Frank Sinatra

Summer Wind

 

The summer wind came blowin' in

From across the sea

It lingered there to touch your hair

And walk with me

 

All summer long

we sang a song

And then we strolled that golden sand

Two sweethearts and the summer wind

 

Like painted kites, those days and nights

They went flying by

The world was new beneath the blue

Umbrella sky

 

Then softer than a piper man

One day, it called to you

I lost you I lost you to

The summer wind

 

The autumn wind

And the winter winds

They have come and gone

And still those days

Those lonely days

They go on and on

And guess what sighs

His lullabies through nights that never end...

My fickled friend,

The summer wind

The summer wind ... warm summer wind

 

... Mmm the summer wind

 

:angel:

What'[s the name of this song? I don't remember, but its the Big Bopper.

 

 

~

Chantilly lace and a pretty face

Pony tail hangin down

A wiggle when she walk

a giggle when talk

Oh, baby that's a what I like

~

 

AND alternately

 

~

Blue moon, you saw me standin alone

Without a dream in my heart

without a love of my own

~

 

 

 

What it is with the oldies today? Too much KLUV.

 

Frank Sinatra, gorgeous sunset, and a sailboat. That seems vagueley familiar. :angel:

Chantilly Lace

Big Bopper

 

Hello baby, yeah, this is the Big Bopper speaking

Oh you sweet thing

Do I what

Will I what

Oh baby you know what I like

 

[Chorus:]

Chantilly lace and a pretty face

And a pony tail hanging down

That wiggle in the walk and giggle in the talk

Makes the world go round

 

There ain't nothing in the world like a big eyed girl

That makes me act so funny, make me spend my money

Make me feel real loose like a long necked goose

Like a girl, oh baby that's what I like

 

What's that baby

But, but, but, oh honey

But, oh baby you know what I like

 

[Chorus]

 

What's that honey

Pick you up at 8 and don't be late

But baby I ain't got no money honey

Oh alright baby you know what I like

Frank Sinatra - Blue Moon

 

Blue Moon

You saw me standing alone

Without a dream in my heart

Without a love of my own

Blue Moon

You know just what I was there for

You heard me saying a prayer for

Someone I really could care for

And then there suddenly appeared before me

The only one my arms will hold

I heard somebody whisper please adore me

And when I looked to the Moon it turned to gold

Blue Moon

Now I'm no longer alone

Without a dream in my heart

Without a love of my own

And then there suddenly appeared before me

The only one my arms will ever hold

I heard somebody whisper please adore me

And when I looked the Moon had turned to gold

Blue moon

Now I'm no longer alone

Without a dream in my heart

Without a love of my own

Blue moon

Now I'm no longer alone

Without a dream in my heart

Without a love of my own

Oasis Don't Go Away

 

Cold and frosty morning there's not a lot to say

About the things caught in my mind

And as the day was dawning my plane flew away

With all the things caught in my mind

 

I don't wanna be there when you're ...

Coming down

I don't wanna be there when you hit the ground

 

So dont go away, say what you say

Say that you'll stay

Forever and a day ... In the time of my life

Cos I need more time, yes I need more time just to make things right

 

Damn my situation and the games I have to play

With all the things caught in my mind

Damn my education I can't find the words to say

With all the things caught in my mind

 

Me and you whats going on?

All we seem to know is how to show

The feelings that are wrong

We're Going To Be Friends- The White Stripes

 

Fall is here, hear the yell

back to school, ring the bell

brand new shoes, walking blues

climb the fence, books and pens

I can tell that we're going to be friends

 

Walk with me, Suzy Lee

through the park and by the tree

we will rest upon the ground

and look at all the bugs we found

then safely walk to school

without a sound

 

Well here we are, no one else

we walked to school all by ourselves

there's dirt on our uniforms

from chasing all the ants and worms

we clean up and now its time to learn

 

Numbers, letters, learn to spell

nouns, and books, and show and tell

at playtime we will throw the ball

back to class, through the hall

teacher marks our height

against the wall

 

And we don't notice any time pass

we don't notice anything

we sit side by side in every class

teacher thinks that I sound funny

but she likes the way you sing

 

Tonight I'll dream while in my bed

when silly thoughts go through my head

about the bugs and alphabet

and when I wake tomorrow I'll bet

that you and I will walk together again

cause I can tell that we're going to be friends

Gwen Stefani The Real Thing

 

I've seen your face a thousand times

Have all your stories memorized

I've kissed your lips a million ways

But I still love to have you around

 

I've held you too many times to count

I think I know you inside out

And we're together most days

But I still love to have you around

 

