Please come to Boston - Joan Baez

Please come to BOSTON in the springtime
I'm stayin' here with some friends, and they've got lots of room
You can sell your paintings on the sidewalk
By a cafe where I hope to be workin' soon
Please come to Boston
I said, 'No, would you come home to me?'
And I said, 'Hey, ramblin' boy, now won't cha settle down?
Boston ain't your kinda town
There ain't no gold, and there ain't nobody like me
I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee'
Please come to Denver with the snowfall
We'll move up into the mountains so far that we can't be found
And throw 'I love you' echoes down the canyon
And then lie awake at night till they come back around
Please come to Denver
I said, 'No, boy, would you come home to me?'
And I said, 'Hey ramblin' boy why don't cha settle down?
Denver ain't your kinda town
There ain't no gold and there ain't nobody like me
'Cause I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee'
Now this drifter's world goes 'round and 'round
And I doubt that it's ever gonna stop
But of all the dreams I've lost or found
And all that I ain't got
I still need to cling to
Somebody I can sing to
Please come to LA to live forever
California life alone is just too hard to build
I live in a house that looks out over the ocean
And there's some stars that fell from the sky
Livin' up on the hill
Please come to LA
But I just said, 'No, boy, won't you come home to me?'
And I said, 'Hey, ramblin' boy, why don't cha settle down?
LA can't be your kinda town
There ain't no gold, and there ain't nobody like me
No, no, I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee'
'I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee'

Promised land - Chuck Berry


only registered users can see external links


[Verse 1]
I left my home in NORFOLK, Virginia
California on my mind
I straddled that Greyhound and rode him into Raleigh
And on across Caroline
We stopped in Charlotte but bypassed Rock Hill
We never was a minute late
We was ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown
Rolling outta the Georgia state
We had motor trouble, it turned into a struggle
Halfway across Alabam'
And that 'hound broke down and left us all stranded
In downtown Birmingham

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Right away, I bought me a through train ticket
Riding across Mississippi clean
And I was on that midnight flier out of Birmingham
Smoking into New Orleans
Somebody help me get out of Louisiana
Just help me get to Houston town
There are people there who care a little about me
And they won't let the poor boy down
Sure as you're born, they bought me a silk suit
Put luggage in my hand
And I woke up high over Albuquerque
On a jet to the promised land


[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Working on a T-bone steak а la carte
And flying over to the Golden State
When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes
He would set us at the terminal gate
Swing low chariot, come down easy
Taxi to the terminal zone
Cut your engines and cool your wings
And let me make it to the telephone
Los Angeles, give me Norfolk, Virginia
Tidewater four ten o nine
Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling
And the poor boy's on the line

I just don’t know what to do with myself - Dusty Springfield


only registered users can see external links


I just don't know what to do with MYSELF
Don't know just what to do with myself
I'm so used to doing everything with you
Planning everything for two
And now that we're through
I just don't know what to do with my time
I'm so lonesome for you, it's a crime
Going to a movie only makes me sad
Parties make me feel as bad
When I'm not with you
I just don't know what to do
Like a summer rose
Needs the sun and rain
I need your sweet love
To beat all the pain
I just don't know what to do with myself
I just don't know what to do with myself
Baby, if your new love ever turns you down
Come back, I will be around
Just waiting for you
I don't know what else to do
Like a summer rose
It needs the sun and rain
I need your sweet love
To beat all the pain
I don't know just what to do with myself
I don't know just what to do with myself
Baby, if your new love ever turns you down
Come on back, I will be around
Just waiting for you
I don't know what else to do, no, no, no
I don't know what else to do
I'm still so crazy for you, no, no, no, no
I don't know what else to do, no, no, no
I'm still so crazy for you

