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.

@Honeyroar

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

I couldn't live with the typo!

@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)

Sorry I don’t know that one @Honeyroar. Worried it’s a Kate Bush song and I’ll have to return my award...

Notice we were all too polite (or embarrassed for you) to mention that typo @FlouncerInDenial...

3rd one (payroll) is karma police. Radiohead

And the last one is the female of the species is more deadly than the male.

Some people tell me I got great legs
Can't figure out why you make me beg
Does not compute
Don't not compute
You think you're special, well so do I
Why do special women make me cry?
Does not compute
Some don't compute

1980s

I knew it was there, but I was just oh-so-pleased with myself for thinking of it before any of you guys did, and was rushing so much, I pressed save before I could change it. I tried to live with it, but no... just wasn't possible.

I like this name. It's a tribute to a category I didn't know was there! So, really it's an homage to all of you lovely lot. And certainly to these threads!

I know the one for Babooshka. As she doesn't, can I say it?

Need to know, is your 80s one prince? I'm not sure of the song,but I can hear his voice clearly in my mind

Hope no one minds but

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

Is The Universal by Blur- absolutely top song

Eek. Don't know why the spaces in your name there

@FlouncerInDenial

Go for it Flouncer. I haven’t a clue.

Love your new name btw.

EVERYONE minds, badass. Either we are furious you got in first, or we're livid we didn't recognise it and should have.
Either way, don't let it stop you!

yes, well done @badasscafe1 - one of my favourite Blur tracks

It's a good name, isn't it. Got sick of bloody honey refusing to use the most important word in the last-but-one.

The song is confide in me. Kylie.

And yes to Flouncer for Female of the Species and Karma Police 🌟

So relieved it’s not Kate Bush

Correct Flouncer in denial it is Prince... need the title now...

Nobody knows about my man

70s

One point to Flouncer for You wear it well, and one to Flouncer’s husband for identifying Alice’s Restaurant. Still two outstanding from me:

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

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

Correct @FlouncerInDenial. I like this name! Ps, I wasn’t too polite to tell you about the typo, I just hadn’t noticed! I’m missing so much on this new thread! I did like calling you sock though.

@FlouncerInDenial

Nobody knows about my man

70s

Nope sorry 😘

With auburn hair and tawny eyes
The kind of eyes that hypnotise.
(80s)

With auburn hair and tawny eyes

Honeyroar, that's Flock of Seagulls, I ran

FlouncerInDenial best name so far!

👍✅ Correct Fleamaker.
