The wind is moving
But I am standing still
A life of pages
Waiting to be filled
A heart that's hopeful
A head that's full of dreams
But this becoming
Is harder than it seems
Feels like I'm

Looking for a reason
Roaming through the night to find
My place in this world
My place in this world
Not a lot to lean on
I need Your light to help me find
My place in this world
My place in this world

If there are millions
Down on their knees
Among the many
Can you still hear me?
Hear me asking
Where do I belong?
Is there a vision
That I can call my own?
Show me I'm

Looking for a reason
Roaming through the night to find
My place in this world
My place in this world
Not a lot to lean on
I need Your light to help me find
My place in this world
My place in this world
 
I run a comb through my hair
And step out in the street
And the city?s the color of flame
In the mid-summer heat
Oh yeah

Jennifer?s got her daddy?s car,
She?s playing uptown on the stereo
We go cruisin? so close,
The way they did long ago
My darlin?

(turn) turn the radio up for that sweet sound
Hold me close never let me go
(keep) keep this feelin? alive
Make me lose control
Baby, baby

(when) when I look in your eyes, I go crazy
Fever?s high with the lights down low
(so take) take me over the edge
Make me lose control

We put the top down and park ?neath the moon
In the sky
And the wind is so hot in our hair, like a fire in july
Whoa yeah

Jennifer?s singin? stand by me,
And she knows every single word by heart
Was love always this good?
Or could this be just the start?
Whoa darlin?

(turn) turn the radio up for that sweet sound
Hold me close never let me go
(keep) keep this feelin? alive
Make me lose control
Baby, baby

(when) when I look in your eyes, I go crazy
Fever?s high with the lights down low
(so take) take me over the edge
Make me lose control

Be my baby comes on, and were movin? in time
And the heat from your touch makes me feel
Like I?m losing my mind
Whoa yeah

(and then they played) back in my arms again
(we close our eyes) we start rememberin? when
(we start to kiss) and now the feeling?s intense
And we just pray that this night never ends
Wohohoho, my darlin?

(turn) turn the radio up for that sweet sound
Hold me close never let me go
Keep this feelin? alive
Make me lose control
Baaby

When I look in your eyes, I go crazy
Fever?s high with the lights down low
(so take) take me over the edge
Make me lose control
Baby, baby

(turn) turn the radio up for that sweet sound
Hold me close never let me go
(keep) keep this feelin? alive
Make me lose control

When I look in your eyes, I go crazy
Fever?s high with the lights down low

Fixed:

Your butt is wide, well mine is too
Just watch your mouth or I?ll sit on you
The word is out, better treat me right
?cause I?m the king of cellulite
Ham on, ham on, ham on whole wheat, all right

My zippers bust, my buckles break
I?m too much man for you to take
The pavement cracks when I fall down
I?ve got more chins than chinatown

Well, I?ve never used a phone booth
And I?ve never seen my toes
When I?m goin? to the movies
I take up seven rows

Because I?m fat, I?m fat, come on
(fat, fat, really really fat)
You know I?m fat, I?m fat, you know it
(fat, fat, really really fat)
You know I?m fat, I?m fat, come on you know
(fat, fat, really really fat)
Don?tcha call me pudgy, portly or stout
Just now tell me once again who?s fat

When I walk out to get my mail
It measures on the richter scale
Down at the beach I?m a lucky man
I?m the only one who gets a tan
If I have one more pie a la mode
I?m gonna need my own zip code

When you?re only having seconds
I?m having twenty-thirds
When I go to get my shoes shined
I gotta take their word

Because I?m fat, I?m fat, sha mone
(fat, fat, really really fat)
You know I?m fat, I?m fat, you know it
(fat, fat, really really fat)
You know I?m fat, I?m fat, you know it you know
(fat, fat, really really fat)
And my shadow weighs forty-two pounds
Lemme tell you once again who?s fat

If you see me comin? your way
Better give me plenty space
If I tell you that I?m hungry
Then won?t you feed my face

Because I?m fat, I?m fat, come on
(fat, fat, really really fat)
You know I?m fat, I?m fat, you know it
(fat, fat, really really fat)
You know I?m fat, I?m fat, you know it, you know

Woo woo woo, when I sit around the house
I really sit around the house

You know I?m fat, I?m fat, come on

You know, you know, you know, come on

And you know all by myself I?m a crowd
Lemme tell you once again

You know I?m fat, you know, hoo

You know I?m fat, I?m fat, you know it, you know

Just tell me once again who?s fat
 
A chorus from "Heaven" by Bryan Adams (with a slight modification)

Baby you're all that I want
When you're lying here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
You're Eleven
 
(Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto)
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,
Mata ah-oo hima de
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,
Himitsu wo shiri tai

You're wondering who I am-
(Secret secret, I've got a secret)
machine or mannequin
(Secret secret, I've got a secret)
With parts made in Japan,
(Secret secret, I've got a secret)
I am the mod-ren man

I've got a secret
I've been hiding
under my skin.
My heart is human,
my blood is boiling,
my brain I.B.M.
So if you see me
acting strangely,
don't be surprised.
I'm just a man who
needed someone,
and somewhere to hide
To keep me alive-
just keep me alive.
Somewhere to hide
to keep me alive.

