"Perfect Way" by Scritti Politti - September 30th 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

I took a backseat, a backhander
I took her back to her room
Gonna get back to the basics for you, oh yeah
You gotta conscience, a compassion
Got a way with the word
You got a heart full of complacency too
(But it's not like that)
I don't have a purpose or mission
I'm empty by definition
I got a lack girl that you'd love to be
(Up until the day)

You want a diva, a deduction
You wanna do what they do
You wanna do a damage that you can undo
(Up until the day)

Apart from everyone
Away from your life
A part of me belongs
Apart from all of the hurt above

CHORUS
I got a perfect way to make a new proposition
I got a perfect way to make a justification
I got a perfect way to make a ceratin a maybe
I got a perfect way to make the girls go crazy

I took a day job, amendment
I took a liking to you
I took a page out of my rulebook for you
You want a message, a confession
You wanna martyr me too
You want a margin of error for two
(But it's not like that)
Maybe tomorrow, the next letter
Or when the weather gets better
I gotta wait here for your moon to turn blue
I made an offer, an exception
I made a sense out of you
You took a good look at your book and I knew
(Up until the day)

In times of tenderness, and tears baby so true
Until such time as I can understand the things you do

CHORUS

Want to forgive you for the things that you do
Wanna forget how to remember with you
Maybe tomorrow, the next letter
Or when the weather gets better
I gotta wait here for your moon to turn blue

Apart from everyone
Away from your life
A part of me belongs
Apart from all of the hurt above

I got a perfect way to make a new proposition
I got a perfect way to make a justification

"I Wanna Be a Flintstone" by The Screaming Blue Messiahs - September 29th 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

I wander around in the twilight zone
A little baby Flintstone all on my own
I wander around in the twilight zone
A little baby Flintstone all on my own
Betty and Barney are the folks next door
I’m crawling around all over the floor
(Yabba dabba doo time Yabba dabba doo time)
I wander around in the twilight zone
A little baby Flintstone on my own
I wander around in the twilight zone
A little baby Flintstone on my own
I live in a house with a bedrock door
I crawl around all over the floor
(Yabba dabba doo time Yabba dabba doo time)
I wander around in the twilight zone
A little baby Flintstone all on my own
I wander around in the twilight zone
Baby Flintstone all on my own
Dino is my dinosaur
His tail’s in the kitchen
And his head’s out the door
(Yabba dabba doo time Yabba dabba doo time)
Dino Dino (Yabba dabba doo time)
Have you seen Wilma (Yabba dabba doo time)
(Little baby Flintstone)
What did you say Wilma
(I wanna be a Flintstone) Wilma
(Yabba dabba doo time) Wilma
(Little baby Flintstone) Wilma
(Yabba dabba doo time Yabba dabba doo time)
(Yabba dabba doo time) Wilma Wilma
(Yabba dabba doo time Yabba dabba doo time)
(Yabba dabba doo time)
Hold it hold it hold it hold it
Hold it hold it hold it
Oh boy

"No One Like You' by The Scorpions - September 28th 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

Girl, it's been a long time that we've been apart
Much too long for a man who needs love
I miss you since I've been away
Babe, it wasn't easy to leave you alone
It's getting harder each time that I go
If I had the choice, I would stay

There's no one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just want to be loved by you

No one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just want to be loved by you

Girl, there are really no words strong enough
To describe all my longing for love
I don't want my feelings restrained
Oh, babe, I just need you like never before
Just imagine you'd come through this door
You'd take all my sorrow away

There's no one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just want to be loved by you

No one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just want to be loved by you

No one like you

"Breakdown Dead Ahead" by Boz Scaggs - September 27th 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

I call ya...
You ain't in
What's this cold reaction
Where've you been
Ooh, baby, let it on the line
This is last call, you say that's all
You can take it fine

I'm sorry but...
It don't make sense
You're pullin' just right out on first offense
Ooh, baby, play it smart
For you go south with your big mouth
Let it take your heart...

