80's music thread

[mx-6*]

Just an idea since I've not posted here much.

Post your favorite 80's song, with or without lyrics.

Right now I'm listening to Depeche Mode It's a question of lust and here are the lyrics.


Fragile
Like a baby in your arms
Be gentle with me
Id never willingly
Do you harm

Apologies
Are all you seem to get from me
But just like a child
You make me smile
When you care for me
And you know

Its a question of lust
Its a question of trust
Its a question of not letting
What weve built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together

Independence
Is still important for us though (we realise)
Its easy to make
The stupid mistake
Of letting go (do you know what I mean)

My weaknesses
You know each and every one (it frightens me)
But I need to drink
More than you seem to think
Before Im anyones
And you know

Its a question of lust
Its a question of trust
Its a question of not letting
What weve built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together

Kiss me goodbye
When Im on my own
But you know that id
Rather be home

Its a question of lust


Post your favorite 80's song. If you hate 80's music you can post elsewhere.

My personal favorite song from the 80's might be something nobody here has heard before.

 

[mx-6*]

Of course, nobody has to post. Just because its my 3am thread doesn't make it anymore important than everyone elses 2PM threads, lol.

It sucks being on the wrong side of the planet.

 

[MrBishop]

..bet it doesn't suck as much as a lot of the 80's music

**Edit: Exceptions:

I know a thing or two about her
I know shell only make you cry
Shell let you walk the street beside her
But when she wants shell pass you by
Everybody says shes lookin good
And the lady knows its understood
Strutter

She wears her satins like a lady
She gets her way just like a child
You take her home and she says maybe, baby
She takes you down and drives you wild

Everybody says shes lookin good
And the lady knows its understood
Strutter

I know a thing or two about her
I know shell only make you cry
Shell let you walk the street beside her
But when she wants, shell pass you by

Everybody says shes lookin good
And the lady knows its understood
Strutter
Strutter

I don't normally say things like this to girls your age but...

Shes got me dizzy, she sees me through to the end
Shes got me in her hands and theres no use in pretending
Christine sixteen, christine sixteen

She drives me crazy, I want to give her all Ive got
And shes hot every day and night, there is no doubt about it

Christine sixteen, christine sixteen

I dont usually say things like this to girls your age, but when I saw you
Coming out of the school that day, that day I knew, I knew, Ive got to have
You, Ive got to have you.

Shes been around, but shes young and clean
Ive got to have her, cant live without her, whoo no
Christine sixteen, christine sixteen

Christine, christine, sixteen, sixteen
Christine, yeah, yeah
So clean, christine, sixteen, sixteen
Christine, yeah, christine, yeah, yeah
Christine, christine, sixteen, sixteen
Christine, yeah, christine, yeah, yeah
Christine, christine, sixteen, sixteen
Christine, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Christine, christine, sixteen, sixteen

No. Love Gun LP, 1977.

Karma inbound for coming to the defense of KISS.

Been doing it since 1974. Second nature by now.

 

[Starya]

I'm not good with remembering what belongs to which era, but.. Google to the rescue.


Oh yes.. I loved this one as a kid:

Forever Young - Alphaville

Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not

Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sad men

Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune
The music's played by the madmen

CHORUS:
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever -- and ever

Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later, they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young?

It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever

So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We'll let them come true

CHORUS

Forever young...

 

[samcurry]

Welcome to the jungle we've got fun and games
We got everything you want honey, we know the names
We are the people that can find whatever you may need
If you got the money honey we got your disease

In the jungle, Welcome to the jungle
watch it bring you to your knees, knees
I wanna watch you bleed

Welcome to the jungle we take it day by day
If you want it you're gonna bleed but it's the price to pay
And you're a very sexy girl that's very hard to please
You can taste the bright lights but you won't get there for free
In the jungle welcome to the jungle
Feel my, my, my serpentine
OOh, I wanna hear you scream
Welcome to the jungle it gets worse here every day
Ya learn to live like an animal in the jungle where we play
If you hunger for what you see you'll take it eventually
You can have everything you want but you better not take it from me


And when you're high you never ever wanna come down
so sown, so down, so down....YEAH

You know where you are?
you're in the jungle baby...you're gonna DIEEE
In the jungle welcome to the jungle
watch it bring you to your knees, knees
In the jungle welcome to the jungle
fell my, my, my serpentine
In the jungle welcome to the jungle
watch it bring you to your knees, knees
In the jungle welcome to the jungle
watch it bring you to you
its gonna bring you down....HA!!

