From the original thread:
The song lyrics thread has made me think that you guys might enjoy a game I've been playing on another board. Link the Lyrics is played with a series of excerpts from song lyric(s); the object is to post lyrics which duplicate a word or phrase included in the immediately preceding post.

So - if I posted the lyrics from You're Having My Baby [bushasuru emoticon], someone could follow with the lyrics from Baby, Baby, Don't Get Hooked on Me [bushasuru-again e]. In posting lyrics, please ~

~ confine the lyrics to four lines or less, unless the song is out of copyright
~ boldface the linking word or phrase
~ identify the title of the song, and
~ identify the composer or first performer of the song

OK. Here we go.

I walked 47 miles on barbed-wire,
Got a cobra-snake for a necktie.
I built a house by the roadside,
Made of rattlesnake hide.
Got a brand new chimney up on top,
Made out of human skulls.
Come on baby take a walk with me,
And tell me who do you love?

I got the car
I got the rug
And I got the rack
But I ain't got Jack
And I want my Jack back!

You looked for trouble and you found it son
Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun
You'd try to run but you don't think you can
You make one move and you're dead man, friend
I ain't living long like this
I can't live at all like this, can I baby

Chain, chain, chain, chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain, chain of fools
Five long years I thought you were my man
But I found out I'm just a link in your chain
You got me where you want me
I ain't nothing but your fool
You treated me mean oh you treated me cruel
Chain, chain, chain, chain of fools

Chain of Fools

CHAIN GANG

(Hooh! aah! hooh!)
I hear somethin' sayin'

(hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!)
(hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!)

(Well, don't you know)
That's the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

All day long they're singin'

(hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!)

(Well, don't you know)
That's the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

All day long they work so hard
Till the sun is goin' down
Working on the highways and byways
And wearing, wearing a frown
You hear them moanin' their lives away
Then you hear somebody sa-ay

That's the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

Can't ya hear them singin'
Mm, I'm goin' home one of these days
I'm goin' home see my woman
Whom I love so dear
But meanwhile I got to work right he-ere

(Well, don't you know)
That's the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

All day long they're singin', mm
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard
Give me water, I'm thirsty

FADE
My work is so hard

Burns: Some men hunt for sport,
Others hunt for food,
The only thing I'm hunting for,
Is an outfit that looks good...

See my vest, see my vest,
Made from real gorilla chest,
Feel this sweater, there's no better,
Than authentic Irish setter.

See this hat, 'twas my cat,
My evening wear - vampire bat,
These white slippers are albino
African endangered rhino.

Grizzly bear underwear,
Turtles' necks, I've got my share,
Beret of poodle, on my noodle
It shall rest,

Try my red robin suit,
It comes one breast or two,
See my vest, see my vest,
See my vest.

Like my loafers? Former gophers -
It was that or skin my chauffeurs,
But a greyhound fur tuxedo
Would be best,

So let's prepare these dogs,
Kill two for matching clogs,
See my vest, see my vest,
Oh please, won't you see my vest.

Unchained Melody


Oh, my love, my darling,
I've hungered for your touch
a long, lonely time . . .

Time goes by so slowly
and time can do so much.
Are you still mine?

I need your love,
I need your love,
God speed your love to me.

Lonely rivers flow
to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea

Lonely rivers sigh,
"Wait for me, wait for me"
"I'll be comin' home, wait for me!"

Oh, my love, my darling,
I've hungered for your touch

Time goes by so slowly

Are you still mine?

I was walking down the High Street
When I heard footsteps behind me
And there was a little old man (Hello)
In scarlet and grey, shuffling away (laughter)
Well he trotted back to my house
And he sat beside the telly (Oaah..)
With his tiny hands on his tummy
Chuckling away, laughing all day (laughter)

Oh, I ought to report you to the Gnome office
(Gnome Office)
Yes
(Hahahahaha)

CHORUS
Ha ha ha, hee hee hee
"I'm a laughing Gnome and you can't catch me"
Ha ha ha, hee hee hee
"I'm a laughing Gnome and you can't catch me"
Said the laughing Gnome

Well I gave him roasted toadstools and a glass of dandelion wine (Burp, pardon)
Then I put him on a train to Eastbourne
Carried his bag and gave him a fag
(Haven't you got a light boy?)
"Here, where do you come from?"
(Gnome-man's land, hahihihi)
"Oh, really?"

