Joe Hill - Joan Baez

I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night,
Alive as you and me.
Says I "But Joe, you're ten years dead"
"I never died" said he,
"I never died" said he.

"The Copper Bosses killed you Joe,
They shot you Joe" says I.
"Takes more than guns to kill a man"
Says Joe "I didn't die"
Says Joe "I didn't die"

"In Salt Lake City, Joe," says I,
Him standing by my bed,
"They framed you on a murder CHARGE,"
Says Joe, "But I ain't dead,"
Says Joe, "But I ain't dead."

And standing there as big as life
And smiling with his eyes.
Says Joe "What they can never kill
Went on to organize,
Went on to organize"

From San Diego up to Maine,
In every mine and mill,
Where working men defend their rights,
It's there you find Joe Hill,
It's there you find Joe Hill!

I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night,
Alive as you and me.
Says I "But Joe, you're ten years dead"
"I never died" said he,
"I never died" said he.

Let’s go fly a kite - David Tomlinson from Mary Poppins ( the original)

With tuppence for paper and strings
You can have your own set of wings
With your feet on the ground
You're a bird in a flight
With your fist holding tight
To the string of your kite
… Oh, oh, oh!
Let's go fly a kite
UP to the highest height!
Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring
Up through the atmosphere
Up where the air is clear
Oh, let's go fly a kite!
… When you send it flyin' up there
All at once you're lighter than air
You can dance on the breeze
Over 'ouses and trees
With your first 'olding tight
To the string of your kite
… Oh, oh, oh!
Let's go fly a kite
Up to the highest height!
Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring
Up through the atmosphere
Up where the air is clear
Oh, let's go fly a kite!

Then I could cover up my spots
Not play connect the dots
I just wanna disappear

Up, up, up
Can only go up from here
Up, up, up
Where the clouds gonna clear
Up, up, up
There's no way but up from here

Even something as simple as
Forgetting to fill up on gas
There ain't no explanation why
Things like that can make you cry
Just gotta learn to have a laugh

Where the clouds gonna clear
Up, up, up
There's no way but up from here

Don't worry, it won't last for long
Yeah, it's all gonna come around
Don't go let it get you down
You gotta keep on holding on

It's about as bad as it could be (Bad as it could be)
Seems everybody's bugging me (Everybody's bugging me)
Like nothing wants to go my way

Nothing's coming easily

Sun is shinin' in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin', everybody's in the play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day? Hey
Runnin' down the avenue
See how the sun shines brightly in the city
On the streets where once was pity
Mr. BLUE Sky is living here today, hey
Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?
Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long)

Welcome to the human race
A celebration, Mr. Blue Sky's up there waitin'
And today is the day we've waited for
Oh, Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?
Hey there, Mr. Blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around, see what you do
Everybody smiles at you

Now his hand is on your shoulder
Never mind, I'll remember you this
I'll remember you this way

You had to hide away for so long (so long)

Or you can kiss me on a Tuesday a Tuesday a Tuesday

But never ever on a Sunday a Sunday a Sunday

Any day you say but my day of rest
Just name the day that you like the best
Only stay away on my day of rest

Or try to kiss me on a grey day a May day a pay day

There’s a honky tonk angel (who will take me back in) - Elvis

… When was the last time you KISSED me
And I don't mean a touch now and then
It's been a long time since you felt like my woman
And even longer since I felt like your man
… So tell me if you think it's over
And I'll leave it up to you how it ends
'Cause if you don't want the love I can give you
Well there's a honky tonk angel who will take me back in
… You never look at me and say "I love you"
How much more do you think I can stand
Oh, there's an old friend out there and she's waiting
Lord she's happy just holding my hand
… So tell me if you think it's over
And I'll leave it up to you how it ends
'Cause if you don't want the love I can give you
Well there's a honky tonk angel who will take me back in
Yes, there's a honky tonk angel who will take me back in

