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.

I think I've got some outstanding from yesterday. Give me a sec and I'll repost them in case they got lost in the excitement of a shiny new thread.

These are mine that are outstanding. Do you need more words?

Your friends seem to think that you're so peachy keen
But my friends say neglect is on your mind - who's right?

80s

Er war superstar
Er war popular
Er war so exultiert
Because er hatte flair

80s

Duets:

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

80s

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

70s

Anyone else got any outstanding ones, or do we need some fresh?

Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green

70s
(I think the singer is talking about me)

Heard on the radio earlier:

She's been in disguise forever
She's tried to disguise her stellar views
Much brighter than all this static
Now she's coming through

90s

Also on the radio earlier:

You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools
But that's the way I like it baby
I don't wanna live for ever
And don't forget the joker!

Amazingly, 80s. I'd have sworn it was earlier (but I'm often wrong with this as I've been finding out on these threads)

@FlouncerInDenial

Needtoknow: Nope

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

@FlouncerInDenial - you say spreadsheet, I suspect a wall..



Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair

FlouncerInDenial that's Jolene, Dolly Parton

I've posted this a few times, I don't think anyone's going to get it. It's been my ear worm all day..

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

79

Like this..

Want some coke, have some weed
You know me, I'm your friend
Your main boy, thick and thin

1970s

Sounds like a Carole King song, but I can't think what one.

I like that wall, needtoknow. No, just a simple, unbiased, honest spreadsheet keeping a running total of the scores.

Flea - correct with Jolene.
And I'm afraid your lyrics aren't currently speaking to me. Sorry.

1970s

‘Cause every time we meet
We play hide and seek
I'm wondering what I should do
Should I, dear, come up to you
And say, “How do you do?”
Would you turn me away

I like that wall, needtoknow. No, just a simple, unbiased, honest spreadsheet keeping a running total of the scores.

Aw I love that @FlouncerInDenial 😍

🤣🤣🤣🤓

Ffs I openly admitted I googled an ADVERT from the 70s which I thought was for Luton Airport!!!!!!!

Evening all. You’ve been busy while I was working hard! Why has shiny got nearly as many points as Flouncerindenial(of how many points she hasn’t got)?? Has she been sucking up? The rest of us are miles behind.

I’m not sure if there are any outstanding, that I can guess anyway!

Mama se
Mama sa
Mama coo sa

Mama coo sa!!
(80s)

This is still outstanding

So what are you doing back?
Well, I sat back and thought about the things we used to do
It really meant a lot to me, you mean a lot to me
I really mean that much to you?
1980s

Orville, who is my very best friend?

I'm going to see the folks i dig
I'll even kiss a sunset pig

I'll add the first few lines..

Sitting in a park in paris, france
Reading the news and it sure looks bad
They won't give peace a chance
That was just a dream some of us had

70s

@NeedToKnow101 It's been a long week! Some bright spark will probably get them tomorrow 😊

I'm off to bed. Night all
