Last Post - Lindasbooks

She's A lady, whoa, whoa, whoa, she's a lady

And that's why the lady is a tramp

Hallelujah, I'm a bum.

And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah!

In the cold Kentucky rain...

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain,
telling me just what a fool I've been

You can't fight gravity on a planet that insists
That love is like falling, and falling is like this

Falling in love again, never wanted to
What am I to do? Can't help it

If I fall in love with you
do you promise to be true
and help me understand.

I keep on falling
In and out of love
With you

I can't help falling in love with you

Falling,
Oh I am falling,
but you keep calling
me back again

London calling upon the zombies of death
Quit holding out-and draw another breath

Shhh! It happens.

There's a kinda hush all over the world tonight.

We are the world
We are the children

I'd like to teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony

Teach your children well
Their father's hell
Did slowly go by

Daddy sang bass, Mama sang tenor

Your Daddy don't dance and your mama don't rock 'n roll.

Mama's in the graveyard, papa's in the pen

Hold your breath, walk, don't run through the graveyard

She walks these hills
In a long black veil.
She visits my grave
When the night-winds wail.

In the pines, in the pines
where the sun never shines
I shivered the whole night through.

You are the sunshine of my life

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

Sunshine on my shoulders
makes me Happy.

Mr. Bluebird on my shoulder,
It's the truth, it's factual.
Everything is satisfactual.

Here comes a bluebird through my window
Hey, diddle-um-a-day o day

Look through any window, yeah,
What do you see

A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

You can't hide your lyin' eyes

So blame it on your lying, cheating, cold deadbeating,
Two-timing, double dealing
Mean mistreating, loving heart

Yore cheatin' heart
Will tell on you

I've got to tell someone
tell them what I know you've done
I fear you, but spoken fears can come true

tell me do you really still care?

I'll tell you what I want,
What I really really want.

When the working day is done,
Oh girls, they wanna have fun
Oh girls just wanna have fun

Listen do want to know a secret
Do you promise not to tell?

My secret love's no secret any more.

If I were to say to you
Can you keep a secret?
Would you know just what to do
Or where to keep it?

secret lovers, that's what we are...

Once I had a secret love

It's a secret but no secret
It's a rule but no rule
Where you find the darkest avenue
There you'll find the brightest jewel

You know it's hard for me, my baby
And the darkest hour is just before dawn

Well, we have got to get out of here
In our darkest hour
I think the end is near I can feel it

If I ever get out of here
If we ever get out of here

He's here, he's there, he's everywhere-
So beware.

There's a kind of hush
All over the world tonight

Hush little baby don't say a word.

Words are very
Unnecessary
They can only do harm

I'm trying to say I love you but the words get in the way

Every time I try to tell you
The words just come out wrong.
So I'll have to say "I love you"
With a song.

ooh...merrymary...I really like that song.
*sorry for interuption...carry on...

Song sung blue, everybody knows one

everybody wants to rule the world

If I ruled the world
Imagine that
I'd free all my sons

Mona Lisas and mad hatters,
sons of bankers, sons of lawyers,
turn around and say, "good morning" to the night.

The only one who could ever reach me,
Was the son of a preacher man,

If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts could tell

Go tell it on the Mountain.
Over the hills and everywhere.

High upon Ben a Hayich
This day of days
Seawards I gaze
Watching Kishmul's galley sailing

Thank you for the days
Those endless days
Those sacred days you gave me

Wasted days and wasted nights,

So much time to make up everywhere you turn,
Time we have wasted on the way

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that Id like to do
Is to save every day
Till eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

and time goes by so slowly
and time can do so much
are you still mine?

#68 - Lindasbooks - I can hear the Righteous Brothers in my mind. In the long ago days of jukeboxes, I used to put my quarter in and push "unchained Melody" for all three plays!

Back to the game:

Time is on my side,
time is on my side, yes it is.

Does anybody really know what time it is?

It's the right time of the night for making love.

It's quarter to three.
No one in the place
Except you and me.

Two, two cigarettes in the dark

And now they are gone and I sit alone,
and watch one cigarette burn away

No phone, No pool, No pets
I ain't got no cigaretts.

Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, Banana phone!

With this ring I promise I'll always love you, always love you

^77: Jim53...that song-I love it.

