Second 80's lyrics list - Name these songs
Bill van Heerden
Below are another 223 lines from 1980s pop music songs. Try to
identify the song and artist for each. No two songs are by the
same artist, and all were released between 1980 and 1989.
Furthermore, none of these artists appeared on the first list of
223 songs (if you've forgotten, or never saw the first list, it
will also be posted). Note: Soloists, duets and groups are all
counted as different performers. That is, Phil Collins, Genesis
and any duet with Collins would be counted as three different
entries.
1. I'm like a boy among men, I'd like a permanent friend
2. We lied about each others' drinks
3. Every time your shoe hits the avenue
4. The canvas can do miracles
5. From the very very young to the very very old
6. Got to concentrate, don't be distractive
7. We started dancing and love put us into a groove
8. I'm falling down a spiral, destination unknown
9. There's a peak on every mountain, a shore for every sea
10. We got doctors, lawyers, politicians too
11. All your joys and all your sorrows, your todays and your tomorrows
12. Moonlight, you're just a heartache in disguise
13. June feels like December 'cause I'm out here all alone
14. Ain't got no girl to make me smile
15. You put me down and say I'm going nowhere
16. All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi
17. Though you're miles and miles away, I see you every day
18. I'll be your sugar in the morning and the sweet stuff you need at night
19. The winds of change are always blowing
20. That's what my heart yearns for now
21. Me and Romeo ain't never been friends
22. If I only could make a deal with God
23. She rolled over Beethoven and gave Tchaikovsky back
24. Think I remember, but it's twice as good
25. Revelations and rumors begin to fly
26. I got twenty-four hours to live
27. The girls say "God, I hope he comes back soon"
28. It's a romantic vision of me and you
29. You look so absurd, you look so obscene
30. The bastards hung me in the spring of '25
31. The Hollywood squares are living in Disneyland
32. As we stroll along together
33. Whether your sunglasses are off or on, you only see the world you make
34. Okay, doors... swing
35. Yellow is the color of sun rays
36. Well, beat the drum and hold the phone, the sun came out today
37. Dancing in the dark to the radio of love
38. You've got the body, and I've got the brain
39. Crank up the Beach Boys, baby
40. I cry just a little when I think of letting go
41. To the tired and weary, there's no escape
42. I try to discover a little something to make me sweeter
43. Let the rebels begin, let the fire be started
44. I turned to a stranger just like a friend
45. Chewin' my tobacco
46. I put two and one together, and you know that's not an even sum
47. Hasta la vista, baby
48. I don't wanna be here no more
49. I'd wrestle with a lion and a grizzly bear
50. It started with a little kiss like this
51. That's were you belong, in my arms, baby, yeah
52. Why don't you be a man about it
53. If that's your best, your best won't do
54. I met your children, what did you tell them?
55. All alone I'm reaching out even though I know it's wrong
56. And everyone gives everything
57. You don't need experience to turn me out
58. It's in your face but you can't grab it
59. In a computer fairyland
60. I've got this feeling that won't subside
61. Straightenin' the curves, flattenin' the hills
62. I won't be fooled by a cheap cinema trick
63. It was fun for a while, there was no way of knowing
64. Give me hope for the children, give me a worldwide religion
65. What will become of the restless kind
66. Now I realize my heart was telling me lies
67. Won't you come out and play with me
68. Twas my lucky fun day
69. You're going to get what you deserve
70. Don't try to give her that worn out excuse about being tired and working late
71. It's where you go when you're in danger
72. You should've been gone
73. You know you got me spellbound, what else could it be
74. The second kiss had a twist
75. I play my hand, you call my bluff
76. You were holding hands and I'll never be the same
77. I must have been pretty low
78. I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo
79. She said her name was Victory
80. How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat
81. I gotta wait here for your moon to turn blue
82. I was your hero and you were my leading lady
83. And he keeps his pockets full of spending loot
84. Deny their candy, I laugh right at them
85. And the world will be a better place
86. I been seekin', I been searchin'
87. If you'd stay, I'd subtract twenty years from my life
88. Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes
89. Everybody's glorybound
90. A second once in a lifetime may be too much to ask
91. Just a pinch between your cheek and gums
92. Keep on whispering in my ear
93. The city's aflame in the summertime
94. Now I know I'm one of the lonely people
95. All that scratchin' is making me itch
96. From my heart and from my hands
97. Well, my name's John Lee Pettimore
98. I'll sacrifice tomorrow just to have you here today
99. I know you're just sixteen but looking all of twenty-one
100. When I look into your eyes, sweet child
101. You don't even know how to say goodbye
102. The only time I turn it down is when I'm sleepin' it off
103. She gave me laughter and hope and a sock in the eye
104. Kick it out, Leroy
105. Everything about you tells me I'm your man
106. Eyes that look like heaven, lips like cherry wine
107. Top of the list, king of the hill
108. I took it so high, so low
109. I felt a little tired, so I watched "Miami Vice"
110. Summertime's here, kick the mud off your shoes
111. It's time to let my heart perform
112. But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there
113. I can't mail it in
114. Open up your loving arms, watch out, here I come
115. He's not a man, he's a lovin' machine
116. Your eyes touch me physically
117. Will you visit me please if I open my door
118. You saw Brigadoon
119. You can call me desperate, even say I'm perverted