Does he love me? I want to know
How can I tell if he loves me so?
Oh, no! You'll be deceived
(Is it in his sighs?) Oh, no! He'll make believe
If you want to know if he loves you so, it's in his KISS (that's where it is)
(Oh, yeah? Or is it in his veins?) Oh, no! That's just his charms
(In his warm embrace?) Oh, no! That's just his arms
If you want to know if he loves you so, it's in his kiss (that's where it is)
Whoa-oh, it's in his kiss (that's where it is)
Whoa-oh-oh, hug him and squeeze him tight
Find out what you want to know
If it's love, if it really is
It's there in his kiss
Oh, no! That's not the way
And you're not listening to all I said
If you wanna know if he loves you so, it's in his kiss (that's where it is)
Whoa-oh-oh, it's in his kiss (that's where it is)

I'm a believer - The Monkees

I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Ah, love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams
Then I saw her FACE, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried
I thought love was more or less a given thing
Seems the more I gave, the less I got
What's the use in tryin'?
All you get is pain
When I needed sunshine, I got rain
Oh, then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried
Ah, love was out to get me
Now, that's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams
Ah, then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
Ah, I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried
Yes, I saw her face, now I'm a believer
No, not a trace of doubt in my mind

HOT dog, you say you're really coming back
Hot dog, I'm waiting at the railway track
Hot dog, you say you're coming home for good
Hot dog, I'm going to keep knocking on wood
And baby, I can hardly wait
I'm gonna meet you at the gate, hot dog

I fell in love with you and then you went away
But now you're coming home to stay
Hot dog, soon everything will be all right
Hot dog, we're gonna have a ball tonight
I've got a pocketful of dimes
It's gonna be just like old times, hot dog

You went away and every day was misery
But now you're coming back to me
Hot dog, my heart is gonna go insane
Hot dog, when you come walking off the train
Oh how lonely I have been
But when that Santa Fe pulls in

Everything I ever had
I let it slip away
Every dream I ever dreamed
Was crossed until today
For I have seen tomorrow
Where my future lies
I see it every time
When I look into
Your beautiful EYES
Oh, I'm holding on now
I'm holding on now
Love, don't let me go
Love, please let me know
Have you been waiting
Just the way that I've been waiting
Love, don't let me go
Love, please let me show
How much I want to
Be the one who loves you now
Maybe I was too afraid
To show my broken heart
Fading in the shadows
And my world just came apart
Looking at you now
I feel what I never felt before
But I'm finally ready
To risk it all once more
Love, don't let me go
Love, please let me know
Have you been waiting
Just the way that I've been waiting
Love, don't let me go
Love, please let me show
How much I want to
Be the one who loves you now
You can believe in taking chances
Oh...
Baby, take this one with me
Can't you see what I see
I'm holding on
Oh, love, don't let me go
Love, please let me know
Have you been waiting
Just the way that I've been waiting
Love, don't let me go
Love, please let me show
How much I want to
Be the one who loves you now
Please let me show
How much I want to
Be the one who loves you now
Mmh
Be the one who loves you now.

I wish it were me - Francoise Hardy

By the way she was smiling, with her EYES so beguiling
I could tell at a glance that I hadn't a chance
She is almost too lovely but I wish it were me
Then I know you'd only want to be looking my way
It's a strange fascination to be faced with temptation
Should you answer her call, are you going to fall ?
She is almost too lovely but I wish it were me
Then I know you'd only want to be falling for me
What would I do, were I in her place ?
When love is new, it's so hard to face
Is her love so much stronger that you want me no longer
Has she taken my place with her sweet angel face
She is almost too lovely, still I wish it were me
Then you might know how it feels when you're trying to hide
All of the pain that you made my heart suffer inside.

