    Re: Lyrical Moments...

    I got my head in a mess this morning
    I dreamt of foolish hearts and that you'd stopped calling
    I didnt realise quite how much I love your eyes
    Oh dear

    Ive fallen out of the mould that was holding me lonely
    Ive shared thoughts with you that used to be for only me
    I feel opened up so please dont break my heart
    Oh dear

    If I had my way I wouldnt be nobody's lady
    I havent loved nobody, loved nobody lately
    And its all out of my hands
    It's all out of my hands

    And if I had a say I'd try to be a little wary
    Cause I easily bruise and I simply refuse to hurt
    So don't you make me
    And it's all out of my hands
    It's out of my hands

    Ive heard you try to deny that youve had many lovers
    But your eyes cant disguise all of the others
    I got your number but you look so sweet in slumber
    Oh dear

    I got my days muddled up - I had no blues last monday
    I havent laughed so much since the first time you called me
    I feel tickled pink but it only makes me think
    Oh dear

    etc.,

    Re: Lyrical Moments...

    as part of my on going mission to quote some of the more odd tracks on my MP3 player I bring you this little ditty.

    Charles Aznavour- "She"

    She
    May be the face I can't forget
    A trace of pleasure or regret
    May be my treasure or the price I have to pay
    She may be the song that summer sings
    May be the chill that autumn brings
    May be a hundred tearful things
    Within the measure of the day.

    She
    May be the beauty or the beast
    May be the famine or the feast
    May turn each day into heaven or a hell
    She may be the mirror of my dreams
    A smile reflected in a stream
    She may not be what she may seem
    Inside a shell

    She who always seems so happy in a crowd
    Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
    No one's allowed to see them when they cry
    She may be the love that can and hope to last
    May come to me from shadows of the past
    That I remember till the day I die

    She
    May be the reason I survive
    The why and where for I'm alive
    The one I'll care for through the rough and rainy years
    Me I'll take her laughter and her tears
    And make them all my souvenirs
    For where she goes I got to be
    The meaning of my life is

    She, she, she


    And people wonder why I laugh out loud at times when my MP3 player is on shuffle play

    Re: Lyrical Moments...

    today's odd choice from the bottomless pit of randomness that is my MP3 library is

    Manfred Mann - "Mighty Quinn"

    Come all without, come all within
    You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
    Come all without, come all within
    You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn

    Everybody's building ships and boats
    Some are building monuments, others are jotting down notes
    Everybody's in despair, every girl and boy
    But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
    Everybody's gonna jump for joy

    Come all without, come all within
    You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn

    I like to go just like the rest, I like my sugar sweet
    But jumping queues and makin' haste, just ain't my cup of meat
    Everyone's beneath the trees, feedin' pigeons on a limb
    But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
    All the pigeons gonna run to him

    Come all without, come all within
    You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
    Come all without, come all within
    You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn

    Let me do what I wanna do, I can't decide 'em all
    Just tell me where to put 'em and I'll tell you who to call
    Nobody can get no sleep, there's someone on everyone's toes
    But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
    Everybody's gonna wanna doze

    Come all without, come all within
    You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
    Come all without, come all within
    You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
    Come all without, come all within
    You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
    Come all without, come all within
    You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn

    Re: Lyrical Moments...

    My mother had a brother
    They say that I was born on the day that he died
    Someone to cling to, she said
    When all the noises and the shame came calling


    My mother had a brother
    I thought I knew them all, I thought I knew
    But she lied
    I said, “Show me his face again, tell me again why he died”


    She said he couldn’t wait for the things that I’ve seen
    She said he wasn’t strong enough, he never dared to dream a life like mine


    My mother had a brother
    Over-sensitive and kind
    Seems it all became too much for him..
    It seems he took his own life
    Mum, I can’t imagine the joy and pain in equal measure
    Tears in the dirt, and all over your newborn treasure


    I guess he had to wait until my momma had me
    I guess he couldn’t wait another moment to be free
    In endless sky…..


