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 meWe 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 meNow 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 meNow 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 me29 October, 2005 at 6:57 pm #159797i’m sure thats my cd… :?

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 hideSay 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 kindTake 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 lifeSay 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 kindSay something
I’m open wide, open wondering
Have you swallowed everything
Pay me in kind29 October, 2005 at 7:31 pm #159798i don’t have much hair left, wanna keep it thanks

31 October, 2005 at 7:07 pm #159801You 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 westNow 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 westShe 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 westNow 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 westOne 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 westNow 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 westErnie 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 west31 October, 2005 at 10:14 pm #159802Wher u bin James ive missed my cappucinno at the break in the quiz
1 November, 2005 at 4:35 pm #159803ffs 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???…..
