80s Songs
Traveling in a fried-out Kombi
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said
Men at Work - Down Under
Released 1981
Oh life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up
R.E.M. - Losing My Religion
Released 1991
I watched you change
Into a fly
I looked away
You were on fire
Deftones - Change
Released May 2000
How can I decide what's right?
When you're clouding up my mind
I can't win your losing fight
All the time
Nor could I ever own what's mine
When you're always taking sides
But you won't take away my pride
No, not this time
Not this time
Paramode Decode
Released 2008
Just as I thought it was goin' alright
I found out I'm wrong, when I thought I was right
It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
I could say day, and you'd say night
Tell me it's black, when I know that it's white
Always the same, it's just a shame and that's all
Genesis - That's All
Released 1983
Load up on guns, bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over-bored and self assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word
Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
Released - September 10, 1991
I tried to be perfect
But nothing was worth it
I don't believe it makes me real
I thought it'd be easy
But no one believes me
I meant all the things I said
If you believe it's in my soul
I'd say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I'm trying to let you know
That I'm better off on my own
Sum 41 - Pieces
Released November 15, 2004
It kills me not to know this
But I've all but just forgotten
What the color of her eyes were
And her scars or how she got them
Rise Against - Savior
Released 2008
Once upon a time
Not so long ago
Tommy used to work on the docks
Unions been on strike
He's down on his luck
It's tough, so tough
Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man, she brings home her pay
For love, for love
Bon Jovi - Livin' on a Prayer
Released 1986
And in the end, we shall achieve in time
The thing they called divine
When all the stars will smile for me
When all is well and well is all for all
And forever after
Well, maybe in the meantime, wait and see
Spacehog - In The Meantime
1995
So lately, been wondering
Who will be there to take my place?
When I'm gone, you'll need love
To light the shadows on your face
If a great wave shall fall
And fall upon us all
Then between the sand and stone
Could you make it on your own?
The Calling - Wherever You Will Go
Released May 22, 2001
I've got another confession to make
I'm your fool
Everyone's got their chains to break
Holdin' you
Foo Fighters - Best Of You
Released - 2005
Move yourself
You always live your life
Never thinking of the future
Prove yourself
You are the move you make
Take your chances, win or loser
See yourself
You are the steps you take
You and you, and that's the only way
Shake, shake yourself
You're every move you make
So the story goes
Yes - Owner of a Lonely Heart
Released 1983
Well, tell me do you think it'd be all right
If I could just crash here tonight?
You can see I'm in no shape for driving
And anyway, I've got no place to go
Gin Blossoms - Hey Jealousy
Released 1992
Memories are just where you laid them
Drag the waters 'til the depths give up their dead
What did you expect to find?
Was there something you left behind?
Don't you remember anything I said when I said...
Fuel - Hemorrhage
Released September 14, 2000
I know I've been mistaken
But just give me a break
And see the changes that I've made
I've got some imperfections
But how can you collect them all
And throw them in my face
Released 2005
Darken the city, night is a wire
Steam in the subway, earth is a fire
Woman, you want me, give me a sign
And catch my breathing even closer behind
Duran Duran - Hungry Like the Wolf
Released 1982
Affirmative may be justified
Take from one give to another
The goal is to be unified
Take my hand be my brother
The payment silenced the masses
Sanctified by oppression
Unity took a backseat
Sliding further into regression
Released 1997
Walking around I hear the Earth seeking relief
I'm trying to find a reason to live
But the mindless clutter my path
Oh these thorns in my side
Oh these thorns in my side
I know I have something free
I have something so alive
I think they shoot 'cause they want it
I think they shoot 'cause they want it
I think they shoot 'cause they want it
Creed - Bullets
Released 2002
I'm staring at a broken door
There's nothing left here anymore
My room is cold, it's making me insane
I've been waiting here so long
But now the moment seems to have come
I see the dark clouds coming up again
Tokio Hotel - Monsoon
Released 2007
