Friends, I am trying to compile great songs from 80's and 90's in this thread. I believe, most of us have grown up listening to songs from this generation. Please help me compiling by posting songs of your choice. Any genre is welcome.
Let me do the first honor by including this song called "Careless Whisper" by WHAM. WHAM was a band of two talented artists: George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley, before they decided to split later on.
This song is dear to me and always will be because it was the first english song that my tiny ears as a kid listened to, and boy what a song it was to start with.
Enjoy!!
Artist: George Michael (WHAM) Title : Careless Whisper
=====================================
Time can never mend the careless whispers of a good friend To the heart and mind, ignorance is kind there's no comfort in the truth pain is all you'll find
Should've known better
I feel so unsure as I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor as the music dies, something in your eyes calls to mind the silver screen and all its sad good-byes
I'm never gonna dance again guilty feet have got no rhythm though it's easy to pretend I know you're not a fool
Should've known better than to cheat a friend and waste the chance that I've been given so I'm never gonna dance again the way I danced with you
Time can never mend the careless whispers of a good friend to the heart and mind ignorance is kind there's no comfort in the truth pain is all you'll find
I'm never gonna dance again guilty feet have got no rhythm though it's easy to pretend I know you're not a fool
Should've known better than to cheat a friend and waste this chance that I've been given so I'm never gonna dance again the way I danced with you
Never without your love
Tonight the music seems so loud I wish that we could lose this crowd Maybe it's better this way We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say
We could have been so good together We could have lived this dance forever But noone's gonna dance with me Please stay
And I'm never gonna dance again guilty feet have got no rhythm though it's easy to pretend I know you're not a fool
Should've known better than to cheat a friend and waste the chance that I've been given so I'm never gonna dance again the way I danced with you
(Now that you're gone) Now that you're gone (Now that you're gone) What I did's so wrong that you had to leave me alone
Well, my friends, the time has come To raise the roof and have some fun Throw away the work to be done Let the music play on (play on, play on)
Everbody sing, everybody dance Lose yourself in wild romance We're going to party Karamu, fiesta, forever Come on and sing along! We're going to party Karamu, fiesta, forever Come onand sing along! We're going to party Karamu, fiesta, forever Come on and sing along!
All night long! (all night) All night long! (all night) All night long! (all night)
People dancing all in the street See the rhythm all in their feet Life is good wild and sweet Let the music play on (play on, play on) Feel it in your heart And feel it in your soul Let the music take control We're going to party Liming, fiesta, forever Come on and sing my song!
All night long! (all night) All night long! (all night) All night long! (all night) All night long! (all night)
Yeah, once you get started You can't sit down Come join the fun It's a merry go round Everyone's dancing Their troubles away Come join our party See how we play! Oh, yes We're going to have a party!
All night long! (all night) All night long! (all night) All night long! (all night) All night long!
Everyone you meet They're jamming in the street All night long! Yeah, I said, everyone you meet They're jamming in the street All night long! Yeah, I said, everyone you meet They're jamming in the street All night long! Feel good! feel good!
He take the thunder from the mountain, he take the lightning from the sky, He bring the strong man to his begging knee, he make the young girls mama cry.
You got to hidey-hide, you got to jump and run; You got to hidey-hidey-hide, the old man is down the road.
He got the voices speak in riddles, he got the eye as black as coal, He got a suitcase covered with rattlesnake hide, and he stands right in the road.
You got to hidey-hide, you got to jump up run away; You got to hidey-hidey-hide, the old man is down the road.
Aaah!
He make the river call your lover, he make the barking of the hound, Put a shadow cross the window, when the old man comes around.
You got to hidey-hide, you got to jump and run again; You got to hidey-hidey-hide, the old man is down the road. The old man is down the road.
Aaah! You got ta, you got ta, you got ta, hidey-hidey-hide!
I think Im going to katmandu. Thats really, really where Im going to. If I ever get out of here, Thats what Im gonna do. K-k-k-k-k-k katmandu. I think thats really where Im going to. If I ever get out of here, Im going to katmandu.
I got no kick against the west coast. Warner brothers are such good hosts. I raise my whiskey glass and give them a toast. Im sure they know its true. I got no rap against the southern states. Every time Ive been there its been great. But now Im leaving and I cant be late And to myself be true.
Thats why Im going to katmandu. Up to the mountains where Im going to. And if I ever get out of here, Thats what Im gonna do. K-k-k-k-k-k katmandu. Thats really, really where Im going to. If I ever get out of here, Im going to katmandu.
Ive got no quarrel with the midwest. The folks out there have given me their best. Ive lived there all my life; Ive been their guest. I sure have loved it, too. Im tired of looking at the tv news. Im tired of driving hard and paying dues I figure, baby, Ive got nothing to lose. Im tired of being blue.