And you're the one I want and it's not just a phase

And you're the one I trust, our love is the real thing

 

Don't go away

My love (my love)

I want you to stay

In my life

Don't go away

My lover (my love)

I'm happiest when we spend time

 

You're a salty water, ocean wave

You knock me down, you kiss my face

I know the storms will always come

But I still love to have you around

 

And Heaven knows what will come next

So emotional, you're so complex

A rollercoaster, built to crash

But I still love to have you around

 

You're the one I want and it's not just a phase

You're the one I trust, our love is the real thing

 

Don't go away

My love (my love)

I want you to stay

In my life

Don't go away

My lover (my love)

I'm happiest when we spend time (it's only you and I)

 

It's you there when I close my eyes

And you in the morning

I never thought you'd still be mine

Or I'd really need to have you around

 

Don't go away

My love (my love)

I want you to stay

In my life

Don't go away

My lover (my love)

I need you, you're my love supply

 

Don't go away

My love (you're my love supply)

I want you to stay

In my life (every day, every night)

Don't go away

My lover (you're my love supply)

I need you, you're my love supply

From Rent

 

since the song is long, i'll just post the part that stuck in my head lol

 

 

 

COLLINS

 

In honor of the death of Bohemia an impromptu salon will commence

 

immediately following dinner

 

Mimi Marquez, clad only in bubble wrap, will perform her famous lawn

 

chair-handcuff dance to the sounds of iced tea being stirred

 

 

 

ROGER

 

Mark Cohen will preview his new documentary about his inability to hold an

erection on high holy days

 

 

 

(ROGER picks up an electric guitar and starts to tune it)

 

 

 

MARK

 

Maureen Johnson, back from her spectacular one-night engagement at the

 

eleventh street lot,

 

Will sing native american tribal chants backwards through her vocoder,

 

While accompanying herself on the electric cello

 

Which she has never studied

 

MARK

 

Roger will attempt to write a bittersweet, evocative song

 

(ROGER picks up a guitar and plays Musetta's Theme)

 

That doesn't remind us of "Musetta's Waltz"

 

 

 

COLLINS

 

Angel Dumott Schunard will now model the latest fall fashions from Paris

 

While accompanying herself on the 10 gallon plastic pickle tub

 

 

 

ANGEL

 

And Collins will recount his exploits as an anarchist

 

Including the successful reprogramming of the M.I.T. virtual reality equipment

 

To self-destruct, as it broadcast the words:

 

 

 

ALL

 

"Actual reality -- Act Up -- Fight AIDS"

Janis Joplin ~Piece of my Heart~

 

(Come on…)

 

Didn't I make you feel like you were the only man, well yeah,

An' didn't I give you nearly everything that a woman possibly can ?

Honey, you know I did!

And each time I tell myself that I, well I think I've had enough,

But I'm gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough.

 

I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,

Take another little piece of my heart now, baby, (break a..)

Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah. (have a..)

Hey! Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, yeah.

You know you got it if it makes you feel good,

Oh yes indeed.

 

You're out on the street looking good, and baby,

Deep down in your heart I guess you know that it ain't right,

Never never never never never never never hear me when I cry at night.

Baby, I cry all the time!

And each time I tell myself that I, well I can't stand the pain,

But when you hold me in your arms, I'll sing it once again.

 

I'll say come on, come on, come on, come on, yeah take it!

Take another little piece of my heart now, baby. (break a..)

Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, (come on…)

Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, yeah.

Well, You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good

 

I need to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,

Take another little piece of my heart now, baby. (break a…)

Break another little bit of my heart, honey, yeah. (have a)

Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,

You know you got it (waaaaahhh)

Take a…Take another little piece of my heart now, baby. (break a…)

Break another little bit of my heart, and darling, yeah yeah (have a)

Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,

You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good

Closer- Nine Inch Nails

 

You let me violate you, you let me desecrate you

You let me penetrate you, you let me complicate you

Help me I broke apart my insides, help me I’ve got no

Soul to tell

Help me the only thing that works for me, help me get

Away from myself

I want to fuck you like an animal

I want to feel you from the inside

I want to fuck you like an animal

My whole existence is flawed

You get me closer to god

You can have my isolation, you can have the hate that

It brings

You can have my absence of faith, you can have my

Everything

Help me tear down my reason, help me its’ your sex i

Can smell

Help me you make me perfect, help me become somebody

Else

I want to fuck you like an animal

I want to feel you from the inside

I want to fuck you like an animal

My whole existence is flawed

You get me closer to god

Through every forest, above the trees

Within my stomach, scraped off my knees

I drink the honey inside your hive

You are the reason I stay alive

Babylon - David Gray

 

