Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board 80s song lyrics taught me everything I need to know

Groove is in the heart!

Do you remember when we used to dance?
And incidents arose from circumstance
One thing lead to another we were young
And we would scream together songs unsung

It was the heat of the moment
Telling me what my heart meant
The heat of the moment showed in your eyes

Sending you forget-me-nots
To help me to remember
Baby please forget me not
I want you to remember...

...You know I love you even when you don't try
I know that our love will never die
Hey darling when you look into my eye
Please tell me you'll never have to say goodbye

Coz I can't wait...</font f></span>

Time heals the wounds that no one can see

...there's an army
on the dance floor
it's a fashion
with a gun my love
in a room
without a door
a kiss is not enough...

To your credit to the thirty faces you created
To your headache to the shape of the 1980's
I'm glad that we don't hear you any more
I'm tired of playing in your fashion war

To the lights to the trend setting in your head
Sunday night tears from youth cults already dead
I'm glad that we don't hear you any more
I'm tired of fighting in your fashion war

Goodbye Seventies

To your credit to the thirty faces you created
To your subscription for the million copies of 1980
I'm glad that we don't hear you any more
I'm tired of losing in your fashion war

...It ought to be easy ought to be simple enough.
Man meets Woman and they fall in love
But this house is haunted and the ride gets rough.
You've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above
If you want to ride on down down
Into this tunnel of love.

Don't look now, but here come the eighties . . .

I was so cool back in sixty-five
I had it made 'cause I understood what to do to survive
I had my car, and I made the scene
Didn't give a damn about no gasoline
They can go to hell
My friend we never thought about the world
And its realities
The promised land was ours
We were the Great Society

I'm so confused by the things I read, I need the truth
But the truth is, I don't know who to believe
The left say yes, and the right says no
I'm in between and the more I learn
Well, the less that I know
I got to make a show ('cause I'm)

Livin' high, living fine
Livin' high on borrowed time

It's a lot
It's a lot...

Like life

There's a new game
We like to play you see
A game with added reality
You treat me like a dog
Get me down on my kneesWe call it master and servant
We call it master and servant
It's a lot like life
This play between the sheets
With you on top and me underneath
Forget all about equality

Let's play master and servant
Let's play master and servant

Strut. Pout. Put it out.
That's what you want from women.
Come on, Baby, what you takin' me for?

Strut. Pout. Cut it out.
All taking and no giving.
Watch me, Baby, while I walk out your door.

Every rose has it's thorn
just like every night has its dawn
just like every cowboy sings a sad sad song
every rose has its thorn

Searching for a destiny that's mine there's another place another time.
Touching many hearts along the way
Yeah
Hoping that I'll never have to say
It's just an illusion - illusion - illusion.
Follow your emotions anywhere
Is it really magic in the air?
Never let your feelings get you down. Open up your eyes and look around
It's just an illusion - illusion - illusion.

Could it be that it's just an illusion putting me back in all this confusion?
Could it be that it's just an illusion now?
Could it be that it's just an illusion putting me back in all this confusion?
Could it be that it's just an illusion now?
Could it be a picture in my mind? Never sure exactly what I'll find.

Apparently Girls just wanna have fun

Now look at them yo-yo's that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Money for nothin' and chicks for free
Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Lemme tell ya them guys ain't dumb
Maybe get a blister on your little finger
Maybe get a blister on your thumb

We gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators
We gotta move these colour TV's

...You never, never worry
And you never shed a tear
You're sayin' that my love ain't real
Just look at my face
These tears and cryin'...

Dig, if you will, the picture of you and I engaged in a kiss.

...When I'm in the shower
I'm afraid to wash my hair
'Cuz I might open my eyes
And find someone standing there
People say I'm crazy
Just a little touched
But maybe showers remind me
Of Psycho too much...

...Don't need someone to lean on
I know that there's an open door

But if I'm faced with being replaced
I want you even more
So baby say it isn't so...

I ain't lyin', girls be cryin' 'cause I'm on TV. They even bother my poor father 'cause he's down with me.

You gotta walk before you crawl remember
Everybody's selling something.

You're the right kind of sinner to release my inner fantasies
The invincible winner, and you know that you were born to be
You're a heartbreaker, dreammaker,
Love-taker, don't you mess around with me
You're a heartbreaker, dreammaker,
Love-taker, don't you mess around, no no no

...When there's no one left to leave you
Even you don't quite believe you
That's when nothing can deceive you...
