Your wonderful parade- Carpenters


only registered users can see external links


Your WONDERFUL parade
Moving thru the towns that rise and then they fade
Over streets that pass the houses where you've stayed
Your wonderful parade
Your daily masquerade
Paper masks behind this face that you have made
Crumble down upon foundation that you've laid
Your daily masquerade
Stand in line try to climb
Meet your wife at cocktail time
Surely you should try and choose a better way to fall
Your marvelous charade
Never could be worth the prices that you've paid
Blindness is a part of every game you've played
Your marvelous charade
Your daily masquerade
Your wonderful parade

Wonderful, wonderful- Johnny Mathis

Sometimes we walk hand in hand by the sea
And we breathe in the cool salty air
You turn to me with a kiss in your eyes
And my heart feels a thrill beyond compare
Then your lips cling to mine
It's wonderful, WONDERFUL
Oh, so wonderful, my love
Sometimes we stand on the top of a hill
And we gaze at the Earth and the sky
I turn to you and you melt in my arms
There we are, darling, only you and I
What a moment to share
It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love
The world is full of wondrous things, it's true
But they wouldn't have much meaning without you
Some quiet evening I sit by your side
And we're lost in a world of our own
I feel the glow of your unspoken love
I'm aware of the treasure that I own
And I say to myself
"It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love"
And I say to myself
"It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love"

Sugar and spice and all things nice
Kisses sweeter than WINE
Sugar and spice and all things nice
You know that little girl is mine
Everybody stops and stares at my baby
When she's walkin' down the street
People passin' by just look at my baby
'Cause my baby looks so sweet
You know she's sugar and spice and all things nice
Kisses sweeter than wine
Sugar and spice and all things nice
You know that little girl is mine
Every time we kiss I get that feelin'
Every time we simply meet
When I see her smile I get that feelin'
'Cause my baby looks so sweet
You know she's sugar and spice and all things nice
Kisses sweeter than wine
Sugar and spice and all things nice
You know that little girl is mine
Never have I known a girl so lovely
Sweet enough to want to eat
Everybody's crazy 'bout my baby
'Cause my baby looks so sweet
You know she's sugar and spice and all things nice
Kisses sweeter than wine
Sugar and spice and all things nice
You know that little girl is mine

Vino dinero Y amor - Elvis

Viva el vino, viva el dinero
Viva, viva
El amor

I like to drink wine, and money is fine
But I like the girls even more
Viva el vino, viva el dinero
Viva viva el amor

Some pesos you pass, put WINE in her glass
And soon she will say, "Sí, señor"
Viva el vino, viva el dinero
Viva viva el amor

With wine on your lips and money in your pocket
And your sweetheart in your arms
You're rich as you can be
So lift up your glass, let's sing it all together
Muchachas, caballero
Make this toast with me

We'll drink one more timeto money and wine
Let's drink to the girls we adore
Viva el vino, viva el dinero
Viva viva el amor

Sing one more time to money and wine
Let's sing to the girls we adore
Viva el vino, viva el dinero
Viva viva el amor

We really do have very similar memories. This was one of the first songs that I thought of, 👍

Word of the day for Friday 22nd May - WINE

A true classic and of course my first thought. Well played.

And I love you so much- Elvis

And I love you so
People ask me how
How I've lived 'til now
I tell them I don't know
I guess they understand
How lonely life has been
But life began again
The day you took my hand
And yes, I know how lonely life can be
When Shadows follow me and the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me
And you love me too
Your thoughts are just for me
You set my SPIRIT free
I'm happy that you do
The book of life is brief
And once the page is read
All but love is dead
This is my belief
Oh, and yes, I know how lonely life can be
When shadows follow me and the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me, now you know
Thank you
Thank you very much

You're my baby and I love you
You can take a pound of love and cook it in the stew
And when you've finished doing that, I know what you'll wanna do
'Cause you're my baby and I love you

I'm your baby, do you love me?
I can drive a Cadillac across the Irish Sea
But when I've finished doing that, I know where I'll wanna be
'Cause I'm your baby, and you love me

SPIRITS of ancient Egypt
Shadows of ancient Rome
Spirits of ancient Egypt
Hung on the telly, hung on the telly
Hung on the telephone

You're my baby, I know you know
You could sell an elevator to Geronimo
And when you've finished doing that, I know where you'll wanna go
'Cause you're my baby, I know you know

Spirits of ancient Egypt
Echoes of sunken Spain
Spirits of ancient Egypt
Hung on the phone a, hung on the phone a
Hung on the phone again