Friday night I'm going nowhere

All the lights are changing green to red

Turning over TV stations

Situations running through my head

Well looking back through time

You know it's clear that I've been blind

I've been a fool

To ever open up my heart

To all that jealousy, that bitterness, that ridicule

 

Saturday I'm running wild

And all the lights are changing red to green

Moving through the crowd I'm pushing

Chemicals all rushing through my bloodstream

Only wish that you were here

You know I'm seeing it so clear

I've been afraid

To tell you how I really feel

Admit to some of those bad mistakes I've made

 

If you want it

Come and get it

Crying out loud

The love that I was

Giving you was

Never in doubt

Let go your heart

Let go your head

And feel it now

 

Babylon, Babylon

 

Sunday all the lights of London

Shining , Sky is fading red to blue

I'm kicking through the Autumn leaves

And wondering where it is you might be going to

Turning back for home

You know I'm feeling so alone

I can't believe

Climbing on the stair

I turn around to see you smiling there

In front of me

 

 

If you want it

Come and get it

Crying out loud

The love that I was

Giving you was

Never in doubt

And feel it now

Let go your heart

Let go your head

And feel it now

Let go your heart

Let go your head

And feel it now

Let go your heart

Let go your head

And feel it now

Let go your heart

Let go your head

And feel it now

 

Babylon, Babylon, Babylon

This one was running through my brain last night but I was too lazy to get up and post about it.

 

Loungefly, Stone Temple Pilots

 

It's ok, it's ok, ok relieve me

pins in me, pins in me, in me you kill me

the lounge fly

the lounge fly

the fly you bring me

I think I'm free but the dogs they

won't release me

 

I can't give what I take away

and the other understands

she said she'd be my woman

she said she'd be my man

I can't live this way

please refill my soul

 

don't have a nickel or a dollar but

you feed me

my bottle's empty but you always

refuel me

I feel I'm sinking but you won't

let me drown me

I wanna fuck, I wanna fuck

but do you need me?

 

I can't give what I take away

and the other understands

she said she'd be my woman

she said she'd be my man

I can't live this way

please refill my soul

 

 

 

 

And this one while I was taking a shower this morning. Why? I don't know, cause I'm not even a fan.

 

 

Bat Country-Avenged Sevenfold

 

He who makes a beast out of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.

 

Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay.

I tried to drive all through the night,

the heat stroke ridden weather, the barren empty sights.

No oasis here to see, the sand is singing deathless words to (me).

 

Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone).

Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction.

My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone).

No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention.

 

As I adjust to my new sights the rarely tired lights will take me to new heights.

My hand is on the trigger I'm ready to ignite.

Tomorrow might not make it but everything's all right.

Mental fiction follows me; show me what it's like to be set (free).

 

Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone).

Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction.

My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone).

No one can save me and you what I want the attention.

 

So sorry you're not here I've been sane too long my vision's so unclear.

Now take a trip with me but don't be surprised when things aren't what they seem.

 

Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay.

These eyes won't see the same, after I flip today.

 

Sometimes I don't know why we'd rather live than die,

we look up towards the sky for answers to our lives.

We may get some solutions but most just pass us by,

don't want your absolution cause I can't make it right.

I'll make a beast out of myself, gets rid of all the pain of being a (man).

 

Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone).

Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction.

My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone).

No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention.

Heard it on the radio at 5am... 5 AM!!! a lil early for catchy songs , way to set up the day...

 

 

Once in a Lifetime

-----------------------

 

And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack

And you may find yourself in another part of the world

And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile

And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful

wife

And you may ask yourself-Well...How did I get here?

 

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down

Letting the days go by/water flowing underground

Into the blue again/after the money's gone

Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

 

And you may ask yourself

How do I work this?

And you may ask yourself

Where is that large automobile?

And you may tell yourself

This is not my beautiful house!

And you may tell yourself

This is not my beautiful wife!

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down

Letting the days go by/water flowing underground

Into the blue again/after the money's gone

Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

 

Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...

Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...

Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...

 

Water dissolving...and water removing

There is water at the bottom of the ocean

Carry the water at the bottom of the ocean

Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean!

 

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down

Letting the days go by/water flowing underground

Into the blue again/in the silent water

Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground.

 

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down

Letting the days go by/water flowing underground

Into the blue again/after the money's gone

Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

 

And you may ask yourself

What is that beautiful house?

And you may ask yourself

Where does that highway go?

And you may ask yourself

Am I right?...Am I wrong?

And you may tell yourself

MY GOD!...WHAT HAVE I DONE?

