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

Women know protraction
As they cut it into sections
She's just splitting
All throughout the crazy action
Counting every fraction every bird that flies

Keeps watching her eyes
He's just watching her eyes
He keeps watching her eyes
Can't stop watching her eyes
But his time is running short
Making sure of what he's got
He's not moving much
Seems so hard in this strange weather
To try to live without a lover
Or a loving touch

Grandyma Wed 03-Dec-25 15:45:37

There, running my hands through her hair
Both of us thinking how good it can be
Someone is speaking, but she doesn't know he's there
I want her everywhere
And if she's beside me, I know I need never care
But to love her is to need her everywhere
Knowing that love is to share
Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping I'm always there

The local radio says sorry time to go
But I don't sleep too well
Where are those Southern Belles
Tryin to get a telephone line through South Caroline
Your call may bring somebody down for miles around
I'm watching her eyes again
I won't use no fountain pen

The lady isn't here. The message wasn't clear
She left an hour ago, screamed from the floor below
Mother nature never gives in, she wants you to sing
But how can I go on just singing this song
My car's out of gas again
Hurry home to see my friend

Pearl's a singer
She stands up when she plays the piano
In a nightclub

Pearl's a singer
She sings songs for the lost and the lonely
Her job is entertaining folks
Singings songs and telling jokes
In a nightclub

Pearl's a singer
And they say that she once was a winner
In a contest

Pearl's a singer
And they say that she once cut a record
They played it for a week or so
On the local radio
It never made it

She wanted to be Betty Grable
But now she sits there at that beer stained table
Dreaming of the things she never got to do
All those dreams that never came true

Superman or Green Lantern ain't got a-nothin' on me
I can make like a turtle and dive for a pearl in the sea, yeah
A you can just sit there thinking on your velvet throne
'Bout all the rainbows a-you can a-have for your own
Cause I made my mind up you're going to be mine
I'll tell you right now, any trick in the book and now, baby
All that I can find

65KL Mon 01-Dec-25 03:56:05

Hey little sister what have you done
Hey little sister who's the only one
Hey little sister who's your superman
Hey sister who's the one you want
Hey little sister , shotgun
It's a nice day to start again
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again

Grandyma Sun 30-Nov-25 20:53:09

Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some loving here today, yeah

Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some loving here today, oh (Oh)

Picket lines (Sister) and picket signs (Sister)
Don't punish me (Sister) with brutality (Sister)
Talk to me (Sister), so you can see (Sister)
Oh, what's going on (What's going on)
What's going on (What's going on)
Yeah, what's going on (What's going on)
Oh, what's going on

dayvidg Sun 30-Nov-25 15:52:06

You don't know what's going on
You've been away for far too long
You can't come back and think you are still mine
You're out of touch, my baby
My poor old-fashioned baby
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time

Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Yes, you are left out, yes, you are
I said you're, left outta there without a doubt
'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're out of time

We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time

All our lives we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the world that we reached
Were just starfish on the beach

Goodbye Michelle, my little one
I was the apple of the shinning sun
Another apple out of reach
All my tears are salty
I think now I was taught to weep

dayvidg Mon 24-Nov-25 15:37:42

When I find out all the reasons
Maybe I'll find another way
Find another day
With all the changing seasons of my life
Maybe I'll get it right next time
And now that you've been broken down
Got your head out of the clouds
You're back down on the ground
And you don't talk so loud
And you don't walk so proud
Any more, and what for

Grandyma Sun 23-Nov-25 22:58:08

I took my love, I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
'Til the landslide brought me down
Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changin' ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
Mmm
Well, I've been 'fraid of changin'
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm gettin' older, too

65KL Sun 23-Nov-25 21:55:30

I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change

dayvidg Sun 23-Nov-25 19:44:51

Through the mirror of my mind
Time after time
I see reflections of you and me
Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me
Oh, I'm all alone now
No love to shield me
Trapped in a world
That's a distorted reality