No matter how I try - Gilbert O’Sullivan

No matter how I try
I just can't say goodbye
No matter whay you say
looks like I'm here to stay
No matter where I go
I don't know if you know
but everywhere we been
I'm kept in quarantine
It's easy to see why
She's over six feet five
I'm only five foot two
Is there a tyre somewhere
That MIGHT take me a spare
Is there a bank in town
That might cash me a pound
Is there a place you know
Where I can open the door
It's easy to see why
She's over six feet five
I'm only five foot two
Is there a tyre somewhere
That might take me a spare
Is there a bank in town
That might cash me a pound
Is there a place you know
Where I can open the door
Oh I remember our first anniverary
It was one of those occasions where believe you me
I would rather been held ransom at the point of a gun
Then to suffer indignation for something I hadn't done
No matter how I try
I just can't say goodbye
No matter whay you say
looks like I'm here to stay

Elusive butterfly - Bob Lind


only registered users can see external links


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

True love ways - Buddy Holly

Just you know why
Why you and I
Will bye and bye
Know true love ways

Sometimes we'll SIGH
Sometimes we'll cry
And we'll know why just you and I know true love ways

Throughout the days our true love ways
Will bring us joys to share with those who really care

Sometimes we'll sigh
Sometimes we'll cry
And we'll know why just you and I know true love ways

Throughout the days our true love ways
Will bring us joys to share with those who really care

Sometimes we'll sigh
Sometimes we'll cry
And we'll know why just you and I know true love ways

My love - Petula Clark

My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine
Softer than a SIGH
My love is deeper than the deepest ocean
Wider than the sky
My love is brighter than the brightest star
That shines every night above
There is nothing in this world
That could ever change my love
Ah, something happened to my heart
The day that I met you
Something that I never felt before
You are always on my mind
No matter what I do
And every day it seems I want you more
My love is warmer than the warmеst sunshine
Softer than a sigh
My lovе is deeper than the deepest ocean
Wider than the sky
My love is brighter than the brightest star
That shines every night above
There is nothing in this world
That could ever change my love
Once I thought that love was meant
For anyone else but me
Once I thought you'd never come my way
Well, now it only goes to show
How wrong we all can be
For now I have to tell you every day
My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine
Softer than a sigh
My love is deeper than the deepest ocean
Wider than the sky
My love is brighter than the brightest star
That shines every night above
There is nothing in this world
That could ever change my love
My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine
Softer than a sigh
My love is deeper than the deepest ocean
Wider than the sky
My love is brighter than the brightest star
That shines every night above
There is nothing in this world
That could ever change my love

Poetry in motion - Johnny Tillotson

When I see my baby, what do I see
Poetry, poetry in motion

Poetry in motion, walkin' by my side
Her lovely locomotion keeps my eyes open wide
Poetry in motion, see her gentle sway
A WAVE out on the ocean could never move that way

I love every movement
There's nothing I would change
She doesn't need improvement
She's much too nice to rearrange

Poetry in motion, dancing close to me
A flower of devotion a-swaying gracefully

Oh, a-whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
A-whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
A-whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa

Poetry in motion, see her gentle sway
A wave out on the ocean could never move that way

I love every movement
There's nothing I would change
She doesn't need improvement
She's much too nice to rearrange

Poetry in motion, all that I adore
No number nine love potion could make me love her more

Oh, a-whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
A-whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
A-whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
A-whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Best that you can do - Christopher Cross

Once in your life you find her
Someone that turns your heart around
And next thing you know you're closing down the town
Wake up and it's still with you
Even though you left her way 'cross town
Wondering to yourself, "Hey! What've I found?"

When you get caught BETWEEN the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do
The best that you can do
Is fall in love

Arthur, he does as he pleases
All of his life, his master's toys
Deep in his heart, he's just, he's just a boy
Living his life one day at a time
And showing himself a pretty good time
Laughing about the way they want him to be

When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do (The best that you can do)
The best that you can do
Is fall in love

When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do (The best that you can do)
The best that you can do
Is fall in love

When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do (The best that you can do)
The best that you can do
Is fall in love

