When you're near
There's such an air of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere
Begin to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange the change
From major to minor
Ev'ry time we say goodbye

Grannmarie Tue 30-Sept-25 18:23:05

Young girl, get outta my mind
My love for you is way put of line
Better run girl
You're much too young, girl

Grandyma Tue 30-Sept-25 13:59:29

Is there anybody going to listen to my story
All about the girl who came to stay?
She's the kind of girl you want so much it makes you sorry
Still you don't regret a single day
Ah, girl
Girl, girl
When I think of all the times I've tried so hard to leave her
She will turn to me and start to cry
And she promises the earth to me and I believe her
After all this time I don't know why

dayvidg Mon 22-Sept-25 17:40:31

Bring the boys back home
Bring the boys back home
Don't leave the children on their own, no, no
Bring the boys back home

Wrong, do it again
Time to go
Are you feeling okay?
There's a man answering, but he keeps hanging up

Is there anybody out there?

Grandyma Mon 22-Sept-25 11:41:16

Annie, are you okay?
Will you tell us that you're okay?
There's a sign in the window
That he struck you - a crescendo, Annie
He came into your apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet
Then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down
It was your doom
Annie, are you okay?
So, Annie, are you okay?
Are you okay, Annie?
You've been hit by
You've been hit by a smooth criminal
Ow!

dayvidg Sun 21-Sept-25 16:44:48

And if you said this life ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
Because you're so smooth
And it's just like the ocean under the moon
Oh, it's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
Give me your heart, make it real, or else forget about it

Grannmarie Sat 20-Sept-25 23:54:53

Let's go for a little walk
Under the moon of love
Let's sit right down and talk
Under the moon of love
I wanna tell you
That I love you
And I want you to be my girl
Little darling let's walk, let's talk
Under the moon of love.

Just outside a lunatic asylum,
I was picking up some stones.
When along came a man and he said to me,
"Good morning, Mister Jones,
"How much a week do you get for doing that"?
"Thirty bob." I sighed,
He looked at me and shook his head,
And this is what he cried;

"Come inside, you silly b*****, come inside!
I thought you had more sense.
Working for a living? Take my tip,
Act a little silly and become a lunatic!
For you get your meals quite regular,
And two new suits beside.
Thirty bob a week and your wife and kids to keep.
Come inside you silly b*** come inside!"

dayvidg Sat 20-Sept-25 21:24:31

The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path
The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day, the paperboy brings more
And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

Grandyma Sat 20-Sept-25 18:31:48

In my mind I'm going to Carolina. Can't you see the sunshine, can't you just feel the moonshine?
Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind? Yes, I'm going to Carolina in my mind.

Dark and silent late last night, I think I might have heard the highway calling.
Geese in flight and dogs that bite.
And signs that might be omens say I'm going, going I'm gone to Carolina in my mind.

Now with a holy host of others standing round me, still I'm on the dark side of the moon.
And it seems like it goes on like this forever, you must forgive me
if I'm up and gone to Carolina in my mind.

In my mind I'm going to Carolina. Can't you see the sunshine, can't you just feel the moonshine?
Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind? Yes, I'm gone to Carolina in my mind.
Gotta make it back home again soon, gotta make it back on home again soon,
gotta make it back to Carolina soon, can't hang around, no babe, gotta make it back home again,
gotta make it back to Carolina soon...

Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
And maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
If I made you feel second best
Girl, I'm sorry I was blind
But you were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Grandyma Wed 17-Sept-25 11:42:15

Where do broken hearts go?
Can they find their way home
Back to the open arms
Of a love that's waiting there?
And if somebody loves you
Won't they always love you?
I look in your eyes
And I know that you still care, for me (ooh, baby)
I've been around enough to know
That dreams don't turn to gold
And that there is no easy way
No, you just can't run away
And what we had was so much more
Than we ever had before
And no matter how I try
You're always on my mind

Grannmarie Tue 16-Sept-25 22:43:05

I'll never let you go
Why? Because I love you.
I'll always love you so
Why? Because you love me.
No broken hearts for us
Cos we love each other
And with our faith and trust
There could be no other
Why? Cos I love you
Why? Cos you love me too...