Goin’ home - Elvis


only registered users can see external links


This proud wild land where the wind blows free
Has always been a part of me
It's in my blood, I just can't get it out
For a hundred miles, a man can see
And be about as wild as he wants to be
If he feels like shoutin', all he's gotta do is shout
Where the purple mountains reach up high
And look like they're gonna touch the sky
Where the canyon walls have stood for a million years
Where the days are hot, the nights are cold
The desert sand looks just like gold
These trails were carved in sweat and blood and tears
Where the painted desert, as you pass by
Looks like a rainbow in the sky
The cactus blooms in the early morning sun
Where the night wings sing, the eagles fly
The clouds paint pictures in the sky
The coyote's howl tells you when the day is done
I'm comin' home, this time I'm gonna stay
I'm comin' home, and I ain't never GOING away
My feet are itchin' to get back home
I've had the desert fever since I've been gone
I need some lovin' so bad that I can't see
When a woman looks a man in the eye
You know it takes a man to satisfy
Thinking about them girls is killing me
I'm goin' home, goin' home
Goin' home, I'm goin' home
Goin' home, goin' home, I'm goin' home
Goin' home, goin' home

I'm goin' up (I'm goin' up)
Oh, I'm goin' up, up, up, up
It's 'bout as bad as it could be
Seems everybody's buggin' me
Like nothing wants to go my way
Yeah, it just ain't been my day
Nothin's comin' easily
Even my skin is acting weird
I wish that I could grow a beard
Then I could cover up my spots
Not play connect the dots
I just want to disappear
Up, up, up
Can only go up from here
Up, up, up
Where the clouds gonna clear
Up, up
There's no way but up from here
Even something as simple as
Forgettin' to fill up on gas
There ain't no explanation why
Things like that can make you cry
Just gotta learn to have a laugh
And up, up, up
Can only go up from here
Up, up, up
Where the clouds gonna clear
Up, up
There's no way but up from here
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
When everything is goin' wrong
Don't worry, it won't last for long
Yeah, it's all gonna come around
Don't go let it get you down
You gotta keep on holding on
It's 'bout as bad as it could be
Seems everybody's buggin' me
Like nothing wants to go my way
It just ain't been my day
Nothin's comin' easily, oh, oh, oh
And up, up, up
Can only go up from here
Up, up, up
Where the clouds gonna clear

Viva Las Vegas - Elvis

Bright light city gonna set my soul
Gonna set my soul on fire
Got a whole lot of money that's ready to burn
So get those stakes up higher
There's a thousand pretty women waiting out there
And they're all living the devil may care
And I'm just a devil with love to spare
So viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
How I wish that there were more
Than the 24 hours in the day
Even if there were 40 more
I wouldn't sleep a minute away
Oh, there's blackjack and poker and the roulette wheel
A fortune won and lost on every deal
All you need's a strong heart and a nerve of STEEL
Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas with your neon flashing
And your one arm bandits crashing
All those hopes down the drain
Viva Las Vegas, turning day into nighttime
Turning night into daytime
Tell me, if you see it once
You'll never be the same again
I'm gonna keep on the run
I'm gonna have me some fun
If it costs me my very last dime
If I wind up broke, oh well, I'll always remember
That I had a swinging time
I'm gonna give it everything I've got
Lady luck, please let the dice stay hot
Let me shoot a seven with every shot
Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
Viva, viva Las Vegas

Too soon to know - Roy Orbison

It's too SOON to know
If I can forget her
My heart's been broken in too many pieces
And It's too soon to know
Time passes slow
Will I ever know
If I can forget her and not let it show
But it's too soon to know
News travels fast when a love affair ends
People keep asking what happened to them
But it's too soon to know
If I can forget her
My heart's been broken in too many pieces
And It's too soon to know
My heart's been broken in too many pieces
And It's too soon to know

Girl, you’ll be a woman soon - Neil Diamond

[Verse 1]
Girl, you'll be a woman SOON
I love you so much, can't count all the ways
I've died for you girl and all they can say is
"He's not your kind"
They never get tired of putting me down
And I'll never know when I come around
What I'm gonna find
Don't let them make up your mind
Don't you know

[Chorus]
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please, come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Soon, you'll need a man

[Verse 2]
I've been misunderstood for all of my life
But what they're saying girl it cuts like a knife
"The boy's no good"
Well I've finally found what I've been looking for
But if they get their chance they'll end it for sure
Surely would
Baby, I've done all I could
Now it's up to you

