Hello ๐Ÿ‘‹ 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.

When you're down and troubled
And you need some lovin' care
And nothin', nothin' is goin' right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know, wherever I am
I'll come runnin'
To see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend

In my eyes,indisposed
In disguises no one knows
Hides the face,lies the snake
In the sun in my disgrace
Boiling heat, summer stench
Neath the black,the skylooks dead
Call my name through the cream
And I'll hear you scream again

Black hole sun ,won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun ,won't you come
Won't you come, won't you come

Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck is feeling dirty and gritty,
Been down, isn't it a pity,
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come on, come on, let's dance all night
Despite the heat it'll be alright

dayvidg Sun 04-Feb-24 12:24:27

Let's dance
Put on your red shoes and dance the blues
Let's dance
To the song they're playin' on the radio
Let's sway
While color lights up your face
Let's sway
Sway through the crowd to an empty space
If you say run
I'll run with you
And if you say hide
We'll hide
Because my love for you
Would break my heart in two
If you should fall into my arms
And tremble like a flower

Grannmarie Sun 04-Feb-24 17:49:16

Remember how we listened to the radio And I said 'That's the place to be!'
And how I got a job as an FM jock
The day you married me...

I am the morning DJ at W.O.L.D.
Playing all the hits for you
Wherever you may be

Grandyma

I talked to my baby on the telephone
Long distance
I never would've guessed
I could miss someone so bad, yeah
I really only met her 'bout a week ago
But
It doesn't seem to matter to my heart I know that I love her
I'm hoping that I never recover
'Cause she's good for me
And it would really make me happy
To never let her slip away

Andrew Gold was one of my favourite singer songwriters in my youth.

As simple as breathing, I picture your face
All tangled in daydreams, and she'll live with grace
I feel you beside me, again
Wherever you may be
Lift up your head for me
There's somewhere in my heart, only for you

Grandyma Tue 06-Feb-24 17:49:07

There's a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us somewhere
There's a time for us
Some day a time for us
Time together with time to spare
Time to learn, time to care
Some day!
Somewhere!
We'll find a new way of living
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere

Grannmarie Tue 06-Feb-24 21:57:48

Somewhere in my heart
There is star that shines for you
Silver splits the blue
Love will see it through
And somewhere in my heart
There is the will to set you free
All you've got to be is true.

When you were young
And on your own
How did it feel to be alone?
I was always thinking of games
That I was playing
Trying to make the best of my time
But only love can break your heart
Try to be sure right from the start
Yes, only love can break your heart
What if your world should fall apart?

Grandyma Thu 08-Feb-24 10:53:34

Oh the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now
Never saying what they mean
And they wile away the hours
In their ivory towers
Till they're covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousine

Hans plays with Lotte, Lotte plays with Jane
Jane plays with Willi, Willi is happy again
Suki plays with Leo, Sacha plays with Britt
Adolf builds a bonfire, Enrico plays with it
Whistling tunes, we hide in the dunes by the seaside
Whistling tunes, we're kissing baboons in the jungle
It's a knockout
If looks could kill, they probably will
In games without frontiers
(War without tears)

Grandyma Fri 09-Feb-24 11:13:22

In the jungle, the mighty jungle
The lion sleeps tonight
In the jungle, the quiet jungle
The lion sleeps tonight
Near the village, the peaceful village
The lion sleeps tonight
Near the village, the quiet village
The lion sleeps tonight
Hush my darling, don't fear my darling
The lion sleeps tonight
Hush my darling, don't fear my darling
The lion sleeps tonight

dayvidg Fri 09-Feb-24 14:39:36

Hush, hush
I thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
She broke my heart but I love her just the same now
Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
I need her loving and I'm not to blame now

Grandyma Sat 10-Feb-24 20:34:38

Hush, little baby, don't say a word
Papa's gonna buy you a mocking bird
And if that mocking bird don't sing
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring is brass
Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass
And if that looking glass gets broke
Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat

Oh lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
My friends all drive Porches
I must make amends
Worked hard all my lifetime
No help from my friends
So ,lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?

dayvidg Sun 11-Feb-24 11:50:42

What would you think if I sang out of tune?
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last your whole life long
Don't worry if it's not good enough
For anyone else to hear
Just sing
Sing a song

Grandyma Mon 12-Feb-24 15:11:24

Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
But when you take the blues and make a song
You sing them out again
Sing them out again
Song sung blue
Weeping like a willow
Song sung blue
Sleeping on my pillow
Funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice
And before you know, it get to feeling good
You simply got no choice

dayvidg Mon 12-Feb-24 17:40:58

So true!
Funny how it seems
Always in time
But never in line for dreams
Head over heels when toe to toe
This is the sound of my soul!
This is the sound!
I bought a ticket to the world
But, now, I've come back again!
Why do I find it hard to write the next line?
Oh! I want the truth to be said

Grannmarie Mon 12-Feb-24 18:19:46

I think I'm gonna be sad, I think it's today
The girl that's driving me mad is going away
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride and she don't care.

Grandyma Tue 13-Feb-24 10:46:28

Ride it on out like a bird in the sky ways
Ride it on out like you were a bird
Fly it all out like an eagle in a sunbeam
Ride it on out like you were a bird
Wear a tall hat like a druid in the old days
Wear a tall hat and a tatooed gown
Ride a white swan like the people of the Beltane
Wear your hair long, babe you can't go wrong

dayvidg Tue 13-Feb-24 12:16:08

Three birds flew off a building
Standing proud against the sky
Many more flew with them
Spiralled up like laughter
Faster, harder
They rose up in a column
Hundreds upon hundreds
And twice that many wingspeed
Four miles across
Stretched a million miles high
The living pulsing column
In the lady of the sky

65KL Tue 13-Feb-24 19:33:08

I am a passenger
And I ride and I ride
I ride through the city's backsides
I see the stars come out of the sky
Yeah , they're bright in a hollow sky
You know it looks good tonight
I am a passenger
I stay under glass
I look through my window so bright
I see the stars come out tonight
I see the bright and hollow sky
Over the city's ripping sky
And everything looks good tonight

dayvidg Wed 14-Feb-24 12:01:30

Yeah, you and me, we can light up the sky
If you stay by my side
We can rule the world
All the stars are coming out tonight
They're lighting up the sky tonight
For you, for you
