Baby, I got sick this mornin'
A sea was stormin' inside of me
Baby, I think I'm capsizin'
The waves are risin' and risin'
80s

Nothing is more serious and highbrow than this thread 

True dat @shinynewapple2020 Grin

NeedToKnow101 · 16/11/2020 18:07

and another!

In your white lace and your wedding bells
You look the picture of contented new wealth
But from the on-looking fool who believed your lies
I wish this grave would open up and swallow me alive

Theme continued..

Hey go get the doctor, doctor came too late
Another night I feel alright my love for you can't wait
80s

Yazoo, Don't go
Fleamaker123 · 16/11/2020 18:34

Another for the theme (glad your DH is on the mend FlouncingBabooshka)

I don't need no needle to be giving me a thrill
And I don't need no anesthesia or a nurse to bring a pill

@Fleamaker123

Does anyone remember the video to AEIOU, it summed up the 80's for me!
Just rewatched it. Definitely ticks all those 80s boxes. school disco-tastic.
NeedToKnow101 · 16/11/2020 18:46

Yazoo, Don't go
Correct @Fleamaker123 🙌🏼

NeedToKnow101 · 16/11/2020 18:49

Main attraction dead on his feet
Black man rhythm with a white boy beat

70s (the theme)

FlouncerInDenial · 16/11/2020 18:52

Correct with a spoonful of sugar, midge.

Don't feel any urge to rush back with your degree level themes.
But lyrics always welcome

Correct with Doctors orders . Google tells me it was by Carol Douglas although memory tells me it was someone called Sunny. Perhaps there's more than one version Shock[/quote]
Can't remember who sang it. It's a truly atrocious song.
Totally worthy of this thread!

shinynewapple2020 · 16/11/2020 19:44

More with the theme

I can't stay on your life support
There's a shortage in the switch

2001

I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good
Without hiding
You must help me if you can

1970s

MrsBrunch · 16/11/2020 19:46

MrsBrunch

Don't know if this one has been done:

1980s I think:

Oh Christ but then later
In the incinerator
Something inside seems to fall asunder

Not trying to be unwelcoming, MrsBrunch, but I didn't recognize your lyrics.

But don't worry if something's been done before, we're on thread 15, they've ALL been done before! (Not that that helps us recognize the lyrics!)

Thanks Flouncer. I didn't realise there was a theme but if I give you a bit more, it kinda fits:

I need to scream every now and again
Try to understand it's only me
Not only cripples have a need for crutches
And if they
Ever take
You away
From me... I'd

Honeyroar · 16/11/2020 19:53

Life support one is Pink, Just like a pill. (Met her too!)

shinynewapple2020 · 16/11/2020 19:54

And another one

So let it ride , yeah let it be
In this old world just you and me
We'll go flying each and every night
Carry your picture on every flight

1970s

shinynewapple2020 · 16/11/2020 19:55

Ooh what was she like @Honeyroar ?