Danger, there's a breakdown dead ahead
Maybe you're in way above your head
I may burn, might upset you
But you know I'd never let you down...

I told ya
No more lyin'
No more tears fallin'
Stop your cryin'
Ooh, baby, I'm your fan
Before you go back to your side track
Baby understand...

Danger there's a breakdown dead ahead
Just maybe you're in way above your head
I may burn, might upset you
But you know I'd never let you down
No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no...

Danger, there's a breakdown dead ahead
Then just maybe you're in way above your head
I may burn, might upset you
But you know I'd never let you down, down, down, down...
No, no, no...

"Is it a Crime?" by Sade - September 25th 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

This may come, This may come as some surprise
but I miss you
I can see through all of your lies
but still I miss you
he takes her love, but it doesn't feel like mine
he tastes her kiss, her kisses are not wine, they're not mine

he takes, but surely she can't give what I'm feeling now
she takes, but surely she doesn't know how

Is it a crime
Is it a crime
that I still want you
and I want you to want me too

My love is wider, wider than Victoria Lake
My love is taller, taller than the empire state

It dives and it jumps and it ripples like the deepest ocean
I can't give you more than that, surely you want me back

Is it a crime
Is it a crime
that I still want you
and I want you to want me too

My love is wider than Victoria Lake
Taller than the empire state

It dives and it jumps
I can't give you more than that, surely you want me back

Is it a crime
Is it a crime
that I still want you
and that I want you to want me too

It dives and it jumps and it ripples like the deepest ocean
I can't give you more than that, surely you want it back.

Tell me, is it a crime?

"The Spirit of the Radio" by RUSH - September 23rd 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

Begin the day with a friendly voice,
A companion unobtrusive
Plays that song that's so elusive
And the magic music makes your morning mood.

Off on your way, hit the open road,
There is magic at your fingers
For the Spirit ever lingers,
Undemanding contact in your happy solitude.

CHORUS:
Invisible airwaves crackle with life
Bright antennae bristle with the energy
Emotional feedback on timeless wavelength
Bearing a gift beyond price, almost free

All this machinery making modern music
Can still be open-hearted.
Not so coldly charted
It's really just a question of your honesty, yeah,
Your honesty.
One likes to believe in the freedom of music,
But glittering prizes and endless compromises
Shatter the illusion of integrity.

CHORUS

For the words of the profits were written on the studio wall,
Concert hall
And echoes with the sounds of salesmen, of salesmen, of salesmen!

"You Be Illin'" by Run DMC - September 22nd 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

 

 

Lyrics:

 

 

Yo Jay!
One day when I was chillin' in Kentucky Fried Chicken
Just mindin' my business, eatin' food and finger lickin'
This dude walked in lookin' strange and kind of funny
Went up to the front with a menu and his money
He didn't walk straight, kind of side to side
He asked this old lady, "Yo, yo, um...is this Kentucky Fried?"
The lady said "Yeah", smiled and he smiled back
He gave a quarter and his order, small fries, Big Mac!

You be illin'

Today you won a ticket to see Doctor J
Front row seat, in free, no pay
Radio in hand, snacks by feet
Game's about to start, you kickin' popcorn to the beat
You finally wake up, Doc's gone to town
Round his back, through the hoop, then you scream "Touchdown!"

You be illin'

The other day around the way I seen you illin' at a party
Drunk as skunk you illin' punk and in your left hand was Bacardi
You went up to this fly girl and said
"Yo, yo, can I get this dance?"
She smelled your breath and then
She left you standin' in your illin' stance

You be illin'

Dinner, you ate it, there is none left
It was salty, with butter and it was def
You proceeded to eat it cause you was in the mood
But homes you did not read it was a can of dog food!

You be illin'



"More than This" by Roxy Music - September 21st 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

I could feel at the time
There was no way of knowing
Fallen leaves in the night
Who can say where they're blowing?

As free as the wind
Hopefully learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning?

