Subject: 80s Number Ones 1980-1984 ~ COMPLETE
All of the lyrics here are collected from songs which were Number Ones in the 1980's ( British number ones - according to theofficialcharts.com and the no1 s music archive on the net). Beacuse most of these are quite obvious - I have chosen very small bits of the songs
1980:
1. I'm not that kind of girl Taoist
2. What you give is what you get Gambo
3. I'm happy, hope your happy too Indy Gent
1981:
1. Now I run from you Taoist
2. There's a big enough umbrella ReddyRules
3. I still love you Phil
1982:
1. So many times it happens too fast Phil
2. Baby look at me Phil
3. Pack of party poppers Taoist
1983
1. She made me nervous crazydon
2. I need you more than ever Phil
3. Put on your red shoes Taoist
1984:
1. She's making a fool of you ReddyRules
2. Why don't you use it? Phil
3. Live those dreams ReddyRules
1985 to 1989 are coming up soon. Have fun :)

This sounds like Blondie, The Tide is high but I think the correct lyric is "I'm not the kind of girl, who gives up just like that"

1983 #1 is "Down Under" by Men at Work.

I am going for the Blondie song - Ialways get teh lyrics from just listening to the songs, so I sometimes make minor mistakes :)

Thank you. I saw the quiz and had the line playing over and over in my head for an hour before I remembered it was the Jam. Now I can go back to having the theme song from the Facts of Life play in my head. Doh!