Grandyma Mon 15-Sept-25 10:19:52

I've been cheated by you since I don't know when
So I made up my mind, it must come to an end
Look at me now, will I ever learn?
I don't know how, but I suddenly lose control
There's a fire within my soul
and I can hear a bell ring
(One more look) and I forget everything, whoa
Mamma mia, here I go again
My, my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My, my, just how much I've missed you?
Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know
My, my, I could never let you go

dayvidg Sun 14-Sept-25 21:49:46

Want some whiskey in your water?
Sugar in your tea?
What's all these crazy questions they're askin' me?
This is the craziest party that could ever be
Don't turn on the lights 'cause I don't wanna see
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
That ain't the way to have fun, no (uh-uh)

Grandyma Sun 14-Sept-25 20:00:58

… I hear the train a comin', it's rolling 'round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' on
But that train keeps a rollin' on down to San Antone
… When I was just a baby my mama told me, son
Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry
… I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars
Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
But those people keep a-movin'
And that's what tortures me

Grannmarie Sun 14-Sept-25 19:53:27

Train whistle blowin'
Makes a sleepy noise
Underneath the blankets
Go all the girls and boys
Rockin', rollin', ridin',
Out along the bay
All bound for Morningtown
Many miles away.

dayvidg Sun 14-Sept-25 19:46:48

You can catch it if you want a ride
Don't you worry if it pass you by
You can catch it if you want a ride
Don't you worry if it pass you by
Lord you know the reason why
I'm on this train till I die
The train I ride goes to God knows where
I don't know and I don't care
The train I ride goes to God knows where
I don't know and I don't care
If you ain't got money then don't despair
'Cause you don't have to pay no fare
Please now brother don't you ride this train
Ride the wrong rails, live your life in vain
Please now brother don't you ride this train
Ride the wrong rails, live your life in vain

Grandyma Sun 14-Sept-25 18:15:47

Freight train, freight train goin' so fast
Freight train, freight train goin' so fast
I don't know what train he's on
Won't you tell me where he's gone?
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Don't know where he's headin' for
What he's done against the law
Got no future, got no hope
Just nothin' but the rope

They sat together in the park as the evening sky grew dark
She looked at him he felt a spark tingle to his bones
It was when he felt alone and wished that he'd gone straight
And watched out for a simple twist of fate

They walked along by the old canal a little confused I remember well
And then they stopped in a strange hotel with the neon burning bright
He felt the heat of the night hit him like a freight train
And moving with a simple twist of fate

Grandyma Sat 13-Sept-25 11:20:43

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I'll wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you
With or without you
With or without you
Through the storm, we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you
With or without you
With or without you, ah-ah
I can't live with or without you
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give, and you give
And you give yourself away
My hands are tied, my body bruised
She got me with nothing to win
And nothing left to lose
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give, and you give
And you give yourself away
With or without you
With or without you, ohh
I can't live with or without you
With or without you
With or without you, ohh
I can't live with or without you
With or without you

dayvidg Thu 11-Sept-25 18:40:14

Well I can't forget this evenin', and your face when you were leavin'
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile, but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows

Well I can't forget tomorrow when I think of all my sorrow
I had you there, but then I let you go
And now it's only fair that I should let you know
What you should know

I can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give anymore
I can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give anymore

Grandyma Thu 11-Sept-25 10:32:16

Just kiss me once and kiss me twice
Then kiss me once again
It's been a long, long time
Haven't felt like this, my dear
Since can't remember when
It's been a long, long time
You'll never know how many dreams
I've dreamed about you
Or just how empty they all seemed without you
So kiss me once, then kiss me twice
Then kiss me once again
It's been a long, long time

dayvidg Wed 10-Sept-25 16:52:20

Let me wrap you in my warm and tender love, yeah
Let me wrap you in my warm and tender love
Oh, I loved you for a long, long time
Darling, please say you'll be mine
And let me wrap you in my warm and tender love

Grandyma Tue 09-Sept-25 18:23:22

Let the music play
I just wanna dance the night away
Yeah right here, right here, where I'm gonna stay
All night long
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-wee!
Let the music play on
Just until I feel this misery is gone
Movin', kickin', groovin'
Keep the music strong
On and on and on, and on and on and on
And on and on and on and on, and on and on and on...

I'm out here dancing, and still - huh!
I can't erase the things I feel
The tender love we used to share
Seems it like it's no longer there
I, I've got to hide what's killing me inside

dayvidg Tue 09-Sept-25 18:09:02

Well, my friends, the time has come
Raise the roof and have some fun
Throw away the work to be done
Let the music play on

Everybody sing, everybody dance
Lose yourself in wild romance
We're going to party, karambo, fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along
We're going to party, karambo, fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along

All night long (all night), all night (all night)