More than this, you know there is nothing
More than this, tell me one thing
More than this, there is nothing

It was fun for a while
There was no way of knowing
Like a dream in the night
Who can say where we're going?

No care in the world
Maybe I'm learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning?

More than this, you know there is nothing
More than this, tell me one thing
More than this, now there is nothing

More than this, nothing
More than this
More than this, nothing

"Just a Gigolo" by David Lee Roth - September 20th 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

Just a gigolo
everywhere I go
people know the part
I'm playing

Paid for every dance
selling each romance
every night some heart
betraying

There will come a day
youth will pass away
then what will they say
about me

When the end comes I know
they'll say just a gigolo
as life goes on
without me

'Cause I aint got nobody
nobody nobody cares for me
I'm so sad and lonely
sad and lonely sad and lonely
Won't some sweet mama
come and take a chance with me
cause I aint so bad

Get along with me babe,
been singin love songs
All of the time
Even only be, honey only, only be
Bop bozadee bozadee bop zitty bop

I ain't got nobody 'cept love songs in love
Hummala bebhuhla zeebuhla boobuhla
hummala bebhuhla zeebuhla bop

I ain't got nobody, nobody,
nobody cares for me
Nobody , nobody
I'm so sad and lonely,
sad and lonely,
sad and lonely,
Won't some sweet mama come
and take a chance with me
cause I aint so bad

Get along with me babe,
been singin love songs
All of the time
Even only be, honey only, only be

Around and round you're turning me

"Never Say Never" by Romeovoid - September 18th 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

Time in itself was his demeanor
There'd be no sunlight or a glimmer
Of sunlight landing on the street
Sunset girls must be discreet

Sunset girls must be discreet
Nursing their fathers locked inside
They masqueraded as his bride

I might like you better if we slept together
I might like you better if we slept together
I might like you better if we slept together
But there's something in your eyes that says maybe
That's never
Never say never

Slumped by the courthouse with windburned skin
That man could give a fuck about the grin
On your face as you walk by, randy as a goat
He's sleeping on papers, but he'd be warm in your coat

I might like you better if we slept together
I might like you better if we slept together
I might like you better if we slept together
But there's something in your eyes that says maybe
That's never
Never say never

There's no easy way to lose your sight
On the street, on the stairs, who's on your flight
Old couple walks by, as ugly as sin
But he's got her, she's got him

I might like you better if we slept together
I might like you better if we slept together
I might like you better if we slept together
But there's something in your eyes that says maybe
That's never
Never say never

Sunset girls must be discreet
Nursing their fathers locked inside
They masqueraded as his bride

Never say never
Never say never
Never say never, never, never

Sun seems to move across the sky so slow
It's us who's turning with nowhere to go
Sun seems to move across the sky so slow
Us who's turning with nowhere to go

Never say never
Never say never
Never say never, say never, say never
Never, never, never say never

I might like you better if we slept together
I might like you better if we slept together
I might like you better if we slept together
I might like you better if we slept together
I might like you better if we slept together
But there's something in your eyes that says maybe
That's never
Never say never

"She's So Cold" by The Rolling Stones - September 16th 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

I'm so hot for her, I'm so hot for her
I'm so hot for her and she's so cold
I'm so hot for her, I'm on fire for her
I'm so hot for her and she's so cold

I'm the burning bush, I'm the burning fire
I'm the bleeding volcano
I'm so hot for her, I'm so hot for her
I'm so hot for her and she's so cold

Yes, I tried re-wiring her, tried re-firing her
I think her engine is permanently stalled
She's so cold she's so cold
She's so cold cold cold
Like a tombstone
She's so cold, she's so cold
she's so cold cold cold like a ice cream cone
She's so cold she's so cold
And when I touch her my hand just froze

Yeah, I'm so hot for hot for her, I'm so hot for her
I'm so hot for her and grievin' so
Put your hand on the heat, put your hand on the heat
Aw C'mon baby, let's go