 

[samcurry]

Say your prayers little one
Don't forget, my son
To include everyone

Tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
Till the sandman he comes

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit: light
Enter: night
Take my hand
We're off to never never land

Something's wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of snow white

Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon's fire
And of things that will bite

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit: light
Enter: night
Take my hand
We're off to never never land

Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
Pray the lord my soul to take

Hush little baby, don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beasts under your bed,
In your closet, in your head

Exit: light
Enter: night
Grain of sand

Exit: light
Enter: night
Take my hand
We're off to never never land

We're supposed to go see a GNR tribute band this weekend. I'm a little scared

I re-'acquired' a bunch of 80's music a few weeks ago, and have been bee-bopping around the house ever since.

That's always been one of my faves, Question of Lust. But I definitely can't pick just one. That is unpossible.

 

[samcurry]

post a few then..

 

[Leslie]

When I'm with you baby, I go out of my head
And I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough
All the things you do to me and everything you said
And I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough

We slip and slide as we fall in love
And I just can't seem to get enough

We walk together, we're walking down the street
And I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough
Every time I think of you I know we have to meet
And I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough

It's getting hotter, it's our burning love
And I just can't seem to get enough

I just can’t get enough

And when it rains, you're shining down for me
And I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough
Just like a rainbow you know you set me free
And I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough

You're like an angel and you give me your love
And I just can't seem to get enough

I just can’t get enough

US bombs cruisin' overhead
There goes my love rocket red
Shoot it up....

Blaster bomb bomb bomb ahead
Multi millions still unfed
Amondo teeno givin' head
Shoot it up....

Hold me shake me, I'm all shook up
Psycho maniac interblend, shoot it up
Now shoot it up

Shoot it up....

Teenage crime now fashion's dead
Shoot it up
There goes my love rocket red
Shoot it up
Shoot it up
Shoot it up
Shoot it up

You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)

If I, I get to know your name
Well if I, could trace your private number, baby

All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your lovin' arms
I want some, want some

I set my sights on you
(And no one else will do)
And I, I've got to have my way now, baby

All I know is that to me
You look like you're having fun
Open up your lovin' arms
Watch out here I come

Chorus:

You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round round round
You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round round round

I got to be your friend now, baby
And I would like to move in just a little bit closer

All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your lovin' arms
Watch out, here I come

(Chorus)

I want your love...
I want your love...

All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your lovin' arms
Watch out, here I come

(Chorus)

I want your love...
I want your love...

 

[Leslie]

Damn, there's so much.

I found this and now I'm all remembery and stuff.

 

[Professur]

And now, Leslie, I have to bludgeon you to death. Don't go too far, Sam. I want to have a talk with you too.


I can't say I really had a favorite '80s song. I was busy during the '80s .... listening to the '70s.

love hurts, love scars,
love wounds, and marks,
any heart, not tough,
or strong, enough
to take a lot of pain,
take a lot of pain
love is like a cloud
holds a lot of rain
love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts

I'm young, I know,
but even so
I know a thing, or two
I learned, from you
I really learned a lot,
really learned a lot
love is like a flame
it burns you when it's hot
Love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts

some fools think of happiness
blissfulness, togetherness
some fools fool themselves I guess
they're not foolin' me

I know it isn't true,
I know it isn't true
love is just a lie,
made to make YOU BLUE
love hurts, ooh,ooh love hurts
ooh,ooh love hurts

[Guitar solo]

I know it isn't true,
I know it isn't true
love is just a lie,
made to make YOU BLUE
love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts
ooh ooh love hurts
ooh ooh...




Yeah baby.