In the morning when I woke up
He was sitting on the edge of my bed
With his brother whose name was Fred
He'd bought him along to sing me a song

Right, let's hear it
Here, what's that clicking noise?
(That's Fred, he's a "metrognome", haha)

Ha ha ha, hee hee hee
"I'm a laughing Gnome and you don't catch me"
Ha ha ha, hee hee hee
"I'm a laughing Gnome and you can't catch me"

(Own up, I'm a gnome, ain't I right, haha)
"Haven't you got an 'ome to go to?"
(No, we're gnomads)
"Didn't they teach you to get your hair cut at school?
you look like a rolling gnome."
(No, not at the London School of Ecognomics)

Now they're staying up the chimney
And we're living on caviar and honey (hooray!)
Cause they're earning me lots of money
Writing comedy prose for radio shows
It's the-er (what?)
It's the Gnome service of course

Ha ha ha, hee hee hee
"I'm a laughing Gnome and you don't catch me"
Ha ha ha, oh, dear me

(Ha ha ha, hee hee hee
"I'm a laughing Gnome and you can't catch me"
Ha ha ha, hee hee hee
"I'm a laughing Gnome and you can't catch me")

I'll see your Poison and raise you a Hanson...

You have so many relationships in this life
Only one or two will last
You're going through all this pain and strife
Then you turn your back and they're gone so fast
And they're gone so fast
So hold on the ones who really care
In the end they'll be the only ones there
When you get old and start losing your hair
Can you tell me who will still care
Can you tell me who will still care

Mmm bop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du

Mmm bop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, Ba du dop
Ba du bop, Ba du dop

In an mmm bop, they're gone
Plant a seed, plant a flower, plant a rose
You can plant any one of those
Keep planting to find out which one grows
It's a secret no one knows
It's a secret no one knows

Repeat chorus until nauseated.

There are locks on the doors
And chains stretched across all the entries to the inside
There's a gate and a fence
And bars to protect from only God knows what lurks outside
Who stole your heart left you with a space
That no one and nothing can fill
Who stole your heart who took it away
Knowing that without it you can't live
Who took away the part so essential to the whole
Left you a hollow body
Skin and bone
What robber what thief who stole your heart and the key

Who stole your heart
The smile from your face
The innocence the light from your eyes
Who stole your heart or did you give it away
And if so then when and why
Who took away the part so essential to the whole
Left you a hollow body
Skin and bone
What robber what thief
Who stole your heart and the key

Now all sentiment is gone
Now you have no trust in no one

Who stole your heart
Did you know but forget the method and moment in time
Was it a trickster using mirrors and sleight of hand
A strong elixir or a potion that you drank
Who hurt your heart
Bruised it in a place
That no one and nothing can heal

You've gone to wizards, princes and magic men
You've gone to witches, the good the bad the indifferent
But still all sentiment is gone
But still you have no trust in no one

If you can tear down the walls
Throw your armor away remove all roadblocks barricades
If you can forget there are bandits and dragons to slay
And don't forget that you defend an empty space
And remember the tinman
Found he had what he thought he lacked
Remember the tinman
Go find your hear and take it back

Who stole your heart
Maybe no one can say
One day you will find it I pray

Remember The Tinman - Tracy Chapman

Unchain my heart, cause you don't care about me
Why must I live in misery
When it's plain to see that you don't care about me
So unchain my heart Baby, set me free.

I'm under your spell, like a man in a trance
And you know darn well, that I don't have a chance
So unchain my heart, Baby set me free.

