Hello 👋 where is everyone?
Apologies if anyone else has started a new song lyrics thread, I can't see it.

We've only just begun to live
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way,
Oh yes, we've just begun.

Grandyma Fri 12-Jul-24 09:35:01

Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away, I've got to
Get away from the pain you drive into the heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my light
For I toss and turn, I can't sleep at night

Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Tainted love (oh)
Tainted love

Now I know I've got to
Run away, I've got to
Get away, you don't really want any more from me
To make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
And you think love is to pray
But I'm sorry, I don't pray that way

Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Tainted love (oh)
Tainted love

Don't touch me, please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so
Now I'm gonna pack my things and go

dayvidg Thu 11-Jul-24 14:18:01

And I'd pack my things on a pair of wings and tomorrow I'd be parting
With the summer birds and the winter herds for a place to face a new heart in
But it makes no difference, where I am I'm in the game first hand
There are no certain answers and no time to understand
The rules are set to paradox, coercion and blind faith
The goal's a changing paradise, a moment out of date
The dream is righteous grandeur fit to flood the universe
The fact is more than meets the eye but less than runs the earth, running the earth
And the prisoner of the present paces up and down inside his cell
He's the living replacement, somersaulting from this psychic well
Screaming : 'I'm the sponsor of a hell'
Voices like the sea inside a shell
Telling me I cannot stake a claim
Possession is a clue but not the game
So please leave this world as clean as when you came

Grandyma Thu 11-Jul-24 10:49:53

Baby sneezes
Mummy pleases
Daddy breezes in
So good on paper
So romantic
But so bewildering
I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again
So don't mind if I fall apart
There's more room in a broken heart
You pay the grocer
You fix the toaster
Kiss the host good-bye
Then you break a window
Burn the soufflé
Scream the lullaby
I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again
So don't mind if I fall apart
There's more room in a broken heart

Grannmarie Wed 10-Jul-24 19:59:46

Can ye no' hush your weepin' oh?
All the wee lambs are sleepin' oh.
Birdies are nestlin', nestlin' together,
Dream Angus is hirplin' o'er the heather.

" Dreams to sell, fine dreams to sell "
Angus is here with dreams to sell.
Hush now my baby and don't you cry,
Dream Angus will bring a lullaby.

Don't throw your love away
No, no, no, no
Don't throw your love away
For you might need it someday
Don't throw your dreams away
No, no, no, no
Keep them another day
For you might need them someday
Lovers of today
Just throw their dreams away
And play at love
They give their love away
To anyone who'll say, I love you

Grandyma Tue 09-Jul-24 17:14:14

Don't take your love away from me
Don't you leave my heart in misery
If you go then I'll be blue
'Cause breaking up is hard to do
Remember when you held me tight
And you kissed me all through the night
Think of all that we've been through
And breaking up is hard to do
They say that breaking up is hard to do
Now I know
I know that it's true
Don't say that this is the end
Instead of breaking up I wish that we were making up again
I beg of you don't say goodbye
Can't we give our love another try?
Come on, baby, let's start anew
'Cause breaking up is hard to do

dayvidg Tue 09-Jul-24 13:55:22

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

Grandyma Tue 09-Jul-24 12:27:15

Pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag, And smile, smile, smile
While you’ve a Lucifer
to light your fag,
Smile, boys, that’s the style.
What’s the use of worrying? It never was worth while, so
Pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag, and smile, smile, smile.

dayvidg Mon 08-Jul-24 14:08:09

You gotta keep one eye
Looking over your shoulder
You know it's going to get harder,
Harder, and harder as you get older
And in the end you'll pack up
Fly down south
Hide your head in the sand,
Just another sad old man
All alone and dying of cancer

Grandyma Mon 08-Jul-24 10:37:47

Bring me bring me two pina coladas
I want one for each hand
Let's set sail with Captin Morgan
Oh and never leave dry land
Any troubles I forgot 'em
I buried 'em in the sand
So bring me two pina coladas
And say hello to her good timin' man

dayvidg Sun 07-Jul-24 12:50:42

If you like piña coladas
And getting caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga
If you have half a brain
If you like making love at midnight
In the dunes on the cape
I'm the love that you've looked for
Write to me and escape

