They give us a room
with a view of the beautiful Rhine
They give us a room
with a view of the beautiful Rhine
Gimme a muddy old creek
in Texas any old time
I've got those hup, two, three, four
occupation G.I. Blues
From my G.I. hair to the heels of my G.I. shoes
And if I don't go stateside soon
I'm gonna blow my fuse
We get hasenpfeffer
and black pumpernickel for chow
We get hasenpfeffer
and black pumpernickel for chow
I'd blow my next month's pay
for a slice of Texas cow
We'd like to be heroes,
but all we do here is march
We'd like to be heroes,
but all we do here is MARCH
And they don't give the Purple Heart
for a fallen arch
I've got those hup, two, three, four
occupation G.I. Blues
From my G.I. hair to the heels of my G.I. shoes
And if I don't go stateside soon
I'm gonna blow my fuse
The frauleins are pretty as flowers
But we can't make a pass
The frauleins are pretty as flowers
But we can't make a pass
Cause they're all wearin' signs saying:
"Keepen sie off the grass"
I've got those hup, two, three, four
occupation G.I. Blues
From my G.I. hair to the heels of my G.I. shoes
And if I don't go stateside soon
I'm gonna blow my fuse

Attention
Company, march

I'm on my way, here I come
You're a man on the run
Heading straight into my arms
Although you try to escape
I pursue you like fate
Don't want to cause you alarm

So hands above your head
Just one move, you'll be dead
You must do as I desire
Get this understood
It's just for your good
One false step and I'll fire

Right forward
About turn, MARCH

That love and war are the same
It's a hard-hitting game
Gotta be tough to survive
You know I won't set you free
So surrender to me
I'll make you glad you're alive

'Cause you're a property
That means a lot to me
I'm gonna keep you in line
Best do as I say
Its only fools run away
You'll love serving your turn

Baby
Lover, march

Woo hoo!

'Cause you're a property
That means a lot to me
I'm gonna keep you in line
Best do as I say
Its only fools run away
You'll love ѕerving your turn

Baby
Lover, quick march
Baby

[Verse 1]
I lost at love before
Got mad and closed the door
But you said try just once more

[Pre-Chorus]
I chose you for the one
Now we're havin' so much fun
You treated me so kind
I'm about to lose my mind

[Chorus]
You made me so very happy
I'm so GLAD you came into my life

[Verse 2]
The others were untrue
But when it came to lovin' you
I'd spend my whole life with you

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you came and you took control
You touch my very soul
You always show me that
Lovin' you is where it's at


[Chorus]
You made me so very happy
I'm so glad you came into my life
Thank you, baby
Yeah, yeah

[Bridge]
I love you so much you see
You're even in my dreams
I can hear
Baby, I can hear you calling me
I'm so in love with you
All I ever want to do is
Thank you baby
Thank you baby

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
You made me so very happy
I'm so glad you came into my life
You made me so very happy
You made me so, so very happy, baby
I'm so glad you came into my life

Mmm, I wanna thank you, girl
Every day of my life I wanna thank you
You made me so very happy
Oh, I wanna spend my life thankin' you

My baby's long and tall
Shaped like a cannonball
Say, every time she loves me
Lordy, you can hear me squall

She cried, "Ooh-wee
I believe I'll change my mind"
She said, "I'm so GLAD I'm living"
I cried, "I'm so glad you're mine"

My baby knows just how
To treat me right
Gives me plenty loving
Morning, noon and night

She cried, "Ooh-wee
I believe I'll change my mind"
She said, "I'm so glad I'm living"
I cried, "I'm so glad you're mine"

When my baby does
What she does to me
I climb the highest mountain
Dive in the deepest sea

She cried, "Ooh-wee
I believe I'll change my mind"
She said, "I'm so glad I'm living"
I cried, "I'm so glad you're mine"

My baby's lips are red
And sweet like wine
And when she kisses me
I get high every time

She cried, "Ooh-wee
I believe I'll change my mind"
She said, "I'm so glad I'm living"
I cried, "I'm so glad you're mine"

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No, I won't be afraid
Oh, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me