When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true

Torn between two lovers - Mary MacGregor


only registered users can see external links


There are times when a woman has to say what's on her mind
Even though she knows how much it's gonna hurt
Before I say another word, let me tell you "I love you"
Let me hold you close, and say these words as gently as I can
"There's been another man that I've needed, and I've loved
But that doesn't mean I love you less
And he knows he can't possess me, and he knows he never will
There's just this empty place inside of me that only he can fill"
Torn BETWEEN two lovers, feeling like a fool
Loving both of you is breaking all the rules
Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool
Loving you both is breaking all the rules
You mustn't think you failed me just because there's someone else
You were the first real love I ever had
And all the things I ever said, I swear they still are true
For no one else can have the part of me I gave to you
Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool
Loving both of you is breaking all the rules
Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool
Loving you both is breaking all the rules
I couldn't really blame you if you turned and walked away
But with everything I feel inside, I'm asking you to stay
Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool
Loving both of you is breaking all the rules
Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool
Loving you both is breaking all the rules
Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool
Loving both of you is breaking all the rules
Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool-

Catch a wave - The Beach Boys

Catch a WAVE and you're sitting on top of the world
Don't be afraid to try the greatest sport around (catch a wave, catch a wave)
Everybody tries it once
Those who don't just have to put it down
You paddle out, turn around and raise
And, baby, that's all there is to the coastline craze
You gotta catch a wave and you're sittin' on top of the world
Not just a fad 'cause it's been going on so long (catch a wave, catch a wave)
All the surfers going strong
They said it wouldn't last too long
They'll eat their words with a fork and spoon, and watch 'em
They'll hit the road and all be surfin' soon
And when they catch a wave they'll be sittin' on top of the world
Catch a wave and your sittin' on top of the world
So take a lesson from a top-notch surfer boy (catch a wave, catch a wave)
(Get yourself a big board)
But don't treat it like a toy
Just get away from the shady turf
And, baby, go catch some rays on the sunny surf
And when you catch a wave you'll be sittin' on top of the world
Catch a wave, you'll be sittin' on top of the world

Stop, stop, stop - The Hollies

See the girl with cymbals on her fingers
Entering through the door
RUBY glistening from her navel
Shimmering around the floor

Bells on feet go ting-a ling-a linging
Going through my head
Sweat is falling just-a like-a tear drops
Running from her head

Now she's dancing, going through the movements
Swaying to and fro
Body moving, bringing back a memory
Thoughts of long ago

Blood is rushing, temperature is rising
Sweating from my brow
Like a snake, her body fascinates me
I can't look away now

Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Give me time to breathe
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Or I'll have to leave

Now she's moving all around the tables
Luring all in sight
But I know that she cannot see me
Hidden by the light

Closer, closer, she is getting nearer
Soon she'll be in reach
As I enter into a spotlight
She stands lost for speech

Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Give me time to breathe
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Or I'll have to leave

[Break]

Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Give me time to breathe
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Or I'll have to leave

Now I hold her, people are staring
Don't know what to think
And we struggle knocking over tables
Spilling all the drinks

Can't they understand that I want her
Happens every week
Heavy hand upon my collar
Throws me in the street

Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Give me time to breathe
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Or I'll have to leave

First in line - Elvis

When they gave out eyes like DIAMONDS
That would shame the stars that shine
My darlin', my darlin'
You were the first in line
When they gave out lips like honey
That hold a new thrill every time
My darlin', my darlin'
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 darlin', say I'm your darlin'
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 darlin', say I'm your darlin'
The first and the last in line

A combination. Brilliant, well played.

Great choice and not an obvious gem. Well played.

All you get from love is a love song -Carpenters


only registered users can see external links


Like sailin' on a sailin' ship to nowhere
Love took over my heart like an ocean breeze
As seagulls fly I knew that I was losin'
Love was washed away with the driftin' tide

Oh it's a dirty old shame
When all you get from love is a love song
That's got you layin' up nights just waitin'
for the music to start
It's such a dirty old shame when you got to
take the BLAME for a love song
Because the best love songs are written

with a broken heart

And now the tears in my eyes are ever blinding
The future that lies before me I cannot see
Although tomorrow I know the sun is rising
Lighting up the world for everyone, but not for me

Ain't that a shame?
my tears fell like rain.
Ain't that a shame?
you're the one to blame

Oh well, goodbye
although I'll cry.

Ain't that a shame...

