Friday ear worm thread ~ what kind of mood are YOU in today ! hang it here

[In_The_Wind]

To have and not to hold
So hot, yet so cold
My heart is in your hand
And yet you never stand
Close enough for me to have my way

To love but not to keep
To laugh, not to weep
Your eyes, they go right through
And yet you never do
Anything to make me want to stay


Like a moth to a flame
Only I am to blame
Ba ba da ba ba ba
What can I do?
Ba ba da ba ba ba
I go straight to you
Ba ba da ba ba ba
I've been told
You're to have, not to hold

To look but not to see
To kiss but never be
The object of your desire
I'm walking on a wire
And there's no one at all
To break my fall



You're to have, not to hold
You're to have, not to hold



You're to have, not to hold
You're to have, not to hold
You're to have, not to hold
To break my heart

[cleofus1]

1. good morning joan!

great song!

[In_The_Wind]

2. good morning ~ cleofus

that song has been running through my mind for days ... so it's time for me to share it with DU ... after a bit of lurking and reading replies to my last night's post ... it seemed like the right time for an ear worm

[progmom]

3. this has been in my head all morning....maybe because it's cooler today

Kirsty MacColl - Last Day of Summer

I think I just recalled a time
It was not the moon and not the wine
And though you said you were a friend of mine
I never felt that way inclined
Oh the days were hot and the nights were long
I must have sung a million songs
But all the words just came out wrong
On the last day of summer

I tried to walk the line
Hoped everything would turn out fine
But I think I fell in love that time
On the last day
And then the rain came down and
Sparkled the signs of the underground
And the darkness fell all over town
On the last day

I think I dropped my guard that time
I was flesh and blood and grit and slime
And I think I may have lost my mind
On the last day of summer
I think I fell in love back there
It was tooth and nail it was bones and hair
And you’ll never never know how much I cared
On the last day of summer

And though I think I fell that time
It was not the only fault of mine
But all I wanted was a sign
On the last day
I think you broke my heart that day
And nothing I could do or say
Could make the coldness go away
On the last day

The winter changes everything
And the raindrops freeze
On the signs of the underground
I wonder will you think of me
When you look up and see
There’s a full moon over london town

I think I was away the day
When you said you were too smart to play
And you’d only beat me anyway
It’s funny how I would have stayed
And you said you were a friend of mine
But that’s not what I had in mind
I think I fell in love that time
On the last day of summer

I tried to walk the line
Hoped everything would turn out fine
But I lost the reasons and the rhymes
On the last day
And then the rain came down
And sparkled the signs of the underground
And the darkness fell all over town
On the last day

6. good morning ~ progmom

what would you like in your coffee this morning


perhaps ... it's sad song day time for a blue note or two!

[progmom]

8. welll....the espresso machine at work is broken

so i am just drinking plain old regular coffee....which means i will be bouncing off the walls soon. :(

[In_The_Wind]

11. When I was attached to the corporate world, everyday started with a double

espresso in my favorite mug, at home ... before I stood the world on end. My store was always on the top 3 of Carvel's list ... I'm so vain about my 'work ethics', I still have my copy of the weekly news letters from headquarters. *bragging rights are clearly mine*

[khashka]

18. Don't Come The Cowboy With Me Sonny Jim

I knew I could depend on you... somebody besides me likes Kirsty McColl!

It's gonna be a beautiful day :)

Khash.

[Debbi801]

32. Hiya Khash! I like her too. (nt)

[progmom]

34. I know lots of those and you're not one of them.

;)

I am so glad to know another couple of Kirsty fans!! :loveya:

[Debbi801]

31. That is one of my favorites of hers...

I'm listening to the Titanic Days CD right now.

:hi:

My most fave on that CD is Soho Square.

[progmom]

33. After Kirsty died....

...a group of her fans pooled money together and bought a bench with an inscription on it and had it dedicated to her in Soho Square. There's a gathering there for her every October - on her birthday.

:cry:

[Debbi801]

35. That is so sad....

And so touching.

What a tragedy that was.

:cry:

[ahem]

4. Here's mine for today...

BIRD ON THE WIRE

Like a bird on the wire,
like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
Like a worm on a hook,
like a knight from some old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee.
If I, if I have been unkind,
I hope that you can just let it go by.
If I, if I have been untrue
I hope you know it was never to you.

Like a baby, stillborn,
like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone who reached out for me.
But I swear by this song
and by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee.
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch,
he said to me, "You must not ask for so much."
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door,
she cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"

Oh like a bird on the wire,
like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.

