Never gonna fall for
Modern love - walks beside me
Modern love - walks on by
Modern love - gets me to the church on time

Not a soul down on the corner,
That's a pretty certain sign,
That wedding bells are breaking up that old gang of mine.
All the boys are singing love songs,
They forgot "Sweet Adeline,"
Those wedding bells are breaking up that old gang of mine.
There goes Jack, there goes Jim,
Down to lover's lane.
Now and then we meet again,
But they don't seem the same.
Gee, I get a lonesome feeling,
When I hear the church bells chime,
Those wedding bells are breaking up that old gang of mine.

Words by Irving Kahal and Willie Raskin
Music by Sammy Fain. (1929)

We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when
But I'm sure we'll meet again some sunny day
Keep smiling through, just the way you used to do
Till the blue skies chase the dark clouds far away

Now, won't you please say "Hello" to the folks that I know
Tell 'em it won't be long
'cause they'd be happy to know that when you saw me go
I was singing this song

We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when
But I'm sure we'll meet again some sunny day


We'll Meet Again

(Notes: This version did not chart but in 1941, Kay Kyser and Guy Lombardo's versions both hit # 24.
In 1942, Benny Goodman stood alone at # 16.
And then in 1954, Vera Lynn brought it back at # 29 and her version was used in the final scene of the 1964 film "Dr. Strangelove Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" directed by Stanley Kubrick. If you saw the film you'll remember the song, a masterpiece of juxtaposition.)

I'd swap my last little toe to hear the Ink Spots' rendition.

Not cash on the nail?


+++++++++++++++++++++


Now is the time to say Goodbye
Now is the time to yield a sigh
(Yield it, yield it, yield that heavy sigh!)
Now is the time to wend our waaaayeeeeee
Until we meet again
Some sunny day.

Goodbye
Goodbye
We're leaving now,
Tattybye
Goodbye
We wish you all goodbye
Fartatata, fartatata...

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough

Come on lets go back
Follow the yellow brick road as we go on another episode
Journey with me as I take you through this nifty little place
I once used to call home sweet home


I roam the streets so much they call me a drifter
Sometimes I stick up a thumb just to hitch hike
Just to get picked up to get me a lift to 8 mile and Van Dyke
And steal a god damn bike from somebody's backyard
And drop it off at the park that was the half way mark
To meet Kim had to walk back to her mama's them dramas after
dark
To sneak me in the house when I'm kicked out my mom's
Thats about the time I first met Proof when poof he'd carry on
the set
Set eyes born in and out some flyers, he was doin some talent
shows
At center line, I had told him to stop by and check this out
sometime
He looked at me like I'm out my mind shook his head like white
boys dont know how to rhyme
I spit out a line and rhymed birthday with first place
And we both had the same rhymes that sound alike
We was on the same shit that Big Daddy Kane shit with compound
syllables sound combined
From that day we was down to ride somehow we knew we'd meet
again somewhere down the line

RIGHT DOWN THE LINE

You know I need your love
You've got that hold over me
Long as I've got your love
You know that I'll never leave
When I wanted you to share my life
I had no doubt in my mind
And it's been you woman
Right down the line

I don't like you
But I love you
Seems that I'm always
Thinking of you
Oh, oh, oh
You treat me badly
I love you madly
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me, baby

You Really Got A Hold On Me~Smokey Robinson

Hold the Line

It's not in the way that you hold me, it's not in the way you say you care
It's not in the way you've been treating my friends
It's not in the way that you stayed till the end
It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do

Hold the line, love isn't always on time, oh oh oh
Hold the line, love isn't always on time, oh oh oh

-- Toto