[Chorus]
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please, come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Soon, you'll need a man
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please, come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Soon, you'll need a man

I know you're leavin' BABE
Goodbye, so long
I hope someday somebody
Listens to your song
Those bright lights never ever
Spell your name it's true
Maybe a change of scene
Will be the best for you

So long babe, so long babe
So long babe, so long babe
So long babe

I know you're leavin' babe
Goodbye, so long
Pick up the pieces
And go back where you belong
You gave them all you had
And what did they give you?
Well they gave you nothin' babe
So give 'em nothin' too

So long babe, so long babe, so long babe
So long babe, so long babe, so long babe
So long babe

I know you're leavin' babe
Goodbye and so long
You never made it babe
I wonder what went wrong
They never understood your songs
Here's what you do
Just walk away and leave 'em
And let 'em come to you

So long babe, so long babe
Yeah so long babe, so long babe
So long babe, so long babe
So long babe
So long babe
Ah so long babe
So long babe
Mmm So long babe

Fame and fortune - Elvis


only registered users can see external links


FAME and fortune
How empty they can be
But when I hold you in my arms
That's heaven to me

Who cares for fame and fortune?
They're only passing things
But the touch of your lips on mine
Makes me feel like a king

Your kind of love
Is a treasure I hold
It's so much greater
Than silver or gold

I know that I have nothing
If you should go away, do do do dum
But to know that you love me
Brings fame and fortune my way, do do do

But to know that you love me
Brings fame and fortune my way

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
And when it's cold outside, I've got the month of May
I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl, I'm talkin' 'bout my girl
I've got so much honey, the bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees
I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl, I'm talkin' 'bout my girl
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
I don't need money, fortune or FAME
I got all the riches, baby, that one man can claim
I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl, talkin' 'bout my girl
Got so much honey, the bees envy me
I got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees
Don't need no fortune, no money or fame
'Cause when I got my girl, I've got all the riches one man can claim

Flowers in the rain - The Move


only registered users can see external links


Woke up one morning half asleep
With all my blankets in a heap
And yellow roses scattered all around
The time was still approaching four
I couldn't stand it any more
Saw marigolds upon my eider down
I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain
Feel the power of the rain
Making the GARDEN grow
I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain
Feel the power of the rain
Keeping me cool
So I lay upon my side with all the windows open wide
Couldn't pressurise my head from speaking
Hoping not to make a sound
I pushed my bed into the ground
In time to catch the sight that I was seeking
I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain
Feel the power of the rain
Making the garden grow
I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain
Feel the power of the rain
Keeping me cool
If this perfect pleasure has the key
Then this is how it has to be
If my pillow's getting wet
I don't see that it matters much to me
I heard the flowers in the breeze
Make conversation with the trees
Relieved to leave reality behind me
With my commitments an a mess
My sleep has gone away depressed
In a world of fantasy you'll find me
I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain
Feel the power of the rain
Making the garden grow
I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain
Feel the power of the rain
Keeping me cool
Watching flowers in the rain
Power in the rain
Power flowers in the rain
Flower power in the rain
Powerful, flowerful rain
Flowerful, powerful, flowerful rain

(Here we go round) The lemon tree - The Move


only registered users can see external links


There's a girl next door to me who's round the bend
But she wonders why she can't make any friends
From her GARDEN she could see me
In her silver-clad bikini
Singing, dancing round her fruit tree
Here we go round the lemon tree
Mister, can you hear me
Here we go round the lemon tree
Mister, don't come near me
Could I calm her down by throwing stones at her
If only I could make the right approach to her
Think I'd rather tame a tiger
Turn those lemons into cider
Still I'd like to get beside her
Here we go round the lemon tree
Mister, can you hear me
Here we go round the lemon tree
Mister, don't come near me
Three o'clock in the morning
I can hear her toneless singing
I could smell her lemon perfume in the air
I walked up to the window
In the hope that I might see her
Could the deadly shade of night still bring her there
Here we go round the lemon tree
Mister, can you hear me
Here we go round the lemon tree
Mister, don't come near me
Morning came and into action went my plans
Went to meet her dressed in bright green underpants
I crept in and sang discreetly
Seemed to change her mind completely
Danced together singing sweetly
Here we go round the lemon tree
Mister, can you hear me
Here we go round the lemon tree
Mister, don't come near me
Here we go round the lemon tree
Mister, can you hear me
Here we go round the lemon tree
Mister, don't come near me

Word of the day for Friday 15th May - GARDEN

Everybodies talkin’ - The Beautiful South

The original of course by Harry Nilsson

only registered users can see external links


Everybody's talkin' at me.
I can't hear a word they're sayin',
Only the echoes of my mind.