So DARLIN', darlin'
Stand by me, oh, stand by me
Oh, stand, stand by me
Stand by me

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me

And darlin', darlin'
Stand by me, oh, stand by me

The way of love - Francoise Hardy


only registered users can see external links


When you meet a boy
That you like a lot
And you fall in love
But he loves you not

If a flame should start
As you hold him near
Better keep your heart
Out of danger, dear

For the WAY of love
Is a way of woe
And the day may come
When you see him go

Then what will you do?
When he sets you free
Just the way that you
Said goodbye to me

When you meet a boy
That you like a lot
And you fall in love
But he loves you not

If a flame should start
As you hold him near
Better keep your heart
Out of danger, dear

For the way of love
Is the way of woe
And the day may come
When you see him go

Then what will you do?
When he sets you free
Just the way that you
Said goodbye to me

That's the way of love
The way... of love

Life is a mystery
Everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home
When you call my name, it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna TAKE you there
In the midnight hour, I can feel your power
Just like a prayer, you know I'll take you there
I hear your voice
It's like an angel sighin'
I have no choice
I hear your voice
Feels like flying
I close my eyes
Oh God I think I'm fallin'
Out of the sky
I close my eyes
Heaven help me
When you call my name, it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour, I can feel your power
Just like a prayer, you know I'll take you there
Like a child
You whisper softly to me
You're in control
Just like a child
Now I'm dancing
It's like a dream
No end and no beginning
You're here with me
It's like a dream
Let the choir sing
When you call my name, it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour, I can feel your power
Just like a prayer, you know I'll take you there
When you call my name, it's like a little prayer

Something beautiful remains - Tina Turner

Tears will leave no stains
Time will ease the pain
For every life that fades
Something beautiful remains
We're living in a world of stars and dust
Between heaven and all that surrounds us
We're travelers here, spirits passing through
And the love we give, is all that will endure
Hey now, what we had is gone
But I still remember you
Just like a rose after the rain
Something beautiful remains
Tears will leave no stains
Time will ease the PAIN
For every life that fades
Something beautiful remains
Now the darkness falls
The sun is going down
One by one, the stars are coming out
Tide comes in, washes footprints from the sand
As one day ends, a new day must begin
Hey now, though we are apart
You're forever in my dreams
Hey now, love is lost again
What you gonna do about it?
What you gonna say?
Something beautiful remains
Tears will leave no stains
Time will ease the pain
For every life that fades
(Something) something beautiful remains
And you wonder sometimes how you carry on
When you've lost the love the you knew
But it's alright, alright
To your own heart be true
Tears will leave no stains
Time will ease the pain
For every life that fades
(Something) something beautiful remains
Tears will leave no stains (tears will leave no stains)
Time will ease the pain (time will ease the pain)
For every life that fades (for every life, for every life that fades)
Something beautiful remains (something beautiful remains)
Tears will leave no stains (something beautiful)
Time will ease the pain (time will ease the pain)
For every life that fades (every life that fades)
Something beautiful remains (something beautiful)

Feels like sex- Geri Halliwell


only registered users can see external links


Have you ever felt too hot to go to bed
Touched yourself instead and watched your body talk
Just let your body talk
Have you ever felt just too hungry for love
The more you get you find that it's just not enough
But you really can't give it up
All you people out there
Put your hands up in the air
Are you feeling you know what
Or do you really care
If it feels like love
Then give it baby that's a rush
If it feels like PAIN, pain, pain, pain
It's really just the same
If the mood is rude
Then you got the right attitude
And ya better get down, you don't have to get undressed
Just because if feels like sex
Have you ever had a mind too dirty to read
Kinky freaks why don't you get down on your knees
I'm getting hard to please
Have you ever whipped love and left it to cry
Ask yourself the question
Does the cherry pie leave you satisfied
Turn out the light, so I can feel what your thinking
Do you think we'd get it passed the watershed
Let's take it slow, 'cause you know
I know you know, sex is in your head
Baby I want you to know
You're not the only one
I'm on my way to sexual healing
Do you want to come?