120. Girl, we've been meant for this since we were born
121. Blessed is the millionaire who shares your wedding day
122. I don't really mind how much you love me... a little is all right
123. Release yourself from misery, there's only one thing gonna set you free
124. If I had money, I tell you what I'd do
125. When the curtains open to the roaring of the crowd
126. You were born with a snake in both of your fists
127. I can't control my fingers, I can't control my toes
128. Need you by my side, there's no need to hide
129. Shadows wash all my cares away
130. Take you to my castle far away
131. It may be naive, but I just want to believe I'm the only one
132. No more lonely nights for me, this is how it's gonna be
133. Happy to have, not to have not
134. Your affection is not what it seems
135. Rich girls, they run after me
136. Wearing next to nothing 'cause it's hot as an oven
137. I think you're stealing something away
138. No one dreams of being a doctor or a lawyer or anything
139. A little birdie told me that you feel the same
140. What to do on a night like this, music's sweet, I can't resist
141. Keep you awake on black coffee and a hard roll
142. This is the only way for me to say I love you
143. I could move out to the left for a while, or I could slide to the right for a while
144. We never miss a chance, we get up and dance
145. Two kinds of people in this world: winners, losers
146. I'm glad you picked up on my telepathy
147. Alone on a platform, the wind and the rain on his sad and lonely face
148. Baby sneezes, mommy pleases, daddy breezes in
149. None of them received a hero's welcome
150. Another footstep where I once walked
151. Not only for a cruise
152. Pay your toll, sell your soul
153. Maximum big surprise she knows something new
154. He always said she was good as gold
155. On Ventura, there she goes
156. I know you won't be satisfied until you do it
157. My little baby sister can do it with me
158. I feel the slap and the sting of the foul night air
159. Talk to me so you can see what's going on
160. I've been making some brave conversation
161. Black lace on sweat
162. Harsh words are spoken, promises are broken
163. You did a very nice job, I really must congratulate you
164. Slow motion, moving you, moving me
165. I turned around when I heard the sound of footsteps on the floor
166. Wearing padded bras, sucking beer through straws
167. And so by the way, I thank you
168. We're a million strong
169. I don't care what you say, you can give it away
170. Coast to coast there's a question everybody's always asking me
171. No one compares to my real gone girl
172. Sadly, the day turns into night
173. Moonshine'll make a man go blind
174. Stand tall, don't think small, don't get your back against the wall
175. When you're down there's just one way to go
176. Is it down to the lake, I fear?
177. God shall strike them down
178. And your eyes, they tell me how much you care
179. I can feel you breathing, I can hear your heart beat faster
180. Just a fool to believe I am anything she needs
181. We're heading for Venus
182. I search for the time on a watch with no hands
183. When I get there, she's got incense, wine and candles
184. But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me
185. Now it's got you, now it's got me
186. Keep me groovin' with some energy
187. If I had to live my life without you near me, the days would all be empty
188. Sometimes the hard times won't leave me alone
189. We don't have the time for psychological romance
190. I wanted you to see devotion
191. You should hurry, you should let her know how you feel
192. When you hypnotize with your eyes
193. I know what I want and I know how to get it
194. Standing there is the man with movie star eyes
195. You take it to me good, just like you know you should
196. But I know when you're gone I'll wish I held on
197. I don't know where I am but I know I don't like it
198. Words are like weapons, they wound sometimes
199. I don't listen to their wasted lines
200. See chameleon lying there in the sun
201. You're lifting me up, never let me down
202. I kept my world protected
203. You got dreams he'll never take away
204. This ain't no technological breakdown
205. There was no way to compromise
206. We bragged of things we'd never done
207. From out of the shadows she walks like a dream
208. I'd hold on to you 'til the mountains crumble flat
209. I'm the one who always makes you laugh until you cry
210. Just get out the way and let the gentleman do his thing
211. Do you remember when we met
212. I grew up and moved away, had to earn my pay
213. When the river was deep, I didn't falter
214. The order came directly from the C.I.A.
215. So many songs we forgot to play
216. Let me take you to the milky way on a holiday
217. Look at the stars now, so far away
218. And how he worshipped the ground she walked
219. Please don't bet that you'll ever escape me
220. Maybe it's the way you touch me with the warmth of the sun
221. Whatever happened to the golden rule
222. Lock your door, she knows where you are
223. Falcon spirals to the ground

I think I know #77. It's a song from the movie The Legend of Billie Jean by
Divynyls (i think i spelled that wrong) i'm not sure of the exact title but i
know there's another line that goes "I must have been desperate" I know this
cuz The Legend of Billie Jean is one of my favorite 80s movies!! #88 in Lady
in Red by Chris de Burgh. #98 is "Seasons Change" i think it's by Expose.
That's all i can think of right now.

One night Frank was on his way home
from work, stopped at the liquor store,
picked up a couple of Mickey's Big Mouths
drank 'em in the car on his way
to the Shell station, he got a gallon of
gas in a can, drove home, doused
everything in the house, torched it,
parked across the street, laughing,
watching it burn, all Halloween
orange and chimney red then
Frank put on a top forty station
got on the Hollywood Freeway

Actually, I think it's "I'm looking for a new love" by Jodie Watley.