I'm not a robot
without emotions-
I'm not what you see.
I've come to help you
with your problems,
so we can be free.
I'm not a hero,
I'm not a saviour,
forget what you know
I'm just a man whose
circumstances
went beyond his control
Beyond my control--
we all need control--
I need control--
we all need control--

I am the modern man,
(Secret secret, I've got a secret)
who hides behind a mask
(Secret secret, I've got a secret)
So no one else can see
(Secret secret, I've got a secret)
my true identity.

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo (domo) domo (domo)
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo (domo) domo (domo)
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto.

Thank you very much, oh Mr. Roboto
For doing the jobs that nobody wants to
And thank you very much, oh Mr. Roboto
For helping me escape just when I needed to
Thank you-
thank you, thank you
I want to thank you,
please, thank you

The problem's plain to see:
too much technology.
Machines to save our lives.
Machines dehumanize.

The time has come at last,
(Secret secret, I've got a secret)
To throw away this mask
(Secret secret, I've got a secret)
Now everyone can see,
(Secret secret, I've got a secret)
My true identity...
I'm Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy.

Sin is an '80s song ONLY by release date.

The album came out in Nov of '89 and I can guarantee you most of the people who adore it today didn't hear note one of it until well into the '90s.

Oh, back on the chain gang...
 
You know I never, I've never seen you look so good
You never act the way you should
But I like it
And I know you like it too
The way that I want you
I've gotta have you
Oh yes I do
I never, I never ever stay out late
You know that I can hardly wait
Just to see you
And I know you cannot wait
Wait to see me too
I've got to touch you
Cause baby we'll be

*At the drive in
In the old man's Ford
Behind the bushes
Til I'm screamin' for more
Down in the basement
Lock the cellar door
And baby...
Talk dirty to me!*

You know I call you, I call you on the telephone
I'm only hopin' that you're home
So I can hear you
When you say those words to me
And whisper so softly
I've gotta hear you
Cause baby we'll be

*Chorus*

C.C. Pick a bad guitar, and-a-talk to me, yeah

Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!

Cause baby we'll be

At the drive in
In the old man's Ford
Behind them, bushes
Til I'm screamin' for more, more, more!
Down in the basement
And lock the cellar door
And baby, talk dirty to me, yeah
And baby, talk dirty to me......yeah
And baby...
Talk dirty to me

Uh!
Whoo!
That's the way I like it, baby
Ooh, yeah
 
Darken the city night is awire steam in the subway earth is afire
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
Woman you want me give me a sign and catch my breathing even closer behind
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do

In touch with the ground I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Smell like I sound I'm lost in a crowd and I'm hungry like the wolf
Straddle the line in discord and rhyme I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Mouth is alive with juices like whine and I'm hungry like the wolf

Stalked in the forest too close to hide I'll be upon you by the moonlight side
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
High blood drumming on your skin it's so tight you feel my heat I'm just a moment behind
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do

In touch with the ground I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Scent and a sound I'm lost and I'm found and I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line it's discord and rhyme I howl and I whine I'm after you
Mouth is alive all running inside and I'm hungry like the wolf

Hungry like the wolf, hungry like the wolf, hungry like the wolf

Burning the ground I break from the crowd I'm on the hunt I'm after you
I smell like I sound I'm lost and I'm found and I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line it's dicord and rhyme I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine and I'm hungry like the wolf
Burning the ground I break from the crowd I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Scent and a sound I'm lost and I'm found and I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line it's discord and rhyme I howl and I whine I'm after you
Mouth is alive all running inside and I'm hungry like the wolf
 
I made it through the wilderness
Somehow I made it through
Didn't know how lost I was
Until I found you

I was beat incomplete
I'd been had, I was sad and blue
But you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
Shiny and new

Chorus:

Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
When your heart beats (after first time, "With your heartbeat")
Next to mine

Gonna give you all my love, boy
My fear is fading fast
Been saving it all for you
'Cause only love can last

You're so fine and you're mine
Make me strong, yeah you make me bold
Oh your love thawed out
Yeah, your love thawed out
What was scared and cold

(chorus)

Oooh, oooh, oooh

You're so fine and you're mine
I'll be yours 'till the end of time
'Cause you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
I've nothing to hide

(chorus)

Like a virgin, ooh, ooh
Like a virgin
Feels so good inside
When you hold me, and your heart beats, and you love me

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ooh, baby
Can't you hear my heart beat
For the very first time?