She's so cold, she's so cold, cold, she's so c-c-c-old
But she's beautiful, though

Yeah, they're so cold

She's so cold, she's so cold
I think she was born in a arctic zone
She's so cold she's so cold, cold, cold
And when I touch her my hand just froze

She's so cold, she's so goddamn cold she's so
Cold cold cold she's so cold

Who would believe you were a beauty indeed
When the days get shorter and the nights get long
Light fades and the rain comes
Nobody will know, when you're old
When you're old, nobody will know
that you was a beauty, a sweet sweet beauty
A sweet sweet beauty, but stone stone cold

You're so cold, you're so cold, cold, cold
You're so cold, you're so cold

I'm so hot for you, i'm so hot for you
I'm so hot for you and you're so cold

I'm the burning bush, I'm the burning fire
I'm the bleeding volcano

"Somebody's Watching Me" by Rockwell - September 15th 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

I'm just an average man, with an average life.
I work from nine to five; hey hell, I pay the price.
All I want is to be left alone in my average home;
But why do I always feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone, and

I always feel like somebody's watching me.
And I have no privacy.
Woh, I always feel like somebody's watching me.
Tell me is it just a dream?

When I come home at night.
I bolt the door real tight.
People call me on the phone I'm trying to avoid.
Well, can the people on T.V. see me.
Or am I just paranoid?

When I'm in the shower.
I'm afraid to wash my hair.
'Cause I might open my eyes
And find someone standing there.
People say I'm crazy.
Just a little touched.
But maybe showers remind me of
"Psycho" too much.
That's why. . .

I always feel like somebody's watching me.
And I have no privacy.
Woh, I always feel like somebody's watching me.
Who's playing tricks on me?

Who's watching me?
I don't know anymore . . . are the neighbors watching
Who's watching?
Well, it's the mailman watching me: and I don't feel safe anymore.
Tell me who's watching.
Oh, what a mess. I wonder who's watching me now,
Who, the I.R.S.?

I always feel like somebody's watching me.
And I have no privacy.
Woh, I always feel like somebody's watching me.
Who's playing tricks on me?

I always feel like somebody's watching me.
I always feel like somebody's watching me.
I always feel like somebody's watching me.
I always feel like somebody's watching me.
I always feel like somebody's watching me.

I always feel like somebody's watching me.
And I have no privacy.
Woa, I always feel like somebody's watching me.
I can't enjoy my tea.

I always feel like somebody's watching me.
I want my privacy.
Woa, I always feel like somebody's watching me.
Woa, I always feel like somebody's watching me.
Stop playing tricks on me
Woa, I always feel like somebody's watching me.

"Being With You" by Smokey Robinson - September 14th 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

I don't care what they think about me
And I don't care what they say
I don't care what they think if you're leaving
I'm gonna beg you to stay

I don't care if they start to avoid me
I don't care what they do
I don't care about anything else
But being with you, being with you

Honey don't go, don't leave this scene
Be out of the picture and off of the screen
Don't let them say, "We told you so"
They tell me you love me and then let me go

I've heard the warning voice
From friends and my relations
They tell me all about your heart-break reputation

I don't care what they think about me
And I don't care what they say
I don't care what they think if you're leaving
I'm gonna beg you to stay

I don't care if they start to avoid me
I don't care what they do
I don't care about anything else
But being with you, being with you

People can change, they always do
Haven't they noticed the changes in you
Or can it be that like love I am blind
Do I want it so much 'til it's all in my mind

One thing I know for sure
Is really really real
I never felt before
The way you make me feel

I don't care what they think about me
And I don't care what they say
I don't care what they think if you're leaving
I'm gonna beg you to stay

I don't care if they start to avoid me
I don't care what they do
I don't care about anything else
But being with you, being with you
Being with you, being with you

I don't care about anything else
But being with you, being with you
I want to be with you

"Endless Love" by Lionel Richie & Diana Ross - September 13th 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

