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!

[SingingBabooshkaBadly]

@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...

[SingingBabooshkaBadly]

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

[FlouncerInDenial]

3rd one (payroll) is karma police. Radiohead

[FlouncerInDenial]

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!

[FlouncerInDenial]

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

[FlouncerInDenial]

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

[badasscafe1]

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

[FlouncerInDenial]

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

[SingingBabooshkaBadly]

@FlouncerInDenial

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

Go for it Flouncer. I haven’t a clue.

Love your new name btw.

[FlouncerInDenial]

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!

[SingingBabooshkaBadly]

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

[FlouncerInDenial]

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.

[SingingBabooshkaBadly]

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

[SingingBabooshkaBadly]

So relieved it’s not Kate Bush

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

[FlouncerInDenial]

Nobody knows about my man

70s

[ThatLibraryMiss]

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

[Honeyroar]

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.

[NeedToKnow101]

@FlouncerInDenial

Nobody knows about my man

70s

Nope sorry 😘

[Honeyroar]

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

[Fleamaker123]

With auburn hair and tawny eyes
The kind of eyes that hypnotise.

Honeyroar, that's Flock of Seagulls, I ran

FlouncerInDenial best name so far!

[Honeyroar]

👍✅ Correct Fleamaker.