Where do you go to my lovely - Peter Sarstedt


only registered users can see external links


You talk like Marlene Dietrich
And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire
And your clothes are all made by Balmain
And there′s diamonds and pearls in your hair, yes there are
And you live in a fancy apartment
Off the Boulevard St. Michel
Oh, where you keep your Rolling Stones records
And a friend of Sacha Distel, oh yes you do
And you go to the embassy parties
Where you talk in Russian and Greek
And the young men who move in your circles
Oh, they hang on every word you speak, yes they do
chorus

But where do you go to, my lovely?
Oh, when you're alone in your BED
Oh, won′t you tell me the thoughts that surround you?
I want to look inside your head, yes I do
verse

Oh, I've seen all your qualifications
And you got from the Sorbonne
And the painting you stole from Picasso
Your loveliness goes on and on, yes it does
And when you go on your summer vacation
You go to Juan-les-Pins
Oh, with your carefully designed topless swimsuit
You get an even suntan on your back, and on your legs
And when the snow falls you're found in St. Moritz
With the others of the jet set
And you sip your Napoleon brandy
And you never get your lips wet, oh no you don′t
chorus

But where do you go to, my lovely?
Oh, when you′re alone in your bed
Oh, won't you tell me the thoughts that surround you?
I want to look inside your head, yes I do
verse

Oh, when you′re in between twenty and thirty
And that's a very desirable age
Oh, but your body is firm and inviting
But you live on a glittering stage, do, yes you do
And your name is heard in high places
Oh, you know the Aga Khan
Oh, we sent you a race horse for Christmas
And you keep it just for fun, for a laugh, ha-ha-ha
And they say that when you get married
It′ll be to a millionaire
Oh, but they don't realize where you came from
And I wonder if they really care, or give a damn
chorus

Oh, but where do you go to, my lovely?
When you′re alone in your bed
Oh, won't you tell me the thoughts that surround you?
I want to look inside your head, yes I do
bridge

I remember the backstreets of Naples
Two children begging in rags
Both touched with a burning ambition
To shake off their lowly-born tags, they tried
So look into my face, Marie-Claire
And remember just who you are
Oh, then go and forget me forever
But I know you still bear the scar, deep inside
chorus

Oh, I know where you go to my lovely
Oh, when you're alone in your bed
I know the thoughts that surround you
Because I can look inside your head

I want to show you the picture I drew
When I was on the phone talking to you
I made a heart and I colored it red
'Cause I want you here on my side of the BED
Ooh, ooh

[Verse 2]
I've been dreaming since I was born
And in my dreams I see eyes like yours
I'll be the pillow where you lay your head
Lay your head
If you'll come and sleep on my side of the bed

Lay down
The sheets are white like the moon, my love
Dream with me in my room
Lay down

Lay down
The sheets are white like the moon, my love
Dream with me in my room

Take my hand and come out of the rain
We all need to be comforted
You can get yours on my side of the bed
On my side of the bed

Lay down on my side of the bed
Come lay down

I don't know how to love him
What to do, how to move him
I've been changed, yes really changed
In these past few days when I've seen myself
I seem like someone else

I don't know how to take this
I don't see why he moves me
He's a man, he's just a man
And I've had so many men before
In very many ways
He's just one more

Should I bring him down?
Should I scream and shout?
Should I speak of love
Let my feelings out?
I never thought I'd come to this
What's it all about

Don't you think it's rather funny
I should be in this position
I'm the one who's always been
So calm, so cool, no lover's fool
Running every show
He SCARES me so

Should I bring him down?
Should I scream and shout?
Should I speak of love
Let my feelings out?
I never thought I'd come to this
What's it all about

Yes, if he said he loved me
I'd be lost, I'd be frightened
I couldn't cope, just couldn't cope
I'd turn my head, I'd back away
I wouldn't want to know
He scares me so
I want him so
I love him so

When this girl wants to rock with you

Let me keep freaking around (Freaking around)
Red-blooded woman
It's too hot inside
You'll never get to heaven if you're scared of getting high

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la (Freaking around)
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la (Freaking around)
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la (Freaking around)
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la (Freaking around)
(Oh, this girl wants to rock with you, oh)

