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 yes, so it was, coffee. I'd forgotten.

Obviously, morally you can't have any points for that one, then. Heigh ho

Yes shiny.

Technically it's singin'. But I'll let you have it

I think I did this one last soggy Saturday session but what the hell....

Neon signs a-flashin'
Taxicabs and buses passin' through the night
A distant moanin' of a train
Seems to play a sad refrain to the night

Btw, does anyone else have the "mum and no life insurance" ad that I've got atm?
The grammar is making my teeth itch

Rainy night in Georgia

... it feels like spring,
Magic mushrooms out of dreams

Correct @shinynewapple2020 👏🏼🙌🏼

@shinynewapple2020, Rainy Days and Mondays it is indeed.

My mind's distracted and diffused
My thoughts are many miles away
They lie with you when you're asleep
And kiss you when you start your day

60s, but well-known and lyrics are on topic

I’ve stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
I’ve walked and I’ve crawled on six crooked highways
I’ve stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
I’ve been out in front of a dozen dead oceans

Another 60s one

Won't you look down upon me, Jesus
You've got to help me make a stand
You've just got to see me through another day

70s

Hear the mighty engines roar
See the silver wing on high
She's away and westward bound
Far above the clouds she'll fly

60s, re-released in the 70s

That's hard train's gonna fall. I know it by Roxy music, but 60s makes it Bob Dylan for a bonus point

Well done, FlouncerInDenial, speak to the scorekeeper not me about your points.

That's ok, library. I am the scorekeeper

Ah, no conflict of interests there then.

None

none whatsoever.

Just quietly watching . . . .

All the love inside me has been sleeping
Waiting for the right one to come along
You can share the love that I’ve been keeping baby
(80s)

Early morning April 4
Shots ring out in the Memphis sky
Free at last they took your life
(80s)

I saw you up on a clear day
First taking hearts
Then our last breath away
(80s)

Pride, U2

Yes Fleamaker and yes to the group Ajumpeduppantryboy. 👍🌟

Players only love you when they're playin'
Say women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know
You'll know
1970s