When they gave out eyes like diamonds
That would shame the stars that shine
My darling, my darling
You were the first in line
When they gave out LIPS like honey
That hold a new thrill every time
My darling, my darling
You were the first in line
There may be others that know you longer
Who pledge their hearts to you
But there's no other could love you stronger
Any stronger than I do
Don't refuse me, say you'll choose me
I am yours, oh, please be mine
My darling, say I'm your darling
The first, and the last in line
There may be others that know you longer
Who pledge their hearts to you
But there's no other could love you stronger
Any stronger than I do
Don't refuse me, say you'll choose me
I am yours, oh, please be mine
My darling, say I'm your darling
The first, and the last in line

I want to be your lover
But your friend is all I've stayed
I'm only halfway to paradise
So near, yet so far away

I long for your LIPS to kiss my lips
But just when I think they may
You lead me halfway to paradise
So near, yet so far away, mmm

Bein' close to you is almost heaven (heaven)
But seein' you can do just so much
It hurts me so to know your heart's a treasure (treasure)
And that my heart is forbidden to touch, so

Put your sweet lips close to my lips
And tell me that's where they're gonna stay
Don't lead me halfway to paradise
Mmm, so near, yet so far away

Oh, oh, oh so near, yet so far away
Mmm, so near, yet so far away

Little Richard sang it and Dick Clark brought it to life
Danny and the Juniors hit a groove, stuck as sharp as a knife

Well now, do you remember all the guys that gave us ROCK-and-roll?

Chuck Berry's got to be the greatest thing that came along
(Hum diddy waddy, hum diddy wadda)
He made the guitar beats and wrote the all-time greatest song
(Hum diddy waddy, hum diddy wadda)

Well now, do you remember all the guys that gave us rock-and-roll?

Elvis Presley is the king
He's the giant of the day
Paved the way for the rock-and-roll stars
Yeah, the critics kept a-knocking
But the stars kept a-rocking
And the chopping didn't get very far
Goodness gracious, great balls of fire
Nothing's really moving until the saxophone's ready to blow
(Do you remember, do you remember?)
And the beat's not jumping until the drummer says he's ready to go
(Do you remember, do you remember?)

Well now, do you remember all the guys that gave us rock-and-roll?
(Do you remember?)

Let's hear the high voice wail (oooooooooo)
And hear the voice down low (wah-ah ah-ah)
Let's hear the background
Um diddy wadda, um diddy wadda
Um diddy wadda, um diddy wadda
They gave us rock-and-roll

They gave us rock-and-roll

You feel bad, let me tell you, we all get the blues
Sometimes life is a burden, weighed down in your shoes
When it's bad, worse, worst
(And when you're feeling so bad)
And you think you're cursed
(And you've got it sad)
Well, if there's one thing for the better that can turn you loose

It's gotta be ROCK’n roll
To fill the hole in your soul
There's gotta be rock'n roll
To fill the hole in your soul

My friend Sam is a chauffeur, Annie goes to school
Jerry works at the office, Sue lies by the pool
But on all weekends

When I meet my friends

And we're lookin' round for the action we sure play it cool

It's gotta be rock'n roll
To fill the hole in your soul
There's gotta be rock'n roll
To fill the hole in your soul
Ah-haa (ah-haa, ah-haa)
You paint your world and use all colours
Ah-haa (ah-haa)
And then you find it all comes out too bright
You know it's only a lie
Ah-haa (ah-haa, ah-haa)
The songs you sing are too romantic
Ah-haa (ah-haa)
And when you want the truth
They only spit in your eye
Oh yeah, they're only telling you lies
Oh yeah, there's gotta be rock'n roll
To fill the hole in your soul

After long enough of being alone
Everyone must face their share of loneliness
In my own time, nobody knew
The pain I was goin' through
And waitin' was all my heart could do
Hope was all I had until you came
Maybe you can't see how much you mean to me
You were the dawn breaking the night
The promise of mornin' light
Filling the world surroundin' me
When I hold you
BABY, BABY, feels like maybe
Things will be all right
Baby, baby, your love's made me
Free as a song, singin' forever
Only yesterday when I was sad and I was lonely
You showed me the way to leave the past and all its tears behind me
Tomorrow maybe even brighter than today
Since I threw my sadness away
Only yesterday
I have found my home here in your arms
Nowhere else on earth I'd really rather be
Life waits for us, share it with me
The best is about to be
And so much is left for us to see
When I hold you
Baby, baby, feels like maybe
Things will be all right
Baby, baby, your love's made me
Free as a song, singin' forever
Only yesterday when I was sad and I was lonely
You showed me the way to leave the past and all its tears behind me
Tomorrow maybe even brighter than today
Since I threw my sadness away
Only yesterday (only yesterday, only yesterday)
Only yesterday when I was sad and I was lonely
You showed me the way to leave the past and all its tears behind me

