80s Lyrics — The Return!!!!!

[cheesy80s]

Ah...my last 80s lyric post went on quite a roll. We had lots of fun. But apparently, older posts get stuffed to the bottom, and fewer and fewer people see 'em.

So to freshen the posts a bit, I'm restarting the name that 80s tune.

Basically, read the lyric posted, guess the song, and then leave your own. It's a great way to remember the days when you considered poofed hair and jean jackets with a Kix patch a cool thing.


So, let me start the ball rolling:

"Phone rings in the middle of the night, my daddy yells what you gonna do with your life? Oh daddy dear, you know you're still number one....."

"Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper.

Now this is a thread that's about my speed! Let's see...

Every day when I sleep at night, I can only dream in red
The outside world is black & white with only
one color dead...

I am listening to an old 80's tune by Queen on the radio now called "Tie Your Mother Down"...this one is funny--here are the lyrics.

Get your party gown and get your pigtail down
And get your heart beatin' baby
Got my timin' right I got my act all tight

It's gotta be tonight
My little school babe
Your momma says you don't
And your daddy says you won't
And I'm boilin' up inside
Ain't no way I'm gonna lose out this time

Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Lock your daddy out of doors
I don't need him nosin' around
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Give me all your love tonight

'You're such a dirty louse go get outa my house'
That's all I ever get from your family ties
In fact I don't think I ever heard
A single little civil word from those guys
I don't give a light
I'm gonna make out all right
I've got a sweetheart hand
To put a stop to all that
Snipin' and grousin'

Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Take your little brother swimmin'
With a brick that's all right
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Or you ain't no friend of mine

Your momma and your daddy
Gonna plague me till I die
I can't understand it
'Cause I'm a peace lovin' guy
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Get that big big big big big big
Daddy out the door
Tie your mother down yeah
Tie your mother down
Give me all your love tonight
All your love tonight

I've got no idea.....

Baby, it's all I know
That you're half of the flesh
and blood makes me whole.....

This time may be the last I fear
unless I make it all to clear
I need you so...oh oh oh ooooh.....

Broken Wings K'lee ?

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

Warrant--Heaven

Try this one...one of my faves and should be easy.

The clothes she wears, the sexy ways,
Make an old man wish for younger days.
She knows she's built and knows how to please.
Sure enough to knock a man to his knees...

Brickhouse Commodores lol

Sometimes I feel I've got to...
Run away I've got to...
Get away...
From the pain that you drive into the heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my light
For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night

Tained Love - SoftCell


"there's a story in my eyes
turn the pages of desire
now it's time to trade those dreams
for the rush of passion's fire
I can feel you tremble when we touch
I can feel the hands of fate
reaching out to both of us...."

I Can't Hold Back Survivor

I was dreamin' when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this mornin'
Coulda sworn it was judgment day
The sky was all purple,
there were people runnin' everywhere
Tryin' 2 run from the destruction,
U know I didn't even care

Dang--wasn't intending to thwart everyone so early in the thread! My contri was from "Biko" by Peter Gabriel...

"1999" by Prince.

My next contri:

You're havin' a hard time and lately you don't feel so good
You're gettin' a bad reputation in your neighborhood
It's alright, it's alright, don't let your heart break
You're only human, you're bound to make your share of mistakes

You're Only Human (Second Wind)--Billy Joel

Try this...(ACK--Miami Vice Flashback!)

The sun goes down, the night rolls in
You can feel it starting all over again
The moon comes up and the music calls
You're gettin' tired of starin' at the same four walls

You're out of your room and down on the street
Movin' through the crowd and the midnight heat
The traffic crawls, the sirens scream
You look at the faces, it's just like a dream
Nobody knows where you're goin'
Nobody cares where you've been

You Belong to the Night Glenn Frey


I found a picture of you, oh
What hijacked my world that night
To a place in the past
We've been cast out of, oh
Now we're back in the fight

The Pretenders- Back on the Chain Gang

New lyrics

I read your mind, with no intentions
Of being unkind, I wish I could explain
It all takes time, a whole lot of patience
If it's a crime, how come I feel no pain.

Europe Final Countdown

When you get so down that you can't get up
And you want so much but you're all out of luck
When you're so downhearted and misunderstood
Just over and over and over you could

ELO--Hold On Tight

Try this...

Wait a minute baby
Stay with me awhile
Said you'd give me light
But you never told me about the fire

Drownin', in the sea of love
Where everyone would love to drown
But now it's gone, it doesn't matter what for
So when you build your house, then call me home

Sara Fleetwood Mac

I sit here on the stairs
'Cause I'd rather be alone
If I can't have you right now
I'll wait, dear
Sometimes I get so tense
But I can't speed up the time
But you know, love
There's one more thing to consider

Patience--Guns N Roses

try this...

Riding on the range,
I've got my hat - on,
I've got my boots - dusty.

I've got my saddle
On my horse.
He's called....T-t-t-t-t-trigger
Of course.

I Wanna Be a Cowboy Boys Don't Cry

new lyrics

With a boulder my shoulder,
feeling kinda older,
I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasin', sneezin' and wheezin,
the calliope crashed to the ground

I will give some a chance to see if they can get it and if not I will tell.

Went to a party last Saturday night
Didn't get laid
Got in a fight...