If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it

All that's left is a band of gold

Laura and Tommy were lovers
He wanted to give her everything
Flowers, presents,
but most of all a wedding ring

you don't bring me flowers anymore

You used to bring me roses
perhaps you will again
but that was on the outside
and things were different then

Paper Roses, Paper Roses,
Oh how real those roses seemed to me.

Wrap up some red roses
For a blue lady.

She's a lady
Whoa whoa whoa

Lady Madonna, children at your feet
Wonder how you manage to make ends meet

Oh I wonder, wonder who
do be do woo who
Who wrote the book of love

I wonder as I wander out under the sky

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

I got da diamonds and da ice all hand set
I might cause a cold front if I take a deep breath

I can feel you breathe.

Sometimes all I need
is the air that I breathe
and to love you

I can feel you all around me
thickening the air I'm breathing

Tommy can you feel me?
Can I help to cheer you?

What cheer? Good Cheer! Be merry and glad this good New Year!

Let the good times roll...

Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

Mary walks down to the water's edge

When I find myself in times of trouble Mother Mary comes to me ...

*DeltaQueen...how fitting that song and you screenname! ;)

When Mr. Oogie Boogie says
There's trouble close at hand
You'd better pay attention now
'Cause I'm the Boogie Man

Stop on the red
Cross with the green
Don't you mess with
Mr. In-between

Now listen while I play my green tambourine

Listen. Ooo-ooo-ooo
Do you want to know a secret?
Ooo-ooo-ooo
Do you promise not to tell?

Oh promise me that someday you and I,
Will take our love together to some sky.

I'm flying high on something
Beautiful and aimless
It's got a name
But I prefer to call it nameless.

What's your name?
Who's your daddy?
Is he rich like me

You're a rich girl, and you've gone too far

Uptown girl
Shes been living in her uptown world

Hey,
Did you happen to see
The most beautiful girl in the world?
And if you did,
Was she crying, crying?

Girl, You'll be A Woman Soon

She's a lady. Whoa, whoa, whoa, she's a lady.

That's why the lady is a tramp

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a starway to heaven

Here we go, Climbing the stairway to heaven, oh baby here we go

Here we go again
Asking where i've been
You can't see
the tears I'm crying
are real

It could be ten, but then again,
I can't remember half an hour since a quarter to four.

(thinking that last lyric sounds a lot like my day today)

Sitting cross-legged on the floor
Twenty-five or six to four

Sittin' on the dock of the bay

Somehow I found myself
Down at the dockside
Thinking of the old days
Of Liverpool and Rotherhythe

The winter days they last forever
And the weekends went by so quick

Monday Monday, so good to me,
Monday Monday, it was all I hoped it would be
Oh Monday morning, Monday morning couldn't guarantee
That Monday evening you would still be here with me.

We all know the girls I'm talking about
She liked you Wednesday but now it's Friday and she has to wash her hair.

Those who came before me
Lived through their vocations
From the past until completion
They will turn away no more

So walk away and close the door
And let my life be as it was before

Walk out the door.
Just turn around now.
Your not welcome anymore.

Don't turn around
Cause you're gonna see my heart breaking
Don't turn around
I don't want you seeing me cry

There is someone walking behind you
Turn around, look at me

Turnaround bright eyes,
Every now and then I fall apart

I fall to pieces
Each time I see you again.

I'm in pieces, bits and pieces
since you left me and said goodbye

Take another little piece of my heart now, baby
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling

Un-break my heart
Say you'll love me again

Don't take your love away from me
Don't you leave my heart in misery
If you go then I'll be blue
'Cause breaking up is hard to do

Oh, we dance in misery
(And we dance on, and we dance on)
Swept off our feet by our misery, we're swept into the shadows

All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be swingin', swayin' and records playin'
And dancin' in the street

Now dip it low and let me see ya hips swing

shake shake shake, shake your booty....

It makes no difference if it's sweet or hot
Just give that rhythm everything you've got
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing
Doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah

I like your booty, but I'm not gay
Dump Trucks, Derrier, Two Scoops, Sweet Rolls, Little Debbies, Meat Seat, Jiggle Jam, Pudding Cups
I like your booty, but I'm not gay

Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man
My Lola, lo - la, Lola

Walk like a man,
Talk like a man,
Walk like a man my son
No woman's worth
crawling on the earth
Just walk like a man my son.

