Time For Me to Fly - REO Speedwagon I've been around for you I've been up and down for you But I just can't get any relief I've swallowed my pride for you I've lived and I've lied for you But you still make me feel like a thief Take It On the Run - REO Speedwagon Heard it from a friend who Heard it from a friend who Heard it from another you've been messin' around btw, fear not.

Gainzo Posted February 18, 2006 Author Share Posted February 18, 2006 What about the soundtracks from the John Hughes movies? 16 Candles, Breakfast Club, Weird Science, Some Kind of Wonderful? The tunes in those movies captured the '80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Thor and I should put together one of those "Time-Life" type CD collections that is all about '80's pop/alternative music. With Verde and greengal as major contributors it would be a hit.

I forgot all about the Cars. They had great songs in the '80's. You Might Think & Drive come to mind. How about adding a little Mental as Anything? They had one song that made it to the States (courtesy of Crocodile Dundee 2) that was called Live it Up.. How can you see looking through those tears Don't you know you're worth your weight in gold I can't believe you're alone in here Let me warm your hands against the cold A close encounter with a hardhearted man Who never gave half of what he got Has made you wish you'd never been born That's a shame cause you got the lot Hey there you with a sad face Come up to my place and live it up You beside the dance floor What do you cry for let's live it up If you smiled the walls would fall down On all the people in this pickup joint But if you laughed you'd level this town Hey lonely girl that's just the point Hey there you with a sad face Come up to my place and live it up You beside the dance floor What do you cry for let's live it up Just answer me the question why You stand alone by the phone in the corner and cry (hey baby) How can you see looking through those tears Don't you know you're worth your weight in gold I can't believe you're alone in here Let me warm your hands against the cold If you smiled the walls would fall down On all the people in this pickup joint But if you laughed you'd level this town Hey lonely girl that's just the point Hey there you with a sad face Come up to my place and live it up You beside the dance floor What do you cry for let's live it up Let's live it up, Live it up Live it up Hey yeah you With a sad face Come up to my place Come up to my place baby Hey there you with a sad face Come up to my place and live it up You beside the dance floor What do you cry for let's live it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