The Race is on - Suzi Quatro

Go ahead and laugh at me
Try to be the man you want to be.
Baby it's not hard to see what's going on.
Well maybe we should celebrate
Drink champagne.
Why should we wait.
Why don't we ask some friends around.
They can help us play this game we've found.
Hey let's bring everybody down.
Will we ever be ready for what we're heading for.
Here we stand like a couple of fools.
And the race is on.
HAND in hand as we break the rules.
And the race is on.
What's the cost to the one who's lost.
When the race goes wrong.
You may say why begin when we both can't win.
But the race goes on.
Hand in hand like a couple of fools
And the race is on.
Well surprise surprise a few more lies.
Or do we simply call them alibis.
This life we lead ain't fooling either one of us:
Oh and while we're having so much fun let's not forget
The lonely ones.
Slowly falling out of love.
This game we play can be so rough
Now maybe we've gone far enough.
But are you sure you know what we're heading for.
Here we stand...

Living together, growing together - From the film ‘Lost Horizon’

A terrible 1973 film but some of the songs still haunt me.

only registered users can see external links


Start with a man and you have one.
Add on a woman and then you have two.

Add on a child and what have you got?
You've got more than three.
You've got what they call a family.

Living TOGETHER, Growing Together, just being together,
That's how it starts.
Three loving hearts all
Pulling together, working together, just building together,
That makes you strong.
If things go wrong we'll still get along somehow,
Living and growing together.

It just takes wood to build a house.
Fill it with people and you have a home.
Fill it with love and people take root.
It's just like a tree
Where each branch becomes a family that's
Living Together, Growing Together, just being together,
That's how it starts.
Three loving hearts all
Pulling together, working together, just building together,
That makes you strong.
If things go wrong we'll

Still get along somehow,

Living and growing together.

Living Together, Growing Together, just being together,
That's how it starts.
Three loving hearts all
Pulling together, working together, just building together,
That makes you strong.
If things go wrong we'll still get along somehow,
Living and growing
Just like we're doing now, together.

Let me say
Since, since we've been TOGETHER
Uh, loving you forever is all I need
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue

Oh, baby, let's, let's stay together
Loving you whether
Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad

I, I'm so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
It's alright with me
'Cause you make me feel so brand new
I want to spend my whole life with you
Let me say
Since, since we've been together
Uh, loving you forever is all I need
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue

Oh, baby, let's, let's stay together
Loving you whether
Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad

(Good or bad, happy or sad)

Why, oh, tell me, why do people break up
And turn around and make up?
I just came to see
You'd never do that to me, would you, baby?
Being around you is all I see

So, baby, let's we all stay together
Loving you whether
Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad
Let's (let's stay together) stay together
Loving you whether
Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad

(Let's stay together) stay together
Loving you whether
Whether (times are good or bad, happy or sad)
Oh, baby, let's
Let's
Loving you whether

Crying in the chapel - Elvis


only registered users can see external links


You saw me crying in the chapel
The tears I shed were tears of joy
I know the meaning of contentment
Now I am happy with the Lord
Just a plain and simple chapel
Where humble people go to pray
I pray the Lord that I'll grow stronger
As I live from day to day
I've searched and I've searched
But I couldn't find
No way on earth
To gain peace of mind
Now I'm happy in the chapel
Where people are of one accord
(One accord)
Yes, we gather in the chapel
Just to sing and praise the Lord
You'll SEARCH and you'll search
But you'll never find
No way on earth
To gain peace of mind
Take your troubles to the chapel
Get down on your knees and pray
(Knees and pray)
Then your burdens will be lighter
And you'll surely find the way
(And you'll surely find the way)

My first thought. Well played.


