ISO 80s lyrics - The challenge

[cheesy80s]

Expose December....si?



Here's mine:

We had 80 feet of waterline, nicely making way.
From a noisey bar in Avalon I tried to call you.
But on a midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away......

Southern Cross--Crosby, Stills, and Nash

New one...
(first lyric left out since it is the title of the song)

....We can watch the working girls go by
Watch the "basket people" walk around and
mumble
And stare out at the auburn sky
There's an old man there from the Old World
To him, it's all the same
Calls all his customers by name...

 

[Shazza]

Sunset Grill, Don Henley

Sunset Grill, Don Henley

Correct...

Here's one more--

You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
When I met you
I picked you out, I shook you up, and turned you around
Turned you into someone new
Now five years later on you've got the world at your feet
Success has been so easy for you
But don't forget it's me who put you where you are now
And I can put you back down too

 

[redelicious]

But don't forget it's me who put you where you are now
And I can put you back down too

Don't you want me...human league (lol, I almost posted these myself the other day)

Ok, brb with more.

 

[redelicious]

Ok then

new lyrics (might be 1990):



Worlds are turning and we're just hanging on
Facing our fear and standing out there alone
A yearning, and it's real to me
There must be someone who's feeling for me

Steve Winwood--Higher Love (Love that song)

Heres another set--(Not sure if it from the 80's or late 70's--favorite song of mine)

Heartless challenge
Pick your path and I'll pray

Wake up in the morning
See your sunrise -- loves -- to go down
Lousy lovers -- pick their prey
But they never cry out loud

Did she make you cry
Make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love
Is it over now -- do you know how
Pick up the pieces and go home.

Sounds like "Gold Dust Woman" - Stevie Nicks

Here's the next one (I love the 80s tunes )

~Lyrics~

I remember we learned about love
In the back of a Chevrolet
It felt so good to be young
Feels like yesterday

Looks like Night Ranger--When You Close Your Eyes


Here's another set--(should be easy...one of my fave long trip driving songs)

One foot on the brake and one on the gas, hey!
Well, there's too much traffic, I can't pass, no!
So I tried my best illegal move
Well, baby, black and white come and touched my groove again!

Gonna write me up a 125
Post my face wanted dead or alive
Take my license, all that jive...

Sammy Hagar "I Can't Drive 55"

ok here's one...

I keep looking for something I can't get
Broken hearts, they're all around me
And I don't see an easier way to get out of this
Her diary sits by the bedside table
The curtains are closed, the cat's in the cradle
Who would have thought that a boy like me could have come to this

I Just Died In Your Arms Tonite ~ Cutting Crew



here's one for ya...

you can see the summit but you can't reach it
its the last piece of the puzzle but you just can't make it fit
doctor says you're cured but you still feel the pain
aspirations in the clouds makes your hopes go down the drain
and you want her, and she wants you
we want everyone

Howard Jones--No One Is To Blame

Here's another...

Got motion, restrained emotion
I been driving, Detroit leaning
No reason, just seems so pleasing
Gonna make you, make you, make you notice

Gonna use my arms, gonna use my legs
Gonna use my style, gonna use my sidestep
Gonna use my fingers, gonna use my my my imagination

Brass In Pocket ~ The Pretenders

My heart is old it holds my memories
My baby burns agem like flame
Somewhere between the soul and soft machine
Is where I find myself again

Kyrie--Mister Mister

Have a great Easter...gotta go soon too and make the side dishes for dinner!

Here's some more--

We been living together for a million years
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
But now it feels so strange out in the atmospheres
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
And then the jukebox plays a song I used to know
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
And now I'm staring at the bodies as they're dancing so slow
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh

CHORUS

Now I wind up staring at an empty glass
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
Cause it's so easy to say that you'll forget your past
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh

The Break Up Song ~ Greg Kihn Band

 

[MsMuffet]

...I try so hard not to get upset
because I know all the trouble I’ll get
oh, he tells me tears are something to hide
and something to fear
and I try so hard to keep it inside
so no one can hear...

Voices Carry--Til Tuesday

Another set...

They put a parking lot on a piece of land
Where the supermarket used to stand.
Before that they put up a bowling alley
On the site that used to be the local pally.
That's where the big bands used to come and play.
My sister went there on a Saturday.

Heehee

Ok, let me think a bit...

brb

 

[redelicious]

new lyrics:

Billy left his home with a dollar in his pocket and a head full of dreams.
He said somehow, some way, it's gotta get better than this.
Patti packed her bags, left a note for her momma, she was just seventeen,
there were tears in her eyes when she kissed her little sister goodbye.

Here's another (can't believe I am doing this one!)

I took my baby to the doctor
With a fever, but nothing he found
By the time this hit the street
They said she had a breakdown
Someone's always tryin' to start my baby cryin'
Talkin', squealin', lyin'
Sayin' you ...(Next lyric is the song title)
