80s hits

I liked this song in 1988..

But when i became a Christian it developed a totally different meaning and i loved 10 times more..

1927 - Thats when i think of YOU..


Lyrics:
When i'm lost in a strange place
Scared and alone
When i'm wishing for home
That's when i think of YOU

When the load gets to heavy
Too much to bear
When i'm going nowhere, there's no one there
And i'm feeling like a fool

Chorus
That's when i think of YOU
It's all that i can do
I'd go mad if it wasn't for YOU

When i'm caught in the crossfire
Of wrongs making right
When i'm waving goodbye
That's when i think of you

When i'm halfway to heaven
Three parts in hell
And its all just as well
And i can't even tell
And i'm lost without a clue

Chorus
That's when i think of YOU
It's all that i can do
I'd go mad if it wasn't for YOU

If not for the thought of YOU
The promise of dreams come true
I'd go mad if it wasn't for YOU

When lonly for lovin
So far from home
When it feels like i'm in the twilight zone
And i just cant make it thru

Chorus
That's when i think of YOU
It's all that i can do
I'd go mad if it wasn't for YOU

If not for the thought of YOU
The promise of dreams come true
I'd go mad if it wasn't for YOU

I'm always thinking of YOU
It's all that i can do
I'm going mad not being with YOU
If not for the thought of YOU
The promise that dreams come true

I'm goin mad not being with YOU: repeat

Now if i could only edit out that anoying red headed woman out of the video... ,,

MODELS - I hear Motion.. 1983

Just a song to bop to..

Another stealth Christian song.

Simple Minds - Alive and Kicking 1985


Lyrics::
YOU turn me on
YOU lift me up
Like the sweetest cup I'd share with you
YOU lift me up
Don't YOU ever stop, I'm here with YOU

Now it's all or nothing
'Cause YOU say you'll follow through
YOU followed me, and i, i, I follow YOU

What you gonna do when things go wrong?
What you gonna do when it all cracks up?
What you gonna do when the love burns down?
What you gonna do when the flames go up?
Who is gonna come and turn the tide?
What's it gonna take to make a dream survive?
Who's got the touch to calm the storm inside?
Who's gonna save you?

Alive and kicking
Stay until your love is
Alive and kicking
Stay 'til your love is
Until your love is, alive
Oh

YOU lift me up
To the crucial top, so I can see
Oh you lead me on, till the feelings come
And the lights that shine on
But if that don't mean nothing
Like if someday it should fall through
YOU'll take me home where the magic's from
And I'll be with YOU

What you gonna do when things go wrong?
What you gonna do when it all cracks up?
What you gonna do when the love burns down?
What you gonna do when the flames go up?
Who is gonna come and turn the tide?
What's it gonna take to make a dream survive?
Who's got the touch to calm the storm inside?
Don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye
In the final seconds who's gonna save you?

Ooh oh, oh oh
Alive and kicking
Oh stay until your love is
Love is
Alive and kicking
Ooh oh, oh oh
Alive and kicking
Oh stay until your love is, love is
Alive and kicking

Ooh oh
Alive and kicking
Stay until your love is
Alive and kicking, oh

Stay until your love is
Alive and kicking, oh
until your love is alive and kicking..

mandolin rain
end of the innocence
the way it is

I'm more of a 60's / early 70's type of guy. Oldies but goodies. The hits just keep on coming.

My wife wanted me to post this song.

Well as we know a woman needs to be noticed and loved..

Jenny Morris - She Has To Be Loved - 1989

Kids in the Kitchen - Change in Mood.. 1986

You can almost hear the Angels singing in the background at the start of this song..

I liked this song when i was first starting to read the Bible... Kind of like a theme song for it..


Look so careful ,For a fault
Wait one minute, Say no more
Bewildered then
Bewildered now
Conceal forever
Is this the end?
Waiting, I'm changing

Now my eyes are, Open wide
Fear in voice, I remember
Change in mood
I can sense it
Changing every day

I remember, Infatuation
It's a figure of your Imagination
Through young times
Wilder minds
Conceal forever
Is this the end?

Change in mood
I can sense it
Changing every day

Words of meaning
Words of change
You look inside
There's nothing there
I can't, I can't
No I can't
That's forever

Change in mood
I can sense it
Changing every day
Change in mood
I can sense it
Changing every day
Oh
Whoa oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh
Whoa oh
La la la la la
La la la la la

Well as an Australian i have to include this one in the 1980's songs thread..

Ice House - Great Southern Land - 1982

I just saw this post, grew up listening 70s and 80s music. Some of the songs and from the movies brings back great members of them. Thanks for sharing some of the songs have not heard in years.

Redgum - i was only 19 - 1983

A song written by the singer about his friend who was drafted into the Vietman war and came back a different person..

So a bit of a caution or warning for Vets who may not want to hear this song.. Then again maybe they would want to hear this song ???

A very deep song.. Great pick

A remake of an african American 1970's disco song by a group of POP/Rock Australian band.. Bit of fun, hope you enjoy..

Psudo Echo - Funky Town - 1985
