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 seems like I've been here before,
I can't remember when

Well I suppose you're thinking I bet he's sinking
Or he wouldn't get in touch with me

Each breath that we breathe
With love we must weave
To make us as one
You know it makes me want to cry, cry, cry

And in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed

Four from the same early '70s year.

[Honeyroar]

No, but I’ve always called it Lunatic in my brain!🤣

[badasscafe1]

American pie by don mclean is @thatlibrarymiss last lyric

[Fleamaker123]

Yes Coffee for Five Star 👍

[ThatLibraryMiss]

Correct, badasscafe1!

[FlouncerInDenial]

Afternoon all.

Thank heavens for simplysteve and badass - FINALLY! Yes it was dog eat dog. Thank you for getting it before I imploded!

and, yes, Babooshka. Kings of the wild frontier was also there.

Well done those who got kylie, altered images and bananarama. All correct.

Is anything currently outstanding?

[CoffeeBeansGalore]

Outstanding

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

Everybody's got a place to be
I got holes in my conscience
Shot with a vengeance
I must have been a fool not to see
Both 80s

[ThatLibraryMiss]

Is anything currently outstanding?

One to flush out the old hippies. The first part's spoken

And he talked for forty-five minutes and nobody understood a word that he said
But we had fun fillin' out the forms and playin' with the pencils on the bench there
I filled out the Massacree with the four-part harmony. Wrote it down there
Just like it was and everything was fine. And I put down my pencil, and I
Turned over the piece of paper, and there on the other side in
The middle of the other side away from everything else on the other
Side in parentheses capital letters quotated read
The following words "kid, have you rehabilitated yourself?"

And the chorus is sung:

Walk right in, it's around the back
Just a half a mile from the railroad track

A song, which became a film starring the singer/songwriter.

[FlouncerInDenial]

Coffee, I'm afraid yours aren't speaking to me.

Library, I didn't know yours, but showed to DH (v v v definitely an old hippy) and he thinks he knows it.
Can I post his answer? I won't take any credit or accrue any points.

[CoffeeBeansGalore]

The first one you will kick yourself. I'll leave it a bit longer.
The second one is a little obscure. Four in the morning by Night Ranger

[CoffeeBeansGalore]

First verse of my outstanding one

I hear your name whispered on the wind
It's a sound that makes me cry
I hear a song blow again and again
Through my mind and I don't know why
I wish I didn't feel so strong about you
Like happiness and love revolve around you

[badasscafe1]

library- really stuck on your other 3 70s lyrics.... driving me mad

[ThatLibraryMiss]

Flouncer, please do post your husband's guess!

badass, they were all chart hits. I'll give it till tomorrow before I post more clues (and you'll kick yourself, if you were listening to pop music in the early 70s).

[FlouncerInDenial]

Alice's restaurant, library

[FlouncerInDenial]

Oh god, coffee. Its waiting for a star to fall.
Sometimes I wish I didn't recognize them!

[FlouncerInDenial]

I don't think I know the other song. Night ranger??? Did they have many hits?

[FlouncerInDenial]

@ThatLibraryMiss

It seems like I've been here before,
I can't remember when

Well I suppose you're thinking I bet he's sinking
Or he wouldn't get in touch with me

Each breath that we breathe
With love we must weave
To make us as one
You know it makes me want to cry, cry, cry

And in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed

Four from the same early '70s year.

I missed these.

The second one is you wear it well. Rod the mod.
Love that song

[badasscafe1]

Night Rangers biggest hit was probably Sister Christian - that’s the one I always remember

[Fleamaker123]

Nobody got this one..

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

[CoffeeBeansGalore]

Correct @FlouncerInDenial! I don't really know Night Ranger, I was looking up songs of the 80s 😁

[Honeyroar]

I’ve got these two outstanding. The first was for @SingingBabooshkaBadly but she was stuck on thread 10!

Stick or twist
The choice is yours
Hit or miss
What’s mine is yours
(90s, I think)

Where’s my wife and family ?
What if I die here?
(80s)

[FlouncerInDenial]

The second one isn't outstanding honey. It's you can call me al.

I got the artist, someone else got the title.

And I left the other one for Babooshka

[Honeyroar]

Oh sorry! I’m not quite with it on this thread, am I! How come you changed your name?

[SingingBabooshkaBadly]

A mini 90s-fest, particularly, though not exclusively, for @SimplySteveRedux

Xxx lingered last in line for brains
And the one she got was sorta rotten and insane
Small things so sad that birds could land


She gave me the loot with puckered up lips
And a wink that I found cute, and I said,
"Baby, baby, baby"

I've given all I can
It's not enough, I've given all I can
But we're still on the payroll

You tell me I'm a real man
And try to look impressed
Not very convincing
But you know I love it

You know I love it when the news is bad
Why it feels so good to feel so sad?

Shopping for kicks, got the weekend to get through
She's keeping the rain off her Saturday hairdo
She stops for a coffee, she smiles at the waiter
He winks at his friends and they laugh at her later

Oh how do you remember me
The one that made you laugh
Until you cried
I hope you're feeling happy now

Every night we're gone
And to karaoke songs
How we like to sing a long
Although the words are wrong

Shock shock horror horror
Shock shock horror

[NeedToKnow101]

Thanks for the new thread wonderful @CoffeeBeansGalore and so glad you're back @SimplySteveRedux .. Sorry to hear about your wheelchair and that you missed the award-ceremony, and I wonder if I know any of your tunes...

Ok back to the game.. Coffee stretched the dates a bit so this is early 2000s, a bit cheesy but I love it.

Everyday is so wonderful
Then suddenly
It's hard to breathe
Now and then I get insecure
From all the pain
I'm so ashamed
