~80s Clois Playlist~

[kalalanekent]

Okay, so I snuck in some early 90s, too, but it's only like two. :P Almost all are from the appropriate timeline. WARNING: Most of this is soft rock, so no whining. :D Just click the artist/title link to download.

 

You pay the grocer,
Fix the toaster,
Kiss the host good-bye.
Then you break a window,
Burn the souffle,
Scream the lullaby.

I know nothing stays the same,
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again.
So don't mind if I fall apart,
There's more room in a broken heart.

~ Carly Simon, Coming Around Again

If you can give it, I can take it.
Cause if this heart is gonna break,
It's gonna take a lot to break it.
I know tonight
Somebody's gonna win the fight.
So if you're so tough,
Come on and prove it.
Your heart is down for the count
And you know you're gonna lose it.
Tonight you're gonna go down in flames
Just like Jesse James.

~ Cher, Just Like Jesse James


I was in your arms,
Thinking I belonged there.
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence,
Building me a home,
Thinking I'd be strong there.
But I was a fool,
Playing by the rules...

~ ABBA, The Winner Takes It All

When you love someone, 
You'll sacrifice.
You'd give it everything you got
And you won't think twice.
You'd risk it all
No matter what may come
when you love someone.

~ Bryan Adams, When You Love Someone


If you believe in the power of magic,
It's all a fantasy.
So if you need to believe in someone,
Just pretend it's me.
It ain't enough that we meet as strangers,
I can't set you free,
So will you turn your back forever
On what you mean to me?

~ The Alan Parsons Project, Don't Answer Me



There's so much that we need to share
Send a smile and show you care.

I'll give a little bit,
I'll give a little bit of my love to you,
So give a little bit,
Give a little bit of your time to me.

See the man with the lonely eyes.
Take his hand, you'll be surprised...

~ Supertramp, Give A Little Bit


No, you don't know the one
Who dreams of you at night.
Who longs to kiss your lips,
Longs to hold you tight.
Oh, I am just a friend,
That's all I've ever been...

~ Jann Arden, You Don't Know Me


Meet me halfway
Across the sky.
Out where the world belongs
To only you and I.

Meet me halfway
Across the sky.
Make this a new beginning of another life.

~ Kenny Loggins, Meet Me Halfway


It's out of my hands,
It's out of my hands
To think, for two years, she was here
And I took her for granted,
I was so cavalier,
Now, the way that it stands,
She's out of my hands...

~ Michael Jackson, She's Out of My Life


But giving into the nighttime
Ain't no cure for the pain
You gotta wade into the water
You gotta learn to live again

And reach out for her healing hands
Reach out for her healing hands
There's a light, where the darkness ends
Touch me now and let me see again
Rock me now in your gentle healing hands

~ Elton John, Healing Hands


It's just not true,
Couldn't ask for anymore than you
Because you look at me
As though I'm beautiful.
Could it be that you want me?
I never dreamed someone like you
Could want someone like me...

~ Katie Irving, I Never Dreamed


Don't say words you're gonna regret.
Don't let the fire rush to your head.
I've heard the accusation before
And I ain't gonna take any more.
Believe me,
The sun in your eyes
Made some of the lies
Worth believing.

~ The Alan Parsons Project, Eye In The Sky


And I'd do anything for you.
I'll give you up,
If that's what I should do
To make you happy.

I can pretend each time I see you
That I don't care and I don't need you.
And though inside I feel like dying,
You know you'll never see me crying.
Don't you ever think that I don't love you,
That for one minute I forgot you...

~ Gloria Estefan, Anything for You


And that you miss me sometimes
When you're alone in your room
Do I feel lonely too?

You have no right to ask me how I feel.
You have no right to speak to me so kind.
We can't go on just holding on to time
Now that we're living separate lives.

~ Phil Collins, Separate Lives