And if you take my hand, my son,
All will be well when the day is done.

Day is done.
Gone the sun,
From the lake,
From the hills,
From the sky.
All is well.
Safely rest.
God is nigh.

(Taps)

Not many people know that "Taps" has words to it. Well done.

*blush* thanks.

I’m going where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don’t ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through

And we'll talk of trails we've walked up
Far above the timberline
There are nights I only feel right
With Carolina in the pines

In my mind I’m goin’ to Carolina
Can’t you see the sunshine

I'm walking on sunshine , wooah
I'm walking on sunshine, woooah
I'm walking on sunshine, woooah
and don't it feel good!!

We take a walk, the sun is shining down
Burns my feet as they touch the ground

It begins with a dark glowing ember
Something black burning its way out of me

Come on baby light my fire

I fell in to a burning ring of fire,
I went down, down, down and the flames they went higher.

Tongues talk fire and eyes cry rivers
Indian givers, hearts of stone
Paper ships and painted faces
The world’s no place when you’re on your own

You'll never break, never break, never break
This heart of stone, oh no, this heart of stone
You'll never break this heart of stone

This old heart of mine been broke a thousand times.

Come on, come on, come on,
Take another little piece of my heart now baby,
Break another little bit of my heart now darling.

Come on, people now, smile on your brothers,
Everybody get together, going to love one another right now.

There's nothing you can do or say,
You're gonna break my heart anyway.
Just take the pieces when you go.

There's nothing you can do that can't be done.
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game.
It's easy.

Easy like Sunday morning

I woke Sunday Morning
with no way to hold my head
that didn't hurt.

S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y night!

Another Saturday night
And I ain't got nobody.
I've got some money
Cause I just got paid.

Saturday night's alright for fighting

Everywhere I hear the sound of marching, charging feet, boy
'Cause summer's here and the time is right for fighting in the street, boy

You can bring me the reaper
Bring me the lawyer
I'm a fighter, i'll take em on

I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover and
I'm a sinner.

#168 LA12Hernandez...good one!

How sweet life would be
If I could be free
From the sinner in me

*toes the ground* Aww shucks Thanks.

How sweet it is to be loved by you...

#171...lol

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue

Blue skies smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies do I see

Mr Blue Sky
Please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long)

You're my blue sky,
You're my sunny day
Don't you know it makes me high
When you turn your love my way

sunshine, blue skies, please go away
my girl has found another and gone away...

Blue skies smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies do I see

#178...calling a foul...was used in #174...lol j/k

Sorry. I didn't look that far up the chain. More coffee, please.

Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue

Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows,
everything that's wonderful
is what I feel

Who can take a rainbow, wrap it in a sigh
Soak it in the sun and make a groovy lemon pie

> just had to jump back in and post this one!

Just kicking down the cobble streets
Looking for fun and feeling groovy!

When I kiss your lips, ooh I start to shiver
Can't control the quivering inside
Wouldnt you agree
Baby you and me
Got a groovy kind of love

Let's groove tonight. Share the spice of life. Baby slice it right

It's the right time of the night
The stars are winking above
Its the right time of the night
For making love

Stars shining bright above you.
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you."
Birds singing in the sycamore tree,
Dream a little dream of me.

I dreamed a dream of time gone by
when hope was high, and life worth living

Am I dreamin',
Am I just imagining you're here in my life?

I had a dream last night
The world was set on fire
And everywhere I ran
There wasn't any water

I'd like to buy the world a Coke
And keep it company

Can't buy me love
Everybody tells me so

Everybody knows you've been treating me bad,
Everybody knows you've been making me sad,
Everybody knows

Everybody's talking at me
I don't hear them talking
I won't let you leave my love behind.

Everybody's doin' a brand new dance now. ...

In the shuffling madness
Of the locomotive breath
Runs the all-time loser
Headlong to his death

he's leaving, (leaving), on the midnight train to georgia,

Don't go ridin' on that Long Black Train.

The midnight train is whining low,
I'm so lonesome I could cry.

Oh listen to the jungle, the rumble and the roar,
She's the regular combination called the Wabash Cannonball

I am Woman,
Hear me roar,
In numbers too big to ignore.