    But mama will you tell him from your boy
    The times they changed
    I guess the world was getting warmer
    And we got stronger
    Mother will you tell him about my joy
    I live each day for him
    The sun came out, yeah, and I’m just breathing it in


    (breathing…)


    My mother had a brother
    Same desire, different time
    Seems the empty spaces tortured him
    Until he took his own life


    I don’t know why I waited so long for love
    I just don’t know what I was thinking of..
    All that wasted time


    But mama will you tell him from your boy
    The times they changed
    I guess the world was getting warmer
    While we got stronger
    Mother will you tell him about my joy
    I live each day with him
    Your son came out, yeah,
    And I’m still breathing it in


    And I swear now that freedom is here
    I’m gonna taste it all for you boy
    I’m bad to the bone, I’m just a little torn
    I’m making so much love


    So those of us who have nothing to fear
    We’ve got to make damn sure that it was worth it
    I’m bad to the bone, I’m just a little stoned
    I’m making so much love


    I was a prisoner, but he saved me
    Broke into my dreams and said, “Who cares?”
    I was a prisoner, so disgrace me
    I’m glad to be home
    And I don’t believe they care.

    Re: Lyrical Moments...

    I don't want your money, honey
    I just want your time
    A kiss that's bought with gifts and gold
    Just isn't worth a dime
    Don't offer me a string of pearls
    Or a penthouse so sublime
    I don't want your money, honey
    I just want your time
    I don't want your money, honey
    I just want your time
    The two of us, will ride the bus
    And up to the moon we'll climb
    You can't buy a single kiss
    As long as they are mine
    'Cause I don't want your money, honey
    I just want your time
    I don't want your money, honey
    I just want your time
    Tho' I have a fling won't cost a thing
    No worries on our mind
    Don't want a great big diamond ring
    'Cause I'm just not that kind
    I don't want your money, honey
    I just want your time

    Re: The Champions League Anthem

    ok another silly one from me

    Weird Al Yankovic - "Generic Blues"

    "I woke up this morning
    Then I went back to bed
    Said I woke up this morning
    Then I went right back to bed
    Got a funny kind of feelin' like
    I got broken glass in my underwear
    And a herd of wild pigs is trying to chew off my head
    You know what I'm sayin'

    Well I ain't got not money
    I'm just walkin' down the road
    Said I ain't got no money, honey
    So I'm just walking down this lonely old road
    Well, I wish I could get me some money
    But I forgot my automated teller code

    I was born in a paper sack in the bottom of a sewer
    I had to eat dirt clods for breakfast, my family was so poor
    My daddy was a waitress
    My mama sold bathroom tiles
    My brothers and sisters all hated me
    'Cause I was an only child

    I got the blues so bad, woo
    Kinda wish I was dead
    Maybe I'll blow my brains out mama
    Or maybe I'll, yeah maybe I'll just go bowlin' instead

    I'm just a no good, scum sucking, nose picking
    Boot licking, sniveling, groveling, worthless hunk of slime

    Nothing but a low-down beer bellied, bone headed
    Pigeon toed, turkey necked, weasle faced
    Worthless hunk of slime

    Guess I pretty low self image
    Maybe it's a chemical imbalance or something, I
    I should probably go and see a doctor about it
    When I've got the time
    Make it talk
    Aw, make it talk, son, make it talk
    OK, now make it shut up

    Plagues and famine and pestilence
    Always seem to get me down
    I always feel so miserable whenever I'm around
    I wish somebody would come along
    Stick a pitchfork through my brain
    I'd flush myself right down the toilet
    But I'd just clog up the drain

    I got the blues so bad
    Kinda wish I was dead
    Maybe I'll blow my brains out mama
    Or maybe I'll go bowling
    Or I just might go bowling
    Maybe I'll just rent some shoes and go bowling
    Maybe I'll join a league, enter a tournament put on a stupid looking shirt and go bowling instead
    Yeah"

    Re: The Champions League Anthem

    inspired by Taz's post in the Singletons Sofa..

    Lou Reed - "Perfect Day"

    Just a perfect day,
    Drink Sangria in the park,
    And then later, when it gets dark,
    We go home.
    Just a perfect day,
    Feed animals in the zoo
    Then later, a movie, too,
    And then home.

    Oh it's such a perfect day,
    I'm glad I spent it with you.
    Oh such a perfect day,
    You just keep me hanging on,
    You just keep me hanging on.

    Just a perfect day,
    Problems all left alone,
    Weekenders on our own.
    It's such fun.
    Just a perfect day,
    You made me forget myself.
    I thought I was someone else,
    Someone good.

    Oh it's such a perfect day,
    I'm glad I spent it with you.
    Oh such a perfect day,
    You just keep me hanging on,
    You just keep me hanging on.

