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.

Oh, you didn't turn away when the sky went grey
Somehow we managed
We had to stick together (oh oh)

80s

Elton John & Kiki Dee don't go breaking my heart

[quote CoffeeBeansGalore]@FlouncerInDenial Apparently adding honey & gin makes it taste better[/quote]
I'm having a dry September 😢

Nothing that you can say
Will change how I feel today;
I know that we'll never part

80s

Yes to elton and kiki. V catchy tune!

It's the terror of knowing what the world is about
Watching some good friends screaming
"Let me out"

80s

I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail

80s

It's the terror of knowing what the world is about
Watching some good friends screaming
"Let me out"

It's singing at me but I can't get it 🤔

I got flowers in the spring
I got you to wear my ring [although not for long, it turned out!]

60s

The square brackets do not form part of the lyrics

I want him out, I want him out that door now

70s

'I spent the evening with the radio
Regret the moment that I let you go
Our quarrel was such a way of learnin' so much
I know now that I love you 'cause I need your touch, hey, hey'

Under pressure

I got you babe

@FlouncerInDenial

Torvean, the bangles. Walk like an Egyptian

Yep. I was a massive Bangles fan.

@CoffeeBeansGalore

This was Honey's from thread 11

Honeyroar

So i am wonder Mike
And I’d like to say hello
(80s)

Oh, I’ve answered that on the old thread - Rapper’s Delight by Sugarhill Gang.

@FlouncerInDenial

I was taught to fight, taught to win I never thought I could fail

80s

That’s Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush, Don’t Give Up.

@MarthasGinYard - I started at the bottom of the page and scrolled up. Didn’t realise you were answering - thought you’d had too much gin and we’re posted some very obvious lyrics 😂

Morning all

I'm too invested in this thread - I was dreaming about you all last night! Lovely to put faces to names 😄

Ooh may I please join in?

90s
Took six big wheels and rolled our bodies off of Howth Head and into the flesh

(My favourite song)

Oops sorry - 1989

Isnt that the sensual world, harriet?

You've yet to meet FouncingBabooshka. She's our official kate bush fan, but I grade myself a close second

And Willow (who has not been around much recently also v keen).

Did you go to one of the concerts in the run she did recently-ish?

Woth your spit
Still on my lip
You hit the water

80s

Sorry, that should have been with
