Green and Grey
New Model ArmyThe time I think most clearly, the time I drift away
Is on the bus-ride that meanders up these valleys of green and grey
I get to think about what might have been and what may yet come true
And I get to pass a rainy mile thinking of you
And all the while, all the while, I still hear that call
To the land of gold and poison that beckons to us all
Nothing changes here very much, I guess you’d say it never will
The pubs are all full on Friday nights and things get started still
We spent hours last week with Billy boy, bleeding, yeah queuing in Casualty
Staring at those posters we used to laugh at:
Never Never Land, palm trees by the sea
Well there was no need for those guys to hurt him so bad
When all they had to do was knock him down
But no one asks to many questions like that since you left this townChorus:
And tomorrow brings another train
Another young brave steals away
But you’re the one I remember
From these valleys of green and the greyYou used to talk about winners and losers all the time – as if that was all there was
As if we were not of the same blood family, as if we live by different laws
Do you owe so much less to these rain swept hills than you owe to your good self?
Is it true that the world has always got to be something
That seems to happen somewhere else?
For God’s sake don’t you realise that I still hear that call
Do you think you’re so brave just to go running to that which beckons to us all?Chorus:
No, not for one second did you look behind you
As you were walking away
Never once did you wish any of us well
Those who had chosen to stay
And if that’s what it takes to make it
In the place that you live today
Then I guess you’ll never read these letters that I send
From the valleys of the green and the greyINDIA.ARIE LYRICS
“Strength, Courage & Wisdom”
Inside my head there lives a dream that I want to see in the sun
Behind my eyes there lives a me that I’ve been hiding for much too long
‘Cause I’ve been, too afraid to let it show
‘Cause I’m scared of the judgment that may follow
Always putting off my living for tomorrow
It’s time to step out on faith, I’ve gotta show my faith
It’s been illusive for so long, but freedom is mine today
I’ve gotta step out on faith, It’s time to show my faith
Procrastination had me down but look what I have found, I found[Chorus]
Strength, courage, and wisdom
And it’s been inside of me all along,
Strength, courage, and wisdom
Inside of meBehind my pride there lives a me, that knows humility
Inside my voice there is a soul, and in my soul there is a voice
But I’ve been, too afraid to make a choice
‘Cause I’m scared of the things that I might be missing
Running too fast to stop and listenIt’s time to step out on faith, I’ve gotta show my faith
It’s been illusive for so long but freedom is mine today
I’ve gotta step out on faith it’s time to show my faith
Procrastination had me down but look what I have found, I found[Chorus]
Strength, courage, and wisdom
And it’s been inside of me all along,
Strength, courage, and wisdom
Inside of me[Bridge]
I close my eyes and I think of all the things that I want to see
‘Cause I know, now that I’ve opened up my heart I know that
Anything I want can be, so let it be, so let it be:.[Chorus]
Strength, courage, and wisdom
It’s been inside of me all along,
Strength, courage, wisdom
It’s been inside of me all along, everyday I’m praying for:[Chorus]
Strength, courage, and wisdom
To find me, yeah,
Strength, courage, and wisdom
Inside of meVamp
I found it in me, I found it finally
I’m sure to keep it’ cause I like it, I say thank youGIRL, YOU’LL BE A WOMAN SOON
Neil Diamond/Urge OverkillLove you so much can’t count all the ways
I’d die for you girl and all they can say is
“He’s not your kind”They never get tired of puttin’ me down and
I never know when I come around
What I’m gonna find
Don’t let them make up your mind
Don’t you knowGirl, you’ll be a woman soon
Please come take my hand
Girl, you’ll be a woman soon
Soon, you’ll need a manI’ve been misunderstood for all of my life
But what they’re sayin’, girl, just cuts like a knife
“The boy’s no good”Well, I finally found what I’ve been lookin’ for
But if they get a chance they’ll end it for sure
Sure they would
Baby I’ve done all I could
it’s up to youOh..Girl, you’ll be a woman soon
Please come take my hand
Girl, you’ll be a woman soon
Soon, you’ll need a man1967

Excellent Choice – Un-doubted one of my all time favorites.
Hitler has only got one ball
The other is in the Albert Hall
His mother, the dirty bugger
Chopped it off when he was small
She threw it
Over Germany
It landed in the great blue sea
The fishes, had their wishes
And had scollops and bollocks for teaTrad
:- :D

ah..but which if you had to choose out of the two versions would be your choice…?
I’d go for the original….the atmosphere is more intense and the violin is very understated but ultimately more emotional.

Time and again I’ve longed for adventure,
Something to make my heart beat the faster.
What did I long for? I never really knew.
Finding your love I’ve found my adventure,
Touching your hand, my heart beats the faster,
All that I want in all of this world is you.
(chorus)
You are the promised kiss of springtime
That makes the lonely winter seem long.
You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink of a lovely song.
You are the angel glow that lights a star,
The dearest things I know are what you are.
Some day my happy arms will hold you,
And some day I’ll know that moment divine,
When all the things you are, are mine.I KNOW IT’S OVER – THE SMITHS (beautiful song, beautiful lyrics)
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
And as I climb into an empty bed
Oh well. Enough said.
I know it’s over – still I cling
I don’t know where else I can go
Oh …
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
See, the sea wants to take me
The knife wants to slit me
Do you think you can help me ?
Sad veiled bride, please be happy
Handsome groom, give her room
Loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly
(Though she needs you
More than she loves you)
And I know it’s over – still I cling
I don’t know where else I can go
Over and over and over and over
Over and over, la …
I know it’s over
And it never really began
But in my heart it was so real
And you even spoke to me, and said :
“If you’re so funny
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
And if you’re so clever
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you’re so very entertaining
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you’re so very good-looking
Why do you sleep alone tonight ?
I know …
‘Cause tonight is just like any other night
That’s why you’re on your own tonight
With your triumphs and your charms
While they’re in each other’s arms…”
It’s so easy to laugh
It’s so easy to hate
It takes strength to be gentle and kind
Over, over, over, over
It’s so easy to laugh
It’s so easy to hate
It takes guts to be gentle and kind
Over, over
Love is Natural and Real
But not for you, my love
Not tonight, my love
Love is Natural and Real
But not for such as you and I, my love
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my …@rivet wrote:

I’d have to choose Urge Overkill. Is that the original? I love the guitar in it. But almost anyother time, you know I’d choose Neil Diamond. Maybe it’s the glittery shirts and tight black pants that I like so much.Nothing’s Happening By The Sea
Salty river
Falls asleep in the bay
Always gets there
Never early, never lateNothing’s happening
Nothing’s happening by the sea
YeahWhite waves tumble down
And gently roll back into blue
On wooden seats outside the bar
The couples make their rendezvousNothing’s happening
Nothing’s happening by the seaThe trouble has been found
There’s too far ups and too many downs
I found a level that feels just right
There’s no mistaking where I’m going tonightSure nothing’s happening
Oh nothing’s happening by the seaNothing’s happening
Nothing’s happening by the sea..Chris Rea