[In_The_Wind]

15. BIRD ON THE WIRE = awesome!

"Hey, why not ask for more?"

[no name no slogan]

5. Here's mine, from way back in 1972

"SHOW AND TELL" by Al Wilson

These are the eyes that never knew how to smile
Till you came into my life
And these are the arms
That long to lock you inside every day
And every night
Girl, and here is the soul of which you've taken control
Can'tcha see I'm tryin' to show love is right

Whoa, oh, oh, oh show and tell
Just a game I play
When I wanna say "I love you"
Girl, so show me and tell me
That you feel the same way too
Say you do, baby

These are the hands
That can't help reaching for you
If you're anywhere in sight
And these are the lips
That can't help callin' your name
In the middle of the night


Whoa, and here is the man
Who needs to know where you stand
Dontcha know I've done all I can, so decide

Whoa, oh, oh, oh show and tell
Just a game I play
When I wanna say "I love you" (I love you)
Girl, so show me and tell me
That you feel the same way too
Say you do, say you do, baby, baby, baby

Ahh, here is the soul
Of which you've taken control
Can't you see I'm tryin' to show love is right

Ooh, girl, show and tell
Just a game I play
When I wanna say "Oh, I love you"
Girl, so show me and tell me
That you feel the same way too
Say you do, say you do, baby

Whoa, oh, oh, oh show and tell
Just a game I play
When I wanna say "Oh, I love you"
Girl, so show me and tell me
That you feel the same way too
Say you do, baby, baby

Sure beats the hell out of "Working for the Weekend" :dunce:

21. How Bad Do You Want It

When I'm here on this highway
Breathing diesel smoke
Driving hard for hours
Trying to make that Memphis show
People always ask me
"Son what does it take
To reach out and touch your dreams?"
To them I always say

Are you hungry?
Are you thirsty?
Is it a fire that burns you up inside?
How bad do you want it?
How bad do you need it?
Are you eating, sleeping, dreaming
With that one thing on your mind?
How bad do you want it?
How bad do you need it?
Cause if you want it all
You've got to lay it all out on the line

I get to make my living
Doing what I love
Every night I give my heart and soul
Sometimes that ain't enough
But brother, if you're like me
Looking down that road
Be careful of that wild wind, son
Sometimes it don't let go

Can you feel it?
Can you taste it?
Can you hear it knocking at your door?
How bad do you want it?
How bad do you need it?
Are you eating, sleeping, dreaming
With that one thing on your mind?
How bad do you want it?
How bad do you need it?
Cause if you want it all
You've got to lay it all out on the line

There's always a price you pay no matter what you do
If you're gonna climb that mountain to the top
It always comes down to

How bad do you want it?
How bad do you need it?
Are you eating, sleeping, dreaming
With that one thing on your mind?
How bad do you want it?
How bad do you need it?
Cause if you want it all
You've got to lay it all out on the line



anything beats *"Working for the Weekend"*

Recorded by Tony Bennett, 1954


Bm7 AM7 D D9 AM7
The loveliness of Paris seems somehow sadly gay;

Bm7 F#m Bm7-5 Cdim E7
The glory that was Rome is of an - oth - er day;

Fdim Bm7-5 AM7 F#m7
I've been terribly alone and for - got -ten in Man - hat - ten;

D Bm7 Bm7-5 Cdim E7
I'm going home to my city by the bay.


A Fdim Cdim AM7 Cdim AM7 F#m Bm Bm+7
I left my heart in San Francisco;

E Bm7-5 E7 Cdim AM7 Fdim AM7
High on a hill, it calls to me

E7 Bm7-5 AM7 Bm7-5 AM7 Cdim AM7
To be where little cable cars

(love it!)