The Witch-Queen of New Orleans

by Redbone

The Witch-Queen of New Orleans
Marie, Marie La 'Voodoo' Veau - she'll put a spell on you
Marie, Marie La 'Voodoo' Veau - she'll put a spell on you
Marie, Marie La 'Voodoo' Veau
She's the witch-queen, ah, of New Orleans, of New Orleans

I'm gonna tell you a story strange as it now seems
Of zombie voodoo gris gris and the witch-queen of New Orleans
She lived in a world of magic possessed by the devil's queue
From a shack near the swamp lands made of mud by brick
Marie stirred her witches brew

Marie, Marie La 'Voodoo' Veau - she'll put a spell on you
Marie, Marie La 'Voodoo' Veau - she'll put a spell on you
Marie, Marie La 'Voodoo' Veau
She's the witch-queen, ah, of New Orleans, of New Orleans

Dime or a nickel, anyone could buy voodoo of any kind
She had potions and lotions, herbs and tanna leaves
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Early one mornin' into mucky swamp dew
Vanished Marie with hate in her eyes
Tho' she'll never return all the Cajuns knew
A witch-queen never dies

Marie, Marie La 'Voodoo' Veau - she'll put a spell on you
Marie, Marie La 'Voodoo' Veau - she'll put a spell on you
Marie, Marie La 'Voodoo' Veau
She's the witch-queen, ah, of New Orleans, of New Orleans

She walks everyday through the streets of New Orleans
She's innocent and young from a family of means
I have stood many times outside her window at night
To struggle with my instinct in the pale moon light
How could I be this way when I pray to God above
I must love what I destroy and destroy the thing I love
Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there's a moon over Bourbon Street

Cold ground was my bed last night, rocks was my pillow too
Cold ground was my bed last night, rocks was my pillow too

But don't let your woman, fix you like mine fixed me
Don't let your woman, boy, fix you like mine fixed me
She make a fool about her, about as a fool can be

Now, can't a woman act funny, heheheheh, when she got another man
Can't a woman act funny, when she got another man
You know she won't look straight at you, and she's always raisin' sand.

Imagination

Imagination is funny
It makes a cloudy day sunny
It makes a bee think of honey
Just like I think of you
Imagination is crazy
Your whole perspective gets hazy
It starts you asking a daisy what to do
What to do
Have you ever felt a gentle touch
And then a kiss, then and then
You find it's only your imagination again
Oh well
Imagination is silly
You go around willy-nilly
For example I go around wanting you
Yet I can't imagine that you want me too

There's all kinds of music
Everywhere you go
Some folks like it fast
Some folks like it slow
Some folks like it hot
Some folks like it blue
Some folks like it old
Some folks like it new

Now I'm not knocking country
And I'm not rappin' rap
Big Band swing just ain't my thing
Alternative ain't my snap

The only thing that turns me on
Is when I hear a soulful song

Soul with a capitol "S"
Soul with a capitol "S"
Sweet soul music that's the best
Soul with a capitol "S"

Music makes you happy
Or it can make you sad
It can turn the worst day
To the best you've ever had
For entertainment value
If I had to choose
You and me might disagree
'Cause I like Rhythm and Blues

Now I'm not dissin' disco
Not sayin' punk is bunk
I can't settle for heavy metal
'Cause I've gotta have that funk


Soul with a capitol "S"
Soul with a capitol "S"
Sweet soul music that's the best
Soul with a capitol "S"

There are places I'll remember,
all my life though some have changed.
Some forever not for better,
some have gone and some remain.
All these places have their moments,
with lovers and friends I still can recall.
Some are dead and some are living,
in my life I've loved them all.

But of all these friends and lovers,
there is no one compares with you,
and these memories lose their meaning,
when I think of love as something new.
Though I know I'll never lose affection,
for people and things that went before.
I know I'll often stop and think about them,
in my life I love you more.

Though I know I'll never lose affection,
for people and things that went before.
I know I'll often stop and think about them,
in my life I love you more.