My love,
There's only you in my life
The only thing that's bright

My first love,
You're every breath that I take
You're every step I make

And I
(I-I-I-I-I)
I want to share
All my love with you
No one else will do

And your eyes
Your eyes, your eyes
They tell me how much you care
Ooh yes, you will always be
My endless love

Two hearts,
Two hearts that beat as one
Our lives have just begun

Forever
(Oh)
I'll hold you close in my arms
I can't resist your charms

And love
Oh, love
I'll be a fool
For you,
I'm sure
You know I don't mind
Oh, you know I don't mind

'Cause you,
You mean the world to me
Oh

I know
I've found in you
My endless love

Boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom

Oh, and love
Oh, love
I'll be that fool
For you,
I'm sure
You know I don't mind
Oh you know-
I don't mind

And, yes
You'll be the only one
'Cause no one can deny
This love I have inside
And I'll give it all to you
My love
My love, my love
My endless love

"Alex Chilton" by The Replacements - September 12th 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

If he was from Venus, would he feed us with a spoon?
If he was from Mars, wouldn't that be cool?
Standing right on campus, would he stamp us in a file?
Hangin' down in Memphis all the while.

CHORUS:
Children by the million sing for Alex Chilton when he comes 'round
They sing "I'm in love. What's that song?
I'm in love with that song."

Cerebral rape and pillage in a village of his choice.
Invisible man who can sing in a visible voice.
Feeling like a hundred bucks, exchanging good lucks face to face.
Checkin' his stash by the trash at St. Mark's place.

CHORUS

I never travel far, without a little Big Star

Runnin' 'round the house, Mickey Mouse and the Tarot cards.
Falling asleep with a flop pop video on.
If he was from Venus, would he meet us on the moon?
If he died in Memphis, then that'd be cool, babe.

CHORUS

"Time for Me to Fly" by REO Speedwagon - September 11th 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

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 lied for you
But you still make me feel like a thief

You got me stealin' your love away
'Cause you never give it
Peeling the years away
And we can't relive it
I make you laugh
And you make me cry
I believe it's time for me to fly

You said we'd work it out
You said that you had no doubt
That deep down we were really in love
Oh, but I'm tired of holding on
To a feeling I know is gone
I do believe that I've had enough

I've had enough of the falseness
Of a worn out relation
Enough of the jealousy
And the intoleration
I make you laugh
And you make me cry
I believe it's time for me to fly

Time for me to fly
Oh, I've got to set myself free
Time for me to fly
And that's just how it's got to be
I know it hurts to say goodbye
But it's time for me to fly

Oh, don't you know it's...
Time for me to fly

It's time for me to fly (repeat till the end of the song)

"Lunatic Fringe" by Red Rider - September 10th 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

Lunatic Fringe - I know you're out there
You're in hiding, and you hold your meetings
I can hear you coming, and I know what you're after
We're wise to you this time we won't let you kill the laughter
wise to you this tiiimmme
OOO-OOO-OOO-uh-Huh
OOO-OOO-OOO-uh-Huh
OOO-OOO-OOO-uh-Huh

Lunatic Fringe - in the twilight's last gleaming
This is open season, but you won't get too far
'Cause you got to blame someone for your own confusion
We're all on guard this time against the Final Solution
all on guard this time

Oh Yeaaaah!

"Nobody Weird Like Me" by The Red Hot Chili Peppers - September 9th 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

The freakiest show i know
Is the show of my own
Living my life in and out
Of the twilight zone

Bust my britches
Bless my soul
I'm a freak of nature
Walking totem pole
Look and see i think you'll agree
Nobody weird like me

Intercourse with a porpoise
Is a dream for me
Hell bent on inventing
A new species

Bust my britches
Bless my soul
I'm a freak of nature
Walking totem pole
Look and see i think you'll agree
Nobody weird like me

Riding down the path
On the back of a giraffe
Me and the giraffe laughed
Cause i passed some gas

