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

Hold me tight don't let me go
Oh oh no
Because I love you and I think that you know
Do you Know?
With your love light shining
Every cloud's got a silver lining
So hold me close
Don't let me go

Grannmarie Sun 08-Jun-25 07:43:02

You're everywhere and nowhere baby
Thats where you're at
Going down a bumpy hillside
In your hippy hat
Flying across the country
And getting fat
Saying ' Everything is groovy '
When your tyres are flat!

And it's hi ho silver lining
Everywhere you go
And baby, I see your sun is shining
But I don't make a fuss,
Though it's obvious.

Wild thing
You make my heart sing
You make everything groovy
Wild thing

Wild thing I think I love you
But I wanna know for sure
So come on and hold me tight
I love you

Wild thing
You make my heart sing
You make everything groovy
Wild thing

I was sleeping and right in the middle of a good dream
Like all at once I wake up from something that keeps knocking at my brain
Before I go insane I hold my pillow to my head
And spring up in my bed screaming out the words I dread
I think I love you (I think I love you)
This morning I woke up with this feeling
I didn't know how to deal with and so I just decided to myself
I'd hide it to myself and never talk about it
And did not go and shout it when you walked into the room
I think I love you (I think I love you)
I think I love you so what am I so afraid of
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of a love there is no cure for
I think I love you isn't that what life is made of
Though it worries me to say that I never felt this way

dayvidg Sun 08-Jun-25 17:07:08

I didn't know what day it was
When you walked into the room
I said hello unnoticed
You said goodbye too soon

Breezing through the clientele
Spinning yarns that were so lyrical
I really must confess right here
The attraction was purely physical, oh

I took all those habits of yours
That in the beginning were hard to accept
Your fashion sense, Beardsly prints
I put down to experience

The big bosomed lady with the Dutch accent
Who tried to change my point of view
Her ad lib lines were well rehearsed
But my heart cried out for you

You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You'll be my breath should I grow old
You are my lover, you're my best friend
You're in my soul

Grandyma Mon 09-Jun-25 19:55:42

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

Grannmarie Mon 09-Jun-25 21:12:11

Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London,
I'll show you something
To make you change your mind.

London calling to the faraway towns
Now war is declared and the battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboards you boys and girls
London calling now don't look to us
Phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust
London calling see we ain't got no swing
Except for the ring of the truncheon thing

The ice age is coming the sunset zooming in
Meltdown expected the wheat growing thin
Engines stop running but I have no fear
Cause London is drowning and I live by the rivet

dayvidg Tue 10-Jun-25 16:11:37

I live by the river
And I hide my house away
Then just like the river
I can change my ways
Oh, if you come to love me
You would stay forever
Inside my heart
Inside my dreams
And time will fade
In time we'll love

In the street we walk as beggars
In the alley faithless kings
Ah, but it's the truth of life
That chains us in between
Those lost moments we steal
To keep our love alive
And our prize so tired after all the pain
And time will fade
In time we'll love

Grandyma Wed 11-Jun-25 10:06:01

Take these chains from my heart and set me free
You've grown cold and no longer care for me
All my faith in you is gone but the heartaches linger on
Take these chains from my heart and set me free
Take these tears from my eyes and let me see
Just a spark of the love that used to be
If you love somebody new let me find a new love too
Take these chains from my heart and set me free

dayvidg Wed 11-Jun-25 16:42:29

Set me free why don't cha babe
Get out of my life why don't cha babe
'coz you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin'on
You don't really need me
But you keep me hangin'on

Grandyma Thu 12-Jun-25 09:47:08

I'm in the phone booth, it's the one across the hall
If you don't answer, I'll just ring it off the wall
I know he's there, but I just had to call
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
I heard your mother, now she's going out the door
Did she go to work or just go to the store?
All those things she said, I told you to ignore
Oh, why can't we talk again?
Oh, why can't we talk again?
Oh, why can't we talk again?
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone

It's twenty years now since our Kid came free
Oh I remember August '53
But it wasn't quite like they said
With that behind you, you can't plan ahead
Yes it's the same old story
They say you're free, but don't worry
What they said's not so
They'll never let you go!"
Never a word could be heard
Not even the sound of a bird
Singing it over again, telling a different story
Never the same as before
See the summer going out by the door
And now that you've paid for those lies
Get another disguise

