Following the great success of my "worst/best song you've heard today" thread, I have decided to start a new lyrics game thread. There will be a few simple rules to keep it fun, I will begin by posting the first few lines to a song, then the first person to answer will continue the game. Just to make it a bit easier, you have to name the decade and it can't be too obscure, this is a bit of fun, not a "who knows the most/shittest bands" thread so keep it to well known atrists. One more thing (RSA), there's no need to copy and paste the entire lyrics for every song, it gets time consuming and some of us have jobs!

So, here goes....

1960's

I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where they drink Champagne
and it tastes just like Cherry Cola
C-O-L-A- Cola

The kinks- lola (very appropriate for a man of your stature Rico)

Here's one for the self-flagelating RSA:

[Late 1980's]

Your cruel device
your blood, like ice
One look, could kill
My pain, your thrill...

Poison, Alice Cooper, what a tune! I thought I'd be shit at this game but got off to a good start!

Right, 90's I think;

Woke up this morning and I raised my weary head,
Got an old coat for a pillow,
and the earth was last nights bed

bon jovi........ cowboy.....

80s......
you dont have to wear that dress tonight.
walk the streets for money i dn't care if its wrong or if its right

Police- Roxanne.

a little more difficult clues, please, chels


next...also from the 80s


When you looked at me I should've run
But I thought it was just for fun
I see I was wrong
And I'm not so strong
I should've known all along that time would tell

The Go Go's - Vacation

Here's one from the 60's:

The man in the coon-skin cap
In the big pen
Wants eleven dollar bills
You only got ten

Bob Dylan - subterranean homesick blues, another beauty

70's (at a guess)

when i was young
i never needed anyone
and making love was just for fun
those days are gone

Dylan - Subterranean Homesick Blues

this one is a classic 80's one

Why pamper life's complexities
When the leather runs smooth
On the passenger seat ?

the smiths, this charming man

80s...

I was on a Paris train
I emerged in London rain
and you were waiting there
swimming through apologies

For Ricey's: All By Myself - Eric Carmen - kill myself now- 1970s

Next:

Whoa, won’t you let me hold you ?
Honey, just close your eyes.
Whoa, won’t you let me hold you, dear ?
I want to just put my arms around ya, like the circles going ‘round the sun.
Let me hold you daddy, at least until the morning comes.

janis Joplin- Need a man to love

70s...

Should I bring him down?
Should I scream and shout?
Should I speak of love,
Let my feelings out?

Jesus Christ Superstar


A late 90's one:

Running down a central reservation in last night's red dress,
And I can still smell you on my fingers and taste you on my breath;
Stepping through brilliant shades,
All the color you bring,
This time, this time, this time,
Is whatever I want it to mean.

Beth Orton - Central Reservation

From 2000s
Caroline! See she's the reason for the word "bitch"
I hope she's speeding on the way to the club
Trying to hurry up to get to some
Baller or singer or somebody like that
And try to put on her makeup in the mirror
And crash, crash, crash.. into a ditch!

Outkast (more specifically Andre 3000 aka ICE COLD)- Caroline from the wonderful, wonderful the love below album (drum and bass version of John Coltrane's favourite things anyone?). Back to the task in hand:

[1970's]

Betty came by on her way
Said she had a word to say
About things today
And fallen leaves.
