Let's Go

she's driving away with the dim lights on and she's making a play she can't go wrong she never waits too long she's winding them down on her clock machine and she won't give up 'cause she's seventeen she's a frozen fire she's my one desire and i don't want to hold her down don't want to break her crown when she says, let's go I like the nightlife baby she says, let's go she's laughing inside 'cause they can't refuse she's so beautiful now she doesn't wear her shoes she doesn't like to choose she's got wonderful eyes and a risque mouth and when I ask her before she said she's holding out she's a frozen fire she's my one desire

STARSHIP - KNEE DEEP IN THE HOOPLA


Successor Band for Jefferson Starship and Airplane
Date Released: 1985 Sep



We Built This City
We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll Say you don't know me or recognize my face Say you don't care who goes to that kind of place Knee deep in the hoopla sinking in your fight Too many runaways eating up the night Marconi plays the mamba, listen to the radio, don't you remember We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll Someone always playing corporation games Who cares they're always changing corporation names We just want to dance here someone stole the stage They call us irresponsible write us off the page It's just another Sunday, in a tired old street Police have got the choke hold, oh then we just lost the beat Who counts the money underneath the bar Who rides the wrecking ball in to our rock guitars Don't tell us you need us, 'cos we're the ship of fools Looking for America, coming through your schools


BREATHE - ALL THAT JAZZ


Early 80s English Pop Group
Date Released: 1988 Apr



Hands To Heaven
As I watch you move, Across the moonlit room. There's so much tenderness in your loving. Tomorrow I must leave, The dawn knows no reprieve. God give me strength when I am leaving. So raise your hands to heaven and pray, That we'll be back together someday, hey. Tonight, I need your sweet caress. Hold me in the darkness. Tonight, you calm my restlessness. You relieve my sadness. As we move to embrace, Tears run down your face. I whisper words of love, so softly. I can't believe this pain, It's driving me insane. Without your touch life will be lonely. Morning has come, another day, I must pack my bags and say, Goodbye. Goodbye. 


NEOCOLOURS - MAKING IT

 
Remnants of a Mid 80's Vocal Group
Date Released: 1988


Hold On
Hey, baby, how's life been movin' on? I can't deny it, now you are gone This is the first time Can I make it through? Without you now, do the things I used to do It's getting harder to ease the pain The feeling changes, love still remains I don't know how if I can get this right Maybe given time I'll make the most of what I've got Is this the price we pay With all the good times we shared Faithfully, we've got a reason to go on I know it's good to be true Just spend the nights with you Let me tell you that our love can make it through Hold on, baby hold on We've got to go on now This feeling so strong Hold on, baby hold on It's a burning desire Comin' right down the wire Sweet talking it's all in the line There's no turning back Unless you make up your mind The expectations after all of these years Risin' to the moment let's forget all our fears

SWING OUT SISTER - KALEIDOSCOPE WORLD


British Sophisti Pop
Date Released: 1989 May



Waiting Game
I've spent too much time Waiting for you in vain I can't hear your voice Although I call your name I can't go on but I still hang on just the same I've spent endless nights Crying you name out loud But still remain Alone in an empty crowd As time goes on I realize you'll never change I say a prayer I count the hours I hear a voice but it's not yours I count the score I can't go on playing the waiting game If you should ever change your mind I'll be there just call my name Until then I'll be playing the waiting game I've waited too long Wishing my life away Convincing myself Tomorrow you'd change your ways I can't go on but I still hang on just the same All you left me with emptiness Now everyday seems the same You've gone but I'm still playing the waiting game


SPANDAU BALLET - TRUE


No. 1 on the UK Charts
Date Released:  1983 Mar


True

So true funny how it seems Always in time, but never in line for dreams. Head over heels when toe to toe. This is the sound of my soul, This is the sound I bought a ticket to the world, But now I've come back again Why do I find it hard to write the next line? Oh I want the truth to be said I know this much is true. With a thrill in my head and a pill on my tongue Dissolve the nerves that have just begun Listening to Marvin (all night long) This is the sound of my soul, Always slipping from my hands, Sands a time of it's own Take your seaside arms and write the next line Oh I want the truth to be known I know this much is true


MADONNA - MADONNA





Self-Titled Debut Album

Borderline


Something in the way you love me won't let me be I don't want to be your prisoner so baby won't you set me free Stop playing with my heart Finish what you start When you make my love come down If you want me let me know Baby let it show Honey don't you fool around Just try to understand, I've given all I can, 'Cause you got the best of me Borderline feels like I'm going to lose my mind You just keep on pushing my love over the borderline Keep on pushing me baby Don't you know you drive me crazy You just keep on pushing my love over the borderline Something in your eyes is makin' such a fool of me When you hold me in your arms you love me till I just can't see But then you let me down, when I look around, baby you just can't be found Stop driving me away, I just wanna stay, There's something I just got to say Just try to understand, I've given all I can, 'Cause you got the best of me Keep on pushing me baby Don't you know you drive me crazy You just keep on pushing my love over the borderline Look what your love has done to me Come on baby set me free You just keep on pushing my love over the borderline You cause me so much pain, I think I'm going insane What does it take to make you see? You just keep on pushing my love over the borderline