[Wapsie B]

9. Just can't shake this feeling.

Alone
Bee Gees
Album: Still Waters


I was a midnight rider on a cloud of smoke
I could make a woman hang on every single stroke
I was an iron man I had a master plan
But I was alone

I could hear you breathing with a sigh of the wind
I remember how your body started trembling
Oh what a night it's been, and for the state I'm in
I'm still alone

1-And all the wonders made for the earth
And all the hearts in all creation
Somehow I always end up alone

Always end up alone, always end up alone
So I'll play, I'll wait
'Cause you know that love takes time

Living love betwen the line
We came (sha la) so close (so far)
Just the beat of a lonely heart
And it's mi-i-ine, and I don't wanna be alone




Well, since I got no message on your answer phone
Since you're busy every minute I just stay at home
I make believe you care, I feel you everywhere
But I'm still alone

I'm on a wheel of fortune with a twist of fate
'Cause I know it isn't heaven is it love or hate
Am I the subject of the pain
Am I the stranger in the rain I am alone

And is there glory there to behold
Maybe it's my imagination another story there to be told
So I play sha la, I'll wait sha la
And I pray it's not too late
We came sha la so far so far
Just a beat of a lonely heart and it's mi-i-ine
And I don't wanna be alone

Gone but not out of sight
I'm caught in the rain and there's no one home
I don't wanna be alone face the heat of the the night
The one that you love's got a heart that's made of stone
You search for the light
And sooner or later you'll be cruising on your ocean
And clean out of sight I'm caught in the rain
And there's no one home

[In_The_Wind]

10. Morning Joanie!

:hug: Can I get some 1% low fat milk in my coffee this a.m.? :donut: My ear worm for this Friday

Nobody knows you when you're down and out!

Once I lived the life of a millionaire,
Spent all my money, I just did not care.
Took all my friends out for a good time,
Bought bootleg whisky, champagne and wine.

Then I began to fall so low,
Lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go.
I get my hands on a dollar again,
I'm gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins.

'Cause no, no, nobody knows you
When you're down and out.
In your pocket, not one penny,
And as for friends, you don't have any.

When you finally get back up on your feet again,
Everybody wants to be your old long-lost friend.
Said it's mighty strange, without a doubt,
Nobody knows you when you're down and out.

When you finally get back upon your feet again,
Everybody wants to be your good old long-lost friend.
Said it's mighty strange,
Nobody knows you,
Nobody knows you,
Nobody knows you when you're down and out.

[In_The_Wind]

20. mornin ~ ((((((((( merh )))))))))

1% low fat milk in your coffee it is then ~


ain't this the way of things some days ~ ~ ~


Everybody Hates Me ~ Tim McGraw

Well Joe got a promotion
He's up there on top
Everybody was cheerin' him on
He deserves everything he's got

Guess who's the new talk of the town
The new S.O.B.
The one everybody loves cuttin' down
Man it's a sight to see
They all smile right to his face, and hide the jealousy
Me I'm just working hard to get to that place,
Where everybody hates me

(Now check this out)

Well Bill got a promotion
He knocked Joe back down
Now Joe's everybody's long lost friend
He's back in the crowd

Guess who's the new talk of the town
The new S.O.B.
The one everybody loves cuttin' down
Man it's a sight to see
They all smile right to his face, and hide the jealousy
Me I'm just working hard to get to that place,
Where everybody hates me

Well everybody wants to be the big dog
Wanna wag that big dog tail
But til' they are they wanna see the big dog fail

You pay your dues and you get your breaks
Then your the S.O.B.
The one everybody loves to hate
It just comes naturally
They all smile right to your face, and hide the jealousy
That's just the way it goes and I can't wait
Til everybody hates me

19. ... think I broke the wings off that little song bird

DIXIE CHICKS - Top Of The World

I wished I was smarter
I wished I was stronger
I wished I loved Jesus
The way my wife does
I wish it had been easier
Instead of any longer
I wished I could have stood where you would have been proud
But that won't happen now
That won't happen now

There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard
Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow
Think I broke the wings off that little song bird
She's never gonna fly to the top of the world right now
Top of the world

I don't have to answer any of these questions
Don't have no God to teach me no lessons
I come home in the eveing
Sit in my chair
One night they called me for supper
But I never got up
I stayed right there in my chair

There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard
Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow
Think I broke the wings off that little song bird
She's never gonna fly to the top of the world right now
Top of the world

I wished I'd a known you
Wished I'd a shown you
All of the things I was on the inside
I'd pretend to be sleeping
When you come in in the morning
To whisper good-bye
Go to work in the rain
I don't know why
Don't know why

'Cause everone's singing
We just wanna be heard
Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow
Wanna grab a hold of that little song bird
Take her for a ride to the top of the world right now

To the top of the world
To the top of the world
To the top of the world
To the top of the world
To the top of the world
To the top of the world
To the top of the world
To the top of the world




check out the mini-bunnies & the flop-eared bunnies for a bit of a fluffy feeling while you're there gf ... BTW kick back and enjoy the ride ... you got the bull by its horns and the world at your feet! :yourock:

[In_The_Wind]

49. Dixie Chicks - Cowboy Take Me Away

I said I wanna touch the earth I wanna break it in my hands
I wanna grow something wild and unruly
I wanna sleep on the hard ground in the comfort of your arms
on a pillow of blue bonnets in a blanket made of stars

Oh it sounds good to me
I said

Cowboy take me away fly this girl as high as you can into the wild blue
set me free oh I pray closer to heaven above and closer to you
Closer to you

I wanna walk and not run, I wanna skip and not fall
I wanna look at the horizon, and not see a building standing tall
I wanna be the only one, for miles and miles
except for maybe you, and your simple smile

oh it sounds good to me, yes it sounds so good to me,

Cowboy take me away, fly this girl as high as you can into the wild blue
set me free, oh, I pray, closer to heaven above, and closer to you
Closer to you

I said, I wanna touch the earth, I wanna break it in my hands
I wanna grow something wild and unruly

oh it sounds so good to me,


Cowboy take me away, fly this girl as high as you can into the wild blue
set me free, oh, I pray, closer to heaven above, and closer to you
Closer to you

closer to you, closer to you, cowboy take me away, closer to you



this might have made you think about bringing a Cowboy home for your friends

BTW ~ I'm glad you and your hubby enjoyed the fair.

16. A few by Metallica actually....

My friend of misery....


You just stood there screaming
fearing no one was listening to you
they say the empty can rattles the most
the sound of your voice must soothe you
hearing only what you want to hear
and knowing only what you've heard
you you're smothered in tragedy
you're out to save the world

misery
you insist that the weight of the world
should be on your shoulders
misery
there's much more to life than what you see
my friend of misery

you still stood there screaming
no one caring about these words you tell
my friend before your voice is gone
one man's fun is another's hell
these times are sent to try men's souls
but something's wrong with all you see
you you'll take it on all yourself
remember, misery loves company

misery
you insist that the weight of the world
should be on your shoulders
misery
there's much more to life than what you see
my friend of misery

you just stood there screaming
my friend of misery



The Struggle Within....


Reaching out for something you've got to feel
while clutching to what you had thought was real

kicking at a dead horse pleases you
no way of showing your gratitude
so many things you don't want to do
what is it? what have you got ot lose

what the hell
what is you think you're gonna find?
hypocrite
boredom sets into the boring mind

struggle within it suits you fine
struggle within your ruin
struggle within you seal your own coffin
struggle within the struggling within

home is not a home it becomes a hell
turning it into your prison cell
advantages are taken, not handed out
while you struggle inside your hell

reaching out
grabbing for something you've got to feel
closing in
the pressure upon you is so real

struggle within it suits you fine
struggle within your ruin
struggle within you seal your own coffin
struggle within the struggling within

reaching out for something you've got to feel
while clutching to what you had thought was real
what the hell

what is you think you're gonna find
hypocrite
boredom sets into the boring mind

struggle within it suits you fine
struggle within your ruin
struggle within you seal your own coffin
struggle within the struggling within


Through the never


All that is, was and will be
universe much too big to see

time and space never ending
disturbing thoughts, questions pending
limitations of human understanding
too quick to criticize
obligation to survive
we hunger to be alive

all that is, ever
ever was
will be ever
twisting
turning
through the never

in the dark, see past our eyes
pursuit of Truth no matter where it lies

gazing up to the breeze of the heavens
on a quest, meaning, reason
came to be, how it begun
all alone in the family of the sun
curiosity teasing everyone
on our home, third stone from the sun

all that is, ever
ever was
will be ever
twisting
turning
through the never

on through the never
we must go
on through the never
out of the
edge of forever
we must go
on through the never
then ever comes

all that is, ever
ever was
will be ever
who we are
ask forever
twisting
turning
through the never

never



Sad But True

Hey
I'm your life
I'm the one who takes you there
hey
I'm your life
I'm the one who cares
they
they betray
I'm your only true friend now
they
they'll betray
I'm forever there

I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
sad but true

I'm your dream, mind astray
I'm your eyes while you're away
I'm your pain while you repay
you know it's sad but true

you
you're my mask
you're my cover, my shelter
you
you're my mask
you're the one who's blamed
do
do my work
do my dirty work, scapegoat
do
do my deeds
for you're the one who's shamed

I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
sad but true

I'm your dream, mind astray
I'm your eyes while you're away
I'm your pain while you repay
you know it's sad but true

hate
I'm your hate
I'm your hate when you want love
pay
pay the price
pay, for nothing's fair

hey
I'm your life
I'm the one who took you here
hey
I'm your life
and I no longer care

I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
sad but true

I'm your truth, telling lies
I'm your reasoned alibis
I'm inside open your eyes

I'm you

sad but true

[jus_the_facts]

37. one more....

