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.

Shiny

And when you wake up it's a new morning
The sun is shining it's a new morning

Baker Street, Gerry Rafferty

Paint splattered walls and the cry of a tomcat
Lights going out and a kick in the balls

80s

And with you I've found so many things
A love so new only you could bring
Can't you see it's you

Barry White, my first, my last, my everything

Shiny, the first one is lynyrd skynyrd. Free bird

The french one isn't Sunday girl is it?

Night, coffee. Just noticed that post
Sleep well x

@Fleamaker123 correct with your two guesses

@FlouncerInDenial correct with freebird

Very close with Sunday Girl ! Have another guess

@FlouncerInDenial

Paint splattered walls and the cry of a tomcat Lights going out and a kick in the balls

80s

That's entertainment by The Jam

The kick in the balls one is The Jam, That’s Entertainment.

And I refuse to be penalised for not getting Kate Bush lyrics that are posted when I’m not on the thread.

. (I have decided serious flounces shall be preceded by loud huffs in future)

Good night Babooshka

(Ignores huffing and flouncing )

It's Denis Denis. Or is it Dennis Dennis?

Morning all

Last night's huffing and flouncing duly noted 🤣

I give you this one whilst enjoying my morning coffee

I burn like a fire left in the rain
As I run the race, oh yes I feel the pain
From the resistance I'm feeling the strain
Now the realization is that we are all born the same
1994

Sorry about all the huffing and flouncing last night.

These 90s ones are still outstanding from yesterday. Do we need more lyrics or shall I just leave them for a while?

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"

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

An 80s one for @FlouncerInDenial (but anyone else feel free to answer)
Let me get the story straight
You never gave me a break
It's a case of give and take

These are all late 70s or very early 80s:

And when I call you I get stock replies
You work them out before you dry your eyes
I'm not a fruit machine, a 1960's dream
I dreamed about you last night, but you didn't see, girl

Prophesised, brainwashed
Tomorrow's demise
All systems failing
The placards unroll

Does it matter what is shown
Just as long as everyone knows
What's in fashion what is seen
On the front of a television screen

There's no doubt - not when I'm with you
When I'm without - I stay in my room
Where do you go - I get no answer
You're always out - it gets on my nerves

@SingingBabooshkaBadly leave them for a bit. I can be hit & miss with 90s and these lyrics aren't ringing any bells for me. I'm sure someone will be along later & get the lot!

@flouncingBabooshka Is the does it matter what is shown one Skunk Anasie’s Hedonism?

I'm not recognising any of these!

An 80's one..

Now you and I are intimately pictured in my dreams

@flea thatsAlison Moyet’s is this love?

Yes Honey 👍 her songs have great lyrics

That’s it Honeyroar 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Ooh, rather like the name - should I change it?

Thanks @Honeyroar - I love it!

BABOOSHKA!!!! 💕💕💕💕 You've given me the damned. Finally! That would be grimly fiendish. From phastasmagoria

Love you 💋💋💋💋💋💋

And

Fantastic flouncing last night! Absolutely A Grade. I would point out I post the first Kate lyric 3 minutes after your last post. How was I to know you'd vanished!

Your new name suits you! We can be a special sub-group (a clique within a clique). The flouncer girls!

We must develop a secret signal so that any other flouncer can be secretly invited to join us.

Or maybe we (and the others) could be flouncer, bouncer, trouncer etc. A kind of MN 80s music fans bastardisation of Santa's reindeer!