Thats why Im going to katmandu. Up to the mountains where Im going to. If I ever get out of here, Thats what Im gonna do. K-k-k-k-k-k katmandu. Take me, baby, cause Im going with you. If I ever get out of here, Im going to katmandu.
I aint got nothin gainst the east coast. You want some people where they got the most! And new york citys like a friendly ghost; You seem to pass right through. I know Im gonna miss the usa. I guess Ill miss it every single day. But no one loves me here anyway! I know my plane is due.
The one thats going to katmandu. Up to the mountains where Im going to. If I ever get out of here, Thats what Im gonna do.
K-k-k-k-k-k katmandu. Really, really, really, going to. If I ever get out of here, If I ever get out of here, If I ever get out of here, Im going to katmandu.
Ive paid my dues - Time after time - Ive done my sentence But committed no crime - And bad mistakes Ive made a few Ive had my share of sand kicked in my face - But Ive come through
We are the champions - my friends And well keep on fighting - till the end - We are the champions - We are the champions No time for losers cause we are the champions - of the world -
Ive taken my bows And my curtain calls - You brought me fame and fortuen and everything that goes with it - I thank you all -
But its been no bed of roses No pleasure cruise - I consider it a challenge before the whole human race - And I aint gonna lose -
We are the champions - my friends And well keep on fighting - till the end - We are the champions - We are the champions No time for losers cause we are the champions - of the world -
anyways cant find a video..(if anyone can?pls do put it or the link here ..cheers in advance ;o) hehe)..
so here is the cut and paste lyrics hehe
You were there - Southern Sons I guess you heard, I guess you know In time I'd have told you, but I guess I'm too slow. And it's overly romantic but I know that it's real I hope you don't you mind if I say what I feel. It's like I'm in somebody else's dream, This could not be happening to me.
But you were there, and you were everything I'd never seen. You woke me up from this long and endless sleep. I was alone. I opened my eyes and you were there.
Don't be alarmed, no don't be concerned. I don't want to change things leave them just as they were. I mean nothing's really different It's me who feel strange. I'm always lost for words when someone mentions your name. I know I'll get over this for sure I'm not the type who dreams there could be more.
But you were there, and you were everything I'd never seen. You woke me up from this long and endless sleep. I was alone. I opened my eyes and you were there.
Can I take your smile home with me, or the magic in your hair? The rain has stopped, the storm has passed Look at all the colors now the sun's here at last.
I supposed that you'll be leaving but I want you to know Part of you stays with me even after you go. Like an actor playing someone else's scene This could not be happening to me.
But you were there, and you were everything I'd never seen. You woke me up from this long and empty sleep. I was alone. I opened my eyes and no, I'm not alone, I'm not alone. I opened my eyes and you were there :oD
ok time to go sleep peacefully ;o) hehe...
goodnight folks :oD hehe.. download the song(if ur too lazy ask me to send ;oP hehe)..its worth it ;o) hehe well dun take me word for it..try ?;oP hehe..
I know just how to whisper And I know just how to cry I know just where I find the answers And I know just how to lie I know just how to fake it And I know just how to scheme I know just when to face the truth And then I know just when to dream And I know just where I touch you And I know just what to prove I know when to pull you closer And I know when to let you loose
And I know the night is fading And I know the time?s gonna fly And I?m never gonna tell you everything I gotta tell you But I know I?ve got to give it a try
And I know the roads to riches And I know the ways to pain I know all the rules and then I know how to break?em And then I always know the name of the game
But I don?t know how to leave you And I?ll never let you fall And I don?t know how you do it Making love out of nothing at all
Making love Out of nothing at all Making love Out of nothing at all Making love Out of nothing at all Making love Out of nothing at all Making love Out of nothing at all Making love Out of nothing at all
Everytime I see you, well the rays of the sun are all Streaming through the waves in your hair And every star in the sky is taking aim at your eyes Like a spotlight The beating of my heart is a drum and it?s lost And it?s looking for a rhythm like you You can take the darkness from the deep of the night And turn it to a beacon burning endlessly bright I gotta follow it ?cause everything I know Well, it?s nothing ?till I give it to you
I can make the runner stumble I can make the final block And I can make every tackle at the sound of the whistle And I can make all the stadiums rock
I can make tonight forever Or I can make it disappear by the dawn And I can make you every promise that?s ever been made And I can make all your demons be gone
But I?m never gonna make it without you Do you really wanna see me crawl ? And I?m never gonna make it like you do Making love out of nothing at all
Making love Out of nothing at all...
This is my favorite. The video is excellent and the lyrics is just superb...