It’ll be me - Cliff Richard

If you hear somebody knocking on your door
If you see somebody crawlin' across the floor
Baby it'll be me
Yeah, I'll be lookin' for you
Well if you see somebody climbin' up a telegraph pole
If you find a new lump in your sugar bowl
Baby it'll be me
Yeah I'll be lookin' for you
I'm gonna SEARCH in the mountain
Down in the deep blue sea
I'm gonna search the countryside
And look and look in every tree
If you find a new bait on your fishing hook
If you find a funny face in your comic book
Baby it'll be me
Yeah, I'll be lookin' for you
Ah, keep on lookin' there now
I'm gonna look in the city
Where the lights are blue
I'm gonna search in the forests
And the haystacks too
If you something shooting out across the stars
If you see a rocket ship on it's way to Mars
Baby it'll be me
Yeah, I'll be lookin' for you
Yeah, I'll be lookin' for you
Oh, I'll be lookin' for you

Oh wow !!!! How did I forget that ?

Call my name - Charlotte Church

I like the SOUND of your belt dropping
Your door locking, you jangle your keys, yeah
I like the sound of your heart stopping
Of lip locking, the grazing of knees, yeah
I like the sound of skin touching
Hands fumbling, you do as you please
I like the sound of back on the wall, yeah
Shelves falling, oh yes indeed!

And I love it when you call my name
I love it when you call my name
Both ends of the candle burnt by the flame
Yeah I love it when you call my name, n-n-name

I like the sound of your shirt ripping
My will slipping under the table
I like the sound of your hand slapping
Your whip cracking, this could be painful
I may like the rain, I may like the symphony
I may like the feel of your frame on my frame

But I love it when you call my name
I love it when you call my name
Both ends of the candle burnt by the flame
Yeah I love it when you call my name, n-n-name

I may like the rain, I may like the symphony
I may like the feel of your frame on my frame
I may like your touch, I may like you next to me
I may like the sound of your name on my lips
I may like your touch, I may like your remedy
I may like the feel of your hand on my hips
I may like your talk, like you breathing heavily
I like a lot of things baby, you know me

Distant Drums - Jim Reeves

I hear the SOUND of distant drums
Far away, far away
And if they call for me to come
Then I must go and you must stay
So Mary, marry me, let's not wait
Let's share all the time we can before it's too late
Love me now, for now is all the time there may be
If you love me, Mary, Mary, marry me
I hear the sound of bugles blow
Far away, far away
And if they call, then I must go
Across the sea, so wild and grey
So Mary, marry me, let's not wait
For the distant drums might change our wedding date
And love me now, for now is all the time there may be
If you love me, Mary, Mary, marry me

Word of the day for Sunday 22nd June - ALONE

On the radio - Donna Summer


only registered users can see external links


Someone found a letter you wrote me on the radio
And they told the world just how you felt
It must have fallen out of a hole in your old brown overcoat
They never said your name, but I knew just who they meant
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
I was so surprised and shocked, and I wondered, too
If, by chance, you heard it for yourself
I never told a soul just how I've been feeling over you
But they said it really loud, they said it on the air
On the radio, whoa-oh-oh-oh
On the radio, whoa-oh-oh-oh
On the radio, whoa-oh-oh-oh
On the radio, whoa-oh-oh-oh
Now, now, don't it kinda strike you sad when you hear our SONG?
Things are not the same since we broke up last June
The only thing that I wanna hear is that you love me still
And that you think you'll be comin' home real soon
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Yeah, it kinda made me feel proud when I heard him say
You couldn't find the words to say it yourself
And now in my heart, I know I can say what I really feel
'Cause they said it really loud, they said it on the air
On the radio, whoa-oh-oh-oh
On the radio, whoa-oh-oh-oh
On the radio, whoa-oh-oh-oh
On the radio, whoa-oh-oh-oh
On the radio
If you think that love isn't found on the radio
Then tune right in, you may find the love you lost
'Cause now I'm sitting here with the man I sent away long ago
It sounded really loud, he said it really loud
On the radio, whoa-oh-oh-oh
On the radio, whoa-oh-oh-oh
On the radio, whoa-oh-oh-oh
On the radio, whoa-oh-oh-oh
On the radio

