    Hadn’t heard this song for years, going through my Cd collection today, I’d forgotton just what a brilliant song this was, It’s by Bruce Springsteen and it’s called “If I should fall behind” try and listen to it if you can the live version is amazing, says everything about a loving relationship, and it’s what I think of my wife :)

    We said we’d walk together baby come what may
    That come the twilight should we lose our way
    If as we’re walkin a hand should slip free
    I’ll wait for you
    And should I fall behind
    Wait for me

    We swore we’d travel darlin’ side by side
    We’d help each other stay in stride
    But each lover’s steps fall so differently
    But I’ll wait for you
    And if I should fall behind
    Wait for me

    Now everyone dreams of a love lasting and true
    But you and I know what this world can do
    So let’s make our steps clear that the other may see
    And I’ll wait for you
    If I should fall behind
    Wait for me

    Now there’s a beautiful river in the valley ahead
    There ’neath the oak’s bough soon we will be wed
    Should we lose each other in the shadow of the evening trees
    I’ll wait for you
    And should I fall behind
    Wait for me
    Darlin’ I’ll wait for you
    Should I fall behind
    Wait for me

    James – Say Something Lyrics

    You’re as tight as a hunter’s trap
    Hidden well, what are you concealing
    Poker face, carved in stone
    Amongst friends, but all alone
    Why do you hide

    Say something, say something, anything
    I?ve shown you everything
    Give me a sign
    Say something, say something, anything
    Your silence is deafening
    Pay me in kind

    Take a drug to set you free
    Strange fruit from a forbidden tree
    You’ve got to come down soon
    More than a drug is what I need
    Need a change of scenery
    Need a new life

    Say something, say something anything
    I’ve shown you everything
    Give me a sign
    Say something, say something, anything
    Your silence is deafening
    Pay me in kind

    Say something

    I’m open wide, open wondering
    Have you swallowed everything
    Pay me in kind

    You could hear the hoof beats pound
    As they raced across the ground
    And the clatter of the wheels
    As they spun round and round
    And he galloped into Market Street
    His badge upon his chest
    His name was Ernie
    And he drove the fastest milkcart in the west

    Now Ernie loved a widow
    A lady known as Sue
    She lived all alone in Linley Lane
    At number twenty two
    They said she was too good for him
    She was haughty, proud and chic
    But Ernie got his cocoa there
    Three times every week
    They called him Ernie (Ernie)
    And he drove the fastest milkcart in the west

    She said she’d like to bathe in milk
    He said alright sweetheart
    And when he finished work one night
    He loaded up the cart
    He said you wanted pasturised
    Coz pasturised is best
    She says Ernie I’ll be happy
    If it comes up to me chest
    And that tickled old Ernie (Ernie)
    And he drove the fastest milkcart in the west

    Now Ernie had a rival
    An evil looking man
    Called Two Ton Ted from Teddington
    And he drove the bakers van
    He tempted her with his treacle tarts
    And his tasty wholemeal bread
    And when she saw the size
    Of his hot meat pies
    It very near turned her head
    She nearly swooned at his macaroon
    And he said now if you treat me right
    You’ll have hot rolls evry morning
    And crumpets every night
    He knew once she’d sampled his layer cake
    He’d have his wicked way
    And all Ernie had to offer
    Was a pint of milk a day
    Poor Ernie (Ernie)
    And he drove the fastest milkcart in the west

    One lunchtime Ted saw Ernie’s horse and cart outside her door
    It drove him mad to find it was still there at half past four
    And as he leaped down from of his van
    Hot blood through his veins did course
    And he went across to Ernie’s cart
    And he didnarf kick his horse
    Who’s name was Trigger (Trigger)
    And he pulled the fastest milkcart in the west

    Now Ernie rushed out into the street
    His goldtop in his hand
    He said if you want to marry susie
    You’ll fight for her like a man
    Oh why don’t we play cards for her
    He sneeringly replied
    And just to make it interesting
    We’ll have a shilling on the side
    Now Ernie dragged him from his van
    And beneath the blazing sun
    They stood there face to face
    And Ted went for his bun
    But Ernie was to quick
    Things didn’t go the way ted planned
    And a strawberry flavoured youghurt
    Sent it spinning from his hand
    Now Sue she ran between them
    And tried to keep them apart
    And Ernie pushed her aside
    And a rock cake caught him underneath his heart
    And he looked up in pained surprise
    As the concrete hardened crust
    Of a stale pork pie caught him in the eye
    And Ernie bit the dust
    Poor Ernie (Ernie)
    And he drove the fastest milkcart in the west

    Ernie was only fifty-two, he didn’t want to die
    Now he’s gone to make deliveries
    In that milkround in the sky
    Where the customers are angels
    And ferocious dogs are banned
    And a milkmans life is full of fun
    In that fairy dairy land
    But a woman’s needs are many fold
    And Sue she married Ted
    But strange things happened on their wedding night
    As they lay in their bed
    Was that the trees a rustling
    Or the hinges of the gate
    Or Ernies ghostly goldtop a rattling in their crate
    They won’t forget Ernie (Ernie)
    And he drove the fastest milkcart in the west

    ffs some people thought I was taking the pee when I suggested ‘Ernie’. Here are the REALLY best lyrics of all time, from a band called Europe (Apparently, Carol Vorderman whistled it throughout Richard Whiteley’s funeral):

    THE FINAL COUNTDOWN

    We’re leaving together
    but still it’s farewell
    and maybe we’ll come back,
    to earth, who can tell?

    I guess there is no one to blame
    we’re leaving ground (leaving ground)
    will things ever be the same again?
    It’s the final countdown.

    The final countdown.

    Oh, We’re heading for Venus
    and still we stand tall
    cause maybe they’ve seen us
    and welcome us all
    with so many light years to go
    and things to be found (to be found)
    I’m sure that we’ll all miss her so
    It’s the final countdown.

    The final countdown.

    The final countdown (final countdown).

    oh…oh

    The final countdown.

    oh…oh

    It’s the final countdown.

    The final countdown.

    The final countdown. (final countdown)

    It’s the final countdown
    we’re leaving together
    the final countdown
    we’ll all miss her so
    It’s the final countdown (final countdown)
    oh, it’s the final countdown.

    Oh they don’t write them like that anymore……….. :D Or do they???…..

    I assume you are talking about ‘Ernie’…..The Final Countdown is a dreadful song – the lyrics do it justice!!!!!