People stoppin' starin'
I can't see their faces,
Only the shadows of their eyes.

I'm goin' where the sun keeps shinin'
Thru the pourin' rain,
Goin' where the weather suits my CLOTHES .

Backin' off the northeast wind and,
Sailin' on a summer breeze,
Trippin' over the ocean like a stone.

Woh Woh Woh

I'm goin' where the sun keeps shinin'
Thru the pourin' rain,
Goin' where the weather suits my clothes.

Backin' off the northeast wind,
Sailin' on a summer breeze,
Trippin' over the ocean like a stone,
Like a stone

Everybody's talkin' at me.

Dedicated follower of fashion - The Kinks

They seek him here, they seek him there
His CLOTHES are loud, but never square
It will make or break him, so he's got to buy the best
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion
And when he does his little rounds
'Round the boutiques of London town
Eagerly pursuing all the latest fads and trends
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion
Oh yes, he is (oh yes, he is)
Oh yes, he is (oh yes, he is)
He thinks he is a flower to be looked at
And when he pulls his frilly nylon panties right up tight
He feels a dedicated follower of fashion
Oh yes, he is (oh yes, he is)
Oh yes, he is (oh yes, he is)
There's one thing that he loves and that is flattery
One week he's in polka-dots, the next week he's in stripes
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion
They seek him here, they seek him there
In Regent Street and Leicester Square
Everywhere the Carnabetian army marches on
Each one a dedicated follower of fashion
Oh yes, he is (oh yes, he is)
Oh yes, he is (oh yes, he is)
His world is built 'round discotheques and parties
This pleasure-seeking individual always looks his best
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion
Oh yes, he is (oh yes, he is)
Oh yes, he is (oh yes, he is)
He flits from shop to shop just like a butterfly
In matters of the cloth, he is as fickle as can be
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion
He's a dedicated follower of fashion
He's a dedicated follower of fashion

Reason to believe - Carpenters

If I listen long enough to you
I'd find the way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight face
While I cried
(*) And still I look
To find a REASON to believe
Someone like you makes it hard to live
Without somebody else
Someone like you make it easy to give
Never thinking of myself
If you took the time to change my mind
I could find a way
To leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied straight face
While I cried
Repeat (*)
If I listen long enough to you
I'd find the way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight face

Yes, I'm lonely
Want to die
Yes, I'm lonely
Want to die
If I ain't dead already
Oh, girl, you know the REASON why
In the morning
Want to die
In the evening
Want to die
If I ain't dead already
Oh, girl, you know the reason why
My mother was of the sky
My father was of the earth
But I am of the universe
And you know what it's worth
I'm lonely
Want to die
If I ain't dead already
Oh, girl, you know the reason why
The eagle picks my eye
The worm he licks my bone
I feel so suicidal
Just like Dylan's Mr. Jones
Lonely
Want to die
If I ain't dead already
Oh, girl, you know the reason why
Black cloud crossed my mind
Blue mist round my soul
Feel so suicidal
Even hate my rock and roll
Want to die
Yeah, want to die
If I ain't dead already
Oh, girl, you know the reason why

Where do you come FROM?
Tell me who you are
Do you come from another world
Or from some distant star?

Where do you come from?
Are you what you seem?
Are you real? Are you standing there
Or is it just a dream?

Tell me more about yourself
Do you feel the way I feel?
Are you just a vision
Or are you really real?

Where do you come from?
Angel, won't you say?
Tell me all that there is to know
And tell me that you'll stay

I’ve gotta be me - Sammy Davis Jnr


only registered users can see external links


Whether I'm right or whether I'm wrong
Whether I find a place in this world or never belong
I gotta be me, I've gotta be me
What else can I be but what I am
I want to live, not merely survive
And I won't give up this dream
Of life that keeps me alive
I gotta be me, I gotta be me
The dream that I see makes me what I am
That far away PRIZE, a world of success
Is waiting for me if I heed the call
I won't settle down, won't settle for less
As long as there's a chance that I can have it all
I'll go it alone, that's how it must be
I can't be right for somebody else
If I'm not right for me
I gotta be free, I've gotta be free
Daring to try, to do it or die
I've gotta be me
I'll go it alone, that's how it must be
I can't be right for somebody else
If I'm not right for me
I gotta be free, I just gotta be free
Daring to try, to do it or die
I gotta be me