2) Goodbye
Video: ====
Lyrics: ====
I can see the pain living in your eyes And I know how hard you try You deserve to have much more I can feel your heart and I simpathize And I'll never criticize All you've ever meant to my life
I don't want to let you down I don't want to lead you on i don't want to hold you back From where you might belong
You would never ask me why My heart is so disguised I just can't live a lie anymore I would rather hurt myself Than to ever make you cry There's nothing left to say but goodbye
You deserve the chance at the kind of love I'm not sure i'm worthy of Losing you is painful to me
I don't want to let you down I don't want to lead you on i don't want to hold you back From where you might belong
You would never ask me why My heart is so disguised I just can't live a lie anymore I would rather hurt myself Than to ever make you cry There's nothing left to say but goodbye
You would never ask me why My heart is so disguised I just can't live a lie anymore I would rather hurt myself Than to ever make you cry There's nothing left to try Though it's gonna hurt us both There's no other way than to say goodbye
This is another excellent song.
3) All Out of Love
Video: ====
Lyrics: ====
I'm lying alone with my head on the phone Thinking of you till it hurts I know you hurt too but what else can we do Tormented and torn apart I wish I could carry your smile and my heart For times when my life feels so low It would make me believe what tomorrow could bring When today doesn't really know, doesn't really know
Chorus: I 'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you I know you were right believing for so long I 'm all out of love, what am I without you I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong
I want you to come back and carry me home Away from this long lonely nights I'm reaching for you, are you feeling it too Does the feeling seem oh so right And what would you say if I called on you now And said that I can't hold on There's no easy way, it gets harder each day Please love me or I'll be gone, I'll be gone
Chorus
Oh, what are you thinking of? What are you thinking of? Oh, what are you thinking of? What are you thinking of?
Walk Like an Egyptian - Bangles All the old paintings on the tomb They do the sand dance, don'cha know? If they move too quick (Oh-Way-Oh) They're falling down like a domino
And the bazaar man by the Nile He got the money on a bet For the crocodiles (Oh-Way-Oh) They snap their teeth on a cigarette
Foreign types with their hookah pipes sing: Way-oh-way-oh-way-ooo-aaa-ooo... Walk like an Egyptian.
The blonde waitresses take their trays Spin around and they cross the floor They've got the moves (Oh-Way-Oh) You drop your drink then they bring you more
All the school kids so sick of books They like the punk and the metal band When the buzzer rings (Oh-Way-Oh) They're walking like an Egyptian
All the kids in the marketplace say: Way-oh-way-oh-way-ooo-aaa-ooo... Walk like an Egyptian.
Line your feet astreet, bend your back, Shift your arm, then you pull a clock Like Sergeant O (Oh-Way-Oh) So strike a pose on a Cadillac
If you want to find all the cops, They're hanging out in the donut shop. They sing and dance (Oh-Way-Oh) They spin their clock and cruise on down the block
All the Japanese with their Yen The party boys call the Kremlin The Chinese know (Oh-Way-Oh) They walk along like Egyptians
All the cops in the donut shops say: Way-oh-way-oh-way-ooo-aaa-ooo... Walk like an Egyptian Walk like an Egyptian
Live baby live Now that the day is over I got a new sensation In perfect moments Impossible to refuse Sleep baby sleep Now that the night is over And the sun comes like a god Into our room All perfect light and promises
Gotta hold on you A new sensation A new sensation Right now Gonna take you over A new sensation A new sensation
Dream baby dream Of all thats come and going And you will find out In the end There really is There really is no difference
Cry baby cry When youve got to get it out Ill be your shoulder You can tell me all Dont keep it in ya Well thats the reason why Im here
Are you ready for a new sensation A new sensation Right now Gonna take you on a new sensation A new sensation
Hate baby hate When theres nothing left for you Youre only human What can you do Itll soon be over Dont let your pain take over you
Love baby love Its written all over your face Theres nothing better we could do Than live forever Well thats all weve got to do
Hey now Im gonna take a new sensation A new sensation
Steve walks warily down the street, With the brim pulled way down low Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet, Machine guns ready to go Are you ready, Are you ready for this Are you hanging on the edge of your seat Out of the doorway the bullets rip To the sound of the beat Chorus
Another one bites the dust Another one bites the dust And another one gone, and another one gone Another one bites the dust Hey, I'm gonna get you too Another one bites the dust
How do you think I'm going to get along, Without you, when you're gone You took me for everything that I had, And kicked me out on my own
Are you happy, are you satisfied How long can you stand the heat Out of the doorway the bullets rip To the sound of the beat Chorus
Another one bites the dust Another one bites the dust Another one bites the dust Another one bites the dust There are plenty of ways you can hurt a man And bring him to the ground You can beat him You can cheat him You can treat him bad and leave him When he's down But I'm ready, yes I'm ready for you I'm standing on my own two feet Out of the doorway the bullets rip Repeating the sound of the beat
