ISO 80s lyrics - The challenge

[Anna Leigh]

Don't Dream It's Over--Crowded House

Another...(one hit wonder)

So much for your promises
They died the day you let me go
Caught up in a web of lies
But it was just too late to know
I thought it was you
Who would stand by my side

shattered dreams-johnny hates jazz

how can i convince you, what you see is real
who am i to blame you for doubting what you feel
i was always reaching, you were just a girl i knew
i took for granted the friend i have in you

Survivor--The Search Is Over.

Another...

I don't bother chasing mice around
I slink down the alley looking for a fight
Howlin' to the moonlight on a hot summer night
Singin' the blues while the lady cats cry
Wild stray cat you're a rebel gone guy
I wish I could be as carefree and wild
But I got cat class and I got cat style

Stray Cats...Hmm, I think it's just called Stray Cat Shuffle.

 

[alwaysawake]

Stray Cats...Hmm, I think it's just called Stray Cat Shuffle.

Yup...close--Stray Cat Strut...you knew it!

 

[redelicious]

Yup...close--Stray Cat Strut...you knew it!

Yeah, that was pretty close!

Ok, here is one last set before bed...

Aint there something I can give you
In exchange for everything you give to me
Read my mind and make me feel just fine
When I think my peace of mind is out
of reach

 

[Violette]

Giving you the best that I got By Anita Baker

Here's mine:

Here I am in silence, looking down without a clue.
I find myself alone again, all alone with you.
I can see behind your eyes, the things that I don't know.
If you hide away from me, how can our love grow?

What's On Your Mind--Pure Energy


Another...

I feel hungry it's a hunger
That tries to keep a man awake at night
Are you the answer I shouldn't wonder
When I can feel you whet my appetite
With all the power you're releasing
It isn't safe to walk the city streets alone
Anticipation's running through me
Let's find the keys and turn the engine on.

I can feel you breathe
I can feel your heart beat faster.

 

[cheesy80s]

Just like Ronnie says.....

I can feel your heart beat faster.

"Take Me Home Tonight" by Eddie Money

Okay, here's mine......rock on!!!!!

"Such tender eyes, such a sweet believer. The story never lies. When I found you girl, you were so far down, a black cat in disguise. How in the world could it come to this? Couldn't you see that you've gone too far. Saving your soul for that one last kiss. Living your wish upon a star...."

Madalaine--Winger

Another...(Sappy, but I still like it)

I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted, (and) my arms are open wide
'Cause you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much, I love you ...

I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again how much I care
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow...

Lionel Richie "Hello"

 

[alwaysawake]

Lionel Richie "Hello"

That's it...I still remember the video for this done with the gorgeous blind lady.

 

[VincentFloyd]

"Off the Florida Keys there's a place called *****
That's where you wanna go to get away from it all
Bodies in the sand, tropical drink melting in your hand
We'll be falling in love to the rhythm of a steel drum band"

Kokomo--Beach Boys


another....

Somebody somewhere
In the heat of the night
Looking pretty dangerous
Running out of patience

Tonight in the city
You won't find any pity
Hearts are being twisted
Another lover cheated, cheated

Here's one:

Blood races to your private spots…it lets me know there's a fire… you can't fight passion when passion is hot…temperature rise inside…

Sugar Walls--Sheena Easton


Another...(Hot Music Video)

See them walking hand in hand
Across the bridge at midnight
Heads turning as the lights flashing out
Are so bright
And walk right out to the four line track
There's a camera rolling on her back
On her back
And I sense a rhythm humming in a frenzy
All the way down her spine...
(next lyric is the song title)

 

[KindaKinky]

Guitar riff and everybody sing…

"Girls on Film" by Duran Duran

Ironic response:

Not a word from your lips
you just took for granted that
I want to skinny dip
A quick hit, that's your game
well, I'm not a piece of meat,
stimulate my brain.

night is young, so are we
let's get to know each other better
slow and easily
take my hand and let's hit the floor,
shake your body to the music ,
maybe then you'll score.

Monkeys and Ronald Reagan

I won't be coming home tonight. My generation will put it right....
we're not just making promises that we know we'll never keep.

Good tune...Genesis--Land Of Confusion


another...(Should be fairly easy)

First when there's nothing
but a slow glowing dream
that your fear seems to hide
deep inside your mind.

All alone I have cried
silent tears full of pride
in a world made of steel,
made of stone.

The correct answer was We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off By Jermaine Stewart

how about this:

Bet you make a fool run,
bet you know how
to make it last forever.
But you know I'm never really sure
if you're just kissing to be clever.

God, I "miss" this group! (Sorry, had to say it!)

"Miss Me Blind" by Culture Club

Now it's my turn:


She wears a long fur coat of mink
Even in the summertime
Everybody knows from her coy little wink
The girl's got a lot on her mind

She's got big thoughts, big dreams
and a big brown Mercedes sedan
But I think this girl, what she really wants
is to be in love with a man...

Glamorous Life--sheila E?

 

[alwaysawake]

New set...

I see your face every time I dream
On every page, every magazine
So wild so free so far from me
You're all I want, my fantasy

Oh!
Look what you've done to this rock'n'roll clown
Oh Oh!
Look what you've done