Grandyma Fri 13-Jun-25 12:22:24

Judy in disguise
Well, that's what you are
Lemonade pie
With your brand-new car
Cantaloupe eyes come to me tonight
Judy in disguise with glasses
Keep a-wearin' your bracelets
And your new Rara
Cross your heart, yeah
With your living bra
Chimney sweep sparrow with guise
Judy in disguise with glasses

dayvidg Fri 13-Jun-25 15:09:44

White light cut a scar in the sky
Thin line of silver
Night was all clouded with dreams
Wind made me shiver
Black and yellow pools of light
Outside my window
Luna come to me tonight
I am a prisoner
Luna glide down from the moon

Grandyma Sat 14-Jun-25 12:04:33

Maybe I'll go to Amsterdam
Or maybe I'll go to Rome
And rent me a grand piano
And put some flowers 'round my room
But let's not talk about fare-thee-wells now
The night is a starry dome
And they're playin' that scratchy rock and roll
Beneath the Matala Moon
Come on, Carey, get out your cane (Carey, get out your cane)
And I'll put on some silver (I'll put on some silver)
You're a mean old Daddy
But I like you

dayvidg Sat 14-Jun-25 16:55:41

Your dirty friends and underwear
Keep hanging 'round my room
The lonely pictures that you paint
Are creepin' to their doom
So don't look back, it is too late
No story to be told
Thеse creepin' friends you left for mе
Saying your promise to be home

You don't know what I mean
Creepin' Jean's a disease
You don't know what I mean
Creepin' Jean's a disease

Grandyma Sat 14-Jun-25 18:57:31

And so, Sally can wait
She knows it's too late as we're walkin' on by
Her soul slides away
"But don't look back in anger," I heard you say
Take me to the place where you go
Where nobody knows
If it's night or day
Please don't put your life in the hands
Of a rock 'n' roll band
Who'll throw it all away
I'm gonna start a revolution from my bed
'Cause you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside, 'cause summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
'Cause you ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

dayvidg Sun 15-Jun-25 15:30:23

I don't know who to trust no surprise
(Everyone feels so far away from me)
Happy thoughts sift through dust and the lies
(Trying not to break but I'm so tired of this deceit)

(Every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet
(All I ever think about is this)
(All the tiring time between)
(And how trying to put my trust in you just takes so much out of me)

Take everything from the inside and throw it all away
'Cause I swear for the last time I won't trust myself with you

Grandyma Sun 15-Jun-25 17:19:39

So don't throw it all away
I don't wanna be the one
Who's gonna have to beg you to stay
I don't wanna be the one to change your mind
One more time
Please stay
Don't throw it all away

Though it seems
That I just take it out on you
Don't you know?
That only you can get me through
Found the door
Now I know that you're the key
'Cause from the first time that I saw you
I thought that you may be

crazyH Sun 15-Jun-25 18:49:32

The first time, ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars
Were the gifts you gave
To the dark, and the endless skies

dayvidg Mon 16-Jun-25 14:22:24

Well I rode that ribbon highway
I saw above me the endless sky
I saw below me the golden valley
This land was made for you and me

I've roamed and rambled and followed my footsteps
Through the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
And all around me a voice was calling
This land was made for you and me

This land is your land
This land is my land
From California
To the New York island
From the Redwood Forest
To the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me

Grandyma Mon 16-Jun-25 18:58:51

I'm following in Father's footsteps
I'm following the dear old dad
He's just in front with a fine big gal
So I thought that I'd have one as well
I don't know where he's going
But when he gets there I'll be glad
I'm following in Father's footsteps
I'm following the dear old dad.

dayvidg Tue 17-Jun-25 20:26:07

Well, we know where we're goin'
But we don't know where we've been
And we know what we're knowin'
But we can't say what we've seen
And we're not little children
And we know what we want
And the future is certain
Give us time to work it out
Yeah
We're on a road to nowhere
Come on inside
Takin' that ride to nowhere
We'll take that ride

Grandyma Wed 18-Jun-25 15:24:24

On the road again
I just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is making music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
On the road again
Goin' places that I've never been
Seein' things that I may never see again
And I can't wait to get on the road again
Everybody sing
On the road again
Like a band o' gypsies, we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world keep turning our way
And our way