Grandyma Sun 23-Nov-25 17:19:19

There's a ghost in my house
The ghost of your memories
The ghost of the love you took from me
Where our love used to be
Only shadows from the past I see
Time can't seem to erase
The vision of your smiling face
Though you found someone new
I can't get over you
There's a ghost in my house
I can't hide
(Ghost in my house)
From the ghost of your love that's inside
(Ghost in my house)

Grannmarie Sun 23-Nov-25 00:15:11

If you could read my mind love,
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free
As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see

Robert De Niro's waiting
Talking Italian
Robert De Niro's waiting
Talking Italian
Robert De Niro's waiting
Talking Italian (Talking Italian)
Robert De Niro's waiting
I don't need a boy
I've got a man of steel
Don't come any closer
I don't wanna feel (Ooh)
You're breathing, you're touching
But nothing's for free
I never want this to happen to me
Don't try to change me, you're wasting your time
Now I've got something much better in mind

dayvidg Sat 22-Nov-25 17:23:16

A bottle of white, a bottle of red
Perhaps a bottle of rose instead
We'll get a table near the street
In our old familiar place
You and I, face to face
A bottle of red, a bottle of white
It all depends upon your appetite
I'll meet you any time you want
In our Italian Restaurant

Grandyma Sat 22-Nov-25 15:47:52

You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant
You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant
Walk right in it's around the back
Just a half a mile from the railroad track
You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah-smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
He called Alice
When she was just small

65KL Thu 20-Nov-25 05:19:18

Sally called when she got the word
And she said 'I suppose you've heard about Alice
When I rushed to the window
And I looked outside
And I hardly could believe my eyes
As a big limousine rolled up
Into Alice's drive

Oh I don't know why she's leaving
Or where she's gonna go
I guess she's got her reasons
But I just don't want to know
Cos for twenty four years
I've been living next door to Alice
Twenty four years just waiting for a chance
To tell her how ifeel and maybe get a second glance
Now I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice

Grandyma Thu 20-Nov-25 00:21:02

Listen
All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally, ride
All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally, ride
All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally, ride. Huh
All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally, ride

One of these early mornings, baby, you gonna be wiping your weeping eyes
Huh, what I said now?

Look it here.
I bought you a brand new mustang nineteen sixty five. Huh
Now you come around signifying a woman, you don't wanna let me ride
Mustang Sally, now baby, oh Lord, guess you better slow that mustang down
Huh, oh Lord. Look here
You been running all over the town
Oh! I got to put your flat feet on the ground. Huh, What I said now?

dayvidg Wed 19-Nov-25 15:44:02

Gonna tell Aunt Mary about Uncle John
He claimed he has the misery but he's had a lot of fun
Oh baby, yeah, baby, whoo-ooh, hoo-ooh, baby
Havin' me some fun tonight, yeah
Well long, tall Sally, she's built for speed, she got
Everything that Uncle John need
Oh baby, yeah, baby, whoo-ooh, hoo-ooh, baby
Havin' me some fun tonight, yeah

Grandyma Wed 19-Nov-25 12:09:35

Sally, Sally, pride of our alley
Sally, Sally...
Don't ever wander
Away from the alley and me
Sally, Sally...
Marry me Sally
And happy forever I'll be
When skies are blue
You're beguiling
And when they're grey
You're still smiling, smi-i-iling
Sally, Sally...
Pride of our alley
You're more than
The whole world too-oo me...

dayvidg Tue 18-Nov-25 17:53:02

But if anything should happen and my plans go wrong
Should I stray to the house on the hill
Let it be known that my intentions were good
I'd be singing in my alley if I could

And if I'm goin' away and it's my turn to go
Should the blood run cold in my veins
Just one favor I'd be askin' of you
Don't bury me here it's too cold

Take me back, carry me back down to Gasoline Alley where I started from
Take me back, won't cha carry me home down to
Gasoline Alley where I started from

Mull of Kintyre
Oh, mist rolling in from the sea
My desire is always to be here
Oh , Mull of Kintyre

Far have I traveled and much have I seen
Dark distant mountains with valleys of green
Past painted deserts the sunsets on fire
As he carries me home to the Mull of Kintyre