In my life I love you more.

“Speak to me gently before we begin,” she pleads, but they laugh and pull her down;
And after they’ve used her, briefly and roughly, they leave her to face the dawn alone.
When they have gone she moves on her side, thinks of the men that with her have laid –
And none of them gave her a kind word of loving, and after they’d done, not one of them stayed.

Once she was wary, chose but a few to roll in her arms at the end of the day,
But the flowers of love begins now to wither, and many may pluck at the petals so gay
Alone in the night she muses awhile, and thinks of the days and how they will pass ~
She cries for the lonely years that are waiting, ‘til death takes her hand and waits her reply.

Down in the barroom she moves among men who watch her and touch her whenever they can;
And she notices hands, and mouths as they drink, and over their tankards the eyes of each man…

Speak to me gently before we begin


She Moves Among Men (The Barmaid’s Song)
(Caddick) sung by June Tabor

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

John Lennon

I feel that I should say "Mornington Crescent" now (British radio joke) - I can't believe that we have gone all this time without Imagine! If we haven't then let me know and I'll have to find something else.

ONE


Singular sensation
Ev'ry little step she takes.
One thrilling combination
Ev'ry move that she makes.
One smile and suddenly nobody else will do.
You know you'll never be lonely with you know who.

One moment in her presence
And you can forget the rest.
For the girl is second best to none, son.
Ooh! Sigh!
Give her your attention.
Do I
Really have to mention
She's the one?

Heart Of My Heart", I love that melody
"Heart Of My Heart" brings back a memory

When we were kids on the corner of the street
We were rough 'n ready guys
But oh, how we could harmonize

"Heart Of My Heart" meant friends were dearer then
Too bad we had to part
I know a tear would glisten
If once more I could listen
To that gang that sang "Heart Of My Heart"


C'mon now, all you Awaders and every other kind of waders out there,
everybody sing! a-one a-two a-three...


"Heart Of My Heart", I love that melody...

I can't hear you: "HEART OF MY HEART BRING BACK A MEMORY...

Now that's much, much, better: WHEN WE WERE KIDS...

My theme song :

A PIRATE LOOKS AT FORTY

by Jimmy Buffet

Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
I've wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all

Watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam
And in your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen
Most of 'em dreams, most of 'em dreams

Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late
If the cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late

I've done a bit of smugglin', I've run my share of grass
You see, I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast
Never meant to last, never meant to last

Oh I have been drunk now for over two weeks
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks
But I got to stop wishin', got to go fishin'
Down to rock bottom again
Just a few friends, just a few friends

(instrumental)

I go for younger women, lived with several awhile
Though I ran 'em away, they'd come back one day
Still could manage to smile
Just takes a while, just takes a while

Mother, mother ocean, after all the years I've found
My occupational hazard being my occupation's just not around
Feels like I've drowned, but I won't wear a frown

Coda:
Feels like I've drowned, gonna head uptown

© 1972 by Jimmy Buffet

here's another pirate song:

At age 19 I was kidnapped by Turkish pirates - Mediterranean thugs
After some torture they considered me their mascot - a Cypriotic good luck
I had the taste of death and many other things
I had to pay the piper with my wedding ring
I would never see my family again.

By 25 I was respected as an equal - my art was a knife
On countless raids I was the first one up the lanyard
Yeah, I was seeking a fight
There is no time to pray, there's no time to beg
And then it's off with an arm or it's off with a leg
And if I spare your life, it's because the tide is leavin'.

By 31 I was the captain of a galleon - I was Poseidon's new son
The coast of ??? was my favourite target - Ah, it was ever such fun
We had no wooden legs or steel hooks
We had no black eyepatches or a starving cook
We were just killers with the cold eyes of a sailor.

