For someone special..
Bronski Beat – Smalltown Boy
You leave in the morning
With everything you own
In a little black case
Alone on a platform
The wind and the rain
On a sad and lonely faceMother will never understand
Why you had to leave
But the answers you seek
Will never be found at home
The love that you need
Will never be found at homeRun away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run awayPushed around and kicked around
Always a lonely boy
You were the one
That they’d talk about around town
As they put you downAnd as hard as they would try
They’d hurt to make you cry
But you never cried to them
Just to your soul
No you never cried to them
Just to your soulRun away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.Cry , boy, cry…
You leave in the morning
With everything you own
In a little black case
Alone on a platform
The wind and the rain
On a sad and lonely faceRun away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.11 August, 2008 at 1:14 pm #139803These guys blew my mind way back in the day, and it’s still blowin’..
Seals & Crofts – Summer Breeze
See the curtains hangin’ in the window, in the evenin’ on a Friday night.
A little light a-shinin’ through the window, lets me know everything is alright.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.See the paper layin’ in the sidewalk, a little music from the house next door.
So I walked on up to the doorstep, through the screen and across the floor.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.Sweet days of summer, the jasmine’s in bloom. July is dressed up and playing her tune.
And I come home from a hard day’s work, and you’re waiting there, not a care in the world.
See the smile a-waitin’ in the kitchen, food cookin’ and the plates for two.
See the arms that reach out to hold me, in the evening when the day is through.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.whilst this one makes me wistful and weepy..
Seals & Crofts – We May Never Pass This Way Again
Life, so they say, is but a game and we let it slip away.
Love, like the Autumn sun, should be dyin’ but it’s only just begun.
Like the twilight in the road up ahead, they don’t see just where we’re goin’.
And all the secrets in the Universe, whisper in our ears
And all the years will come and go, take us up, always up.
We may never pass this way again. We may never pass this way again.
We may never pass this way again.Dreams, so they say, are for the fools and they let ’em drift away.
Peace, like the silent dove, should be flyin’ but it’s only just begun.
Like Columbus in the olden days, we must gather all our courage.
Sail our ships out on the open sea. Cast away our fears
And all the years will come and go, and take us up, always up.
We may never pass this way again. We may never pass this way again.
We may never pass this way again.So, I wanna laugh while the laughin’ is easy. I wanna cry if it makes it worthwhile.
We may never pass this way again, that’s why I want it with you.
‘Cause, you make me feel like I’m more than a friend. Like I’m the journey and you’re the journey’s end.
We may never pass this way again, that’s why I want it with you, baby.We may never pass this way again. We may never pass this way again.
We may never pass this way again. We may never pass this way again.11 August, 2008 at 8:11 pm #139804http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=q1ufDdiK9xY
here there and everywhere on of my fave beatles classics
To lead a better life I need my love to be here…
Here, making each day of the year
Changing my life with a wave of her hand
Nobody can deny that there’s something thereThere, running my hands through her hair
Both of us thinking how good it can be
Someone is speaking but she doesn’t know he’s thereI want her everywhere and if she’s beside me
I know I need never care
But to love her is to need her everywhere
Knowing that love is to shareEach one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping I’m always thereI want her everywhere and if she’s beside me
I know I need never care
But to love her is to need her everywhere
Knowing that love is to shareEach one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping I’m always thereTo be there and everywhere
Here, there and everywhere11 August, 2008 at 9:29 pm #139805Its nine oclock on a saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
Theres an old man sitting next to me
Makin love to his tonic and ginHe says, son, can you play me a memory?
Im not really sure how it goes
But its sad and its sweet and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger mans clothesLa la la, de de da
La la, de de da da daChorus:
Sing us a song, youre the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, were all in the mood for a melody
And youve got us feelin alrightNow john at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And hes quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
But theres someplace that hed rather be
He says, bill, I believe this is killing me.