    You're going to reap just what you sow,
    You're going to reap just what you sow,
    You're going to reap just what you sow,
    You're going to reap just what you sow

    I've just come back from the Isle of Skye
    Im no very big and I'm awful shy
    And the lassies shout when I go by
    "Donald where's yer troosers"

    A lassie took me to a ball
    And it was slippery in the hall
    And I was feart that I would fall
    Fur I hadnae on ma' troosers

    To wear the kilt is my delight
    It isna wrong, I know its right
    The islanders would get a fright
    If they saw me in the troosers

    Let the wind blow high, let the wind blow low
    Through the streets in my kilt I'll go
    And all the lassies shout hello
    "Donald where's yer troosers"

    I want to know if all you need is love
    I want to know the word from up above
    I want to know what you're thinking of
    I want to know when you have had enough

    As the sun sets over London
    a million people share the night
    some in danger with a stranger
    others in loves delight

    As the sun sets over the river
    Erith and Lambeth and Kew
    10 million people
    locked in the city
    the only one i want is you

    Jools Holland

    sooooo cool.

    Never was a cornflake girl
    Thought that was a good solution
    Hanging with the raisin girls
    She's gone to the other side
    Givin us a yo heave ho
    Things are getting kind of gross
    And I go at sleepy time
    This is not really happening
    You bet your life it is

    Peel out the watchword
    Just peel out the watchword

    She knows what's goin on
    Seems we got a cheaper feel now
    All the sweetcaze are gone
    Gone to the other side
    With my encyclopedia
    They musta paid her a nice price
    She's putting on her string bean love
    This is not really happening
    You bet your life it is

    Peal our the watchword
    Just peel out the watchword

    Never was a cornflake girl
    Thought that was a good solution

    Rabbit where'd you put the keys girl
    And the man with the golden gun thinks he knows so much
    Thinks he knows so much
    Rabbit where'd you put the keys girl

    Sugar Queen - Brian Houston

    If you think you see a spy
    Every time you meet a stranger
    You’re looking in the eyes
    Of the rabid dogs of danger

    Well you try a little pain
    For sometimes pain can bring you pleasure
    Darling don’t make the mistake of thinking
    Pain will keep us together

    If the shoulder that you cry on
    Is the one you can’t rely on
    I’ll be there
    I’ll be there
    If the heart that you believed in
    Falls apart and starts deceiving
    I’ll be there
    Yeah I’ll be there

    For you’re the sugar queen
    You’re the sugar queen
    You were inclined to follow me
    But now you are the sugar queen.

    I used to be a step ahead
    Of everything you do
    And Now you’re catching up
    I'm gonna keep an eye on you

    Just look at you you’re beautiful
    You take me by surprise
    You capture my imagination
    Hold it prisoner in your eyes

    If the shoulder that you cry on
    Is the one you can’t rely on
    I’ll be there
    I’ll be there
    If the heart that you believed in
    Falls apart and starts deceiving
    I’ll be there
    I’ll be there

    For you’re the sugar queen
    You’re the sugar queen
    You're in control of everything
    For now you are the sugar queen.

    You’re the sugar queen
    You’re the sugar queen
    You were inclined to follow me
    These days you are the Sugar Queen

    Woah woah woah woah...
    These days you are the Sugar Queen

    [Bette:] "Hey, nice piano playin', Manilla."
    [Barry:] "Thank you, Miss M."
    [Bette:] "Whatcha doin' these days?"
    [Barry:] "Makin' records."
    [Bette:] "Really?"
    [Barry:] "Yes, really."
    [Bette:] "Do you still play piano for people?"
    [Barry:] "Well, depends on who."

    [Bette:] Hmmm, I'm gonna get you
    on a slow boat to China,
    all to myself alone;
    Get you and keep you in my arms evermore;
    Leave all the others
    waitin' on a faraway shore.

    [Bette & Barry:] Out on the briny
    where the moon's big and shiny,
    melting your heart of stone.
    I'm gonna get you
    on a slow boat to China,
    all to myself alone.

    [Barry:] "Bette, I didn't know you felt that way about me."
    [Bette:] "I don't. I need a piano player."
    [Barry:] "Ahh, just like the old days!"
    [Bette:] "You're not gonna change keys on me, are ya?"
    [Barry:] "Unh Huh."
    [Bette:] "Ohhh!"

    [Bette:] I'm gonna get you
    [Barry:] You're never gonna get me.
    [Bette:] on a slow boat to China
    [Barry:] Not in a fast or slow boat to any crick.
    [Bette:] all to myself alone;
    [Barry:] I just get motion sick
    [Bette:] I'm gonna make you mine.
    [Barry:] Ha, you'll have to stand in line.
    [Bette:] Get you and keep you in my band evermore;
    [Barry:] Now there's a new attack.
    [Bette:] Leave all the others on the shore.
    [Barry:] For me they'd swim to China, to China and back.

