80s Song Lyrics Game

[Silly Puddy]

This stuff was pretty popular a while back, so I figure maybe we can try it here. Maybe we can start other threads for other decades.

The rules are simple. I'll put down a song lyric from an 80s "classic", and the first person who gives me the song title and artist goes next. try to make it long enough to be descriptive. We keep going until we get stumped (the Wrestling guys know where these rules came from).

I'll start with a real easy one:


Can't you see me standing here I got my back against the record machine.




I think, therefore I am..............a moron.

Van Halen - Jump

IF this is right, then I have to give the credit to my wife, since she used to sing it in a cappella in college:

Man that was tough, Jim. But my wife thought the line was " I see no REASON to take me home". Anyway, my next one...


Don't let go

this games is neat but lets ad a time limit say 12hrs?

<img src="http://publish.hometown.aol.com/erinmoran01/images/44.jpg" height=127 width=209>

[Silly Puddy]

OK, last hints.

The song was a top 10 hit back in the early-mid 80s. The band was a one-hit wonder, with a female lead singer. On occasion, when the band performed or this song played on the radio, they gave the lead singer's name along with the band (eg: Debbie Harry and Blondie).

Here's the first few lines of the song's first verse(I gave the latter part of verse 2 before):

We walked the loneliest mile
We smile without any style
We kiss all together wrong
No intentions


Hope this helps. I'll give the answer by tomorrow night if nobody gets it.

"only the lonely" by martha davis and the motels

<i>once i had my heroes
once i had my dreams
but all of that is changed now
you turn things inside out
the truth is not that comfortable, no

and mother taught us patience
the virtues of restraint
and father taught us boundaries
beyond which we must go
to find the secrets promised us

that's when i reach for my revolver...</i>

Here is one.
I look around your house you have nothing to steal.
I kick you in the groin and you bend down and kneel and cry.... bloody well cry.

[girl germs]

mine was "mind your own business" by delta 5, a band from england formed in 1978. "mind your own business" was the first single they ever released, and their best selling, too, and also, it was actually released in 1979...so it doesn't even count as an "80's classic".

i have ruined your great lyrics game, but please, do go on...

Why don't we reset and stick to songs from the 80's? At least to keep the game going with less obscure songs.

here is another clue for you all.This goes back to mine from earlier.

Bobby got busted on a narco rap. He beat the rap by ratting on some bikers.

"I know it's dangerous, but it sure beats Rikers."
The next day he got off by the very same bikers.

Jafter: "People Who Died" by the Jim Carroll Band.

"Believe half of what you see, and none of what you hear"

[Silly Puddy]

Sorry, Jafter. I should have gone back to yours. I was just being a jerk because I didn't know it. ;)

Here's some more of mine:

If blood will flow when fresh and steel are one
Drying in the color of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star




I think, therefore I am..............a moron.

Last clue for mine: I can't give the line marked with the X's because in that line is the song's title, but this is the chorus, so I hope someone gets it from that....

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
XXX XXXXXXX XX XXX, XXX XXXXXXX XX XXX

[Arienette]

i believe that's sting, fragile?

next lyric:
"the chances are we've gone too far
you took my time and you took my money
now i fear you've left me standing
in a world that's so demanding"

......................
the moon it leaves silver but never sleep
and then the silver turns to grey
oh, stay with me, arienette, until the wolves are away

[wilee]

That would be True Faith by New Order...

Here's one...

I bought you drinks and brought you flowers
I read you books and talked for hours
Every day, so many drinks such pretty flowers

know your rights -- the clash..

Great tune.

Sitting here in queens.
eating refried beans
We're in all the magazines,
gulping down thorozines.
We ain't got no friends.
Our troubles never end.
Daddy likes men.

That would be Queens' own

Here's one:

And so it was
Our beloved corporate gods
Claimed they created rock
video
Allowing it to sink as low in
one year
As commercial TV has in 25

That's "In the Night" by Bauhaus Arienette.

My Lyrics

I'm on a helicopter ride through Vietnam. I'm the Leicester Square kid I'm superman. I'm putting weight for the Oscar. Man gonna
get through anyway I can. Everywhere everyone is red and green. I gotta lust for glory and a tape machine.

Vegan, I think we're stumped by you again. What is it?


I think, therefore I am..............a moron.

[veganpunk1]

Okay. In the interest of not slowing things down, my lyrics were "Russian Roulette" by Lords of the New Church.

I'll pass on my turn. Lyrics anyone???

[Silly Puddy]

Vegan, I think your musical tastes from the 80s were a lot less "pop"-oriented than many of us. And I think that's great! I consider you, girl germs, and Arienette the best "stumpers" here. I hope all of you keep playing. If nothing else, it enlightens us to some terrific songwriting that went unnoticed by most radio stations in the 80s.

BTW, thanks to all of you guys for making this a popular thread. Over 100 posts and 1000 views! I feel special, just like one of Jerry's kids.

Next, from the wonderful world of crappy pop music (and with this one, crappy is probably too mild);

Oh, things that you say
Yeah, is it life or just a play
My worries away
You're all the things I've got to remember



I think, therefore I am..............a moron.

The Specials - Ghost Town
Prodigy covered that song and that is who I really found out about the original when i heard it.

My lyrics:
And I'm begging to drag you down with me
To kick the last nail in
Yeah I like you in that like I like you to scream

"riding that train high on cocaine
the music is really lousy, the fans are a pain
troubles behind, troubles ahead
the only good deadhead is one that's dead"

That's one of my favorite bands, Bad Religion, Land of Competition.


You'll find a god in every golden cloister
A little flesh, a little history
I can feel an angel sliding up to me


I think, therefore I am..............a moron.

[Silly Puddy]

Here's the first verse of mine (before I gave part of a chorus, though the words in the chorus are not the same every time)

Bangkok, oriental setting
And the city don't know that the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world
In a show with everything but Yul Brynner
Time flies, doesn't seem a minute
Since the Tirolean spa had the chess boys in it
All change, don't you know
That when you play at this level there's no ordinary venue
It's Iceland or the Philippines or Hastings
Or, or this place



I think, therefore I am..............a moron.

[jafter]

Is that one night in bangcok

If so.

We went down to the incubator and 30 minutes later.
You gave birth to a daughter in a year a walker.

Yes, jafter, by Murray Head.

Flesh for Fantasy, by Billy Idol

Here we go again. This should be pretty easy:

I don't know where I'm going
But, I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises
In songs of yesterday
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