Performed by: Pinocchio (Dickie Jones)
Music: Leigh Harline
Lyrics: Ned Washington


[Pinocchio:]
I've got no strings
To hold me down
To make me fret, or make me frown
I had strings
But now I'm free
There are no strings on me

Hi-ho the me-ri-o
That's the only way to go
I want the world to know
Nothing ever worries me

* One sheet music version prints the bridge as this stanza:*

Hi-ho the me-ri-o
I'm as happy as can be
I want the world to know
Nothing ever worries me

I've got no strings
So I have fun
I'm not tied up to anyone
They've got strings
But you can see
There are no strings on me

[Dutch puppet:]
You have no strings
Your arms is free
To love me by the Zuider Zee
Ya, ya, ya
If you would woo
I'd bust my strings for you

[French puppet:]
You've got no strings
Comme ci comme ca
Your savoire-faire is ooh la la!
I've got strings
But entre nous
I'd cut my strings for you!

[Russian puppet:]

Down where the Volga flows
There's a Russian rendezvous
Where me and Ivan go
But I'd rather go with you, hey!

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand

A small Jean Genie snuck off to the city
Strung out on lasers and slash back blazers
Ate all your razors while pulling the waiters
Talking bout Monroe and walking on Snow White
New York's a go-go and everything tastes right
Poor little Greenie

CHORUS
The Jean Genie lives on his back
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks
He's outrageous, he screams and he bawls
Jean Genie let yourself go!

Wake up you sleepy head
Put on some clothes, shake up your bed
Put another log on the fire for me
I've made some breakfast and coffee
Look out my window and what do I see
A crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to me
All the nightmares came today
And it looks as though they're here to stay

What are we coming to
No room for me, no fun for you
I think about a world to come
Where the books were found by the Golden ones
Written in pain, written in awe
By a puzzled man who questioned
What we were here for
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though they're here to stay

Oh You Pretty Things
Don't you know you're driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Oh You Pretty Things
Don't you know you're driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Let me make it plain
You gotta make way for the Homo Superior

Look at your children
See their faces in golden rays
Don't kid yourself they belong to you
They're the start of a coming race
The earth is a bitch
We've finished our news
Homo Sapiens have outgrown their use
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though they're here to stay

Oh You Pretty Things
Don't you know you're driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Oh You Pretty Things
Don't you know you're driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Let me make it plain
You gotta make way for the Homo Superior

SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES
The Drifters
(writers Mann, Weil; 1964)

Well Saturday night at 8 o'clock
I know where I'm gonna go
I'm gonna pick my baby up
And take her to the picture show

Everybody in the neighbourhood
Is dressing up to be there too
And we're gonna have a ball
Just like we always do

Chorus:
Saturday night at the movies
Who cares what picture you see
When you're hugging with your baby in last row in the balcony

Well there's technicolor and cinemascope
A cast out of Hollywood
And the popcorn from the candy stand
Makes it all seem twice as good

There's always lots of pretty girls
With figures they don't try to hide
But they never can compare
To the girl sittin' by my side

Saturday Night (Is the Loneliest Night of the Week)

Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
'Cause that's the night that my sweetie and I
Used to dance cheek to cheek
I don't mind Sunday night at all
'Cause that's the night friends come to call
And Monday to Friday go fast
And another week is past

But Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
I sing the song that I sang for the memories I usually seek
Until I hear you at the door
Until you're in my arms once more
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week

mmmm... Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
I sing the song that I sang for the memories I usually seek
Until I hear you at the door
Until you're in my arms once more
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week

Until I hear you at the door
Until you're in my arms once more
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week

Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)


Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Available on the album Goodbye Yellow Brick Road



It's getting late have you seen my mates
Ma tell me when the boys get here
It's seven o'clock and I want to rock
Want to get a belly full of beer

My old man's drunker than a barrel full of monkeys
And my old lady she don't care
My sister looks cute in her braces and boots
A handful of grease in her hair

Don't give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Saturday night's alright for fighting
Get a little action in

Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this dance alight
`Cause Saturday night's the night I like
Saturday night's alright alright alright

Well they're packed pretty tight in here tonight
I'm looking for a dolly who'll see me right
I may use a little muscle to get what I need
I may sink a little drink and shout out "She's with me!"

