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.

'It's not the way you look
It's not the way that you smile
Although there's something to them
It's not the way you have your hair
It's not that certain smile
It could be that with you'

Yes it is!

Yours is Flock of Seagulls, Wishing

Correct

We have a regular in the cafe called Diana who comes in with her friend and discusses her dates/sex life. She always seems to sit at the next table to a family. She looks like Dorian from Birds of a feather!

I need you by my side
To tell me it’s alright
Cause I don’t think I can take anymore
(80s)

Don’t be afraid
Just knock on the door
But he just stood there mumbling and a fumbling
(79)

Honey

You’re eternally wild with the power
To make every moment come alive
(80s)

Whitesnake is this love

Not sure of second one

'You’re eternally wild with the power
To make every moment come alive
(80s)'

Mystify, mystify me....

Yes to Whitesnake and INXS.
And on the Micheal Hutchence note, I’m off to bed! Night all. 😴😴

Oh...I’ve not been around much and I’ve missed loads 🙁

@Honeyroar, your mumbling and fumbling one is Horace Wimp (was it actually called The Diary of Horace Wimp?) by ELO.

DH is in bed. I’m sitting up feeling dejected (ongoing house traumas) and I have demolished two thirds if a tub of ice cream. No point stopping now...

'Ride the range all the day
Till the first fading light
Be with my western girl
Round the fire oh so bright
I'd be the Indians' friend
Let them live to be free
Ridin' into the sunset
I wish I could be'

'Loving and living or losing and using
Life is forgiving so use it well
Feeling revealing or wheeling and dealing
Life`s not for stealing and time will tell'

@MarthasGinYard

'Ride the range all the day Till the first fading light Be with my western girl Round the fire oh so bright I'd be the Indians' friend Let them live to be free Ridin' into the sunset I wish I could be'

That's another ELO one, Wild West hero

Yes Shiny

Yes @FlouncingBabooshka it was ELO
Sorry to hear you’re still having stress with the house. What’s happening? I can’t remember what you said before, but I had a friend that had been through similar, I think.

Evening all

A little ditty from 1990

All police and detectives are furious
'cause they can't find the source of this lethally evil force.
This is serious so give me a quarter.
I was a witness. Get me a reporter.

'Loving and living or losing and using Life is forgiving so use it well Feeling revealing or wheeling and dealing Life`s not for stealing and time will tell'

That's more Level 42! Take a Look.

In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small
80s

Phil Oakley and Georgio Meroda’s Electric Dreams.

Correct @Honeyroar ... sorry @TwigTheWonderKid just pipped to the post (yesterday)!

I actually forgot about this thread for a whole few hours, can't believe it! Although I almost invited a music-tastic colleague to join us today, but then thought better of it. Don't miss business with pleasure.

early 2000s

Every night
Every day
Just to be there in your arms

@NeedToKnow101 Kylie, Can't get you out of my head

Yep! 🙌🏼

I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words
Or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say
(80s)