Sweet Amber...seems this one was written just for me.



Wash your back so you won’t stab mine
Get in bed with your own kind
Live your life so you don’t see mine
Drape your back so you won’t shine

Ooh then she holds my hand
And I lie to get a smile

Using what I want
To get what I want

Ooh sweet amber
How sweet are you?
How sweet does it get?

Chase the rabbit, fetch the stick
She rolls me over ‘till I’m sick
She deals in habits, deals in pain
I run away, but I’m back again

Ooh then she holds my hand
And I lie to get a smile
And she squeezes tighter
I still lie to get a smile

She holds the pen that spells the end
She traces me and draws me in

[In_The_Wind]

69. I must say this ~ jus_the_facts

I don't believe I've ever heard Metallica but the written words are very moving. thank you

[jus_the_facts]

70. They're an acquired taste I'd say....the older stuff is much better....

....than what they've done in the past decade or so...but definitely poetic lyrics regardless of their music being quite heavy metal....the last concert I attended was An Evening with Metallica back in '92...just them for 3.5 hours...it was truly an experience I'll never forget..just incredible! :hi:

17. Long time Gone

Woke up with this song in my head ...


Dixie Chicks

Daddy sits on a’ front porch swinging
Looking out on a vacant field
Used to be filled with burley t’bacca
Now he knows it never will
My brothers found work in indiana
M’ sisters a nurse at the old folks home
Mama still cooking too much for supper
And me I’ve been a long time gone


Been a long time gone
No, I ain’t hoed a row since I don’t know when
Long time gone
And it ain’t coming back again

Deliah plays that ol’ church pian’a
Sitting out on her daddy’s farm
She always thought that we’d be together
Lord I never meant to do her harm
Said she could hear me singin’ in the choir
Me, I heard another song
I caught wind and hit the road runnin’
And lord, I’ve been a long time gone


Been a long time gone
Lord, I ain’t had a prayer since I don’t know when
Long time gone
And it ain’t comin’ back again




Now me, I went to nashville,
Tryin’ to beat the big deal
Playin’ down on broadway
Gettin’ there the hard way
Living from a tip jar
Sleeping in my car
Hocking my guitar
Yeah I’m gonna be a star

Now, me and deliah singing every sunday
Watching the children and the garden grow
We listen to the radio to hear what’s cookin’
But the music ain’t got no soul
Now they sound tired but they don’t sound haggard
They’ve got money but they don’t have cash
They got junior but they don’t have hank
I think, I think, I think

The rest is a long time gone
No, I ain’t hit the roof since I don’t know when
Long time gone
And it ain’t coming back
I said a long time gone
No, I ain’t honked the horn since I don’t know when
Long time gone
And it ain’t coming back again

I said a long time, long time, long time gone
Well it’s been a long time

22. Too long gone, TOO soon! ... good morning ~ auntAgonist

come and sit a while, my friend


Frozen by Madonna

You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen when your heart's not open
You're so consumed with how much you get
You waste your time with hate and regret
You're frozen when your heart's not open

Mmm-mm-mm... If I could melt your heart
Mmm-mm-mm... We'd never be apart
Mmm-mm-mm... Give yourself to me
Mmm-mm-mm... You are the key

Now there's no point in placing the blame
And you should know I'd suffer the same
If I lose you, my heart would be broken
Love is a bird, she needs to fly
Let all the hurt inside you die
You're frozen when your heart's not open

Mmm-mm-mm... If I could melt your heart
Mmm-mm-mm... We'd never be apart
Mmm-mm-mm... Give yourself to me
Mmm-mm-mm... You are the key

You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen when your heart's not open


Mmm-mm-mm... If I could melt your heart
Mmm-mm-mm... We'd never be apart
Mmm-mm-mm... Give yourself to me
Mmm-mm-mm... You are the key

Mmm-mm-mm... If I could melt your heart
Mmm-mm-mm... We'd never be apart
Mmm-mm-mm... Give yourself to me
Mmm-mm-mm... You are the key

If I could melt your heart

[auntAgonist]