A couple of the sound that I really like
Are the sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike
I'm a juvenile product of the working class
Whose best friend floats in the bottom of a glass

It's Saturday night, all the kids are going down
Put on your bright suit, Billy, head for the right side of town
It's only eight o'clock but you're already bored
You don't know what it is, but there's gotta be more
You better find a way out
Hey! kick down the door
It's a rat-trap, and you've been caught!

There are three new movies op'ning tonight,
A baseball game, a championship fight,
A big band concert under the stars,
And a rodeo, Midget racing cars,
For some gals and gents the above events
hold their own vicarious charms,
But I'd rather go to a place I know,
Where I can hold you in my arms!

Chorus:

Hey there cutes, put on your dancin' boots and come dance with me,
Come dance with me, what an evening for some terpsichore.
Pretty face, I know a swingin' place, so come dance with me,
Romance with me on a crowded floor.

And while the rhythm swings, what lovely things I'll be sayin',
For what is dancing but making love set to music, playin'.

When the band begin to leave the stand and folks start to roam,
As we wing home, cheek to cheek we'll be,
Come on, come on, come on, come on and dance with me

[Repeat, but instead substitute the following words line 1:
dancin/Basie, line 5: lovely/cuckoo, line 8: wing/waltz and the first
3 "come on"'s in the last line are repeated.]

Shall We Dance?
Lyrics: Ira Gershwin Music: George Gershwin

Drop that long face
Come on have your fling
Why keep nursing the blues?
If you want this old world on a string
Put on your dancing shoes
Stop wasting time
Put on your dancing shoes
Watch your spirits climb

Shall we dance
Or keep on mopin'?
Shall we dance
And walk on air?
Shall we give in to despair?
Or shall we dance with never a care?
Life is short
We're growing older
Don't you be an also-ran
You'd better dance, little lady
Dance, little man
Dance whenever you can.


Posted By: Fiberbabe Re: dancing shoes > dancing - 05/17/02 02:43 PM
This is nice, isn't it? I mean - the music.
This is nice, isn't it? I mean - the band.
Don't you think we make natural partners?
I mean, like food and drink, or supply and demand.

We're so right, aren't we? I mean - for dancing.
Hold me tight, cling to me! I mean - my hand.
I feel fine, I'm aglow with the Sunday shine
Could I be falling in - I mean to say, well anyway...
Isn't it grand?

Isn't It? - Stephen Sondheim

Drink to me only with thine eyes
And I will pledge with mine.
Or leave a kiss within the cup
And I'll not ask for wine.
The thirst that from the soul doth rise
Doth ask a drink divine;
But might I of Jove's nectar sip,
I would not change for thine.

I sent thee late a rosy wreath,
Not so much hon'ring thee
As giving it a hope that there
It could not withered be;
But thou thereon did'st only breathe,
And sent'st it back to me,
Since when it grows and smells, I swear
Not of itself, but thee.

well, if it old songs..

Believe me if all those
Endearing young charms
Which I gaze on so fondly today
Were to change by tomorrow
And fleet in my arms,
Like fairy gifts fading away
Though would'st still be adored
As this moment thou art
Let thy loveliness fade as it will
And around the dear ruin
Each wish of my heart
Would entwine itself
Verdantly still.

It is not while beauty
And youth are thine own
And thy cheeks
Unprofaned by a tear
That the ferver and faith
Of a soul can be known
To which time will but
Make thee more dear
No the heart that has truly loved
Never forgets
But as truly loves
On to the close
As the sunflower turns
On her god when he sets
The same look which
She'd turned when he rose.


