[CoffeeBeansGalore]

Come on in.
Post a few lyrics of a song from 70s, 80s, 90s with the decade & we will try to guess the song & artist.

3 might be called Dance Hall Days, but not sure who by? Wang Chung??

Correct for T'pau. Not Godley and Creme for any of them.

Correct, also Billy Bragg wrote the song, not sure if he had a bit with it.

Hit not bit!

Correct for Alphaville!

Correct for both, Madonna also had a hit with it when she was in the film.

2 Springsteen born in the USA

Correct, should make it easier now!

Not that sorry.

Correct for Bruce Springsteen!

1, 3, 8 and 9 still outstanding.

Correct Rogue and GimmeBiscuits for Prince and Blow Monkeys 👍

None of the outstanding ones are speaking to me. 😖

Why is midge's theme grumpy????

Have just looked up no.9, it wasn't a hit, heard it on the radio the other day. It's by a male, sort of folk, singer songwriter who was married to a female singer songwriter in the 70s.

I can post more lyrics if needed?

Extra lines for no. 1-

I'll give you television
I'll give you eyes of blue

Ahhhh....China Girl, David Bowie

Correct for David Bowie!

Extra for no. 3

Lips are in motion
Ocean to ocean to ocean

Oh!! French kidding in the USA - Debbie Harry.

Correct for French kissing!

James Taylor ?

Correct for James Taylor! The song is called Mexico.

Do you want some more lyrics from mine?

Yes please to more lyrics. Not sure I’ll know it though.

@Honeyroar - some more info. Apparently it was released in 1991. Indie-rock/power pop (according to some).

I've omitted the first line as it includes the song title, but here are some more lyrics:
...
Habit-dashery, needles, spoons and knives
Knuckle-dusters, glass jaws and wooden hearts
Spend your money girls on sprays and lipsticks....
