🎵 80s (or thereabouts) song lyrics thread 38 ⭐

[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.

Are there any left?

Most of mine are still up to be guessed. Only Scritti Politti and Flock of Seagulls have been guessed.
*sorry I forgot to number them!

Is this the one that the chorus goes
I go to sleep... sleep and imagine that you're there
With me

Sung by a woman, don't know her name.

Loved that song

I don't think this is right...

But erasure? Sometimes????

The others aren't speaking to me just now.

But lovely having some lyrics to guess again. It's been a while.

Thank you coffee (although I was too late for yours) and honey.

Evening all.

I break up on Friday, so I might get some lyrics up over the weekend

Billy Idol, Eyes without a face

I used to love that song!

You’ve pretty much got the title, just need the group.

No not that one. It was guessed - Flock of Seagulls

Correct Flea. Well done, I thought that would be a tough one, that’s why I did a few lines.

Doh!!

Of course it was.

Rogue can you guess the -

I spy with my little eye
something beginning with S

That one is really bugging me

It’s whispered at the beginning of the song….

Might have missed any guesses but I'm going for Save a Prayer ('til the morning after) by Duran Duran

Correct!👏

<looks sternly at Rogue and Shiny!>

Oh dear Honey! Should have got that one !

I go to sleep is the pretenders .

I spy with my little eye
something beginning with S

The Cure - Lullaby

Just asked my husband, he's much better at this than me.

Oh, the shame!

Oh the shame again.

In my defence, I'm having a fucker of a week.

However......

Just asked my husband, he's much better at this than me.

Could someone please explain to @Itsagrandoldteam about the admittedly rather dusty spreadsheet before Rogue EXPLODES

Correct. So you’ve redeemed yourself a little, oh shiny sea person.

Correct! 😀

No. It’s entertaining when you explode! And you’ve got to stage a distraction for your shame!

I thought this thread needed reviving - it's been a while .

All 80s

(1). One day he'll build a statue with his hands
So gentle when he tries to understand
This subterfuge he never really planned

(2). It's on the front page of the papers
This is their hour of need
Where's a policeman when you need one

(3). Promise me just one more night
Then we'll go our separate ways

(4). Those who play the power game
They take the profits, you take the blame
When they tell you there's no rise in pay

(5). On the table, signs of love lies scattered
And the walls break, with a crashing within

(6). With your avenger eyes
And your catlike ways
I can hold you
You are a fool

(7) She lost her virtue before she could write
I lost mine too, on my very first night with you
You'll have to guide me, these impossible schemes

No 7 is Belouis Some, imagination
