I probably have so much more but these are all I can think of for now

 

[Myforevercharlie]

Wild boys fallen far from glory
Reckless and so hungered
On the razors edge you trail
Because there's murder by the roadside
In a sore afraid new world
They tried to break us
Looks like they'll try again

I wanted to post something more fun but....
I just discovered this song. So it's new to me. (I think)
I thought this was a Westlife song.... I feel like I used to listen to this like 10 or 15 years ago on one of their CDs.
Maybe it was another Brit Pop band. I did look this band up and they are from down under.
Also looked up Westlife songs.... Couldn't find it. Maybe it just sounds similar to one of their songs.
If anyone knows... Let me know.

Indecent Obsession-Come Back To Me









Cry an everlasting weep
But never losing sleep
Of the dreams that have gone wrong
I'm sure it won't be long before you are here

Oh... before you are here...

Pain they say it all takes time
It hurts if the words don't rhyme
It can tear two worlds apart
And leave but a beating heart

Before you are here...
Oh... before you are here...

Won't you come back to me?
Don't leave me all alone.
My love will be the key that brings you home

Won't you come back to me?
Please don't go away...
My love will be as strong as yesterday...

Leave don't ever fade away
Just think of yesterday
When the love that brought us near
Had the warmth to shed a tear

Oh before you are here...

Won't you come back to me?
Don't leave me all alone.
My love will be the key that brings you home

Won't you come back to me?
Please don't go away...
My love will be as strong as yesterday...

I've been looking...can't find anything from a Britpop / boyband that covered this song...it does sound like it could have been indeed..

Still couldn't find it. I did find a similar boy band US5 with a song Come Back To Me Baby.... Not the same song but good.
I don't know what happened to the Westlife CDs I had to check it out. It must have been similar in lyrics...
I may have to YouTube their music and see if I can find it. I know they did a lot of ballads.

 

[OptingOutSmiling]

Respect - Erasure
Dreaming - OMD
Forever Young - Rod Stewart
Every breath you take - The Police
In the Living Years - Mike & The Mechanics

I definitely wasn't into boybands, but my sister was , so i had the pleasure to know most of the famous ones of the80/ 90's

2 of my favorite Christmas songs... I think I have posted them the last two years.


Mariah Carey -Miss You Most At Christmastime









Dolly Parton-Hard Candy Christmas

Rick Springfield-Human Touch

















Everybody's talking to computers,

They're all dancing to a drum machine

I know I'm living on the outside

Scared of getting caught between

I'm so cool calculated alone in a modern world-uh huh



But Sally has a hard time holding back

The alley to her heart is a beaten track

She's got the love monkey riding on her back



You want love I got it, come on girl



We all need the human touch

We all need the human touch

I need it the human touch

We all need the human touch

We all need it, and I need it too



You know, I got my walls, Sally calls them prison cells

Sometimes I need protection, I've got the chains

I got the warning bells

I sit so snug and isolated, alone in the modern world-uh huh



But Sally has a hard time holding back

The alley to her heart is a beaten track

She's never out of love, yeah she's got the knack

You've got love I want it, come on girl



We all need the human touch

We all need the human touch

I need it the human touch

We all need the human touch

We all need it and I need it to



Human touch

Human touch

Human touch

Human touch

I'm so scared and isolated in the modern world

We all need

We all need the human touch

We all need the human touch

We all need the human touch

I need it the human touch

We all need the human touch

I need it the human touch

We all need it, and I need it too

Human touch

Human touch

Human touch

Human touch

Human touch

I've heard that Bryan Adams did a disco song early in his career...
After some Google, I found out that some producer had a song remixed from a demo (I think)
Apparently he hated it. Every time someone posts it on YouTube, it's removed.
Since I couldn't find his version, I decided to post 2 different versions of it.
I don't think he's a fan of the remakes either.