Bust my britches
Bless my soul
I'm a freak of nature
Walking totem pole
Look and see i think you'll agree
Nobody weird like me

Enchanted as a rabbit
That my life is a dream
Well everything is never
Just as it seems

The freakiest show i know
Is the show of my own
Living my life in and out
Of the twilight zone

"Send Me an Angel" by Real Life - September 8th 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

Do you believe in heaven above
Do you believe in love
Don't tell a lie don't be false and untrue
It all comes back to you

Open fire!
On my burning heart
I've never been lucky in love
My defences are down
A kiss or a frown
I can't survive on my own

If a girl walks in and carves her name in my heart
I'll turn and run away
Everyday we've all been led astray
It's hard to be lucky in love

It gets in your eyes
It's making you cry
Don't know what to do
Don't know what to do
You're looking for love
Calling heaven above

Send me an angel
Send me an angel
Right now, right now

Empty dreams can only dissapoint
In a room behind your smile
But don't give up,
Don't give up
You can be lucky in love

It gets in your eyes
It's making you cry
Don't know what to do
Don't know what to do
You're looking for love
Calling heaven above

Send me an angel
Send me an angel
Right now, right now.

"You're in Love" by Ratt - September 7th 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

You take the midnight subway train
You're callin' all the shots
You're struck by lightning
You're in love

You take the evening one on one
You're only livin' to have fun
You want to use me, take me home tonight
I'll make you wish that you were mine

"Do You Remember Rock N Roll Radio" by The Ramones - September 7th 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

Do you remember Hullabaloo,
Upbeat, Shindig and Ed Sullivan too?.
Do You Remember Rock'N'Roll radio?
Do You Remember Rock'N'Roll radio?

Do you remember Murray the K,
Alan Freed, and high energy?
It's the end, the end of the 70's.
It's the end, the end of the century.

Do you remember lying in bed with your covers
Pulled up over your head? Radio playin' so no one can see.
We need change, we need it fast before rock's just part
Of the past. 'Cause lately it all sound the same to me.

Oh-oh. Will you remember Jerry Lee,
John Lennon, T. Rex and Ol' Moulty?
It's the end, the end of the 70's.
It's the end, the end of the century.

"Street of Dreams" by Rainbow - September 5th 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

I heard the sound of voices in the night,
Spell bound there was someone calling,
I looked around no one was in sight
Pulled down and I kept on falling
I've seen this place before
And you were standing by my side
I've seen your face before tonight
Maybe I just see what I wanted to be
I know it's a mystery
Do you remember me
On a street of dreams,
Running through my memory
On the street of dreams

There you stood a distant memory
So good like we never parted
Said to myself I knew you'd set me free
And here we are right back where we started
Something's come over me
And I don't know what to feel
Maybe this fantasy is real
Now I'm gonna see what I wanted to be
But it's still a mystery

Do you remember me
On a street of dreams,
Running through my memory
On the street of dreams
You are on every face I see
On the street of dreams

Something's come over me
And I don't know what to feel
Maybe this fantasy is real
Now I'm gonna see what I wanted to be
But it's still a mystery

Do you remember me
On a street of dreams,
Running through my memory
On the street of dreeeeaaaaams

On the street of dreams
And will you always feel
On the street of dreams
Will we ever meet again my friend
On the street of dreams
Do you know just what it feels to be
On the street of dreams
Ever know just who you'll see
On the street of dreams
Don't you think who you'll wanna be oh no
On the street of dreams
I can hear you calling me
On the street of dreams
I can feel you haunting me

"Don't Go Back to Rockville" by REM - September 4th 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

Looking at your watch a third time waiting in the station for the bus
Going to a place that's far, so far away and if that's not enough
Going where nobody says hello, they don't talk to anybody they don't know
You'll wind up in some factory that's full time filth and nowhere left to go
Walk home to an empty house, sit around all by yourself
I know it might sound strange, but I believe
You'll be coming back before too long

