ISO 80s lyrics - The challenge

[Horny Hippie Girl]

Since Yesterday by Strawberry Switchblade



Rat tailed Jimmy is a second hand hood
He deals out in Hollywood
Got a '65 Chevy primered flames
Traded for some powdered goods
Jigsaw Jimmy he's runnin' a gang
But I hear he's doin' O.K.
Got a cozy little job, sells the Mexican mob
Packages of candycaine

Dr. Feelgood -- Motley Crue (I love Tommy Lee!)

New Lyrics:

Oh it's so funny to be seeing you after so long, girl
And with the way you look, I understand that you are not impressed.
But I heard you let that little friend of mine
Take off your party dress.

I'm not gonna get too sentimental
Like those other sticky valentines,
'cause I don't know if you are loving somebody.
I only know it isn't mine.

 

[islander01]

Oh it's so funny to be seeing you after so long, girl

Alison- Elvis Costello


Taint no big thing to wait for the bell to ring
Taint no big thing a tone of the bell
aggravated, spare for days
I troll downtown where the red light plays

 

[rosylady]

Love Is A Drug


Don't know by who


Some really obscured, hardly ever heard of songs being posted here.

Did anyone find out what that song by amnesia is?

New Lyrics~

I have my own life...
and I am stronger than you know
But I carry this feelin'...when you walked into my house
That you won't be walkin' out the door

 

[Jonnyray]

For the DC/VA/MDers

Anybody remember

"A teardrop
There's no rainbow
No light shines through the dark
The sun don't rise
And stars don't shine
Through the tears of a broken heart

I'm young and dreams are for taking
I've got to be free
Losing you memories awaken
I think that freedom is what I need..."

 

[Barkley]

That is a tough one, I don't have a clue. Rosylady, yours was Leather and lace, by Don Henley and Stevie Nicks. That is maybe my favorite song ever.


" I know the neighborhood, and talk is cheap when the story is good, and the tales growin taller on down the line'
They say you got a boyfriend, your out late every weekend" and I don't want you around."

I know Rosy will know that one !

Is it Take it on the Run ~ REO Speedwagon??

New Lyrics~ Got a picture of your house
And you're standing by the door
It's black and white and faded
And it's looking pretty worn

See the factory that I worked
Silhouetted in the back
The memories are gray,
But man they're really coming back

ooops must have been posting at the same time.

In a Big Country--Big Country


New lyrics--

Where you goin', what you looking for?
You know those boys don't want to play no more with you
It's true

You're motoring
What's your price for flight,
And finding Mister Right?
You'll be all right tonight

Babe, you know you're growing up so fast
And momma's worrying that you won't last to say
Let's play

He moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried and sang along and who'd blame them
Now you're grown, so grown, now I must say more than ever

Who started the fire???

We didn't start the fire....Billy Joel.

Okay...here's my input for the day.

And I truely don't know who sings this song, so hopefully someone can help me out. P.S. It may be 70s instead of 80s.......

"I remember finding all about you. Everyday my mind is all about you. Looking out of my lonely room, day after day....."

Day after Day by Badfinger


New lyrics...(somewhat obscure)

Caroline laughs and
It's raining all day
She loves to be one of the girls
She lives in the place
In the side of our loves
Where nothing is
Ever put straight
She turns herself round
And she smiles and she says
'This is it'
'That's the end of the joke'
And loses herself
In her dreaming and sleep
And her lovers walk
Through in their coats

Pretty In pink By The Psychedelic Furs

Mine is going to be tough, but it was a single and was even performed on AMerican Bandstand

my baby took our love
and then she rolled it up
rolled it up a hill
like a ball of snow
like a snowball grows
until it gets too big
until she lost control
and it rolled back down
and it rolled back down
and it rolled back down
and it rolled back down

Can I buy a vowel?

 

[Gabbagabba138]

I'll give two: E and O and there are only two other letters, but only because I've always thought you were pretty hot.

Snowball by Devo


Next set....
We've got the right to choose it
There ain't no way we'll lose it
This is our life, this is our song

We'll fight the powers that be just
Don't pick our destiny 'cause
You don't know us, you don't belong

It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing

When You Say Nothing At All--Ronan (?) Hope that is correct.

Next set...

Another Saturday, another date.
She would be ready but she'd always make them wait.
In the hallway, in anticipation,
He didn't know the night would end up in frustration.
He'd end up blowing all his wages for the week
All for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek.

The Kinks- Come Dancing


Sitting with my empty glass.
My four walls
Follow me through my past
I was on a Paris train
I emerged in London rain,
And you were waiting there
Swimming through appologies.

Riding on the metro

Yep.....that's Riding on the Metro....