As the smile ran away from his face
Well Im sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this placeOh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da daNow paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And hes talkin with davy whos still in the navy
And probably will be for lifeAnd the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes, theyre sharing a drink they call loneliness
But its better than drinkin aloneChorus
Its a pretty good crowd for a saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
cause he knows that its me theyve been comin to see
To forget about life for a while
And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say, man, what are you doin here?Oh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da11 August, 2008 at 10:20 pm #139806http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=Sxf6Xd75yUo eternal flame bangles
Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling
Do you feel my heart beating, do you understand?
Do you feel the same, am I only dreaming?
Is this burning an eternal flame?I believe it’s meant to be, darling
I watch when you are sleeping, you belong to me
Do you feel the same, am I only dreaming
Or is this burning an eternal flame?Say my name, sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely, and then you come and ease the pain
I don’t want to lose this feeling[break]
Say my name, sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely, and then you come and ease the pain
I don’t want to lose this feelingClose your eyes and give me your hand
Do you feel my heart beating, do you understand?
Do you feel the same, am I only dreaming
Or is this burning an eternal flame?[break]
Is this burning an eternal flame?
An eternal flame?
(Close your eyes and give me your hand
Do you feel my heart beating, do you understand?
Do you feel the same, am I only dreaming
Or is this burning an eternal flame?)13 August, 2008 at 1:35 am #139807Under the dog star sail
Over the reefs of moonshine
Under the skies of fall
North
North west
The stones of FaroeUnder the Arctic fire
Over the seas of silence
Hauling on frozen ropes
For all my days remainingWould north be true?
All colours bleed to red
Asleep on the ocean’s bed
Drifting in empty seas
For all my days remainingWould north be true?
Why should I?
Why should I cry for you?Dark angels follow me
Over a godless sea
Mountains of endless falling
For all my days remainingWhat would be true?
Sometimes I see your face
The stars seem to lose their place
Why must I think of you?
Why must I?
Why should I?
Why should I cry for you?
Why would you want me to?
What would it mean to say
“I loved you in my fashion”?What would be true?
Why should I?
Why should I cry?
Why should I cry?13 August, 2008 at 1:39 pm #139808The Beach Boys – God Only Knows

14 August, 2008 at 6:15 pm #139810Lady godiva here dressed so demurely
Pats the head of another curly hair boy, just another toy
Sick with silence she weeps sincerely
Saying words that have oh so clearly been said
So long agoDraperies wrapped gently around her shoulder
Life has made her that much bolder now
That she’s found out howDressed in silk, latin, lace and envy
Pride and joy of the latest funny fair
Pretty passing careHair today now dipped in the water
Making love to every poor daughter’s son
Isn’t it funNow today propping grace with envy
Lady godiva peers to see if anyone’s there
And hasn’t a careDoctor is coming the nurse thinks sweetly
Turning on the machine and neatly pump air
The body lies bare
Shaved and hairless what once was screaming
Now lies silent and almost sleeping
The brain must have gone awayStrapped securely to the white table
Ether caused the body to wither and writhe
Underneath the white lightDoctor arrives with knife and baggage
Sees the growth as just so much cabbage
That now
Must be cut awayNow comes the moment of great! great! decision!
The doctor is making his first incision!
One goes here – one goes thereThe ether tubes leaking says someone who’s sloppy
Patient it seems is not so well sleeping
The screams echo up the hall
Don’t panic someone give him pentathol instantly
Doctor removes his blade
Cagily so from the brain
By my count of ten –
The head won’t moveLady Godiva’s Operation
(Reed / Underground)
15 August, 2008 at 9:05 pm #139811An instant classic…
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to ownI used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy’s eyes
Listened as the crowd would sing
Now the old king is dead long live the king
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sandI hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can’t explain
Once you’d gone there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the worldIt was a wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn’t believe what I’d become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can’t explain
I know St Peter won’t call my nameNever an honest word
But that was when I ruled the worldHear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can’t explain
I know St Peter won’t call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world -