You only live twice - Nancy Sinatra


only registered users can see external links


You only live twice or so it seems
One life for yourself and one for your dreams
You drift through the years and life seems tame
Till one dream appears and love is it's name

And love is a stranger who'll beckon you on
Don't think of the DANGER or the stranger is gone

This dream is for you, so pay the price
Make one dream come true, you only live twice

And love is a stranger who'll beckon you on
Don't think of the danger or the stranger is gone

This dream is for you, so pay the price
Make one dream come true, you only live twice

The way of love - Cher

When you meet a boy
That you like a lot
And you fall in love
But he loves you not

If a flame should start
As you hold him near
Better keep your heart
Out of DANGER, dear

For the way of love
Is a way of woe
And the day may come
When you'll see him go

Then what will ya do
When he sets you free
Just the way that you
Said goodbye to me?

When you meet a boy
That you like a lot
And you fall in love
But he loves you not

If a flame should start
As you hold him near
Better keep your heart

And the day may come
When you'll see him go

Then what will ya do
When he sets you free
Just the way that you
Said goodbye to me?

That's the way of love

I’m so lonesome I could cry - Elvis

Hear that lonesome whip-poor-will?
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight TRAIN is whining low
I'm so lonesome I could cry

Did you ever see a robin weep
When leaves begin to die?
That means he's lost the will to live
I'm so lonesome I could cry

The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry
I'm so lonesome I could cry

Lightning express - The Everly Brothers


only registered users can see external links

The lightning express from the depot so grand
Had started out on its way
All of the passengers that were on board
Seemed to be happy and gay
But one little boy who sat by himself
Was reading a letter he had
You could plainly tell by the look on his face
That the contents of it made him sad
The stern old conductor then started his round
Taking tickets from everyone there
And finally reaching the sad little boy
He gruffly demanded his fare
'I have no ticket' the boy then replied
'But I'll pay you back someday'
'Then I'll put you off at the next stop we make'
But he stopped when he heard the boy say
'Please Mr. Conductor
Don't put me off of this TRAIN
The best friend I have in this world sir
Is waiting for me in pain
Expecting to die any moment sir
And may not live through the day
I wanna reach home and kiss mother goodbye
Before God takes her away'
A girl sitting near was heard to exclaim
'If you put him off, it's a shame'
Taking his hand, a collection she made
The boy's way was paid on the train
'I'm obliged to you miss for your kindness to me'
'You're welcome, ' she said, never fear
Each time the conductor would pass through the car
The boy's words would ring in his ear
'Please Mr. Conductor
Don't put me off of this train
The best friend I have in this world sir
Is waiting for me in pain
Expecting to die any moment sir
And may not live through the day
I wanna reach home and kiss mother goodbye
Before God takes her away'

A-don't you know she's out to prove, she can really score
Never saw parts move boy, like that before
To flag you down, mmh-that's her goal
Scoot before you lose control
And spinout, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Spinout, let me hear you spinout
Alright

Cassandra - ABBA


only registered users can see external links


Down in the street, they're all singing and shouting
Staying alive though the city is dead
Hiding their shame behind hollow laughter
While you are crying alone on your bed
Pity Cassandra that no one believed you
But then again you were lost from the start
Now we must suffer and sell our secrets
Bargain, playing smart, aching in our hearts
Sorry Cassandra, I misunderstood
Now the last day is dawning
Some of us wanted, but none of us would
Listen to words of WARNING
But on the darkest of nights
Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleep
Sorry Cassandra, I didn't believe
You really had the power
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
Until the final hour
So in the morning your ship will be sailing
Now that your father and sister are gone
There is no reason for you to linger
You're grieving deeply but still moving on
You know the future is casting a shadow
No one else sees it, but you know your fate
Packing your bags, being slow and thorough
Knowing, though you're late, that ship is sure to wait
Sorry Cassandra, I misunderstood
Now the last day is dawning
Some of us wanted, but none of us would
Listen to words of warning
But on the darkest of nights
Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleep
Sorry Cassandra, I didn't believe
You really had the power
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
Until the final hour
I watched the ship leaving harbor at sunrise
Sails almost slack in the cool morning rain
She stood on deck, just a tiny figure
Rigid and restrained, blue eyes filled with pain
Sorry Cassandra, I misunderstood
Now the last day is dawning
Some of us wanted, but none of us would
Listen to words of warning
But on the darkest of nights
Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleep
Sorry Cassandra, I didn't believe
You really had the power
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
Until the final hour
I'm sorry Cassandra
I'm sorry Cassandra
I'm sorry Cassandra
I'm sorry Cassandra
I'm sorry Cassandra

