Name the song and the artist! I don't know who to give credit to! I've played on a couple of TTers song lyrics, and always had fun--if you had friends wearing black makeup in the 80's, you may be a little more successful with these! Love you, Kat! 1…. If you twist and turn away If you tear yourself in two again If I could,You know I would If I could,I would Let it go Surrender Dislocate 2. Someone write me a letter I need to know that I'm still alive Someone give me a telephone call I need to hear a human sound Someone open up a door And let me out of this place I've been caged up for oh so long I don't know of I'm living or dying Man, I was bright and happy teen, wasn't I? 3. And fiery demons all dance When you walk through that door Don't say you're easy on me You're about as easy as a nuclear war Cos the dream that strings the road With broken glass for us to hold And I got so far before I had to say 4. But I think that God's Got a sick sense of Humor And when I die I expect to find Him laughing. 5. You hear laughter Cracking through the walls It sends you spinning You have no choice... Following the footsteps Of a rag doll dance We are entranced (ahem, insert song title here) 6. He's got to make his own mistakes And learn to mend the mess he makes He's old enough to know what's right But young enough not to choose it 7. I see you've sent my letters back And my LP records and they're all scratched I can't see the point in another day When nobody listens to a word I say 8. In the silence, I think of you I send a message, and I hope it gets through Think of the distance Think of the miles All of the valley's, could take a while I miss the people I miss the fun Your my apparition She's my only one 9. I like the way that they walk And it's chill to hear them talk And I can always make them smile From White Castle to the Nile 10. Good times they come and they go Never going to know What fate is going to blow You're way just hope it feels right Sometimes it comes and it goes You take it ever so slow And then you lose it, then it flows right to you So we rely on the past Special moments that last Were they as tender as we dare to remember Such a fine time as this What could equal the bliss 11. Darkness Imprisoning me All that I see Absolute horror I cannot live I cannot die trapped in myself 12. Across the clouds I see my shadow fly Out of the corner of my watering eye A dream unthreatened by the morning light Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night There's no sensation to compare with this Suspended animation, A state of bliss Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies 13. When I'm out walkin' I strut my stuff Man,I'm so strung out I'm high as a kite and I just might stop to check you out Links to other Thursday Thirteens! I profess for a fifth week my forbidden love of Mr. Linky... |

OMG. Which rock have I been hiding? I do not know a single title of those nice lyrics you've posted.
lol! It's the rock that I lived under in the 80's, not you!
i am thinking i did some serious drugs during the 80s because i can't recall any of these.
please don't tell my kids!
my tt is up
I can't figure out any of those songs, but maybe if I heard them played i could??
Hey- I'm a jen too, I'd like to hear more about your Jen factor theory...
I have found that Jen's make the best friends.
blessings,
Jenny in Ca
Hehe, great list idea :)
Gee, I thought I was a child of the 80s (I was born in 1972), but I don't recognize any of those lyrics. *blush* Great idea for a Thursday Thirteen though. :)
I'm very bad with lyrics only. If I'd hear them, I'd recognize more (I think).
My TT is about witches.
i'm an 80s child, and I don't know any of these. But then I was more of a Duran Duran girl. ;)
I've stumped you all? Admittedly, not all of these were on top 40 radio, but several are still played on the radio today, and Carmen, one of them IS a Duran Duran song!
OMG I suck at this!! Some sound familiar.........
Happy TT!
I only know a few of those, and love the last one listed. My hubby is better at remembering lyrics than I am. ;)
Hmmm, I was a teen in the 80s but I sure as heck don't know any of these. I was really into freestyle though.
I know #13 is Blister in the Sun... but I don't know any of the others off the top of my head. Ack!
i only know some old songs...some new wave...or maybe because there's no audio background so MAYBE i know these songs yet they're just not sinking in because i am just hopeless. i suck at name that lyrics hehe...my TT is up=)
I only know #s 7 and 13.
Can't Stand Losing You by The Police
Blister in the Sun by I have no idea!
GREAT idea for a TT, one that I am like, so totall going to have copy, you know?
Is the Duran Duran one "Union of the Snake"?
Okay, people--we have SEVERAL english bands, one Welsh, one Irish, one Canadian, one Australian, at least one American band, one English-Brazilian mix, I believe...
AHA PLEASE PLEASE TELL ME NOW? IS THERE SOMETHING I SHOULD KNOW? Im usually good at lyrics so Im going back in....
Ok, I'm not sure, but - U2, Pet Shop Boys, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, Siouxsie & the Banshees (and i'm expecting that is the ref to black-makeup and hair-dyed friends) :-), Rush, Police, INXS, Beastie Boys, Sade, Metallica, Pink Floyd, Violent Femmes. . . that would be the artists - my head hurts. I think your next list should be 80s 'one-hit-wonders' - there sure were plenty.
Bwahahaha! Okay, Kat got all but the second one, which was the Alarm.
Thank you for playing, folks!