Metallica-Master Of Puppets








End of passion play, crumbling away

I'm your source of self-destruction

Veins that pump with fear, sucking darkest clear

Leading on your death's construction

Taste me, you will see

More is all you need

Dedicated to

How I'm killing you

Come crawling faster

Obey your master

Your life burns faster

Obey your master, master

Master of puppets, I'm pulling your strings

Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams

Blinded by me, you can't see a thing

Just call my name 'cause I'll hear you scream

Master, master

Just call my name 'cause I'll hear you scream

Master, master

Needlework the way, never you betray

Life of death becoming clearer

Pain monopoly, ritual misery

Chop your breakfast on a mirror

Taste me, you will see

More is all you need

Dedicated to

How I'm killing you

Come crawling faster

Obey your master

Your life burns faster

Obey your master, master

Master of puppets, I'm pulling your strings

Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams

Blinded by me, you can't see a thing

Just call my name 'cause I'll hear you scream

Master, master

Just call my name 'cause I'll hear you scream

Master, master

Master, master

Where's the dreams that I've been after?

Master, master

Promised only lies

Laughter, laughter

All I hear or see is laughter

Laughter, laughter

Laughing at my cries

Fix me!

Hell is worth all that, natural habitat

Just a rhyme without a reason

Never-ending maze, drift on numbered days

Now your life is out of season

I will occupy

I will help you die

I will run through you

Now I rule you too

Come crawling faster

Obey your master

Your life burns faster

Obey your master, master

Master of puppets, I'm pulling your strings

Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams

Blinded by me, you can't see a thing

Just call my name 'cause I'll hear you scream

Master, master

Just call my name 'cause I'll hear you scream

Master, master

Hush little baby don't cry like that
God's gonna buy you a Cadillac
he's chosen you to do his will
you can spread the world in your coupe de ville

so jump in the river and learn to swim
God's gonna wash away all your sins
and if you still can't see the light
God's gonna buy you a satellite

look to the heavens and see it shine
heals the sick and leads the blind
tune it in and hear it say
it's counting down to judgment day

so jump in the river
hey satellite man your time has come
your words received by everyone
and should you fall, well that's OK
you love the ones that you betray

so jump in the river and learn to swim
God's gonna take away all your sins
and when at last you see the light
God's gonna buy you a satellite

The Hooters-And We Danced








Hey-hey!

She was a be-bop baby on a hard day's night
She was hangin' on Johnny, he was holdin' on tight
Oh, I could feel her comin' from a mile away
There was no use talkin', there was nothin' to say
When the band began to play and play
And we danced
Like a wave on the ocean romanced
We were liars in love
And we danced
Swept away for a moment by chance
Yeah, we danced and danced and danced
I met my be-bop baby at the Union Hall
She could dance all night and shake the paint off the wall
But when I saw her smile across a crowded room, yeah
Well, I knew we had to leave the party soon
As the band began to play out of tune
And we danced
Like a wave on the ocean romanced
We were liars in love
And we danced
Swept away for a moment by chance
Yeah, we danced and danced and danced
Yeah
And we danced
The endless beat, she's walkin' my way
Hear the music fade when she says
Are we gettin' too close? Do we dare to get closer?
The room is spinnin' as she whispers my name
And we danced
Like a wave on the ocean romanced
We were liars in love
And we danced
Swept away for a moment by chance
Yeah, we danced and danced
And we danced
Like a wave on the ocean romanced
We were liars in love
And we danced
Swept away for a moment by chance
Yeah, we danced and danced, danced, danced
Danced, danced, danced, danced, danced, oh! (Whoa!)
And we danced
And we danced
(Hey, oh!)
And we danced
(C'mon baby!)
And we danced, danced, danced, danced
Danced
, danced, danced, danced, danced (hey!)
Yeah
Oh, and we danced

DJ Lisa V-80's Fix Mix

Stumbled across this earlier.... I don't know every song (Some may have been club hits?)
But I think it's good

 

[Myforevercharlie]

( cheating, this song is much older...but love it)



Dirty old river, must you keep rolling
Flowing into the night?
People so busy, make me feel dizzy
Taxi light shines so bright
But I don't need no friends
As long as I gaze on
Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise

Every day, I look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is the evening time
Waterloo sunset's fine (Waterloo sunset's fine)

Terry meets Julie
Waterloo station
Every Friday night
But I am so lazy, don't want to wander
I stay at home at night

But I don't feel afraid
As long as I gaze on
Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise

Every day, I look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is the evening time
Waterloo sunset's fine (Waterloo sunset's fine)

Millions of people swarming like flies 'round
Waterloo underground
But Terry and Julie cross over the river
Where they feel safe and sound
And they don't need no friends
As long as they gaze on
Waterloo Sunset
They are in paradise
Waterloo sunset's fine (Waterloo sunset's fine)
Waterloo sunset's fine