I’ve just seen a face - The Beatles

I've just seen a face
I can't forget the time or place
Where we just met
SHE’S just the girl for me
And I want all the world to see
We've met, mm-mm-mm-m'mm-mm
Had it been another day
I might have looked the other way
And I'd have never been aware
But as it is I'll dream of her
Tonight, di-di-di-di'n'di
Fallin', yes, I am fallin'
And she keeps callin'
Me back again
I have never known
The like of this, I've been alone
And I have missed things
And kept out of sight
But other girls were never quite
Like this, di-di-di-di'n'di
Fallin', yes, I am fallin'
And she keeps callin'
Me back again
Fallin', yes, I am fallin'
And she keeps callin'
Me back again
I've just seen a face
I can't forget the time or place
Where we just met
She's just the girl for me
And I want all the world to see
We've met, mm-mm-mm-di-di-di
Fallin', yes, I am fallin'
And she keeps callin'
Me back again
Fallin', yes, I am fallin'
And she keeps callin'
Me back again
Oh, fallin', yes, I am fallin'
And she keeps callin'
Me back again

Separate ways - Elvis


only registered users can see external links


I see a change is coming to our lives
It's not the same as it used to be
And it's not too late to realise our mistake
We're just not right for each other
Love has slipped away, left us only friends
We almost seem like strangers
All that's left between us are the memories we shared
Of times we thought we cared for each other
There's nothing left to do but go our separate ways
And pick up all the pieces left behind us
And maybe someday, somewhere along the way
Another love will find us
Some day when SHE’S older, maybe she will understand
Why her mom and dad are not together
The tears that she will cry when I have to say goodbye
Will tear at my heart forever
There's nothing left to do but go our separate ways
And pick up all the pieces left behind us
And maybe someday, somewhere along the way
Another love will find us
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Another love will find us

Leave right now - Will Young


only registered users can see external links


I'm here just like I said
Though its breaking every rule I've ever made
My racing heart is just the same
Why make it strong to break it once again?

And I'd love to say I do
Give everythin' to you
But I can never now be true
So I say

I think I'd better leave right now
Before I fall any deeper
I think I'd better leave right now
Feeling weaker and weaker
Somebody better show me how
Before I fall any deeper
I think I'd better leave right now

I'm here so please explain
Why you're opening up a healing wound again
I'm a little more careful perhaps it shows
But if I lose the highs at least I'm spared the lows

Now I tremble in your arms
What could be the HARM
To feel my spirit calm
So I say

I think I'd better leave right now
Before I fall any deeper
I think I'd better leave right now
Feeling weaker and weaker
Somebody better show me how
Before I fall any deeper
I think I'd better leave right now

I wouldn't know how to say
How good it feels seeing you today
I see you've got your smile back
Like you say your right on track

But you may never know why
Once bitten twice is shy
If I'm proud perhaps I should explain
I couldn't bear to lose you again

I think I'd better leave right now
Before I fall any deeper
I think I'd better leave right now
I'm feeling weaker and weaker
Somebody better show me how
Before I fall any deeper
I think I'd better leave right now
Yes I will

I think I'd better leave right now
I'm feeling weaker and weaker
Somebody better show me how
Before I fall any deeper
I think I'd better leave right now