I saw them in concert last summer on their Louder, Harder, Faster Tour. What a great show. They still know how to rock out better than any of today's bands.

They don't understand,

Running just as fast as we can,
Holdin' onto one another's hand,
Tryin' to get away into the night,
And then you put your arms around me,
And we tumble to the ground,
And then you say,

The beating of our hearts is the only sound.

This entire thread is invalidated since the dimwit who started it used lyrics from the 60's

"I Think We're Alone Now" was done by Tommy James and the Shondells in 19-freakin-67. It might have been covered in the 80's by Tiffany (and others) and the fact that the Tiffany version stuck in somebodys mind instead of the REAL version is frightening. Who the hell listened to Tiffany except a bunch of 13 year old female mallrats?
 
I get up around seven
Get outta bed around nine
And I don't worry about nothin' no
Cause worryin's a waste of my... time

The show usually starts around seven
We go on stage around nine
Get on the bus about eleven
Sippin' a drink and feelin' fine

Chorus:
We been dancin' with
Mr. Brownstone
He's been knockin'
He won't leave me alone

I used ta do a little but a little wouldn't do
So the little got more and more
I just keep tryin' ta get a little better
Said a little better than before
I used ta do a little but a little wouldn't do
So the little got more and more
I just keep tryin' ta get a little better
Said a little better than before

Chorus

Now I get up around whenever
I used ta get up on time
But that old man he's a real muthafvcker
Gonna kick him on down the line

I bought that tape 3 times in a couple of years after release because I played it out. I also wound up outplaying the CD and had to buy a new one.....LOL

ONE of the best albums/tape/CD of the 80's. 😀

Edited to say: Playing the song now because of your post and it still kicks ass!
 
We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're, no friends of mine

Say, we can go where we want to
A place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind

And we can dance, "dansez"

We can go when we want to
Night is young and so am I
And we can dress real neat from our hats to our feet
And surprise them with a victory cry

Say, we can act if we want to
If we don't nobody will
And you can act real rude and totally removed
And I can act like an imbecile

And say

We can dance, we can dance
Everything's out of control
We can dance, we can dance
We're doing it from pole to pole

We can dance, we can dance
Everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody's taking the chance

Safe to dance
Oh well its safe to dance
Yes it safe to dance

We can dance if we want to
We've got all your life and mine
As long as we abuse it, never going to lose it
Everything will work out right

I say, We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance, and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine

I say, we can dance, we can dance
Everything's out of control
We can dance, we can dance
We're doing it from pole to pole

We can dance, we can dance
Everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody's taking the chance

Well it's safe to dance
Yes it's safe to dance
Well it's safe to dance
Well it's safe to dance
Yes it's safe to dance
Well it's safe to dance
Well it's safe to dance

It's a Safety Dance
Well it's a Safety Dance
Oh it's a Safety Dance
Oh it's a Safety Dance
Well it's a Safety Dance
 
You'll take my life but I'll take yours too
You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through
So when you're waiting for the next attack
You'd better stand there's no turning back.

The bugle sounds and the charge begins
But on this battlefield no one wins
The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
As I plunge on into certain death.

The horse he sweats with fear we break to run
The mighty roar of the Russian guns
And as we race towards the human wall
The screams of pain as my comrades fall

We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
And the Russians fire another round
We get so near yet so far away
We won't live to fight another day.

We get so close near enough to fight
When a Russian gets me in his sights
He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
A burst of rounds take my horse below.

And as I lay there gazing at the sky
My body's numb and my throat is dry
And as I lay forgotten and alone
Without a tear I draw my parting groan
 
I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played it till my fingers bled
Was the summer of 69

Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit, Jody got married
I shoulda known we'd never get far

Oh when I look back now
The summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Yeah I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life

Ain't no use in complaining
When you got a job to do
I spent my evenings down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you

Standing on your momma's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life

Oh yeah... back in the summer of 69

Man we were killing time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothing could last forever
Forever... no

And now the times are changing
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
Think about you wonder what went wrong

Standing on your momma's porch
You told me that it'd last forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my lfe

Oh yeah... back in the summer of 69
Uh huh... it was the summer of 69
Oh yeah... me and my baby in 69
It was the summer, summer, summer of 69

No I don't know where I'm going
But, I sure know where I've been,
Hanging on the promises
In the songs of yesterday,
And I've made up my mind,
I ain't wasting no more time.
Tho' I keep searching for an answer,
I never seem to find what I'm looking for.
Oh Lord, I pray you give me strength to carry on,
'Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams.
And here I go again on my own,
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone.
And I've made up my mind,
I ain't wasting no more time.
I'm just another heart in need of rescue
Waiting on love's sweet charity,
And I'm gonna hold on
For the rest of my days,
'Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams.
And here I go again on my own,
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone.
And I've made up my mind,
I ain't wasting no more time.
But, here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go again.
(Solo)
And I've made up my mind,
I ain't wasting no more time.
And here I go again on my own,
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone.
'Cos I know what it means,
To walk along the lonely street of dreams.
And here I go again on my own,
Going down the only road I've ever known.
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone...