23. John Diggity Denver - Country Roads

Almost heaven, west virginia
Blue ridge mountains, shenandoah river
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze

Country roads, take me home
To the place, I be-long
West virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads

All my mem’ries, gather ’round her
Miner’s lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye

Country roads, take me home
To the place, I be-long
West virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads

I hear her voice, in the mornin’ hours she calls to me
The radio reminds me of my home far a-way
And drivin’ down the road I get a feeling’
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

Country roads, take me home
To the place, I be-long
West virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads

------------------------ALWAYS A GOOD ONE----------------------------

68. The Flower That Shattered the Stone

The Earth is our mother just turning around
With her trees in the forest and roots underground
Our father above us whos sigh is the wind
Paint us a rainbow without any end

As the river runs freely the mountain does rise
Let me touch with my fingers and see with my eyes
In the hearts of the children of pure love still roams
Like a bright star in heaven that lights our way home
Like the flower that shattered the stone

Sparrows find freedom beholding the sun
In the engine and beauty were all joined in one
I reach out before me and look to the sky
Then I hear someone whisper its something pass by

As the river runs freely the mountain does rise
Let me touch with my fingers and see with my eyes
In the hearts of the children of pure love still roams
Like a bright star in heaven that lights our way home
Like the flower that shattered the stone
Like a bright star in heaven that lights our way home
Like the flower that shattered the stone

25. Hey, Joani!!! Mine's Tori Amos-"Precious Things"

:hi:

"As I ran faster
But it caught me here
Yes my loyalties turned
Like my ankle
In the seventh grade
Running after Billy
Running after the rain
These precious things
Let them bleed
Let them wash away
These precious things let them break
Their hold over me

He said you're really an ugly
But I like the way you play
And I died
But I thanked him
Can you believe that
Sick holding on to his picture
Dressing up every day
I wanna smash the faces of those beautiful boys
Those christian boys
So you can made me cum
That doesn't make you Jesus
I remember
Yes in my peach party dress
No one dared
No one cared
To tell me where the pretty girls are
Those demigods
With their nine-inch nails
And little fascist panties
Tucked inside the heart
Of ever nice girl
These precious things
Let them bleed
Let them wash away
These precious things
Let them break
Let them wash away"

Yeah, that is the tone of today. Thanks for letting me get it off my chest!

[In_The_Wind]

27. Miss Sugar ~ girl friends are precious things!

I just spoke with the shop, they're trying to figure out 'why the cruise control' isn't working. ... but the shop is open on Saturday ... let's hope that it's fixed by the end of today.

IF it becomes a problem to go for a trike ride on my birthday ~ I'm sure I can spread my wings and fly.

[Sugar Smack]

29. Yea, baby!

We can work out the details- I've got my fingers crossed--

58. Hummingbird

Oh hummingbird, mankind was waiting for you to come flying along.
Heavenly songbird, we were so wrong. We've harmed you.
Oh hummingbird, lend us your wings. Let us soar in the atmosphere of Abha.
Lift us up to the heaven of holiness, oh source of our being, oh hummingbird.

Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away. Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away.
In you I've found a fragrance. I'll love you 'til I die.
I just love you, love you, love you. I don't even know the reason why.
Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away. Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away.
The sweetness of your nectar has drawn me like a fly.
I just love you, love you, love you. I don't even know the reason why. Now,
Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away. Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away.

Haven't you noticed the days somehow keep getting longer?
And the spirit voices linger in us all.
Haven't you noticed the rays? The spirit sun in stronger
And a new day is dawning on us all.

Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away. Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away.
Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away. Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away.
The draught of understanding; wisdom, peace and love is ours.
Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away. Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away.

36. For some reason, Physical

Physical
(Steve Kipner/Terry Shaddick)

I'm saying all the things that I know you'll like
Making good conversation
I gotta handle you just right
You know what I mean
I took you to an intimate restaurant
Then to a suggestive movie
There's nothing left to talk about
Unless it's horizontally

Let's get physical, physical
I wanna get physical
Let's get into physical
Let me hear your body talk, your body talk
Let me hear your body talk

I've been patient, I've been good
Tried to keep my hands on the table
It's gettin' hard this holdin' back
If you know what I mean

I'm sure you'll understand my point of view
We know each other mentally
You gotta know that you're bringin' out
The animal in me

Let's get physical, physical
I wanna get physical
Let's get into physical
Let me hear your body talk, your body talk
Let me hear your body talk