Elusive butterfly - Bob Lind

You might wake up some mornin'
To the sound of something moving past your window in the wind
And if you're quick enough to rise
You'll catch a fleeting glimpse of someone's fading shadow
Out on the new horizon
You may see the floating motion of a distant pair of wings
And if the sleep has left your ears
You might hear footsteps running through an open meadow
Don't be concerned, it will not HARM you
It's only me pursuing somethin' I'm not sure of
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
You might have heard my footsteps
Echo softly in the distance through the canyons of your mind
I might have even called your name
As I ran searching after something to believe in
You might have seen me runnin'
Through the long-abandoned ruins of the dreams you left behind
If you remember something there
That glided past you followed close by heavy breathin'
Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing somethin' I'm not sure of
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love

Polk Salad Annie - Tony Joe White

[Spoken Introduction]
Uh!
If some of ya'll never been down south too much
I'm gonna tell you a little bit about this
So that you'll understand what I'm talkin' about
Down there we have a plant that grows out in the woods and
The fields
Looks somethin' like a turnip green
Everybody calls it polk salad
Polk salad
Uh!
Used to know a girl lived down there
And she'd go out in the evenings and pick her a MESS of it
Carry it home and cook it for supper
'Cause that's about all they had to eat
They did alright

[Verse 1]
And down in Louisiana
Where the alligators grow so mean
There lived a girl that I swear to the world
Made the alligators look tame

[Chorus]
Polk salad Annie, polk salad Annie
Everybody said it was a shame
'Cause her momma was a-workin' on the chain gang
(A mean, vicious woman) Uh!

[Verse 2]
Every day 'for suppertime
She'd go down by the truck patch
And pick her a mess of polk salad
Carry it home in a tote sack

[Chorus]
Polk salad Annie
The gators got your granny, chomp, chomp, chomp
Everybody says it was a shame
'Cause her momma was a workin' on the chain gang
(A wretched, spiteful, straight-razor totin' woman, heh-heh)
(Lord, have mercy, pick a mess of it)

[Harmonica Solo]
Uh!

[Verse 3]
Her daddy was lazy and no 'count
Claimed he had a bad back
All her brothers were fit for was stealin' watermelons
Out of my truck patch

[Chorus]
Polk salad Annie
The gators got your granny, woah ooh-hoo
Everybody said it was a shame
'Cause her momma was a-workin' on the chain gang

A mess of blues - Elvis

I just got your letter baby
Too bad you can't come home
I swear, I'm goin' crazy
Sittin' here all alone
Since you're gone, I got a MESS of blues
I ain't slept a wink since Sunday
I can't eat a thing all day
Every day is just blue Monday
Since you've been away
Since you're gone I got a mess of blues
Whoops, there goes a teardrop
Rollin' down my face
If you cry when you're in love
Sure ain't no disgrace
I gotta get myself together
Before I lose my mind
I'm gonna catch the next train goin'
And leave my blues behind
Since you're gone I got a mess of blues
Whoops, there goes a teardrop
Rollin' down my face
If you cry when you're in love
Sure ain't no disgrace
I gotta get myself together
Before I lose my mind
I'm gonna catch the next train goin'
And leave my blues behind
Since you're gone I got a mess of blues
Since you're gone I got a mess of blues
Since you're gone I got a mess of blues

It’s a heartache - Bonnie Tyler


only registered users can see external links


It's a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Hits you when it's too late
Hits you when you're down
It's a FOOL’S game
Nothing but a fool's game
Standing in the cold rain
Feeling like a clown
It's a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Love him 'til your arms break
Then he let's you down
It ain't right with love to share
When you find he doesn't care for you
It ain't wise to need someone
As much as I depended on you
Oh, it's a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Hits you when it's too late
Hits you when you're down
It's a fool's game
Nothing but a fool's game
Standing in the cold rain
Feeling like a clown
It ain't right with love to share
When you find he doesn't care for you
It ain't wise to need someone
As much as I depended on you
Oh, it's a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
You love him 'til your arms break
Then he let's you down
It's a fool's game
Standing in the cold rain
Feelin' like a clown
It's a heartache
Love him 'til your arms break
Then he let's you down
It's a fool's game

This was one of my first thoughts. Well played.


Fool(if you think it’s over) - Chris Rea

[Verse 1]
A dying flame
You're free again
Who could love
And do that to you?