Boy, boy, let me keep freaking around
I wanna get down
I'm a red-blooded woman
What's the point of hanging around?
Boy, boy, don't wanna keep turning it down
When this girl wants to rock with you
(Boy, I wanna get down)
Boy, boy, let me keep freaking around
I wanna get down
I'm a red-blooded woman
What's the point of hanging 'round?
Boy, boy, don't wanna keep turning it down
When this girl wants to rock with you

Wanna rock with you

I read the book you read
Tasted the words you said
Our story is darkening with time
One fading afternoon
The leaves dried in your car
No picture understood
But I had a feeling I would cry
You hid it all from me
Ooh, I'll miss you forever
Let's hope we've always summer
Yeah, bring on the night, I don't care (bring on the night, I don't care)
Turn on the dark, I'm not SCARED (turn on the dark, I'm not scared)
Spirit money to a flame
Ask that I'll see you again (that I'll see you again)
Yeah, bring on the night, I don't care (bring on the night, I don't care)
Turn on the dark, I'm not scared (turn on the dark, I'm not scared
Wherever it is you left me behind
I'll follow you down the path of my broken heart
Flowers on Edith Grove, wilt like a love note
Every day I'm passing by
I say a little prayer
Ooh, I'll miss you forever
Let's hope we've always summer
Yeah, bring on the night, I don't care (bring on the night, I don't care)
Turn on the dark, I'm not scared (turn on the dark, I'm not scared)
Spirit money to a flame
Ask that I'll see you again (that I'll see you again)
Yeah, bring on the night, I don't care (bring on the night, I don't care)
Turn on the dark, I'm not scared (turn on the dark, I'm not scared
Wherever it is you left me behind
I'll follow you down the path of my broken heart
Ooh, I'll miss you forever
Let's hope we've always summer
Yeah, bring on the night, I don't care (bring on the night, I don't care)
Turn on the dark, I'm not scared (turn on the dark, I'm not scared)
Spirit money to a flame
Ask that I'll see you again (that I'll see you again)
Yeah, bring on the night, I don't care (bring on the night, I don't care)
Turn on the dark, I'm not scared (turn on the dark, I'm not scared
Wherever it is you left me behind
I'll follow you down the path of my broken heart

You’ve lost that Lovin’ feeling - Elvis

Okay okay here is the Righteous Brothers version

only registered users can see external links


You never close your eyes
Anymore when I kiss your lips
There's no tenderness
Like before in your fingertips

You're trying hard not to show it
Baby, baby, I know it

You've lost that lovin' feelin'
Whoa, that lovin' feelin'
You've lost that loving feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone, whoa-oh-oh
Yeah

There's no tenderness in your eyes
When I reach out for you
Girl, you're starting to criticize
Every little thing that I do

It makes me just feel like cryin'
'Cause, baby, something beautiful's dyin'

You've lost that lovin' feelin'
Whoa, that lovin' feelin'
You've lost that lovin' feelin'
Now it's gone, gone, gone, whoa-oh-oh

Baby, baby, I get down on my knees for you
If this suit weren't too tight!
If you would only love me like you used to do
We had a love, love, a love you don't find every day
Oh, don't, don't, don't, don't take it away
Listen to me, talking to you

Bring back that lovin' feelin'
Whoa, that lovin' feelin'
BRING back that lovin' feelin'
Now it's gone, gone, gone
And I can't go on, whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh

You don’t bring me flowers - Barbra Streisand


only registered users can see external links


You don't BRING me flowers
You don't sing me love songs
You hardly talk to me anymore
When you come through the door
At the end of the day

I remember when
You couldn't wait to love me
Used to hate to leave me
Now after loving me late at night
When it's good for you, babe
And you're feeling alright
Well, you just roll over
And you turn out the light
And you don't bring me flowers anymore

It used to be so natural (Used to be)
To talk about forever (Mm)
But 'used to bes' don't count anymore
They just lay on the floor
'Til we sweep them away
And baby, I remember
All the things you taught me
I learned how to laugh
And I learned how to cry
Well, I learned how to love
And learned how to lie

So you'd think I could learn
How to tell you goodbye
(So you'd think I could learn
How to tell you goodbye)
You don't bring me flowers anymore

