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.

[Daffodil1967]

Official.
It was covered by a lad from a boy band ?
Bob Dylan ?

It makes me proud
So proud of you
I see innocence
Shining through

It makes me proud
So proud of you
I see innocence
Shining through

It makes me proud
So proud of you
I see innocence
Shining through


(Although I'm not currently proud of ANY of you. And none of you may join my secret "I still would" fan club)

I'm not going to eviscerate you, Daffodil, because you're new and I don't want to put you off (because everyone else on here [except me] is really very nice, and we like having new people come and play)

But, no.

[Daffodil1967]

Thanks for the welcome guys.

Sorry but no idea on that one.
But! from what you’ve written, could it be a Rod Stewart or Tom Jones song perchance ?

[Daffodil1967]

So I’m off to bed with
“ innocence shining through” like an earworm. Aaarrrgggg!

[OfficiallAnAwardWinningPoster]

I've just realized it's gone midnight (eek! I need to go to bed).

So I shall draw a line under what has gone before, tomorrow (well, now today) is a new day.

Deep breath, and start again. Try these instead. You might all find them a little easier:

All of these things I do
All of these things I do
To get away from you

80s

It's too close for comfort
This heat has got
Right out of hand

80s

In my mind a celebration
The sweetest of sensation

80s

Night all

That outstanding Adam and the Ants is Dog Eat Dog- and also see AntMusic upthread as well

[badasscafe1]

Also see Altered Images I could be happy in Official’s goodnight post

[SimplySteveRedux]

Aww, thanks everyone.

"I was barely 17 when I once killed a boy with a fender guitar "

That'll be Mr. Meatloaf - Wasted Youth. Bat Out Of Hell II was an album I listened to on repeat while studying

[SimplySteveRedux]

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

Think it's Dog Eat Dog.

  Is Cruel Summer. It was covered by Ace of Base (very well I might add), but unsure who the original artist was.

  Kylie - I Should Be So Lucky

So sorry @badasscafe1 missed your post with the title.

[badasscafe1]

Cruel summer original is bananarama or was that a cover too? Don’t think so

[Honeyroar]

All of these things I do is Altered Images I could be happy.

[Fleamaker123]

And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
'87

I can call you
Got your number
Share my life with you
A thousand miles away
'84

[badasscafe1]

Hear it my accent when I talk- is that Sting Englishman in New York?

[Fleamaker123]

@badasscafe1 👍

Cut me a heart on a tree and say
It's forever, not a year and a day

80's

[SingingBabooshkaBadly]

Oh here you all are!

I’ve been talking (well, rambling in a deranged way about H and Kylie and GaGa) to myself on the last thread...and wondering where you all were.

Just skimmed this but welcome back @SimplySteveRedux, sorry to hear you’re having such a rough time. Welcome to the newbies.

May have missed a post due to skimming but I don't think anyone has mentioned Kings of the Wild Frontier, posted by @@OfficiallAnAwardWinningPoster.

[Honeyroar]

I think Awardwinninfposter has mentioned it once or twice!

[CoffeeBeansGalore]

^Cut me a heart on a tree and say

Rain or Shine, Five Star

Honey, You may be right is Billy Joel, You may be right. Did you mean to give the song title away like that?