I'm every Woman
It's all in me
Anything you want done, baby
I do it naturally

You make me feel
Like a natural woman

you make me feel like dancing I'm gonna dance my life away

I find romance
When I start to dance
In boogie wonderland

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight.
Walking in a winter wonderland.

#207...jennig...ooh! (cringing) you didn't go there! lol

Now she's got rings on her fingers
And bells on her toes
Say has anybody seen my
Sweet gypsy Rose

#208 At least I didn't cite The Little Drummer Boy. :)

Everyone knows
That I'm just Second-Hand Rose,
Never had a single things that's new.

ETA (I just can't help it)

Even Jake the Plumber,
He's the man I adore,
He had the nerve to tell me
He's been married before.

going to the chapel and were gonna get married...

Come on and marry me Bill
I got the weddin' bell blues
Please marry me Bill
I got the weddin' bell blues (blues)
Weddin' bell blues (blues)

Well she walked into town in a long white gown
And the band played on with no one around
And the rice was gone oh hours ago
And the white wheeled limousine's standing alone

Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?

Picking up paw paws, put 'em in your pocket,
Way down yonder in the paw paw patch.

Way down yonder on the Chattahoochee
It gets hotter than a hoochee coochie

Way down where the music plays
Way down like a tidal wave
Way down where the fires blaze

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

We could ride the surf together
While our love would grow
In my woodie I would take you
Everywhere I go

Can't resist double posting, in honor of the day:

The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds
Of Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
With their vocal group, the Crypt-Kicker Five

...and continuing in the spirit....

Don't go around tonight,
Well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.

*Happy Halloween*

If you go out to the woods tonight,
You're sure of a big surprise.
If you go out to the woods tonight,
You'd better go in disguise....

Bwa-hahahahahahah!

'Cos this is Thriller!
Thriller night

I woke up this morning feeling brand new
Cause the dreams that I've been dreaming have finally come true
It's a new day

Welcome to my morning,
Welcome to my day,
Yeah, I'm the one responsible,
I made it just this way.

Call me irresponsible, call me unreliable, throw in undependable, too...

Call me, call me on the line
Call me, call me any, anytime
Call me, call me my love
You can call me any day or night
Call me

Call me.
Don't be afraid,
You can call me.
Maybe it's late,
But just call me.
Call me and I'll be around.

Operator
Give me information
Information
Give me long distance
Long distance
Give me heaven...

(Two, three)
Operator
Information
Give me Jesus on the line

Your own personal Jesus
Reach out and touch faith

Reach out and touch somebody's hand,
Make this world a better place
If you can.

Reach out darlin', reach out for me
I'll be there with a love that will shelter you
Yeah, I'll be there with a love that will see you through

DQ, that was the title song of the second album I ever owned, and has remained a favorite for over 40 years.

Well I've been too long in this storm
I feel so sad and forlorn
And perhaps I'm counting on you
See me through

Don't know why
Ain't no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather

Why does the rain fall from up above,
Why do fools fall in love?

#233 - isn't it amazing that these lyrics can take us immediately back to a place or event in our past. I still remember the first record I ever owned as well! I paid one dollar for Roll Over Beethoven (Beatles version).

Back to the game:

I'm a fool, but I'll love you dear, until the day I die
Now and then there's a fool such as I

Let's Drink A Toast To The Fool Who Couldn't See

Release, unlock this prison door
It can't hold me anymore
Serpent lied with sting of tale
Hand of reason rusts the nail
Now this punch drunk grinning soul
In its corner begs no more

I've been in here eighteen years and I've still got life to go
Yes, I've still got life to go

don't know why THIS came to mind, but...

Go, Speed Racer, go!!!

going to a go-go...

Wake me up before you go-go
'Cause I'm not planning on going solo

Wake up little Susie, wake up
We've both been sound asleep
The movie's over, it's four o'clock
And we're in trouble deep

The party's over
It's time to call it a day....

Turn out the lights,
The party's over.
They say that
All good things must end.

(Imagine Don Meredith's mellow twang)

It's the end of the world
As we know it

wow...some really good responses!

Make the world go away, Get it off my shoulder
Say the things we used to say
And make the world, make it go away

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy

Sunshine through my window
That's what you are

You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are gray

Let your light shine
For all the world to see
The brightness of your life within
The peace that set you free

This little light of mine,
I'm gonna let it shine.
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

Passing by, you light up my darkest skies
You take only seconds to draw me in

You light up my life
You give me hope to carry on
You light up my days
And fill my nights with song

Midnight at the oasis.
Send your camel to bed.