    [Bette:] Out on the briny
    [Barry:] I wouldn't like the ocean,
    [Bette:] where the moon's big and shiny,
    [Barry:] not even in a rowboat.
    [Bette:] melting your heart of stone.
    Come on, what do you say?
    [Barry:] Ha ha, you always get your way.
    [Bette & Barry:] I'm gonna get you
    on a slow boat to China,
    all to myself alone, to-ge-ther.
    All to myself alone.

    My boat sails stormy seas
    Battles oceans filled with tears
    At last my port's in view
    Now that I've discovered you

    For my Lady, Moody Blues

    Re: Lyrical Moments...

    The wild and windy night
    That the rain washed away
    Has left a pool of tears
    Crying for the day.
    Why leave me standing here?
    Let me know the way.

    Many times I've been alone
    And many times I've cried,
    Anyway you'll never know
    The many ways I've tried.

    But still they lead me back
    To the long, winding road
    You left me standing here
    A long, long time ago
    Don't leave me waiting here
    Lead me to your door.

    The long and winding road, The Beatles

    Shiny happy people laughing
    Meet me in the crowd
    People people
    Throw your love around
    Love me love me
    Take it into town
    Happy happy
    Put it in the ground
    Where the flowers grow
    Gold and silver shine

    Shiny happy people holding hands
    Shiny happy people laughing

    Everyone around love them, love them
    Put it in your hands
    Take it take it
    There's no time to cry
    Happy happy
    Put it in your heart
    Where tomorrow shines
    Gold and silver shine

    Shiny happy people holding hands
    Shiny happy people laughing

    Re: Lyrical Moments...

    I must've dreamed a thousand dreams
    Been haunted by a million screams
    But I can hear the marching feet
    They're moving into the street.

    Now did you read the news today
    They say the danger's gone away
    But I can see the fires still alight
    They're burning into the night.

    There's too many men
    Too many people
    Making too many problems
    And not much love to go round
    Can't you see
    This is a land of confusion.

    This is the world we live in
    And these are the hands were given
    Use them and let's start trying
    To make it a place worth living in.

    Ooh superman where are you now
    When everything's gone wrong somehow
    The men of steel, the men of power
    Are losing control by the hour.

    This is the time
    This is the place
    So we look for the future
    But there's not much love to go round
    Tell me why, this is a land of confusion.

    Long ago -
    Ooh when the sun was shining
    Yes and the stars were bright
    All through the night
    And the sound of your laughter
    As I held you tight
    So long ago -

    I won't be coming home tonight
    My generation will put it right
    We're not just making promises
    That we know, we'll never keep.

    Land of Confusion - Phil Collins

    Re: Lyrical Moments...

    I never want to play the games that people play
    I never want to hear the things they gotta say
    I've found everything I need
    I never wanted anymore than I can see
    I only want you to believe

    If it's wrong to tell the truth
    Then what am I supposed to do
    When all I want to do is speak my mind (speak my mind)
    If it's wrong to do what's right
    I'm prepared to testify
    If loving you with all my heart's a crime
    Then I'm guilty

    I wanna give you all the things you never had
    Don't try to tell me how he treats you isn't bad
    I need you back in my life
    I never wanted just to be the other guy (be the other guy
    I never wanted to live a lie

    If it's wrong to tell the truth
    What am I supposed to do
    All I want to do is speak my mind (speak my mind)
    If it's wrong to do what's right
    I'm prepared to testify
    If loving you with all my heart's a crime
    Then I'm guilty

    Girl I followed my heart
    Followed the truth
    Right from the start it led me to you
    Please don't leave me this way
    I'm guilty now all I have to say

    If it's wrong to tell the truth
    Then what am I supposed to do
    When all I want to do is speak my mind (speak my mind)
    If it's wrong to do what's right
    I'm prepared to testify
    If loving you with all my hearts a crime
    Then I'm guilty

    What am I supposed to do
    Then I'm guilty
    All I wanna do is speak my mind
    Guilty
    Then I'm guilty
    I'm prepared to testify
    If it's wrong to do what's right then tell me about this feeling inside
    If loving you with all my hearts a crime
    I'm Guilty

    Guilty~Blue