Let's get physical, physical
I wanna get physical
Let's get into physical
Let me hear your body talk, your body talk
Let me hear your body talk

Let's get physical, physical
I wanna get physical
Let's get into physical
Let me hear your body talk, your body talk
Let me hear your body talk

Let's get animal, animal
I wanna get animal
Let's get into animal
Let me hear your body talk
Let me hear your body talk

38. All week long I have had chilli con carne and sparkling champagne

running through my mind (and I'm a vegetarian teetotaller too). Not to mention you, me, oysters under the sea, and I'm sure there was a dove and a lark in there somewhere too... ;)

[In_The_Wind]

60. let there be love

Let there be you, let there be me
Let there be oysters, under the sea.....
Let there be wind, an occasional rain...
Chilli con carne, sparkling champagne.
Let there be birds, to sing in the trees
Someone to bless me, whenever I sneeze,
Let there be cuckoos, a lark and a dove....
But first of all please -- let there be love!

[Taverner]

39. OK - hate me now....

And they called it puppy love
Oh i guess they'll never know
how a young heart really feels
and just why i love her so
and they called it puppy love
just because we're in our teens
tell them all
please tell them it isn't fair
to take away my only dream
i cry each night
my tears for you
my tears are all in vain
i hope and i pray
that maybe someday
you'll be back (you'll be back) in my arms(in my arms)
once again
someone help me
help me
help me please
is the answer up above?
how can i
oh how can i tell them
this is not a puppy love
someone help me
help me
help me please
is the answer up above?
how can i
oh how can i tell them
this is not a puppy love
(this is not a puppy love)
(this is not a puppy love)
not a puppy love
(this is not a puppy love

40. HHHEEEEEEY YOOOOUUU GUYYYYYS!

This was shuffled into my ipod the other day, and when I heard it I almost cried. I don't think that I have heard this since I was a kid. The words have a whole new meaning to me now as an adult. I love it! Now it won't leave my head.



Rita Moreno: Hey You Guys!
The Short Circus:

Moving out in a new way

Moving out in a new way

We're gonna turn it on

We're gonna bring you the power

We're gonna light up the dark of night

Like the brightest day in a whole new way

We're gonna turn it on

We're gonna bring you the power

We're gonna tell you the truest word that you ever heard anybody say

Moving out in a new way

Moving out in a new way

We're gonna turn it on

We're gonna bring you the power

We're coming down on the line strong as we can be

42. Show Me Mary by Catherine Wheel

Mary sticks her tongue out, it's a sign
Two fingers is a magical state
And she promised me she'd show me why
I don't think I can wait

Hey, hey, hey, hey, show me Mary
How does it go? Show me Mary
Show me Mary

This flower is a living cusp, but how it kills
Infectious beyond all that's fair
And if I succumbed while standing here
Would you really care?

How does it work? Show me Mary
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, show me Mary
Show me Mary

Mary took a dive when it suited her most
No surprise you are sucked you construct for yourself
Or are you really someone else?
Breezing through somebody's hell
Purifying as you go

No, no, no, no, show me Mary
Where have you been? Show me Mary
Show me Mary
Show me Mary
Show me Mary
Show me Mary
Show me Mary
Show me Mary

67. What Good Can Drinkin' Do by Janis Joplin

What good can drinkin' do, what good can drinkin' do?
Lord, I drink all night but the next day I still feel blue.


There's a glass on the table, they say it's gonna ease all my pain,
And there's a glass on the table, they say it's gonna ease all my pain.
But I drink it down, an' the next day I feel the same.


Gimme whiskey, gimme bourbon, give me gin.
Oh, gimme whiskey, give me bourbon, gimme gin.
'Cause it don't matter what I'm drinkin', Lord, as long as it drown this sorrow I'm in.


I start drinking Friday, I start drinking Friday night.
Lord, I start drinking Friday, start drinking Friday night.
But then I wake up on Sunday, child, there ain't nothin' that's right.


My man he left me, child, he left me here.
Yeah, my good man left me, went away and left me here.
Lord, I'm feelin' lowdown, just give me another glass of beer.


What good can drinkin' do, what good can drinkin' do?
Well, I drink all night but the next day I still feel blue!!!

