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

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

80s

I think this is West End Girls, Pet Shop Boys.

Oh sorry - I see this has already been nabbed (getting myself confused by bouncing around the thread looking for my still to be guessed ones!)

90s
Well that was alright for a while,
But soon I wanted more.
I want to see as well as hear

80s
It's just a simple metaphor
It's for a burning love

70s
Here are we one magical moment
Such is the stuff from
where dreams are woven

60s
But I am so lazy, don't want to wander
I stay at home at night

@FlouncerInDenial

Now go, go, go where you want but don't leave me here forever You, you, you stay away so long, girl, I see you never

80s

@FlouncerInDenial - is this Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney - Stay?

You gotta get up
You gotta get off
You gotta get down, girl

80s

The Micheal and Paul one was called Say, say, say, wasn’t it?

Rockets, moon shots
Spend it on the have nots
Money, we make it
Fore we see it you take it

70s

@Honeyroar

The Micheal and Paul one was called Say, say, say, wasn’t it?

Hello, I'm back! Been a bit busy with these guys...

@FlouncingBabooshka your 70s one is Bowie, Station to Station and your 80s is Lloyd Cole, Forest Fire

Awwwww @TwigTheWonderKid they're adorable 😍😍

@TwigTheWonderKid
How gorgeous! 😊

I know! Mr Twig and I spend all day just watching them.

Yes to Bowie and Lloyd Cole 🌟
Welcome back @TwigTheWonderKid - they’re gorgeous!

@FlouncingBabooshka

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

Annoyed I didn't get garbage. The other one is sleeper. Should have got it quicker. Inbetweener

Aww I want a kitten!!😻😻

Yes angel eyes. I did that one for you, FlouncingB. Just before it there was another song called angel eyes that wasn't Roxy music.

Yes to say, say, say
Yes to that's just the way it is.

Twig, they are ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!! 💕💕💕💕💕

@NeedToKnow101

You gotta get up You gotta get off You gotta get down, girl

80s

Is this last night a DJ saved my life?

Into the sea
You and me
All those years and no one heard
(80s)

I think next awards night instead of skanky old trophies, we should all win kittens

@Honeyroar

Into the sea You and me All those years and no one heard (80s)

Love cats!!!!!

🐈😻😺😸😾😽🐾😼

I slink down the alleyway
Looking for a fight
Howling to the moon
On a hot summer’s night
(80s)