Sorrow - The Merseybeats


only registered users can see external links


With your long blonde hair and your eyes of blue
The only thing I ever get from you
Is SORROW, sorrow
You're actin' funny spendin' all my money
You're out there playin' your high class games
Sorrow, sorrow
You never do what you know you oughta
Somethin' tells me you're the devil's daughter
Sorrow, sorrow
Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
I tried to fight her but I can't resist her
(I tried to fight her but I can't resist her)
I never knew just how much I missed her
Sorrow, sorrow
With your long blonde hair and your eyes of blue
(With your long blonde hair and your eyes of blue)
The only thing I ever got from you
Was sorrow, sorrow
Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
With your long blonde hair I couldn't sleep last night
With your long blonde hair

The way old friends do - ABBA

Would you like to hear some accordion for an encore?
A New song?
Nobody's ever heard it before
You and I can share the silence
Finding comfort together
The way old friends do
And after fights and words of violence
We make up with each other
The way old friends do
Times of joy and times of SORROW
We will always see it through
Oh I don't care what comes tomorrow
We can face it together
The way old friends do
You and I can share the silence
Finding comfort together
The way old friends do
And after fights and words of violence
We make up with each other
The way old friends do
Times of joy and times of sorrow
We will always see it through
Oh I don't care what comes tomorrow
We can face it together
The way old friends do
We can face it together
The way old friends do

And every time I hold you tight a palace is my home
Yeah, but will my kingdom turn to dust in the morning light
I am a queen for tonight (Queen for tonight) but will I have a king tomorrow? (Tomorrow)
Every kiss you're givin' me is a jewel in my crown
I'm as high and mighty as can be with the treasure I found
But will my castle tumble down in the morning light?
I am a queen for tonight (Queen for tonight) but will I have a king tomorrow? (Tomorrow)

You say that you belong to me and I rule the world
A queen in all her majesty, knowing I'm your girl
But will I wear a golden crown in the morning light?
I am a queen for tonight (Queen for tonight) but will I have a king tomorrow? (Tomorrow)
I am a queen for tonight (Queen for tonight) but will I have a king...

Dark Lady - Cher


only registered users can see external links


The fortune QUEEN of New Orleans
Was brushing her cat in her black limousine
On the backseat were scratches from
The marks of men, her fortune she had won
Couldn't see through the tinted glass
She said, "Home, James" and he hit the gas
I followed her to some darkened room
She took my money, she said, "I'll be with you soon"
Dark lady laughed and danced and lit the candles one by one
Danced to her gypsy music 'til her brew was done
Dark lady played black magic 'til the clock struck on the 12
She told me more about me than I knew myself
She dealt two cards, a queen and a three
And mumbled some words that were so strange to me
And then she turned up a two-eyed jack
My eyes saw red but the card still stayed black
She said, "The man you love is secretly true
To someone else who is very close to you
My advice is that you leave this place
Never come back and forget you ever saw my face"
Dark lady laughed and danced and lit the candles one by one
Danced to her gypsy music 'til her brew was done
Dark lady played black magic 'til the clock struck on the twelve
She told me more about me than I knew myself
So, I ran home and crawled in my bed
I couldn't sleep because of all the things she said
Then I remembered her strange perfume
And how I smelled, it was in my own room
And so, I sneaked back and caught her with my man
Laughing and kissing 'til they saw the gun in my hand
The next thing I knew they were dead on the floor
Dark lady would never turn a card up anymore
Dark lady laughed and danced and lit the candles one by one
Danced to her gypsy music 'til her brew was done
Dark lady played black magic 'til the clock struck on the 12

Ha ha said the clown - Manfred Mann


only registered users can see external links


Ha! Ha! Said the clown, has the KING lost his crown?
Is the night being tight on romance?
Ha! Ha! Said the clown, is it bringing you down
That you've lost your chance?

Feeling low, gotta go, see a show in town
Hear the jokes, have a smoke, and a laugh at the clown
In a whirl, see a girl with a smile in her eyes
Never thought I'd be brought right down by her lies

In a trance, watch her dance to the beat of the drums
Faster now, sweating brow, I'm all the fingers and thumbs
Wonder why I hit the sky when she blows me a kiss
In a while, run a mile, I'm regretting all this

Ha! Ha! Said the clown, has the king lost his crown?
Is the night being tight on romance?
Ha! Ha! Said the clown, is it bringing you down
That you've lost your chance?