Little child dry your crying eyes
How can I explain the fear you feel inside
Cause you were born into this evil world
Where man is killing man and no one knows just why
What have we become just look what we have done
All that we destroyed you must build again

CHORUS
When the children cry let them know we tried
Cause when the children sing then the new world begins

Little child you must show the way
To a better day for all the young
Cause you were born for all the world to see
That we all can live with love and peace
No more presidents and all the wars will end
One united world under God

CHORUS

What have we become just look what we have done
All that we destroyed you must build again
No more presidents and all the wars will end
One united world under God

When the children cry let them know we tried
When the children fight let them know it ain't right
When the children pray let them know the way
Cause when the children sing then the new world begins

Saying I love you
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
'Cause I'd already know

What would you do if my heart was torn in two?
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away?
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you

More than words.....

Now I've tried to talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands and touch me
Hold me close don't ever let me go
More than words is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
'Cause I'd already know

What would you do if my heart was torn in two?
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away?
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you
More than words.....

I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played it till my fingers bled
Was the summer of 69

Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit, Jody got married
I shoulda known we'd never get far

Oh when I look back now
The summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Yeah I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life

Ain't no use in complaining
When you got a job to do
I spent my evenings down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you

Great White
Once Bitten Twice Shy

Well the times are gettin' hard for you Little girl
I'm a-hummin' and a-strummin' all over God's world
You can't remember when you got your last meal
And you don't know just how a woman feels

You didn't know what rock-n-roll was
Until you met my drummer on a grey tour bus
I got there in the nick of time
Before he got his hands across your state line Yeah

Now it's the middle of the night on the open road
And the heater don't work and it's oh-so-cold
You're lookin' tired You're lookin' kinda beat
The rhythm of the street sure knocks you off your feet

You didn't know how rock-n-roll looked
Until you caught your sister with the guys from the group
Half-way home in the parking lot
By the look in her eye She was giving what she got Said

CHORUS:
My My My I'm once bitten Twice shy Baby
My My My I'm once bitten Twice shy Baby
My My My I'm once bitten Twice shy Baby

Woman You're a mess Gonna die in your sleep
There's blood on my amp and my Les Paul's beat
Can't keep you home You're messin' around
My best friend told me you're the best lick in town

You didn't know that rock-n-roll burned
So you bought a candle and you lived and you learned
You got the rhythm You got the speed
Mama's little baby likes it short and sweet I said

CHORUS:

I didn't know you had a rock-n-roll record
Until I saw your picture on another guy's jacket
You told me I was the only one
But look at you now It's dark and you're gone

CHORUS:

My My My I'm once bitten Twice shy I'm shy So shy
 
holy crap of all those songs listed above I have about 80% of them on my mp3 player right now!

I love the 80s

so here's Belinda Carlisle

Summer Rain
Whispering our goodbyes
Waiting for a train
I was dancing with my baby
In the summer rain
I can hear him saying
Nothing will change
Come dancing with me baby
In the summer rain

I remember the rain on our skin
And his kisses hotter than the
Santa Ana winds
Whispering our goodbyes
Waiting for a train
I was dancing with my baby
In the summer rain

I remember laughing til we almost cried
(There at station that night)
I remember looking in his eyes

Oh my love, it's you and that I dream of
Oh my love, since that day
Somewhere in my heart I'm always
Dancing with you in the summer rain

Doesn't matter what I do now
Doesn't matter what I say
Somewhere in my heart I'm always
Dancing with you in the summer rain

I can hear the whistle
Military train
I was dancing with my baby
In the summer rain
I can here him singing
Ooh "Love Is Strange"
Come dance with me baby
In the summer rain

I remember the rain pouring down
And we poured our hearts out
As the train pulled out
I can see my baby
Waving from the train
It was last time that I saw him
In the summer rain

Every time I see the lightening
Every time I hear the thunder
Every time I close the window
When this happens in the summer
Oh the night is so inviting
I can feel that you are so close
I can feel you when the wind blows
Blows right through my heart

Every night and every day now
Though I know you've gone away
Somewhere in my heart I'm always
Dancing with you in the summer rain
