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.

Tbh I posted lines from If you leave recently. I think they’re all coming around now, but it’s still good.

I think Flouncer and I proved that perfectly at the weekend- both posting Stray cat strut, but different lines, and both not noticing!

She's posing for consumer products now and then
For every camera she gives the best she can
I saw her on the cover of a magazine
Now, she's a big success, I want to meet her again
80s

Is that Borderline @Honeyroar ?

It is LadyG✅👍

That's she's a model , Kraft work

Love both the soft cell and OMD songs

Twig is yours Kraftwerk’s The Model?

Feel the rain like an English summer
Hear the notes of a distant song.
(80s)

She waits at backstage doors
for those that have prestige
Who promise fortune and fame
A life that’s so carefree
(80s)

@TwigTheWonderKid

Standin' at the door of the Pink Flamingo cryin' in the rain, It was a kind of so-so love And I'm gonna make sure it doesn't happen again, 80s

Take your hands off me I don't belong to you, you see Take a look at my face for the last time I never knew you You never knew Say hello goodbye Say hello and wave goodbye

Oops sorry got carried away. Love that song (pretending to not notice I was well pipped to the post)...

80s

I only knew you for a while
I never saw your smile'til it was time to go
Time to go away (time to go away)Sometimes it's hard to recognize
Love comes as a surprise

Phil Oakley and Georgio Meroda’s Electric Dreams.

I love the Soft Cell one too. Such fab break up lyrics. You’d be crushed!!

80s

I only knew you for a while

Time to go away (time to go away)Sometimes it's hard to recognize

That's Electric Dreams. I used to have a massive crush on Phil Oakey.

That's Visage Fade To Grey.

And yes to Kraftwerk though Shiny beat you to it.

He was pretty good looking Twig, when you could see him for his fringe!! I wonder if he’s still married to the girl from the band?

'Here I go out to sea again
The sunshine fills my hair
And dreams hang in the air
Gulls in the sky and in my blue eyes
You know it feels unfair
There's magic everywhere'

Aww that’s Wonderful Life by Black (think they were called that!(

Correct to Visage Twig. I’d have beaten Shiney if I’d not posted the Visage lyrics (semi flounce!!)

Yes Honey

'fragile but free
We remain tender together
If not so in love
It's not so wrong
We're only human after all'

@MarthasGinYard

'fragile but free We remain tender together If not so in love It's not so wrong We're only human after all'

Ooh it's my guilty pleasure; Level 42, Something About You

@MarthasGinYard that’s Something about you by Level 42. Flouncer in Denial will be sick she missed that. 🤣

Lots of my old favourites tonight!

Nobody know my backstage doors one? It’s been in my head all week. We have a regular at the coffee shop that we sing it about!

Twig and Honey

Correct

Honey

Sorry missed that

Is it....

Dirty Diana naaawww