Let the Midnight Special
shine it's light on me.
Let the Midnight Special
shine it's ever-loving light on me.

I wish it would rain down on me

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again

Kentucky rain keeps pouring down.
And up ahead's another town
That I'll go walking through
With the rain in my shoes,
Looking for you
In the cold Kentucky rain.

Oh yeah I'm the type of guy that likes to roam around
I'm never in one place I roam from town to town

So here's to you, my ramblin' boy,
May all your ramblin' bring you joy

Ramblin' rose, ramblin' rose,
Why you ramble, no one knows.
Wild and windblown, that's how you've grown.
Who can cling to a ramblin' rose?

The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

LOL!

Knock three times on the ceiling if you want me,
Twice on the pipe, if the answer is no

You're once twice three times a lady

Everytime I try to prove I love you
1, 2, 3 red light stops me

Cause two out of three ain't bad.

In life one and one don't make two
One and one make one

One is the loneliest number that you ever knew.
Two can be as bad as one.
It's the loneliest number since the number one.

Only the lonely
know the way I feel tonight

Tonight, tonight
It all began tonight
I saw you and the world went away

Don't tell me it's the end of the world
It ended when I lost your love

You've lost that loving feeling

Feelings, wo-o-o feelings,
wo-o-o, feel you again in my arms.

Full moon and empty arms
The moon is there for us to share, but where are you?

Well, it's a marvelous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
'Neath the cover of October skies

Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Don't let the moon break your heart
The love blooms at night, in the daylight it dies

One by one
The stars are going out

Twinkle twinkle little star

you turn my dreams into reality

Starry, starry night, paint your palette blue and gray

Well now that she is gone
You won't feel bad for long
Maybe just an hour or just a moment of the day
Then blue turns to grey

She's Gone Oh I, Oh I'd
better learn how to face it
She's Gone Oh I, Oh I'd
pay the devil to replace her

She's the devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress,
Devil with the blue dress on

Well she's got every rare perfection
All her looks beyond compare
She's got dresses that seem to float in the wind
Pre-Raphaelite curls in her hair

She be neat fair and handsome
In every degree
She is the flower of this country
The rose of Ardee

She can kill with a smile
She can wound with her eyes
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child
But she's always a woman to me

You can't hide your lyin' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide you lyin' eyes

She was my life,
She was my dreams.
Oh, but baby, not right now.
My dreams are coming together,
And I'm falling apart.
But don't worry about me,
I'll be fine.

There is black and white,
Good and evil.
I walk in shadows towards the light.
I fall,
I stumble,
But honey, i know you are guilding me.
You see a smile on my face,
A tear in my eye.
But don't worry about me,
I'll be fine.

She was my life,
She was my dreams.
Oh, but baby, not right now.
My dreams are coming together,
And I'm falling apart.
But don't worry about me,
I'll be fine.

There is black and white,
Good and evil.
I walk in shadows towards the light.
I fall,
I stumble,
But honey, i know you are guilding me.
You see a smile on my face,
A tear in my eye.
But don't worry about me,
I'll be fine.

I'll reach out my hand to you, I'll have faith in all you do
Just call my name and I'll be there

Holding back, everyday the same
Don't wanna be a loner
Listen to me, oh no, I never say anything at all
But with nothing to consider they forget my name, ame, ame

Cellophane
Mister Cellophane
Shoulda been my name
Mister Cellophane
'Cause you can look right through me
Walk right by me
And never know I'm there...

Just walk on by,
Wait on the corner.
I love you,
But we're strangers when we meet.

Strangers in the night
Two lonely people, we were strangers in the night
exchanging glances

Though you drown in good intentions
You will never quench the fire
You'll give in to your desire
When the stranger comes along.

Funny, I'm a stranger myself here --
Small world, isn't it?

The world is a ball
A ball in a game
With no rules at all

isnt our loss of faith
such a crying shame?
if only we could turn back time,
to the day of our...