Time to go, close the show, wave the people goodbye
Grab my coat, grab my hat, look that girl in the eye
Where's your home, what's your phone number, stop fooling 'round
Could have died, she replied, "I'm the wife of the clown"

Ha! Ha! Said the clown, has the king lost his crown?
Is the night being tight on romance?
Ha! Ha! Said the clown, is it bringing you down
That you've lost your chance?

Ha! Ha! Said the clown, has the king lost his crown?
Is the night being tight on romance?
Ha! Ha! Said the clown, is it bringing you down

The king has lost his crown - ABBA

I believe your new girl turned you down
And they say she's pushing you around
How does it feel? I guess it hurts your pride
Tell me my friend, how many nights you cried
Disaster and disgrace
The KING has lost his crown
Suddenly
He's clumsy like a clown
The world is upside down
The king has lost his crown
Was it hard to step down from your throne
And to know tonight you're all alone?
Oh what a shame, you really want that girl
She doesn't care, still you just dream of her
Disaster and disgrace
The king has lost his crown
Suddenly
He's clumsy like a clown
The world is upside down
The king has lost his crown
Disaster and disgrace
The world is all around
Suddenly
He's clumsy like a clown
The world is upside down
The king has lost his crown
Disaster and disgrace
The world is all around

I had that as a got o but b Elvis. A great choice.

Complicated - Avril Lavigne

Uh huh, life's like this
Uh huh, uh huh, that's the way it is
'Cause life's like this
Uh huh, uh huh, that's the way it is
Chill out, what ya yellin' for?
Lay back, it's all been done before
And if, you could only let it be, you will see
I like you the way you are
When we're driving in your car
And you're talking to me one on one, but you become
Somebody else
'Round everyone else
You're watching your back
Like you can't relax
You try to be cool
You look like a fool to me
Tell me
Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else
Gets me frustrated
Life's like this, you
And you fall, and you crawl, and you break
And you take what you get, and you turn it into
Honesty and promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
No, no, no
You come over unannounced
Dressed up like you're somethin' else
Where you are and where it's at you see
You're making me
Laugh out when you STRIKE your pose
Take off all your preppy clothes
You know you're not fooling anyone
When you become
Somebody else
'Round everyone else
You're watching your back
Like you can't relax
You try to be cool
You look like a fool to me
Tell me
Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else
Gets me frustrated
Life's like this, you
And you fall, and you crawl, and you break
And you take what you get, and you turn it into
Honesty and promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no (no, no)
Chill out, what ya yellin' for?
Lay back, it's all been done before
And if you could only let it be
You will see
Somebody else
'Round everyone else
You're watching your back
Like you can't relax
You try to be cool
You look like a fool to me
Tell me
Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else
Gets me frustrated

And you take what you get, and you turn it into

Walk like an Egyptian - The Bangles


only registered users can see external links


All the old paintings on the tombs,
They do the sand dance,
Don't you know?

If they move too quick
They're falling down like a domino.

All the bazaar men by the Nile,
They got the money on a bet.

Gold crocodiles they snap their teeth
On your cigarette.

Foreign types with their hookah pipes say
Walk like an Egyptian.

The blond waitresses take their trays
They spin around and they cross the floor;
They've got the moves.
You drop your drink then they bring you more.

All the school kids so sick of books,
They like the punk and the metal band.
When the buzzer rings,
They're walking like an Egyptian.

All the kids in the marketplace say:
Walk like an Egyptian.

Slide your feet up the street
Bend your back
Shift your arm then you pull it back.

Life's hard you know
So STRIKE a pose on a Cadillac.

If you want to find all the cops
They're hanging out in the donut shop.
They sing and dance
They spin the clubs cruise down the block.

All the Japanese with their yen
The party boys call the Kremlin
And the Chinese know
They walk the line like Egyptian.

All the cops in the donut shop say:
Walk like an Egyptian
Walk like an Egyptian.

Slipping through my fingers - ABBA


only registered users can see external links


Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
I watch her go with a surge of that well known sadness
And I have to sit down for a while
The feeling that I'm losing her forever
And without really entering her world
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
That funny little girl

Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to CAPTURE every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see what's in her mind
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time

Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table
Barely awake I let precious time go by
Then when she's gone, there's that odd melancholy feeling
And a sense of guilt I can't deny
What happened to the wonderful adventures
The places I had planned for us to go
Well, some of that we did, but most we didn't
And why, I just don't know

Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see what's in her mind
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time

Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
And save it from the funny tricks of time

Slipping through my fingers...

Slipping through my fingers all the time

Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile

Born under a bad SIGN
