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.

Who’s gonna tell you things
Aren’t so great

Screaming in silence,
Fast on her feet.
Nervously feeling fear on the street

I'm comin' home, I've done my time
Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine

FlouncerD that's tie a yellow ribbon, can't remember who by though

I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
That much is true

With you in that dress, oh my thoughts I confess
Verge on dirty

Drive - the cars

The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my light
For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night

What's love got to do with it?

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart

Tainted love

Tainted love

Covered by...2 blokes....arghh...it's strikes again...soft cell

Total eclipse

@FlouncerInDenial

I'm comin' home, I've done my time Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine

Tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree, Tony Orlando and Dawn

Don’t you want me - Human league

@FlouncerInDenial

Drive by The Cars

@FlouncerInDenial

Born down in a dead man's town The first kick I took was when I hit the ground

Springsteen

..born in the USA

1989 the number another summer (get down)
Sound of the funky drummer
Music hitting your heart 'cause I know you got soul
(Brothers and sisters, hey)
Listen if you're missing y'all
Swinging while I'm singing
Giving whatcha getting
Knowing what I know

Maybe... Could be... Dare I say... Pump up the volume??

You guys are guessing them faster than I can upload them 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I had them all in a word doc so I could copy n paste them in, and even doing that you were all super fast

Sorry, flea, not pump up the volume MUCH angrier!

You've not got them all, you know.

Maybe go back and check. They're all v easy

Thanks for the support lovely people 😊

It’s not great but it will get sorted. Mostly covered by insurance but it’s the time and upheaval. Can’t really go anywhere else - thought of that at first Flouncer but with DH’s Parkinson’s it’s not easy to move into anything temporary.

I keep missing all your speed posts Flouncer!