All dressed in black
He won't be coming back
Well, save your tears
You've got years and years

[Pre-Chorus]
The pains of seventeens
Unreal, they're only dreams
Save your crying for the day

[Chorus]
FOOL if you think it's over
'Cause you said goodbye
Fool if you think it's over
I'll tell you why

New born eyes always cry with pain
At the first look at the morning sun
You're a fool if you think it's over
It's just begun

[Verse 2]
Miss Teenage Dream
Such a tragic scene
He knocked your crown
And ran away

First wound of pride
And how you cried and cried
But save your tears
You've got years and years

[Chorus]
Fool if you think it's over
'Cause you said goodbye
Fool if you think it's over
I'll tell you why

[Saxophone Solo]
(Fool if you think it's over)
(Fool if you think it's over)

[Bridge]
I'll buy your first good wine
We'll have a real good time
Save your crying for the day

[Verse 3]
That may not come
But anyone
Who had to pay
Would laugh at you and say

[Chorus]
Fool if you think it's over
'Cause you said goodbye
Fool if you think it's over
I'll tell you why

New born eyes always cry with pain
At the first look at the morning sun
You're a fool if you think it's over
It's just begun

[Outro Chorus]
I'll buy your first good wine
Oooh, we'll have a real good time
Save your crying for the day

New born eyes always cry with pain
At the first look at the morning sun
You're a fool if you think it's over
It's just begun

Memories are made of this - Dean Martin


only registered users can see external links


[Intro]
The SWEET, sweet memories you've given me
You can't beat the memories you've given me

[Verse 1]
Take one fresh and tender kiss
Add one stolen night of bliss
One girl, one boy, some grief, some joy
Memories are made of this

[Verse 2]
Don't forget a small moonbeam
Fold it lightly with a dream
Your lips and mine, two sips of wine
Memories are made of this

[Bridge]
Then add the wedding bells
One house where lovers dwell
Three little kids for the flavor
Stir carefully through the days
See how the flavor stays
These are the dreams you will savor

[Verse 3]
With His blessings from above
Serve it generously with love
One man, one wife, one love through life
Memories are made of this

The sweetest taboo - Sade

If I tell you, if I tell you now
Will you keep on, will you keep on loving me?
If I tell you, if I tell you how I feel
Will you keep bringing out the best in me?

You give me, you give me the SWEETEST taboo
You give me, you're giving me the sweetest taboo
Too good for me

There's a quiet storm and it never felt like this before
There's a quiet storm that is you
There's a quiet storm and it never felt this hot before
Giving me something that's taboo
(Sometimes I think you're just too good for me)

You give me the sweetest taboo
That's why I'm in love in with you (with you)
You give me the sweetest taboo
Too good for me
(Sometimes I think you're just too good for me)

I'd do anything for you, I'd stand out in the rain
Anything you want me to do, don't let it slip away
There's a quiet storm and it never felt like this before
There's a quiet storm, I think it's you
There's a quiet storm and I never felt this hot before
Giving me something that's taboo

You give me the (you give me, you give me the) sweetest taboo
That's why I'm in love with you (with you)
You give me, keep giving me the sweetest taboo
Too good for me

You've got the biggest heart
Sometimes I think you're just too good for me
Every day is Christmas, and every night is New Year's Eve
Will you keep on loving me
Will you keep on, will you keep on
Bringing out the best in me

Word of the day for Saturday 14th February - SWEET

How much do I love you? I'll tell you no lie
How DEEP is the ocean? How high is the sky?
How many times a day do I think of you?
How many roses are sprinkled with dew?

How far would I travel to be where you are?
How far is the journey from here to a star?
And if I ever lost you, how much would I cry?
How deep is the ocean? How high is the sky?

How far would I travel to be where you are?
How far is the journey from here to a star?
And if I ever lost you, how much would I cry?
How deep is the ocean? How high is the sky?
How high is the sky?