Well, you'd think I could learn
How to tell you goodbye
And you don't sing me
And you don't sing me love songs
You don't bring me flowers anymore

Wasn’t born to follow - The Byrds


only registered users can see external links


Oh, I'd rather go and journey
Where the diamond crescent's glowing
And run across the valley
Beneath the sacred mountain

And wander through the forest
Where the trees have leaves of prisms
And break the light in colors
That no one knows the names of

And when it's time I'll go and wait
Beside a legendary fountain
'Til I see your form reflected
In its clear and jeweled waters

And if you think I'm ready
You may lead me to the chasm
Where the rivers of our vision
Flow into one another

I will want to dive beneath
The white cascading waters
She may beg, she may plead
She may argue with her logic

And mention all the things I'll lose
That really have no value
In the end she will surely know
I wasn't born to FOLLOW

Try to remember - Andy Williams

Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh, so mellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and grain was yellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When you were a tender and callow fellow
Try to remember and if you remember
Then FOLLOW, follow
Try to remember the kind of September
When no one wept except the willow
Try to remember the kind of September
When dreams were kept beside your pillow
Try to remember the kind of September
When love was an ember about to billow
Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow, follow
Deep in December, it's nice to remember
Although you yearn, the snow will follow
Deep in December, it's nice to remember
The fire of September that made us mellow
Deep in December, our hearts should remember
And follow, follow, follow

Lucy in the sky with diamonds - The Beatles


only registered users can see external links


PICTURE yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she's gone
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Ah
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore
Waiting to take you away
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds
And you're gone
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Ah
Picture yourself on a train in a station
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile
The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Ah
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Ah
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Heart of Rome - Elvis

In a little while you're leaving
Starting on the journey home
Soon I'll be alone, the one who loves you
La la la la la, somewhere in the heart of Rome
I'll make a wish in every fountain
Say a prayer that you'll return
Minutes I'll be counting
May the fire of love still burn
I'll keep your PICTURE by my pillow
And pretend I'm not alone
Make believe that you are with me
La la la la la, in the heart of Rome
Suddenly the tears are falling
As we hear the whistle blow
Hold me very close before you leave me
La la la la la, somewhere in the heart of Rome
I'll make a wish in every fountain
Say a prayer that you'll return
Minutes I'll be counting
May the fire of love still burn
I'll keep your picture by my pillow
And pretend I'm not alone
Make believe that you are with me
La la la la la, in the heart of Rome
I'll make a wish in every fountain
Say a prayer that you'll return
Minutes I'll be counting
May the fire of love still burn
I'll keep your picture by my pillow
And pretend I'm not alone
Make believe that you are with me
La la la la la, in the heart of Rome

We've tried our hand
At love before
We've been around the game enough
To know the score'
But then is then
And now is now
And now is all that matters anyhow
Make believe it's your first time
Leave your sadness behind
Make believe it's your FIRST time
And I'll make believe it's mine
The door is closed
It's you and me
We'll take our time with love
The way it oughta be
This moment's ours
Tonight's the night
And if we fall in love
Well, that's alright
Make believe it's your first time
Leave your sadness behind
Make believe it's your first time
And I'll make believe it's mine
So close your eyes
And hold me close
And let our hearts pretend
That love is ours to share tonight
And it might never end
Make believe it's your first time
Leave your sadness behind
Make believe it's your first time
And I'll make believe it's mine

Morning has broken - Cat Stevens


only registered users can see external links


Morning has broken like the FIRST morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the world
Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from Heaven
Like the first dewfall on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day
Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the world

The beat goes on - Sonny and Cher

[Chorus:]
The BEAT goes on, the beat goes on
Drums keep pounding
A rhythm to the brain
La de da de de, la de da de da

Charleston was once the rage, uh huh
History has turned the page, uh huh
The mini skirts the current thing, uh huh
Teenybopper is our newborn king, uh huh

[Chorus]

The grocery store's the super mart, uh huh
Little girls still break their hearts, uh huh
And men still keep on marching off to war
Electrically they keep a baseball score

[Chorus]

Grandmas sit in chairs and reminisce
Boys keep chasing girls to get a kiss
The cars keep going faster all the time
Bums still cry, "Hey buddy,
have you got a dime?"

