 1 (or, it won't on my phone anyway)

@FlouncerInDenial

Yes to The Jam - influenced totally by DH's random playlist as we were driving back from lunch !

Do you know which track ?

I was trying to remember if this was their last single , very much changed tempo from the early stuff
