80s (or thereabouts) song lyrics thread 12

[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

Correct Coffee. (Ooh laly laly!)

Did you credit coffee with an answer I got first?????.?

Yes Twig for Lost in France... I never understood that song when I was a kid 🤣

@FlouncerInDenial I was waiting for that 🤣🤣🤣

However I did get the title correct, with the singer 😁

It was Mari Wilson. So you can have half a point each! (Although flounce has probably already awarded herself several hundred points anyway).

mutters darkly about fairness whilst adjusting spreadsheet

Morning!

And we are not allowed to spend
As we are told that this is the end

@FlouncerInDenial - that's design for life - manic street preachers (full name for maximum points). Love that song.

Well done needtoknow
I was surprised no one got that one

Morning all. Waiting for my brownies to cook so here's a few to keep you going.
All 80s 😊

Now this mountain I must climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
Through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder

And for love's sake
Each mistake
Oh, you forgave
And soon both of us
Learned to trust

Man I ain't getting nowhere
I'm just living in a dump like this
There's something happening somewhere
Baby I just know there is

I saw two shooting stars last night
I wished on them, but they were only satellites
It's wrong to wish on space hardware
I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care

She's got a heart of gold
she'd never let me down
But you're the one that always turns me on
You keep me comin' 'round

Marvin, he was a friend of mine
And he could sing a song
His heart in every line

Don't wanna leave you really
I've invested too much time
To give you up that easy
To the doubts that complicate your mind

I guess I should've closed my eyes
When you drove me to the place where your horses run free
'Cause I felt a little ill when I saw all the pictures
Of the jockeys that were there before me

Won't you come see about me?
I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby
Tell me your troubles and doubts
Giving me everything inside and out

And even as I wander
I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window
On a cold, dark winter's night