I've been cry - i - i - i - ing over you
Cry - i - i - i - ing over you and you said "so long"
Left me standing all alone
Alone and crying

Cry, little sister - Thou shall not fall
Come to your brother - Thou shall not die
Unchain me, sister - Thou shall not fear
Love is with your brother - Thou shall not kill

Little sister, don't you
Do what your big sister done

Hey little sister what have you done
Hey little sister who's the only one
Hey little sister who's your superman
Hey little sister who's the one you want
Hey little sister shot gun!

You see little sister don't miss when she aims her gun
That's the night the lights went out in Georgia

I heard my mama cry,
I heard her pray the night Chicago died.

Hey sister why you all alone?
I'm standing out your window
Hey little sister, can I come inside, dear?

Look through any window
What do you see?
Smiling faces all around
Rushing through the busy town

The rain came down like beads
Bouncing on the noses
Of the people from the train

Take the last train to Clarksville
And I'll meet you at the station

On a warm summer's evenin' on a train bound for nowhere...

Nowhere man, please listen.
You don't know what you're missin'.

Listen, do you want to know a secret,
do you promise not to tell

It's no secret, how strong my love is for you.

My secret love's no secret any more

Listen do you want to know a secret?
Do you promise not to tell?

exiled...repeat of my post #315.

Secret agent man, secret agent man
They've given you a number and taken away your name

I'm looking for a girl
She has no name or number
And so I search within this lonely place
Knowing that I won't find her

#319 maybe it's a different secret ;-)

Rikki Don't Lose That Number
You don't wanna call nobody else
Send it off in a letter to yourself
Rikki don't lose that number
It's the only one you own
You might use it if you feel better
When you get home

I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
And make believe it came from you

Return to sender.
Address unknown.
No such number.
No such zone.

And then While I'm away
I'll write home every day
And I'll send all my loving to you.

#319 by golly, you are right. My only excuse its that I'm taking mega doses of cold medicine right now. :)

Oh happy day
Oh happy day
When Jesus washed all my sins away

(In my mind, I am hearing the kids from Sister Act II singing this! Mind you, this could be the aforementioned medicine at work, lol)

exiled...lol...by your song choice, it sounds like your having too much fun with that cold medicine! lol

Love and happiness... Something that can make you do wrong, make you do right

Do me wrong, do me right,
Tell me lies but hold me tight,
Save your goodbyes for the morning light,
But don't let me be lonely tonight.

I was born with the wrong sign, in the wrong house, with the wrong ascendancy
I took the wrong road, that led to the wrong tendencies
I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
On the wrong day of the wrong week
I used the wrong method with the wrong technique

But I'll keep on trying til the right one comes along

If you want a do-right-all-day woman

You’ve got to be a do-right-all-night man

I used to try to drink my life away
All night long
Now I try to take it day by day
Right or wrong

Jose Cuervo you are a friend of mine
I like to drink you with a little salt and lime

Between the sandy beaches and the margaritas
Thought I'd find a way to let you go
But there's not enough tequila in Mexico

If it's the beaches
If it's the beaches' sands you want
Then you will have them
If it's the mountains' bending rivers
Then you will have them
If it's the wish to run away
Then I will grant it
Take whatever that you think of
While I go gas up the truck
Pack the old love letters up
We will read them when we forget why we left here

Got my toes in the water,
My ass in the sand.
Not a worry in the world,
A cold beer in my hand,
Life is good today.

Some beach
Somewhere
There's a big umbrella casting shade over a empty chair
Palm trees are growing and a warm breezes a blowing
I picture myself right there
On Some beach, somewhere

*...oh, all this talk about beaches makes me wish I was on an island somewhere...lol...especially with the weather right now here in Cleveland. *sighs longingly*

The sun is shining, the grass is green,
The orange and palm trees sway --
There's never been such a day
In Beverly hills, LA.
But it's December the twenty-fourth
And I am longing to be up north...

The sun is shining, there's plenty of light
A new day is dawning, sunny and bright
But after I've been crying all night
The sun is cold and the new day seems old

Sunrise, sunset, will you wash away the rain?
Sunrise, sunset, can you wash away the pain?

Can't resist the obvious response to that one:

Is this the little girl I carried?
Is this the little boy at play?
I don't remember getting older
When did they?

Thank heaven for little girls
For without them what would little boys do?