[Chorus]

Word of the day for Saturday 8th August - BEAT

Ha Ha Said the clown - Manfred Mann


only registered users can see external links


Ha! Ha! said the clown, has the king lost his crown,
is the night being tight on romance.
Ha! Ha! said the clown, is it bringing you down
that you've LOST your chance.
Feeling low, gotta go, see a show in town.
Hear the jokes, have a smoke, and a laugh at the clown.
In a whirl, see a girl with a smile in her eyes.
Never thought I'd be brought right down by her lies.
In a trance, watch her dance to the beat of the drums.
Faster now, sweating brow, I'm all the fingers and thumbs.
Wonder why I hit the sky when she blows me a kiss.
In a while run a mile, I'm regretting all this.
Ha! Ha! said the clown, has the king lost his crown,
is the night being tight on romance.
Ha! Ha! said the clown, is it bringing you down
that you've lost your chance.
Time to go, close the show, wave the people good-bye.
Grab my coat, grab my hat, look that girl in the eye.
Where's your home, what's your phone number,
stop fooling round.
Could have died, she replied: "I'm the wife of the clown".
Ha! Ha! said the clown, has the king lost his crown,
is the night being tight on romance.
Ha! Ha! said the clown, is it bringing you down
that you've lost your chance.

Lost in France - Bonnie Tyler


only registered users can see external links


I was LOST in France
In the fields the birds were singing
I was lost in France
And the day was just beginning
As I stood there in the morning rain
I had a feeling I can't explain
I was lost in France in love
I was lost in France
In the street, a band was playing
And the crowd all danced
Didn't catch what they were saying
When I looked up, he was standing there
I knew I shouldn't, but I didn't care
I was lost in France in love
Ooh, la la la, ooh, la la la, dance
Ooh, la la la, dancing
Ooh, la la la, ooh, la la la, dance
Ooh, la la la, dancing
Ooh, la la la, ooh, la la la, dance
Ooh, la la la, dancing
I was lost in France
And the vines were overflowing
I was lost in France
And a million stars were glowing
And I looked 'round for a telephone
To say, "Baby, I won't be home"
I was lost in France in love
Ooh, la la la, ooh, la la la, dance
Ooh, la la la, dancing
Ooh, la la la, ooh, la la la, dance
Ooh, la la la, dancing
Ooh, la la la, ooh, la la la, dance
Ooh, la la la, dancing
And I looked 'round for a telephone
To say, "Baby, I won't be home"
I was lost in France in love
Ooh, la la la, ooh, la la la, dance
Ooh, la la la, dancing
Ooh, la la la, ooh, la la la, dance
Ooh, la la la, dancing
Ooh, la la la, ooh, la la la dance
Ooh, la la la, dancing
Ooh, la la la, ooh, la la la, dance
Ooh, la la la, dancing
Ooh, la la la, ooh, la la la, dance
Ooh, la la la, dancing

Just like a woman - Bob Dylan


only registered users can see external links


Nobody feels any pain
Tonight as I stand inside the rain
Everybody knows that baby's got new clothes
But lately I see her ribbons and her bows
Have fallen from her curls
She takes just like a woman
Yes, she does, she makes love just like a woman
Yes, she does, and she ACHES just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl
Queen Mary, she's my friend
Yes, I believe I'll go see her again
Nobody has to guess that baby can't be blessed
'Til she finally sees that she's like all the rest
With her fog, her amphetamine, and her pearls
She takes just like a woman
Yes, she makes love just like a woman
Yes, she does, and she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl
It was raining from the first
And I was dying there of thirst
So I came in here
And your long-time curse hurts
But what's worse is this pain in here
I can't stay in here
Ain't it clear that I just can't fit
Yes, I believe that it's time for us to quit
But when we meet again, introduced as friends
Please don't let on that you knew me when
I was hungry and it was your world
Ah, you fake just like a woman
Yes, you do, you make love just like a woman
Yes, you do, then you ache just like a woman
But you break just like a little girl