Posted By: Wordwind Re: Change>heart et al - 05/17/02 08:08 PM
Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
I want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day I love more and more
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sing
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time


Come what may
Come what may
I will love you
Until my dying day


Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you
And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather
And stars may collide
But I love you until the end of time


Oh, come what may, come what may
I will love you, I will love you
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

What do you get when you fall in love ?
You only get a lot of pain and sorrow;
And so - at least until tomorrow - I'll
Never fall in love again.

Don't interrupt the sorrow
Darn right
He says "We walked on the moon
You be polite."
Don't let up the sorrow
Death and birth and death and birth
He says "Bring that bottle kindly
And I'll pad your purse-
I've got a head full of quandary
And a mighty, mighty, thirst."

GIVE ME THAT WINE by Jon Hendricks

Well my wife got tired of me running around
So she tried to keep me at home
You know she bust my nose and hid my clothes
But I continued to roam
Until she finally hit my weakspot, threatened to throw my bottle out
From the basement to the rooftop everybody could hear me shout

Gimme that wine
Gimme that wine
Gimme that wine
You know I can't cut lose without my juice

Well one day when I was walking home to bed
A bandit jumped from the shadows, put a blackjack aside my head
That cat took my watch, my ring, my money and I did'nt make a sound
But when he reached in for my bottle Jim you could hear for blocks around

Gimme that wine
Gimme that wine
Gimme that wine
Beat my head out of shape but leave my grape

Well one day when I was laying down awful napping
When I woke up everything was burning
With a snap, and a crackle and a pop
You know the fireman chopped up my TV set and tore my apartment apart
But when he raised his axe on my bottle Jim I screamed with all my heart

Gimme that wine
Gimme that wine
Gimme that wine
Let me take one toast before I roast

Well one day when I was crossing the avenue
A big car knocked me down
When I was laying out down in the traffic
The crowd came from blocks around
You know the policeman were searchin' my pockets
Before they took me to the funeral parlour
When he reached in for my bottle Jim
I jumped straight up and commenced to holler

Gimme that wine
Gimme that wine
Gimme that wine
You know I can't get well without Muscatell

You know you can take all them Hollywood glamour girls
Rita Haywood, Bridgette Bardot, Lana Turner
Put them on a wall, put a gigantic book beside them
And tell me to take my choice
Well there be no doubt about the one I chose the minute I raise my voice

Gimme that wine
Gimme that wine
Gimme that wine
Well them chicks look fine but I love my wine

Now some folks like money, some like to dance and dine
But I be happy if you give me that wine
Can I have that bottle baby
Muscatell or half and half

We're a couple of swells
We stop at the best hotels
But we prefer the country far away from the city smells

We're a couple of sports
The pride of the tennis courts
In June, July and August we look cute when we're dressed in shorts

The Vanderbilts have asked us up for tea
We don't know how to get there, no sirree
No sirree...
We would ride up the avenue
but we haven't got the price
We would skate up the avenue
but there isn't any ice
We would ride on a bicycle
but we haven't got a bike
So we'll walk up the avenue
Yes we'll walk up the avenue
and to walk up the avenue's what we like

Wall Street bankers are we
With plenty of currency
We'd open up the safe but we forgot where we put the key

We're the favourite lads
Of girls in the picture ads
We'd like to tell who we kissed last night but we can't be cads

The Vanderbilts are waiting at the club
But how are we to get there, that's the rub
That's the rub...
We would sail up the avenue
but we haven't got a yacht
We would ride up the avenue
but the horse we had was shot
We would go on a trolleycar
but we haven't got the fare
So we'll walk up the avenue
Yes we'll walk up the avenue
And we'll walk up the avenue till we're there

[bridge]

We would swim up the avenue
but we haven't any lake
So we'll walk up the avenue
Yes we'll walk up the avenue
Yes a walk up the avenue's what we'll take!