--must be karma or some such, that song's been in my head all afternoon, for no apparant reason. Except to add to this thread. :)

Heaven knows it's not the way it should be
heaven knows it's not the way it could be

Heaven.
I'm in Heaven.
And my heart beats so
That I can hardly speak.
And I seem to find the happiness I seek,
When we're out together
Dancing cheek to cheek.

(no, no. Facial cheeks. This song is from a more innocent time.)

'Cause a heartbeat, it's a lovebeat,

And a lovebeat is a good vibration,

Oh a heartbeat it's a lovebeat,

And when we meet, it's a good sensation,

I'm picking up good vibrations
She's giving me excitations
Close my eyes
She's somehow closer now

Oh you've got green eyes
Oh you've got blue eyes
Oh you've got grey eyes
And I've never met anyone quite like you before

the shadow in the child's eyes
before he ever hears a lie
he's looking for something real

Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own

I live in the world of spirits
And I talk to the walls
Deliver me from
This little hell
Deliver me from
This little hell
Deliver me from

Mama
Please be good . . .

Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans,
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens...
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood,
Where lived a country boy name of Jonny B. Goode...
He never ever learned to read or write so well,
But he could play the guitar like ringing a bell.

Go, Go, Go Jonny Go, Go
Go Jonny Go Go
Go Jonny Go Go
Go Jonny Go Go
Johnny B Goode

Go Speed Racer (go)
Go Speed Racer (go)
Go Speed Racer, go
Mach go, go, go

Johnny get angry, Johnny get mad
Give me the biggest lecture I've ever had
I want a brave man, I want a cave man
Johnny show that you care, really care for me

(How sexist!)

You don't own me, I'm not just one of your many toys
You don't own me, don't say I can't go with other boys

He doesn't look like a movie star
He doesn't drive a Cadillac car
He sure ain't the boy I've been dreamin' of,
But he's sure the boy I love

You're the one that I love to kiss,
Baby, you're the one that I really miss.
You're the one that I'm dreamin' of,
Baby, you're the one that I love.

Love between two people
Should be based on understanding
Till that's true you'll find your things
All stacked out on the landing
Oh, Valentine's Day is over, it's over

My funny Valentine
Sweet comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable, unphotographable
Yet you're my favorite work of art

Smile, through your fear and sorrow,
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through
If you just smile.

The sun'll come out tomorrow
So ya gotta hang on til tomorrow
Come what may - Tomorrow! Tomorrow!
You're always a day away

Let's hang on to what we've got.
Don't let go, girl; we've got a lot

But, oh, if we call the whole thing off, then we must part
And oh, if we ever part then that might break my heart

They say that breaking up is hard to do
Now I know I know that it's true

it's not as if new york city
burnt down to the ground
once you drove away
it's not as if the sun won't shine
when clouds up above
wash the blues away

are we breaking up?
are we breaking up?
is there trouble between you and i?
did my heart break enough?
did it break enough this time?

Breaking up is hard to do

It's been a hard day's night,
And I been workin' like a dog.
It's been a hard day's night,
I should be sleepin' like a log.
But when I get home to you
And all the things that you do,
It makes me fee-eel ah-alright.

You made me cry, you told me lies
But I can't stand to say goodbye
Mama, I'm coming home

*somebody has been dippin' in the cold medicine again...^^ ...lol

She needed a chill-out but no one would cool out our mamma,
A gun in her hand and the blood it spilled out in the sand...
Mother!

Tie your Mother down!
Tie your Mother down!
Lock your Daddy out of doors
I don't need him nosing around

Cause your mama don't dance and
your dady don't rock and roll.

So years have passed and all the kids are grown
The angels took Mama to a brand new home
Lord knows, people, I shedded tears
But my daddy's voice kept me through the years

Patches, I'm dependin' on you, son
To pull the family through
My son, it's all left up to you

True Life behind a wall
Where men and angels fall
A fading memory, when my mind is frozen

I can see an angel walking
Someone else is by his side
I can hear an angel talking
And he looks so satisfied

Make me an angel that flies from montgom'ry
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go

She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree

Brother married Becky Thompson,
They bought a store in Tupelo.
And me, I spend a lot of time
Picking flowers up on Choctaw Ridge,
And droppin' 'em into the the muddy water
Off of Tallahatchee Bridge.

'Cause I'm an Indian outlaw. Half Cherokee and Choctaw My baby she's a Chikiwawa She's one of a kind...

