I have my books
And my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armor
Hiding in my room safe within my womb
I touch no one and no one touches me
I am a rock I am an island

crazyH Mon 16-Jan-23 18:40:12

Trailer's for sale or rent
Rooms to let, 50 cents
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah, but, two hours of pushin' broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road

Caleo Mon 16-Jan-23 18:22:20

I'm the king of the swingers
Oh, the jungle VIP
I've reached the top and had to stop
And that's what botherin' me
I wanna be a man, mancub
And stroll right into town
And be just like the other men
I'm tired of monkeyin' around!
I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you, too
You'll see it's true
An ape like me
Can learn to be human too

SachaMac Mon 16-Jan-23 18:07:28

Today I saw somebody
Who looked just like you
He walked like you do
I thought it was you
As he turned the corner
I called out your name
I felt so ashamed
When it wasn't you

MiniMoon Mon 16-Jan-23 17:52:38

Can anybody find me
Somebody to love?

Ooh, each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
Take a look at yourself in the mirror and cry
Take a look in the mirror and cry
Lord, what you're doing to me? (Yeah, yeah)
I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief, Lord

Somebody (Somebody)
Ooh, somebody (Somebody)
Can anybody find me
Somebody to love?
Yeah

dayvidg Mon 16-Jan-23 15:27:26

When the truth is found to be lies
And all the joy within you dies
Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love

lovebeigecardigans1955 Mon 16-Jan-23 15:07:41

I wanna dance with somebody
Feel the heat with somebody
I wanna dance with somebody who loves me

SachaMac Mon 16-Jan-23 14:38:16

Dance if you wanna dance
Please brother take a chance
You know they're gonna go
Which way they wanna go
All we know is that we don't know
How it's gonna be
Please brother let it be
Life on the other hand won't make us understand
We're all part of the masterplan

crazyH Mon 16-Jan-23 14:09:57

Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it? I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance, what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

MiniMoon Mon 16-Jan-23 14:07:07

Those schoolgirl days
Of telling tales and biting nails are gone
But in my mind
I know they will still live on and on
But how do you thank someone
Who has taken you from crayons to perfume?
It isn't easy, but I'll try

dayvidg Mon 16-Jan-23 13:46:31

Can't stay at home, can't stay at school
Old folks say, "You poor little fool"
Down the streets I'm the girl next door
I'm the fox you've been waiting for
Hello, daddy, hello, mom
I'm your ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb
Hello world I'm your wild girl
I'm your ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb

crazyH Mon 16-Jan-23 13:05:11

The old hometown looks the same
As I step down from the train
And there to meet me is my mama and papa
Down the road I look and there runs Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home

Caleo Mon 16-Jan-23 11:54:15

Oft times between long shadows on the grass,

The little truant waves of sunlight pass,

My eyes grow dim with tenderness the while,

Thinking I see thee, thinking I see thee smile

dayvidg Mon 16-Jan-23 11:18:43

Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free, oh
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

Grandyma Mon 16-Jan-23 10:30:01

Like a bat out of hell, I'll be gone when the morning comes
When the night is over, like a bat out of hell
I'll be gone, gone, gone
Like a bat out of hell
I'll be gone when the morning comes
But when the day is done
And the sun goes down
And the moonlight's shining through
Then like a sinner before the gates of Heaven
I'll come crawling on back to you

SachaMac Mon 16-Jan-23 09:13:51

Livin' easy
Lovin' free
Season ticket on a one way ride
Askin' nothin'
Leave me be
Takin' everythin' in my stride
Don't need reason
Don't need rhyme
Ain't nothin' that I'd rather do
Goin' down
Party time
My friends are gonna be there too
I'm on the highway to hell
On the highway to hell
Highway to hell
I'm on the highway to hell

dayvidg Mon 16-Jan-23 09:09:29

If you ever plan to motor west
Travel my way
Take the highway that's the best
Get your kicks on Route 66

Alioop Mon 16-Jan-23 07:33:45

Well, at the age of five they can do their jive
Down at Devil Gate Drive
And at the age of six they're gonna get their kicks
Down at Devil Gate Drive
Well your mama don't know where your sister done go
She's gone down to the Drive, she's the start the show
And let her move on up, let her come, let her go
She can jive
Down at Devil Gate Drive

Grannmarie Mon 16-Jan-23 00:30:14

I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny
I took all of his money and I brought it home to Molly
She swore that she loved me, never would she leave me
May the Devil take that woman for you know she tricked me easy.

Caleo Mon 16-Jan-23 00:20:43

Molly Ban, Molly Bawn
Molly Bawn O' Leary from the County Tipperary
You mischievous dark fairy you have me surely robbed
Playing on the footpath with your lipstick on your gob
Molly Bawn Molly Bawn

MiniMoon Sun 15-Jan-23 23:56:32

In Dublin's fair city,
Where the girls are so pretty
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
As she wheeled her wheel-barrow
Through streets broad and narrow
Crying cockles and mussels, alive, alive-O!
Alive, alive-O! alive, alive-O!
Crying cockles and mussels, alive, alive-O!

SachaMac Sun 15-Jan-23 23:26:00

No worries Caleo, I’ll carry on from the last post.

I hope that I can say
The things I wish I'd said
To sing my soul to sleep
And take me back to bed
You want to be alone
When we could be alive instead

LadyHonoriaDedlock Sun 15-Jan-23 23:21:14

Give me back my broken night
My mirrored room, my secret life
It's lonely here
There's no one left to torture
Give me absolute control
Over every living soul
And lie beside me, baby
That's an order
Give me crack and anal sex
Take the only tree that's left
And stuff it up the hole
In your culture
Give me back the Berlin wall
Give me Stalin and St. Paul
I've seen the future, brother
It is murder

Caleo Sun 15-Jan-23 23:14:48

Sacha Mac, mine was in response to Grandyma's post of the lovely Beatles song lyric. It sometimes happens tnhat psots cross in the post.

Caleo Sun 15-Jan-23 23:11:06

When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother, what will I be
Will I be pretty? Will I be rich?
Here's what she said to me
Qué será, será
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Qué será, será
What will be, will be------

Minimoon, I am glad The Mingulay Boat Song brought you a happy memory. It has a happy memory for me too, of my brother , and Is till get gooseflesh when I think of the somg its melody and its words. It was a favourite of the Glasgow Orpheus Choir.

SachaMac Sun 15-Jan-23 23:09:56

If you're looking for trouble
You came to the right place
If you're looking for trouble
Just look right in my face
I was born standing up
And talking back
My daddy was a green-eyed mountain jack
Because I'm evil, my middle name is misery
Well I'm evil, so don't you mess around with me
