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.

@CoffeeBeansGalore

Don't you tell it to the breeze 'cause she will tell the birds and bees And ev'ryone will know because you told the blabbering trees Yes, you told them once before; It's no secret any more. 1970s

Whispering Grass by, umm, two characters from It ain't half hot, Mum. Sing it, shorty!

@CoffeeBeansGalore

1970s

Late at night a big old house gets lonely
I guess ev'ry form of refuge has it's price
And it breaks her heart to think her love is
Only given to a man with hands as cold as ice

I used to be a rolling stone you know
If a cause was right
I'd leave to find the answer on the road

The first one is Lyin' Eyes by The Eagles. Dunno the second.

Listen to the music, shuffle up your feet
Listen to the music of the .... beat

Gloria Estefan?

Sorry @CoffeeBeansGalore - a million miles away!

@ThatLibraryMiss yes it's great when the video link is attached, I've tried to do it in the past but failed miserably 😂 I usually just nip off to YouTube anyway.

I know you come a long way, baby
But you don't need
That heart of stone, no
To prove that you can
Do it, do it, baby
You can make it on your own

Steppin' out the weekends open wide
Fill it up, let's blast the jams and die
While we're cruisin' around in the street
Listen up for the party
Slap me five that's the place we've arrived, it's alive

Ev'rybody take it to the top...

80

1980s (the original)

Oasis in the sand where life once began
Under the moonlight your eyes won't believe
What your mind can't conceive

Is that Earth Wind and Fire?

I must get on with my day... not the name of the song, I must get on!

NeedToKnow101 not Earth Wind Fire but you're on the right track. I've got stuff to do to, very inconvenient 😂

😂😂 I know! I mean we have an over-riding commitment here. Anything else is just filler.

I know the song can't quite get the band.. (or name of song!)

Thanks coffee

I was talking to myself on the old thread this morning !

Thanks for this...was feeling a little miffed that you had run off to hide , as I didn't have an invite, but I see my name in the list

I am sure I had posted some lyrics no one bothered to guess so I will look back later

Hi guys. Apologies, apparently some people don't get the notification even if I tag them 🙄

@midgebabe, please re-post & we can have a go. I need to go back & find my outstanding ones 😊
@shinynewapple2020 Welcome across!

Being tagged is enough to make me happy, sad I know .

The second one is Philadelphia freedom by Elton John

The headmaster's had enough to-day
All the kids have gone away
Gone to fight with next-door's school
Every term, that is the rule
1980s

@CoffeeBeansGalore is it baggy trousers- Madness?

@CarnageAtTheGardenCentre Correct 😊👍

Needtoknow: Nope

What a way to break it to me. Adjusts spreadsheet accordingly.

Midge, the thread would be the poorer without you ♥️