Grandyma Sat 06-Jul-24 14:48:19

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night
The photograph on the dashboard, taken years ago
Turned around backwards so the windshield shows
Every streetlight reveals the picture in reverse
Still, it's so much clearer
I forgot my shirt at the water's edge
The moon is low tonight
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night
I'm not sure all these people understand
It's not like years ago
The fear of getting caught
Of recklessness and water
They cannot see me naked
These things, they go away
Replaced by everyday

dayvidg Fri 05-Jul-24 11:35:18

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell? Blue skies from pain?
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell?
Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change? Did you exchange
A walk-on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl, year after year
Running over the same old ground, what have we found?
The same old fears, wish you were here

Grannmarie Thu 04-Jul-24 23:36:05

I'm a walking in the rain
Tears are falling and I feel the pain
Wishing you were here with me
To end this misery
And I wonder
I wo wo wo wo wonder
Why, why why why why why she ran away And I wonder
If she will stay
My little runaway, run run run run runaway?

dayvidg Thu 04-Jul-24 12:28:11

Hey, have you ever tried
Really reaching out for the other side?
I may be climbing on rainbows
But baby, here goes
Dreams, they're for those who sleep
Life is for us to keep
And if you're wondering what this song is leading to
I want to make it with you
I really think that we could make it, girl

Grandyma Thu 04-Jul-24 11:09:48

Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
There's something wrong here, there can be no denying
One of us is changing, or maybe we just stopped trying

And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died
And I can't hide and I just can't fake it
Oh, no, no, no, no (No, no, no, no)

dayvidg Tue 02-Jul-24 12:01:20

Well, no one told me about her, the way she lied
Well, no one told me about her, how many people cried
But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know, why should I care?
Please don't bother tryin' to find her
She's not there
Well, let me tell you 'bout the way she looked
The way she'd act and the colour of her hair
Her voice was soft and cool
Her eyes were clear and bright
But she's not there

Grandyma Mon 01-Jul-24 23:36:37

I don't wanna spoil the party so I'll go
I would hate my disappointment to show
There's nothing for me here so I will disappear
If she turns up while I'm gone please let me know
I've had a drink or two and I don't care
There's no fun in what I do if she's not there
I wonder what went wrong, I've waited far too long
I think I'll take a walk and look for her
Though tonight she's made me sad
I still love her
If I find her I'll be glad
I still love her

dayvidg Mon 01-Jul-24 14:15:19

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Where a moment spent with you is a moment I treasure
Don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna to fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing

Grandyma Mon 01-Jul-24 10:43:45

Sweet dreams of you
Dreams I know can't come true
Why can't I forget the past
Start loving someone new
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
Sweet dreams about you You don't love me, it's plain
I should know you'd never wear my name
I should hate you the whole night through
Instead of having sweet dreams about you You don't love me, it's plain
I should know you'd never, never wear my name
And I should hate you the whole night through
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
Instead of having sweet dreams about you

dayvidg Wed 26-Jun-24 15:16:20

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused

Grandyma Wed 26-Jun-24 10:40:36

Stars shining bright above you,
night breezes seem to whisper, "I love you".
Birds singing in the sycamore tree,
"Dream a little dream of me".
Say "nighty-night" and kiss me.
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me.
While I'm alone and blue as can be,
dream a little dream of me.
Stars fading, but I linger on, dear.
Still craving your kiss,
I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear.
Just saying this: Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you.
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you.
But in your dreams whatever they be,
dream a little dream of me.
Stars fading, but I linger on, dear.
Still craving your kiss,
I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear.
Just saying this: Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you.
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you.
But in your dreams whatever they be,
dream a little dream of me.

Well, she walked up to me
And she asked me if I wanted to dance
She looked kind of nice
And so I said I might take a chance
When we danced she held me tight
And when I walked her home that night
All the stars were shinin' bright
And then she kissed me

Grandyma Tue 25-Jun-24 13:08:32

It was a night, ooh oh, what a night
It was, it really was such a night
The moon was bright, oh, how bright
It was, it really was such a night
The night was alight with stars above
Ooh, when she kissed me
I had to fall in love
Oh, it was a kiss
Ooh oh, what a kiss
It was, it really was such a kiss
Oh, how she could kiss, oh, what a kiss
It was, it really was such a kiss
Just the thought of her lips sets me afire
I reminisce and I'm filled with desire

dayvidg Mon 24-Jun-24 12:28:46

Oh, what a night
Late December back in sixty three
What a very special time for me
As I remember, what a night
Oh, what a night, you know I didn't even know her name
But I was never gonna be the same
What a lady, what a night
Oh, I, I got a funny feelin' when she walked in the room
And my, as I recall it ended much too soon