CHORUS
Don't go back to Rockville, don't go back to Rockville, don't go back to Rockville
And waste another year

At night I drink myself to sleep and pretend
I don't care that you're not here with me
'Cause it's so much easier to handle
All my problems if I'm too far out to sea
But something better happen soon
Or it's gonna be too late to bring me back

CHORUS

It's not as though I really need you
If you were here I'd only bleed you
But everybody else in town only wants to bring me down and
That's not how it ought to be
Well I know it might sound strange, but I believe
You'll be coming back before too long
CHORUS
CHORUS

"Come Into My House" by Queen Latifah - September 3rd 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

Welcome into my Queendom (My Queendom), come one come all
When it comes to lyrics I bring them (I bring them)
In spring I sing, in fall I call out to
All the ones who had a hard day
I prepared a place on my dance floor
The time is now for you to par-tay
I thought it would be a good chance for you to move
(One nation under a groove) House music always soothes
So get with the flow, let's go, yo
Can you rock to a house groove tempo?
If so, then shall we let the games begin?
What better off position can you be in?
I'm on fire, the flame's too hot to douse
The pool is over, come into my house
Don't make me wait, come into my house
Give me body
Don't make me wait, come into my house
Give me body
Don't make me wait, come into my house
Give me body


Here's a dance step, from now I'll kick a
Bass and treble flow through the speakers
Ride the rhythm, I know it's gonna reach ya
I'm the Queen, Latifah
Now it's time to run through it
45 King? (Yeah, baby?) Cue it
Yeah, there you go, I told you you could do it
Now did you enjoy it? (That was cool) I knew it
Dance to the beat of the drum, give me some
With the Flavor Unit I've come to say "Ride the grooveline"
Don't swing the pipeline, listen to the smooth line
Throw away the white line
It's a house party I'm hosting (What?)
Come and rock with the one that's chosen
It can't turn me inside out (Uh uh)
For those that dare, come into my house

Don't make me wait, come into my house
Give me body
Don't make me wait, come into my house
Give me body
Don't make me wait, come into my house
Give me body

It's a new fusion I'm using
You ask what is it I'm doing?
Hip-hop house, hip-hop jazz, with a little pizzazz
From the Queen, the Queen of Royal Badness
Remember me from "Wrath of My Madness?"
It's my rap that rocks this party
I'm a hijack and jack your body
This is not an erotic interlude
Keep in mind I move multitudes
The asiatic black woman, hardcore beat drumming
It's hard to keep a good woman down, so I keep coming
Blow for blow, I take and I get some
Still I rise in a civilized wisdom
I hope the lyrical display has you around
It's an open invitation, come into my house

"Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen - September 2nd 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

Steve walks warily down the street,
With the brim pulled way down low
Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet,
Machine guns ready to go

Are you ready,
Are you ready for this
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat

CHORUS:
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

How do you think I'm going to get along,
Without you, when you're gone
You took me for everything that I had,
And kicked me out on my own

Are you happy, are you satisfied
How long can you stand the heat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat

CHORUS

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
There are plenty of ways you can hurt a man
And bring him to the ground
You can beat him
You can cheat him
You can treat him bad and leave him
When he's down
But I'm ready, yes I'm ready for you
I'm standing on my own two feet
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
Repeating the sound of the beat

CHORUS

"Harden My Heart" by Quarterflash - September 1st 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day

Lyrics:

Cryin' on the corner, waitin' in the rain
I swear I'll never, ever wait again
You gave me your word but words for you are lies

Darlin' in my wildest dreams, I never thought I'd go
But it's time to let you know, oh

[Chorus]
I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
I'm gonna turn and leave you here

All of my life I've been waitin' in the rain
I've been waiting for a feeling that never, ever came
It feels so close, but always disappears

Darlin', in your wildest dreams, you never had a clue
But it's time you got the news

[Chorus]

I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
Harden my heart, harden my heart
swallow my tears
I'm gonna harden my heart