62. Gimme a pigfoot

Up in Harlem every Saturday night
Where the highbrows get together
It's just too right
They all congregate and all night hop
And what they do is Ooh boppa dap
Ole Hanna Brown from way across town
Gets full of corn and starts
Bringing them down
And at the break of day
You can hear ole Hanna say
Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer
Send me a gate I don't care
feel just like I wanna clown
Give the piano player a drink
Because he's bringing me down
He's got rhythm yeah, when he stamps his feet
He sends me right off to sleep
Cheek all your razors and all your guns
We're gonna be arrested when the wagon comes
Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer
Send me cause I don't care
I want a pigfoot and a bottle of gin
Send me daddy move right in
I feel just like I wanna shout
Give the piano player a drink
Because he's knocking me out
He's got rhythm when he stamps his feet
He moves me right off to sleep
Check all your razors and your guns

Do the hueklebuck until the rising sun
Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of gin
Move me, 'cause I'm in my sin
Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer

64. Mystery of Love

She can soar like a dove -- She's the mystery of love.
She's got mastery, perfect human qualities.
Can you hear her call, benevolent to all.
Look at the majesty in her eyes, the window of her soul.
Oh how you sacrifice for all -- mystery of love.
Humility, tenderness so sweet.
Wish that I could be the dust beneath her feet.
Do you realize the compassion in her eyes?
It's the essence of good that her whole life glorifies.
Look at the loftiness of the dove, the joyfulness she brings.
I would do anything for you -- mystery of love.
The mystery of sacrifice is that there is no sacrifice.
Oblivious to fire and ice, make the world a paradise.
Light of unity, brings the joy of harmony.
Let it come to me -- oh mystery of love.
You're a priceless gem of mysterious force.
You're irreplaceable -- mystery of love.



YOU are irreplaceable Khash ~ ~ hang in there my friend!

[khashka]

65. If we are praising women today... here's one

Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn’t you love to love her
Takes to the sky like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover
All your life you’ve never seen a woman
Taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven
Will you ever win
She is like a cat in the dark
And then she is the darkness
She rules her life like a fine skylark
And when the sky is starless
All your life you’ve never seen a woman
Taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven
Will you ever win
Will you ever win
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
She rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn’t you love to love her
She rules her life like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover
All your life you’ve never seen a woman
Taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven
Will you ever win
Will you ever win
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
Oooooh
Taken by
Taken by the sky
Taken by
Taken by the sky
Taken by
Taken by the sky
Dreams unwind
Loves a state of mind
Dreams unwind
Loves a state of mind

Khash.

66. I love that one as much as this

Edge of seventeen

Just like the white winged dove...
Sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
Whoo... whoo... whoo...
Just like the white winged dove...
Sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
Ooo baby... ooo... said ooo

And the days go by...
Like a strand in the wind...
In the web that is my own...
I begin again
Said to my friend, baby...
Nothin' else mattered

He was no more... than a baby then
Well he... seemed broken hearted...
Something within him
But the moment... that I first laid...
Eyes... on... him... all alone...
On the edge of... seventeen

Just like the white winged dove...
Sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
ooo baby... ooo... said ooo...
Just like the white winged dove...
Sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
Said Ooo baby... ooo... said ooo

Well I went today... maybe I will go again...
Tomorrow
Yea yea well the music there well it was hauntingly...
Familiar
Well I see you doing...
What I try to do for me
With the words from a poet...
And a voice from a choir
And a melody... nothing else mattered

Just like the white winged dove...
Sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
ooo baby... ooo... said ooo
Just like the white winged dove...
Sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
Ooo baby... ooo... said ooo

The clouds... never expect it...
When it rains
But the sea changes color...
But the sea...
Does not change
And so... with the slow... graceful flow...
Of age
I went forth... with an age old...
Desire... to please
On the edge of... seventeen

Oooooooooaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh.

Just like the white winged dove...
Sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
Ooo baby... ooo... said ooo
Just like the white winged dove...
Sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
Ooo baby... ooo... said ooo

Well then suddenly...
There was no one... left standing
In the hall... yeah yeah...
In a flood of tears
That no one really ever heard fall at all
Well I went searchin' for an answer...
Up the stairs... and down the hall
Not to find an answer...
Just to hear the call
Of a nightbird... singing...
Come away...

Just like the white winged dove...
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singing...
Ooo... baby ooo... said ooo
Just like the white winged dove...
Sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
Ooo... baby ooo... said ooo

Well I hear you in the morning...
And I hear you...
At nightfall...
Sometimes to be near you...
Is to be unable... to hear you...
My love...
I'm a few years older than you...
My love

Just like the white winged dove...
Sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
Ooo baby... ooo... said ooo