I love you from the bottom, of my pencil case
I love you in the songs, I write and sing
Love you because, you put me in my rightful place
And I love the PRS cheques, that you bring
Cheap, never cheap
I'll sing you SONGS till you're asleep
When you've gone upstairs I'll creep
And write it all down, down, down, down
Oh Shirley, oh Deborah, oh Julie, oh Jane
I wrote so many songs about you
I forget your name, I forget your name
Jennifer, Alison, Phillipa, Sue, Deborah, Annabel, too
I forget your name
Jennifer, Alison, Phillipa, Sue, Deborah, Annabel, too
I forget your name
I love your from the bottom of my pencil case
I love the way you never ask me why
I love to write about each wrinkle on your face
And I love you 'till my fountain pen runs dry
Deep so deep, the number one I hope to reap
Depends upon the tears you weep, so cry, lovey cry, cry, cry, cry
Oh Cathy, oh Alison, oh Phillipa, oh Sue
You made me so much money, I wrote this song for you
I wrote this song for you
Jennifer, Alison, Phillipa, Sue, Deborah, Annabel, too

Word of the day for Saturday June 21st - SONG

All I meant was that you chose ‘almost’ as word of the day and I posted the lowest of low hanging fruit in a song entitled ‘Almost’ , so I was not in a position to judge anyone’s selections. Nothing else.

Loving you - Francoise Hardy

or of course the original from Elvis

[Verse 1]
I will spend my whole life through
Loving you, loving you
Winter, summer, springtime too
Loving you, loving you
Makes no difference where I go
Or what I do
You know that I'll ALWAYS be
Loving you, just you

[Verse 2]
If I'm seen with someone new
Don't be blue, don't be blue
I'll be faithful, I'll be true
Always true, true to you
There is only one for me
And you know who
You know that I'll always be
Loving you

Lucky Lips - Cliff Richard


only registered users can see external links


When I was just a little baby I didn't have many toys,
But my mama used to say, son, you've got more than other boys.
Now you may not be good looking,
And you may not be too rich.
But you'll never ever be alone,
Cause you've got lucky lips.

Lucky lips are always kissing
Lucky lips are never blue.
Lucky lips will always find a pair of lips so true.
Don't need a four-leaf clover,
Rabbit's foot or a good look charm.
With lucky lips you'll ALWAYS have,
A baby in your arms.

Now I never get heartbroken,
No, I never get the blues.
And if I play that game of love I know I just can't lose.
When they spin that wheel of fortune,
All I do is kiss my chips,
And I know I'm 'bout to win, Yeah!
Cause I've got lucky lips.

Lucky lips are always kissing,
Lucky lips are never blue.
Lucky lips will always find a pair of lips so true.
Don't need a four-leaf clover,
Rabbit's foot or a good look charm.
With lucky lips you'll always have,
A baby in your arms.

Oh, lucky lips are always kissing,
Lucky lips are never blue.
Lucky lips will always find a pair of lips so true.
Don't need a four-leaf clover,
Rabbit's foot or a good look charm.
With lucky lips you'll always have,
A baby in your arms.

Oh I dare not judge you after posting 'Almost' as my first song yesterday.

Word of the day for Friday 20th June - ALWAYS

I wish it were me - Francoise Hardy


only registered users can see external links


By the way she was smiling, with her eyes so beguiling
I could tell at a glance that I hadn't a chance

She is ALMOST too lovely but I wish it were me
Then I know you'd only want to be looking my way

It's a strange fascination to be faced with temptation
Should you answer her call, are you going to fall?

She is almost too lovely but I wish it were me
Then I know you'd only want to be falling for me

What would I do, were I in her place?
When love is new, it's so hard to face

Is her love so much stronger that you want me no longer
Has she taken my place with her sweet angel face

She is almost too lovely, still I wish it were me
Then you might know how it feels when you're trying to hide
All of the pain that you made my heart suffer inside

I should put this right
