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.

Correct, Daffodil

New thread but everything's still the same, xsquared! (at least you're building up credits for the next awards night!). You can have a point for knowing the song title.

To follow on from Officall an Award Winning Poster
“ I was barely 17 when I once killed a boy with a fender guitar “
(90’s)

@Daffodil1967 Correct 👍😊 and Leader of the pack was the Shangrilas ( sp?)

Thanks
New to this thread. I will have a read of previous threads. 👍🏻

correct with Primal Scream honey

The two of us together again
But it’s just the same
A stupid game
(80s)

Daffodil, I really wouldn't bother trawling back over the last 10 threads... They're much like as you've seen on here already, and not especially readable I shouldn't think.
You'll just be screaming at your screen at the songs you know.

Just throw up a few lines of songs you like (or loathe) and we'll all try and guess them. And guess any ones you recognise as you spot them.

Let's go to bed honey

(a proposition, not a song title )

Now that IS the Cure!!!!!

Yes I agree there’s no need to read back. You’re already doing well!😊

Welcome to the thread @Daffodil1967.

Thanks coffee.

Left over from the last thread:

It's easy to
Lay down and hide
Where's the warrior
Without his pride?

We're gonna move real good - yeah right
We're gonna dress so fine - ok

80s

I am frankly ashamed that the regulars haven't got this one yet.

Hopefully some of the newbies will and show you up

Adding in more from earlier in the song:

You may not like
The things we do
Only idiots
Ignore the truth

It's easy to
Lay down and hide
Where's the warrior
Without his pride?

@Daffodil1967

Talking Heads but can’t remember name of song.

Who sings songs for the lost and the lonely?
( late 1970’s)

Is this Elkie Brooks Pearls a singer ?

I've learned to feel what I cannot see
But with you I lose that vision
I don't know how to dream your dream
So I'm all caught up in superstition
1980s

Don't you ever, don't you ever
Lower yourself, forgetting all your standards

Ha!
You’re right about screaming at the screen. I’m picturing someone I can’t remember who singing ‘Everybody’s Free’ wearing baggy dungarees. Can’t for the life of me think of the name of the group though.

And even when you're healthy
And your colour schemes delight
Down below those dandy clothes
You're just a shade too white
Shade too white!
Shade too white!

Prince Charming
Adam and the Ants

Don't you ever, don't you ever Lower yourself, forgetting all your standards

Don't you ever, don't you ever
Lower yourself, forgetting all your standards

Adam & the Ants, Prince Charming

It's so sad
When you're young
To be told

Shiny New Apple
Yes !

A few more lines please, please. Pretty please
I’m picturing a bloke singing that solo.

oh, sorry. Several of you got it before coffee.

So what are the lyrics that I've now posted 3 times???????

@OfficiallAnAwardWinningPoster your outstanding one is Adam & the ants but I can't remember the title
