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.

If I am thinking light shines on me should 8 carry on that line or give up?

Following on from what was no 1 on the day we were born, this was no 1 on my 21st birthday.

90s

I'm choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool

sorry, feetfreckles. I don't understand your post???

If when why what how much have you got
Have you got it do you get it
If so how often

80s

Where the haircuts smile
And the meaning of style
Is a night out with the boss

80s

@FlouncerInDenial

I can wait until your love light

70s

Does it carry on "shines on me" or have I gone off in the wrong direction totally

( sorry, tired I think )

@FlouncerInDenial

80s

Pet shop boys?

My birthday

" hey life look at me
I can see the reality "

60's

That's the supremes, isn't it feet? The happening. Is that what was no 1 when you were born?

Does it carry on "shines on me" or have I gone off in the wrong direction totally

It does. So can you name the song?

I'm choosing my confessions

Yip ( I think , not remember )

Pet shop boys?
Yes. Again, can you name the song?

Btw, with the one above, try and get it quick before FlouncingBabooshka turns up. She's a bit of a fan.

Give me a few hours .... sounds like Brian ferry at the moment in my head

Yes, Flea.

Flounced in denial is one of yours happy hour the housemartins

West end girls !

No 1 on my 21st..

I could put my arms around every boy I see
But they'd only remind me of you

Ellie and feet. Both right 👍

Nothing remind me of you sinews O'Connor?

@feetfreckles
Yes ✅
😂 Sinews O'Connor has a ring to it

@Fleamaker123 - that’s Glass of Champagne by Sailor.

Isn't it called nothing compares 2 U [sic] ??

@FlouncerInDenial - your one on the previous page is Roxy Music, Angel Eyes.

I’ve given up hope of anyone getting this - it’s Only Happy When it Rains by Garbage.

I'm only happy when it's complicated
And though I know you can't appreciate it
I'm xxxx
You know I love it when the news is bad
Why it feels so good to feel so sad?
I'm xxxxx

I’ve added the chorus to this next one - up to the point it gives the title away. It’s Brit Pop, female lead singer (which really narrows it down!). It’s so good - someone else must know it!

Shopping for kicks, got the weekend to get through
She's keeping the rain off her Saturday hairdo
She stops for a coffee, she smiles at the waiter
He winks at his friends and they laugh at her later
He's cleaning his car on his pebble dash driveway
New chamois leather he got for his birthday
He reads Harold Robbins he flirts with his neighbour
Ignores her at breakfast he's reading the paper
He dreams of a roller, she dreams of a fast getaway.
He's not a prince, he's not a king
She's not a work of art or anything
It makes no sense another year
What kind of A to Z would get you here
He's nothing special, she's not too smart
He studies fashion, she studies art
I thought I told you right from the start