When I was a little girl
I had a rag doll
Only doll I've ever owned
Now I love you just the way I loved that rag doll
But only now my love has grown
And it gets stronger, in every way
And it gets deeper, let me say
And it gets higher, day by day

And do I love you my oh my
Yeah, river DEEP, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby

When you were a young boy
Did you have a puppy
That always followed you around
Well I'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy
No I'll never let you down
'Cause it grows stronger, like a river flows
And it gets bigger baby, and heaven knows
And it gets sweeter baby, as it grows

And do I love you my oh my
Yeah, river deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby

I love you baby like a flower loves the spring
And I love you baby just like Tina loves to sing
And I love you baby like a school boy loves his pet
And I love you baby, river deep, mountain high
Oh yeah you've gotta believe me
River deep, mountain high
Do I love you my oh my, oh baby
River deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby

Stranger on the shore - Andy Williams


only registered users can see external links


Here I stand, watching the tide go out
So all alone and blue
Just dreaming dreams of you
I watched your ship as it SAILED out to sea
Taking all my dreams
And taking all of me
The sighing of the waves
The wailing of the wind
The tears in my eyes burn
Pleading, "My love, return"
Why, oh, why must I go on like this?
Shall I just be a lonely stranger on the shore?
The sighing of the waves
The wailing of the wind
The tears in my eyes burn
Pleading, "My love, return"
Why, oh, why must I go on like this?
Shall I just be a lonely stranger on the shore?

The last farewell - Roger Whittaker


only registered users can see external links


There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbor
Tomorrow for old England she SAILS
Far away from your land of endless sunshine
To my land full of rainy skies and gales
And I shall be aboard that ship tomorrow
Though my heart is full of tears at this farewell
For you are beautiful, and I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
For you are beautiful, and I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
I heard there's a wicked war a-blazing
And the taste of war I know so very well
Even now I see the foreign flag a-raising
Their guns on fire as we sail into Hell
I have no fear of death, it brings no sorrow
But how bitter will be this last farewell
For you are beautiful, and I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
For you are beautiful, and I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
Though death and darkness gather all about me
And my ship be torn apart upon the seas
I shall smell again the fragrance of these islands
In the heaving waves that brought me once to thee
And should I return home safe again to England
I shall watch the English mist roll through the dale
For you are beautiful, and I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
For you are beautiful, and I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell

Baby, don't go
PRETTY baby, please don't go
I never had a mother
I hardly knew my dad
I've been in town for 18 years
And you're the only boy I've had
I can't stay
Maybe I'll be back some day
Baby, don't go
Pretty baby, please don't go
I love you so
Pretty baby, please don't go
I never had no money
I bought at the second hand store
The way this old town laughs at me
I just can't take it no more
I can't stay
I'm gonna be a lady some day
Baby, don't go
Pretty baby, please don't go
I love you so
Pretty baby, please don't go
When I get to the city
My tears will all be dried
My eyes will look so pretty
No one's gonna know I cried
Yes I'm goin' away
Maybe I'll be back some day
Baby, don't go
Maybe I'll be back someday
Baby, don't go
Maybe I'll be back someday

On our block all of the guys call her flamingo
Cause her hair glows like the sun
And her eyes can light the skies
When she walks she moves so fine like a flamingo
Crimson dress that clings so tight
She's out of reach and out of sight
When she walks by she brightens up the neighborhood
Oh every guy would make her his if he just could
If she just would
Some sweet day I'll make her mine pretty flamingo
Then every guy will envy me
Cause paradise is where I'll be
PRETTY flamingo
Pretty flamingo
When she walks by she brightens up the neighborhood
Oh every guy would make her his if he just could
If she just would
Some sweet day I'll make her mine pretty flamingo
Then every guy will envy me
Cause paradise is where I'll be
Sha la la la la la la pretty flamingo
Some day I'll make her mine
Yes, I will
Yes, I will

CREME TANGERINE and montelimar
A ginger sling with a pineapple heart
A coffee dessert, yes, you know it's good news
But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle

Cool cherry cream, nice apple tart
I feel your taste all the time we're apart
Coconut fudge really blows down those blues
But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle

You might not feel it now
But when the pain cuts through
You're going to know and how
The sweat is going to fill your head
When it becomes too much
You'll shout aloud

(Instrumental/Solo)

But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle

You know that what you eat you are
But what is sweet now turns so sour
We all know obla-dibla-da
But can you show me where you are?

