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.

@NeedToKnow101 correct. ✅

I’m not guessing any of them tonight!

@FlouncerInDenial

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

Don't think anyone's got this

James
She's a star

@NeedToKnow101

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

@NeedToKnow101 Silly games - Janet Kay ?

Silly games - Janet Kay ?

@CarnageAtTheGardenCentre - correct! 🙌🏼

@FlouncerInDenial

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?

Can't believe no one has pipped me to the post with Falco's Rock Me Amadeus! And the I want him out one is Barbra Streisand and Donna Summer Enough is Enough.

So many days you passed me by
See the tears standin' in my eyes
You didn't stop to make me feel better
By leavin' me a card or a letter
70s

Mr Postman by the Carpenters

Just heard this in Morrison's 😂😂

I walked along the avenue
I never thought I'd meet a girl like you
Meet a girl like you

80s

NeedToKnow101 that's I Ran, Flock of Seagulls... Someone in Morrisons has good taste!

@Fleamaker123

NeedToKnow101 that's I Ran, Flock of Seagulls... Someone in Morrisons has good taste!

Yep! And yeah Morrison's is where I go to rave these days

So don't stop me falling
It's destiny calling
A power I just can't deny
It's never changing
1980s

It's undisturbable the peace we found
In a bright new space up above the clouds
Everything is understandable
You don't have to say anything too loud
1990s

I’m sorry to say I know that’s Rick Astley’s Together Forever!

Everybody seems to tell you, that I ain't no good for you
You say that I make you feel so blue
Tell me now, was I so blind? (80s)

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

What have you done for me lately - Janet Jackson?

I take it this was one of the outstanding ones, or have I missed earlier answers.

Bold fail, oops sorry.

Is it called Fine Time? Can't remember who though. Sade, or someone like that?

Who do you know
Where will you stay
Big city life
Is not what they say
(80s)

Switch off your shield
Switch off and feel
I'm working on loving, yeah
Giving you back the good times
80s

@Honeyroar Yes well done 👍😊

90s

Zephyr in the sky at night I wonder
Do my tears of mourning sink beneath the sun
She's got herself a universe gone quickly
For the call of thunder threatens everyone

@Honeyroar

Who do you know Where will you stay Big city life Is not what they say (80s)

Is it him or is it me?

Early 2000s

Work it
Make it
Do it
Makes us

(Can't sleep)

Don't let me drift away my dear
When love can see me through

70's

@NeedToKnow101 no it’s not, sorry.
