🎅 80s (or thereabouts) song lyrics thread 40🎄

[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.

Kissing with confidence? Will powers?

Thats correct. Just the thing the songs have in common to get now.

Is the connection around the names of the artists or about the artists themselves ?

Rock well, dire straits, righteous brothers, will powers - could all be part of sentences ? But then I get lost with Peter Gabriel and REM!

They all have famous artists guesting in the song?

Dexter I think it's that as well, the guest singers are not named. Eg Michael Jackson, Sting, Cher etc.

Much better suggestion than mine !

@AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes Correct. All the songs have uncredited vocalists.

Hat tip to @Dexterwontstopfarting for getting very close.

I never knew Kate Bush sang in Games Without Frontiers!!

Time for a few more lyrics I think .

All 80s

(1). It's our last night
Together with our love again
Another light
Before we'll drown in darkness

(2). The one thing that's understood
Is that you can't buy time
But you can sell your soul
And the closest thing to heaven is to rock and roll!

(3). Heaven is closer now today
The sound is in my ears
I can't believe the things you say
They echo what I fear

(4) Morning, afternoon and night
We lay together side by side
Searchin' for lust, searchin' for breath
Searchin' for the touch of life

(5). Please don't start saying that
Or I'll start believing you
If I start believing you
I'll know that

(6) When routine bites hard and ambitions are low
And resentment rides high but emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways, taking different roads

2). The one thing that's understood
Is that you can't buy time
But you can sell your soul
And the closest thing to heaven is to rock and roll!

Aztec Camera
Somewhere In My Heart

3). Heaven is closer now today
The sound is in my ears
I can't believe the things you say
They echo what I fear

Fiction Factory
Feels Like Heaven

Both correct @Dexterwontstopfarting

@Dexterrolledoffthesofa

The others aren’t ringing any bells.

No 8 is kissing with confidence.

Can't remember who sung it.

A woman's name? (Not a group)

(4) Morning, afternoon and night
We lay together side by side
Searchin' for lust, searchin' for breath
Searchin' for the touch of life
