STEVIE WONDER LYRICS

“As”

As around the sun the earth knows she’s revolving
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early May
Just as hate knows love’s the cure
You can rest your mind assure
That I’ll be loving you always
As now can’t reveal the mystery of tomorrow
But in passing will grow older every day
Just as all is born is new
Do know what I say is true
That I’ll be loving you always

Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky—ALWAYS
Until the ocean covers every mountain high—ALWAYS
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea—ALWAYS
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream

Did you know that true love asks for nothing
Her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee
To last through forever and another day
Just as time knew to move on since the beginning
And the seasons know exactly when to change
Just as kindness knows no shame
Know through all your joy and pain
That I’ll be loving you always
As today I know I’m living but tomorrow
Could make me the past but that I mustn’t fear
For I’ll know deep in my mind
The love of me I’ve left behind Cause I’ll be loving you always

Until the day is night and night becomes the day—ALWAYS
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away—ALWAYS
Until the day that 8x8x8 is 4—ALWAYS
Until the day that is the day that are no more
Did you know that you’re loved by somebody?
Until the day the earth starts turning right to left—ALWAYS
Until the earth just for the sun denies itself
I’ll be loving you forever
Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through—ALWAYS
Until the day that you are me and I am you—AL~~~~~~WA~~

Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky~~~~~AA~~~~
~~~~AA~~~~~~~AA~~~~~~~~~AA~~~~~~~YS~~ALWAYS

We all know sometimes lifes hates and troubles
Can make you wish you were born in another time and space
But you can bet you life times that and twice its double
That God knew exactly where he wanted you to be placed
so make sure when you say you’re in it but not of it
You’re not helping to make this earth a place sometimes called Hell
Change your words into truths and then change that truth into love
And maybe our children’s grandchildren
And their great-great grandchildren will tell
I’ll be loving you

Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky–Loving you
Until the ocean covers every mountain high–Loving you
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea–Loving you
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream–Be loving you
Until the day is night and night becomes the day–Loving you
Until the trees and seas up, up and fly away–Loving you
Until the day that 8x8x8x8 is 4–Loving you
Until the day that is the day that are no more–Loving you
Until the day the earth starts turning right to left–Be loving you
Until the earth just for the sun denies itself–Loving you
Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through–Loving you
Until the day that you are me and I am you–
Now ain’t that loving you
Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
Ain’t that loving you
Until the ocean covers every mountain high
And I’ve got to say always
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea~~AL~~~WA~~~AYS
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream-Um AL~~WA~~AYS
Until the day is night and night becomes the day-AL~~~~WA~~AYS
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away-AL~~WA~~~AA~~~~~
Until the day that 8x8x8 is 4~~~~~AA~~~~~~~AA~~~~~~~AA
Until the day that is the day that are no more-AA~~~~AA~~AA~~~AYS
Until the day the earth starts turning right to left-AL~~~WA~~~A~~~AA
Until the earth just for the sun denies itself-~~AA~~~AA~~~AA~~~AYS
Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through-AL~~~WAYS
Until the day that you are me and I am you
Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
Until the ocean covers every mountain high
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream
Until the day is night and night becomes the day
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away
Until the day that 8x8x8 is 4
Until the day that is the day that are no more
Until the day the earth starts turning right to left
Until the earth just for the sun denies itself
Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through
Until the day that you are me and I am you

Sweet painted lady, Elton John

I’m back on dry land once again
Opportunity awaits me like a rat in the drain
We’re all hunting honey with money to burn
Just a short time to show you the tricks that we’ve learned

If the boys all behave themselves here
Well there’s pretty young ladies and beer in the rear
You won’t need a gutter to sleep in tonight
Oh the prices I charge here will see you alright

So she lays down beside me again
My sweet painted lady, the one with no name
Many have used her and many still do
There’s a place in the world for a woman like you

Oh sweet painted lady
Seems it’s always been the same
Getting paid for being laid
Guess that’s the name of the game

Forget us we’ll have gone very soon
Just forget we ever slept in your rooms
And we’ll leave the smell of the sea in your beds
Where love’s just a job and nothing is said

an all time classic , procul harem , whiter shade of pale although i have to say i dont remember the last 2 verses……*goes n roots through record collection* :wink:

We skipped the light fandango
turned cartwheels ‘cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
but the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
as the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
the waiter brought a tray

And so it was that later
as the miller told his tale
that her face, at first just ghostly,
turned a whiter shade of pale

She said, ‘There is no reason
and the truth is plain to see.’
But I wandered through my playing cards
and would not let her be
one of sixteen vestal virgins
who were leaving for the coast
and although my eyes were open
they might have just as well’ve been closed

She said, ‘I’m home on shore leave,’
though in truth we were at sea
so I took her by the looking glass
and forced her to agree
saying, ‘You must be the mermaid
who took Neptune for a ride.’
But she smiled at me so sadly
that my anger straightway died

If music be the food of love
then laughter is its queen
and likewise if behind is in front
then dirt in truth is clean
My mouth by then like cardboard
seemed to slip straight through my head
So we crash-dived straightway quickly
and attacked the ocean bed

there are two alternate endings Cath. Ive put it on here somewhere, either this thread or the poetry thread a few weeks back. I found it in a poetry book years ago, but always up to then thought it was a song…. learn something new and all that eh x

Mo Ghile Mear

Seal da rabhas im’ mhaighdean shéimh,

’s anois im’ bhaintreach chaite thréith,

Mo chéile ag treabhadh na dtonn go tréan

De bharr na gcnoc is I n-imigcéin.

’sé mo laoch, mo ghile mear,

’sé mo chaesar, ghile mear,

Suan na séan ni bhfuaireas féin

Ó chuaigh I gcéin mo ghile mear.

Bimse buan ar buaidhirt gach ló,

Ag caoi go cruaidh ’s ag tuar na ndeór

Mar scaoileadh uaim an buachaill beó

’s na riomhtar tuairisc uaidh, mo bhrón.

Ni labhrann cuach go suairc ar nóin

Is nil guth gadhair I gcoillte cnó,

Na maidin shamhraidh I gcleanntaibh ceoigh

Ó d’imthigh uaim an buachaill beó.

Marcach uasal uaibhreach óg,

Gas gan gruaim is suairce snódh,

Glac is luaimneach, luath I ngleo

Ag teascadh an tslua ’s ag tuargain treon.

Seinntear stair ar chlairsigh cheoil

’s liontair tainte cart ar bord

Le hinntinn ard gan chaim, gan cheó

chun saoghal is slainte d’ fhaghail dom leómhan.

Ghile mear ’sa seal faoi chumha,

’s eire go léir faoi chlócaibh dubha;

Suan na séan ni bhfuaireas féin

Ó luaidh I gcéin mo ghile mear.

Sting

Accidents will happen – Elvis Costello

Oh I just dont know where to begin
Though he says hell wait forever
Its now or never
But she keeps him hanging on
The silly champion
She says she cant go home
Without a chaperone

Accidents will happen
We only hit and run
He used to be your victim
Now youre not the only one

Accidents will happen
We only hit and run
I dont want to hear it
cause I know what Ive done

Theres so many fish in the sea
That only rise up in the sweat and smoke like mercury
But they keep you hanging on
They say youre so young
Your mind is made up but your mouth is undone

(chorus)

And its the damage that we do
And never know
Its the words that we dont say
That scare me so

Theres so many people to see
So many people you can check up on
And add to your collection
But they keep you hanging on
Until youre well hung
Your mouth is made up but your mind is undone

(chorus)

I know, I know, (repeat)
