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.

1980s

Oh oh I can feel the magic of your touch
And when you move in close a little bit means so much
Ooh yeah, you've got to understand baby
Time out is what I'm here for

(Night night)

Abracadabra by the Steve Miller band.

I don’t remember that Hall and Oates song.

Abracadabra by the Steve Miller band.
Correct @Honeyroar 🙌🏼

@Honeyroar

And the problems of this old life Won’t be solved by this guitar And they won’t stop coming either By the life I’ve had so far (90s)

That's the levellers...there's only one way of life

The last band I saw. Right at the front. Deploying the Geordie elbows.

So that puts me in mind of this song

"I've looned with them screamed at the moon
Behaved like a buffoon but I soon discovered "

70's

70s, covered in the 80s

Oh, baby, my heart is full of love and desire for you
So come on down and do what you've got to do
You started this fire down in my soul
Now can't you see it's burning out of control

That’s Don’t Leave Me This Way, covered by Erasure.

Was the original Gloria Gaynor?

Oh no, hang on. It was the Communards wasn’t it?

And I don’t think I’m right about Gloria Gaynor.

Correct Midge. I’d love to see The Levellers live..

Flouncing I think you were definitely right with the Communards. The original feels more Three Degrees or Aretha?

Morning all

Sorry, been a busy few days & had some early nights to make up for dh snoring.

Really surprised no one got these

I listen to our favorite song playing on the radio
Hear the DJ say love's a game of easy come and easy go
But I wonder does he know?

Poison, Every rose has it's thorn

That we're surrounded by the comfort and protection of the highest powers
In lonely hours
The tears devour you

Truly madly deeply, Savage Garden

No one got this yet, but if you're listening to BBC Radio 2, it was on played earlier this morning.

But I let temptation slide
Used to be so plain to see the hunger in my eyes
But now I'm buying

Morning!

The disco version was Thelma Houston and the 80s one the Communards. So half correct @FlouncingBabooshka 🙌🏼

@NeedToKnow101 also by Harold Melvin and The Blue Notes

Do you ever watch Live from Darryl's House?

A close encounter with a hardhearted man
Who never gave half of what he got
Has made you wish that you'd never been born
That's a shame 'cause you got the lot
1980s

No?! Always loved Hall and Oates though. What channel?

That's Hall & Oates, one on one!

And correct of course Flea !

NeedToKnow101

The clips from the show are on YouTube, they're brilliant. It was a live stream from his house with guests, the last one was 2016. I'm slowly working my way through them!

Evening all

Here's a few early 80s

(1)
Questions questions
Give me no answers
That's all they ever give me
Questions questions

(2)
The graph on the wall
Tells the story of it all
Picture it now
See just how the lies and deceit
Gained a little more power

(3)
Make a shroud pulling combs through a backwash frame
Find the copies in a carbon mount
Pass around
Stroke a pocket with a print of a laughing sound

(4)
It's dark all day and it glows all night
Factory smoke and acetylene light
I face the day with my head caved in

@Fleamaker123 correct 😊👍

Shiny, no. 2 is Depeche Mode, Everything counts