He was born a little baby on the Appalachian Trail
At six months old he'd done three months in jail
He robbed a bank in his diapers and his little bare baby feet
All he said was, "Folks, my name is Outlaw Pete."

(Day One) A chapel is a glistening
(Day Three) The sun is shining on a perfect beach
(Day Six) A train that isn't whistling
(Day Ten) and I don't want to see you off again

Because we're going to the chapel and we're gonna get married.
Going to the chapel and we're gonna get married.
Gee, I really love you and we're gonna get married.
Going to the chapel of love.

The love shack
Is a little old place
Where we can get together
Love shack, baby.

There's a crazy little shack beyond the tracks
And everybody calls it the Sugar Shack
Well, it's just a coffeehouse and it's made out of wood
But expresso coffee tastes mighty good

Honey, ahh,
Sugar, sugar.
You are my candy girl,
And you got me wanting you.

Diamonds in a ring
Presents I could bring
Wouldn't mean a
Thing to Skooby Doo

(same cd, I haven't listened to it in forever. Think I'll go do that :)

This diamond ring doesn't shine for me anymore
And this diamond ring doesn't mean what it meant before
So if you've got someone whose love is tru-u-ue
Let it shine for yo-ou-ou

If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it

Shine on, shine on Harvest Moon
Up in the sky.
I ain't had no lovin' since
January, February, June or July.

Snow time ain't no time to stay
Outdoors and spoon;
So shine on, shine on Harvest Moon
For me and my gal.

My mistress's eyes are nothing like the sun
My hunger for her explains everything I've done
To howl at the moon the whole night through
And I really don't care if I do
I'd go out of my mind but for you.

There's a time to work and a time to play
I've worked all I'm gonna work today
Ain't no stopping me now
It's my night to howl

Howling at the moon
Growling at the lightning

Well I asked my old pappy why he called his brew
White lightnin' 'stead of mountain dew
I took a little sip and right away I knew
As my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue
Lightnin' started flashin' and thunder started crashin'
Shhhoooh . . . white lightnin'

When I see lips begging to be kissed (Stop)
I can't stop. I can't stop myself.
Lightnin's striking again
Lightnin's striking again!

(ooooo - I hated that song! I had a boyfriend who took it as gospel.)

I know it is has a horrible message, but I have to admit that I really liked it at the time, now I find it very sexist!

I'm standing high on tiptoe
Peering over fences
Waiting for somebody like you
To kiss me senseless

A smile relieves a heart that grieves
Remember what I said,
I'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting on a friend

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running
To see you again.

Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind
People think I'm insane
All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify
Can you help me occupy my brain?
Oh yeah
Yeah
Yeah

Goin' out of my head, over you-
Out of my head, over you -
Out of my head, day and night
Night and day and night.
Wrong or right.

I must think of a way
Into your heart.
There's no reason why
My being shy
Should keep us apart.

I think you're just evil
You're just some racist who can't tie my laces
Your point of view is medieval

Fuck you, fuck you very, very much
'Cause we hate what you do
And we hate your whole crew
So please don't stay in touch

Fuck you, fuck you very, very much
'Cause your words don't translate
And it's getting quite late
So please don't stay in touch

You want to be like your father
It's approval you're after

Fuck you, fuck you very, very much
'Cause we hate what you do
And we hate your whole crew
So please don't stay in touch

Fuck you, fuck you very, very much
'Cause your words don't translate
And it's getting quite late
So please don't stay in touch

Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
Fuck you

You say you think we need to go to war
Well, you're already in one
'Cause it's people like you that need to get slew
No one wants your opinion

Fuck you, fuck you very, very much
'Cause we hate what you do
And we hate your whole crew
So please don't stay in touch

Fuck you, fuck you very, very much
'Cause your words don't translate
And it's getting quite late
So please don't stay in touch

Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you

A few questions that I need to know
I need to know what I've done wrong
and how long it's been going on
Was it that I never paid enough attention?
Or did I not give enough affection?
Not only will your answers keep me sane
but I'll know never to make the same mistake again
You can tell me to my face or even on the phone
You can write it in a letter, either way, I have to know
Did I never treat you right?
Did I always start the fight?
Either way, I'm going out of my mind
all the answers to my questions
I have to find