Put him on the table with his feet turned up
Ain't it crazy, ain't it crazy
Ain't it crazy one day, to keep on rubbin' that thing

There was two old maids, layin' in the sand
Each one wonderin' if the other was a man
Ain't it crazy, ain't it crazy
Ain't it crazy one day, to keep on rubbin' at that thing

Crazy ... I'm crazy for feelin' so lonely
I'm crazy ... crazy for feelin' so blue
I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted,
And then someday, you'd leave me for somebody new

Worry ... why do I let myself worry?
Wonderin' ... what in the world did I do?
Oh, crazy ... for thinkin' that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for tryin', and crazy for cryin'
And I'm crazy for lovin' you

Crazy ... for thinkin' that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for tryin', and crazy for cryin'
And I'm crazy for lovin' you

Any w'on would have to be CRazY to follow the inimitable Patsy Cline, but I will...

I got a little girl she's my - Crazy Baby
The cutest in the world, she's my - Crazy Baby
I asked her for a date, she said, Crazy Baby
I said let's go make romance, ain't it - Crazy Baby

Everything is crazy when I'm with my Baby
Yes she's all I need
When I'm with my Baby everything is crazy
Yes indeed she's just my speed

I said how you like my car, she said Crazy Baby
Shining like a star ain't it Crazy Baby
I said Let's go to a dance, she said Crazy Baby
She put me in a trance she's my Crazy Baby

CRAZY BABY

The one time I saw my daddy dance
Watched him moving like a man in a trance
He brought it back from the war in France
Down on Copperline

Copperhead, Copper Beach,
Copper kettles sitting side by each
Copper core of a Georgia peach,
Down on Copperline

Copperline, James Taylor

Well my name's John Lee Pettimore
Same as my daddy and his daddy before
You hardly ever saw Grandaddy down here
He only came to town about twice a year
He'd buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line
Everybody knew that he made moonshine
Now the revenue man wanted Grandaddy bad
He headed up the holler with everything he had
It's before my time but I've been told
He never came back from Copperhead Road


Steve Earle, Copperhead Road

In this world, if you read the papers, Lord,
You know everybody’s fighting on with each other.
You got no one you can count on, baby,
Not even your own brother.
So if someone comes along,
He’s gonna give you some love and affection
I’d say get it while you can, yeah!
Honey, get it while you can,
Hey, hey, get it while you can,
Don’t you turn your back on love, no, no!

Don’t you know when you’re loving anybody, baby,
You’re taking a gamble on a little sorrow,
But then who cares, baby,
‘Cause we may not be here tomorrow, no.
And if anybody should come along,
He gonna give you any love and affection,
I’d say get it while you can, yeah!
Hey, hey, get it while you can,
Hey, hey, get it while you can.
Don’t you turn your back on love,
No no no, no no no no no.

Oh, get it while you can,
Honey get it when you’re gonna wanna need it dear, yeah yeah,
Hey hey, get it while you can,
Don’t you turn your back on love,
No no no, no no no no, get it while you can,
I said hold on to somebody when you get a little lonely, dear,
Hey hey, hold on to that man’s heart,
Yeah, get it, want it, hold it, need it,
Get it, want it, need it, hold it,
Get it while you can, yeah,
Honey get it while you can, baby, yeah,

I didn't mean to take you up all your sweet time
I'll give it right back to you one of these days
I said, I didn't mean to take you up all your sweet time
I'll give it right back to you one of these days
And if I don't meet you no more in this world
Then I'll, I'll meet you in the next one
And don't be late, don't be late
'Cause I'm a voodoo child
Lord knows I'm a voodoo child
I'm a voodoo child

Do, do, do
What you've done, done, done
Before, Baby.
Do, do, do
What I do, do, do
Adore, Baby.
Let's try again,
Sigh again,
Fly again to heaven.
Baby, see
It's A B C-
I love you and you love me.
I know, know, know
What a beau, beau, beau
Should do, Baby;
So, don't, don't, don't
Say it won't, won't, won't
Come true, Baby.
My heart begins to hum-
Dum de dum de dum-dum-dum,
So do, do, do
What you've done, done, done
Before.

Do, Do, Do~~from Oh, Kay, by George and Ira Gershwin
