Name that tune 80's style

Recommended Posts

Ok here's a good one:
Not as Mtv as the other ones only a fan will know it.

Im waiting in my cold cell when the bells begin to chyme.
Reflecting on my past life and it doesnt have much time.
cos at 5 oclock they take me to the gallows pole.
The sands of time for me are running low.

Okay, here's another one...
"No one's gonna tell me what's wrong and what's right
Or tell me who to eat with
sleep with
Or foul up on the big fight
big fight.
Look out or they will tell you you're a super star.
Two weeks and you're an all time legend
I think the games have gone much too far.
If the word's unspoken get stuck in your throat..."

>in reference to Major Tom...

That was an earlier version you're thinking of. Peter Schilling did a different song.

"99 knights of the air"

-nena

"I'm not expectin to grow flowers in the desert
but I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime"

-in a big country by big country on the album big country

I think there are three altogether. "Major tom" by david bowie, "major tom/coming home" by peter schilling, and "ashes to ashes" by david bowie again:

"do you remember a guy that's been
in such an early song
i heard a rumour from ground control
oh no, don't say it's true
they got a message from the action man
i'm happy hope you're happy too . . .

ashes to ashes funk to funky
we know major tom's a junky . . ."

everything from the rock-star mullets



Mullets are for real!

I swear I'm not making this up! On my way back from lunch today, an orange Camaro started tailgating me on I-5. I changed lanes to let him pass.

As he went by, I saw it - THE MULLET! FEAR THE MULLET!

In a big country, dreams stay with you, like a lover's voice on a mountain side....SHOT!



Well that would be Big Country by Big Country on Big Country.

How 'bout this one:


The clouds prepare for battle
In the dark and brooding silence
Bruised and sullen stormclouds
Have the light of day obscured
Looming low and ominous
In a twilight premature
Thunderheads are rumbling
In a distant overture

(long guitar solo)

All at once,
The clouds are parted
Light streams down
In bright unbroken beams
Follow men's eyes
As they look to the skies
The shifting shafts of shining
Weave the fabric of their dreams

(hint... Canadian eh)

>Rush. Not sure what song, but those lyrics just sound like Rush.

You're thinking of:

The clouds were suddenly parted
for a moment I could see
the patterns of the landscape
reaching to the eastern sea

I gazed upon a presence
spanning forty centuries

I stood at the top of the mountain
and China sang to me

Who can it be knocking at my door?
Go away
don't come 'round here no more.
Can't you see that it's late at night?
I'm very tired
and I'm not feeling right.
All I wish is to be alone -
Stay away
don't you invade my home.
Best off if you hang outside


HAVE FUN...
...JUST DONT DIE

Whoa? You're thinking of:

The clouds were suddenly parted
for a moment I could see
the patterns of the landscape

Y'mean Geddy Lee (Correct, of RUSH fame) swiped the tune? It's called Jacob's Ladder on the album. I figure his lyrics speak of one of those 'weathered out' days at the DZ where those pateint enough are rewarded with the 'one load at sunset'. Been there. Can hear Alex's guitar wailing as I type... :)

O how about this one for all you over 30s:)
"I hear him before I go to sleep, & focus on the day that's been
I relise he's there as i turn the light off and roll over
Nobody nows about my man"????

Who Sang that and what's it called?????

You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky)
My Life ROCKS!
How's yours doing?

Anyone got an 8 track player? I have tons of 80 music on 8 track.
I think Truck drivers still have 8-tracks in there rigs.
I always see 8-track tapes for sale when I go "Bike Day" 1st Sunday each month.

Retinol is my friend, but you can keep the depends guys.

Now this is easy.....but i love it......didn't read through all of the posts so it may have been mentioned.. the 80's weren't all bad..;)

they say that the road
Ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line
It's been you and me
And lovin' a music man
Ain't always what it's supposed to be
Oh girl you stand by me
I'm forever yours...faithfully