Creme tangerine and montelimar
A ginger sling with a pineapple heart
A coffee dessert, yes, you know it's good news
But you'll have to have them all pulled out

Yes you'll have to have them all pulled out

They seek him here, they seek him there
His clothes are loud, but never SQUARE
It will make or break him, so he's got to buy the best
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion
And when he does his little rounds
'Round the boutiques of London town
Eagerly pursuing all the latest fads and trends
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion
Oh yes, he is (oh yes, he is)
Oh yes, he is (oh yes, he is)
He thinks he is a flower to be looked at
And when he pulls his frilly nylon panties right up tight
He feels a dedicated follower of fashion
Oh yes, he is (oh yes, he is)
Oh yes, he is (oh yes, he is)
There's one thing that he loves and that is flattery
One week he's in polka-dots, the next week he's in stripes
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion
They seek him here, they seek him there
In Regent Street and Leicester Square
Everywhere the Carnabetian army marches on
Each one a dedicated follower of fashion
Oh yes, he is (oh yes, he is)
Oh yes, he is (oh yes, he is)
His world is built 'round discotheques and parties
This pleasure-seeking individual always looks his best
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion
Oh yes, he is (oh yes, he is)
Oh yes, he is (oh yes, he is)
He flits from shop to shop just like a butterfly
In matters of the cloth, he is as fickle as can be
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion
He's a dedicated follower of fashion
He's a dedicated follower of fashion

Baby I don’t care - Elvis

… You don't like crazy music, you don't like rockin' bands
You just wanna go to a movie show
And sit there holdin' hands
You're so SQUARE
Baby, I don't care
… You don't like hot rod racin' or drivin' late at night
You just wanna park where it's nice and dark
You just wanna hold me tight
You're so square
Baby, I don't care
… You don't know any dance steps that are new
But no one else could love me like you do, do, do, do
… I don't know why my heart flips, I only know it does
I wonder why I love you, baby
I guess it's just because
You're so square
Baby, I don't care
… Baby, I don't care
Baby, I don't care
Baby, I don't care
… I don't know why my heart flips, I only know it does
I wonder why I love you, baby
I guess it's just because
You're so square
Baby, I don't care
… Baby, I don't care
Baby, I don't care, care, care, care
I don't care, care, care, care

Devil woman - Cliff Richard

I've had nothing, but bad luck
Since the day I saw the cat at my door
So I came into you sweet lady
Answering your mystical call
Crystal ball on the table
Showing the future, the past
Same cat with them evil eyes
And I knew it was a spell she cast
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her MIND
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you from behind
Give me the ring on your finger
Let me see the lines on your hand
I can see me a tall dark stranger
Giving you what you hadn't planned
I drank the potion she offered me
I found myself on the floor
Then I looked in those big green eyes
And I wondered what I'd came there for
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you from behind
Stay away, look out
If you're out on a moonlit night
Be careful of them neighborhood strays
Of a lady with long black hair
Tryin' to win you with her feminine ways
Crystal ball on the table
Showing the future, the past
Same cat with them evil eyes
You'd better get out of there fast
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you

Well I woke up this morning
You were on my MIND
I said, you were on my mind
Oh I got troubles, whoa whoa
I got worries, whoa whoa
I got wounds to bind
So I went to the corner
Just to ease my pain
I said, just to ease my pain
Oh I got troubles, whoa whoa
I got worries, whoa whoa
I came home again
But I woke up this morning
You were on my mind
You were on my mind
Oh I got troubles, whoa whoa
I got worries, whoa whoa
I got wounds to bind
But I've got a feeling, yeah
Down in my shoes
I said, way down in my shoes
Well I've got to ramble, whoa whoa
I've got to move on, whoa whoa
I've got to walk away my blues
When I woke up this morning
You were on my mind
I said, you were on my mind
Well I got troubles, whoa whoa
I got worries, whoa whoa
I got wounds to bind, yeah