 

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down

Letting the days go by/water flowing underground

Into the blue again/in the silent water

Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground.

 

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down

Letting the days go by/water flowing underground

Into the blue again/after the money's gone

Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

 

Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...

Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...

Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...

By eric clapton, jack bruce and pete brown

 

It’s getting near dawn,

When lights close their tired eyes.

I’ll soon be with you my love,

To give you my dawn surprise.

I’ll be with you darling soon,

I’ll be with you when the stars start falling.

 

I’ve been waiting so long

To be where I’m going

In the sunshine of your love.

 

I’m with you my love,

The light’s shining through on you.

Yes, I’m with you my love,

It’s the morning and just we two.

I’ll stay with you darling now,

I’ll stay with you till my seas are dried up.

 

Chorus

 

Second verse

 

I’ve been waiting so long

I’ve been waiting so long

I’ve been waiting so long

To be where I’m going

In the sunshine of your love.

Solitude still holds you

I don't have to fake the blues

And all you want is refuge

 

Sugar is the heart's food

Sugar is the heart's food

 

Fathers don't know all the rules

Kicked around, I know you know the cruelty of love

And if you could have just one thing for your birthday, what would it be?

 

Maybe that one wrong word would not make you bad

And you could say just how you feel

And they would still want you around

And maybe that you could make mistakes

And that it would still be okay

And they would still want you around

 

Thoughts are often ridiculed

Feelings often misunderstood

And all you do is rescue one little piece of your heart

And feed it sugar

And it will grow

So powerful and strongYou won't know what to do with all the warmth

You won't even remember all the harm

 

And it will be so much easier to lead

The life you always wanted

The life you always should have had

 

[sweet Heart + Hannah Fury]

Since people just wont stop

 

a song stuck in both my head and HunterCrow's

 

Title: Daniel

Album: Don't Shoot Me, I'm Only The Piano Player

Artist: Elton John

 

Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane

I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain

Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye

God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes

 

They say Spain is pretty though I've never been

Well Daniel says it's the best place that he's ever seen

Oh and he should know, he's been there enough

Lord I miss Daniel, oh I miss him so much

 

Daniel my brother you are older than me

Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal

Your eyes have died but you see more than I

Daniel you're a star in the face of the sky

 

Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane

I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain

Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye

God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes

Oh God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes

Gimme 3 Steps as recorded by

Lynyrd Skynyrd

 

I was cutting the rug

Down at a place called the jug

With a girl named linda lu

When in walked a man

With a gun in his hand

And he was looking for you know who.

 

He said, ’hey there fellow,

With the hair colored yellow,

Watcha tryin’ to prove?

’cause that’s my woman there

And I’m a man who cares

And this might be all for you.’

 

I was scared and fearing for my life.

I was shakin’ like a leaf on a tree.

’cause he was lean, mean,

Big and bad, lord,

Pointin’ that gun at me.

 

I said, ’wait a minute, mister,

I didn’t even kiss her.

Don’t want no trouble with you.

And I know you don’t owe me

But I wish you’d let me

Ask one favor from you.’

 

(chorus)

’won’t you give me three steps,

Gimme three steps mister,

Gimme three steps towards the door?

Gimme three steps

Gimme three steps mister,

And you’ll never see me no more.’

 

Well the crowd cleared away

And I began to pray

As the water fell on the floor.

And I’m telling you son,

Well, it ain’t no fun

Staring straight down a forty-four.

 

Well he turned and screamed at linda lu

And that’s the break I was looking for.

And you could hear me screaming a mile away

As I was headed out towards the door.

 

’won’t you give me three steps,

Gimme three steps mister,

Gimme three steps towards the door?

Gimme three steps

Gimme three steps mister,

And you’ll never see me no more.’

Forest For The Trees- Huey Lewis

 

When you're a young man, down and out

You really need someone to help you out

It looks like life or death is your only choice

It's really hard to see

The forest for the trees

The forest for the trees

 

And when you get angry and everything's black or white

You should know that it isn't that simple, no one's always right

You know that youre life it worth living

You gotta start taking if no one else is giving

And if you're not afraid to open your eyes

You may be pleasantly surprised

Thigs are never as bad as they seem

You just gotta learn to see

The forest for the trees

 

So if you need somebody, tell them please

If you want someone, get up off your knees

Things are never as bad as they seem

You just gotta learn to see

The forest for the trees

Artist: Dean Martin

Song: That'S Amore

Album: Best Of Dean Martin

 

 

(In Napoli where love is king

When boy meets girl here's what they say)

 

When the moon hits you eye like a big pizza pie

That's amore

When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine

That's amore

Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling

And you'll sing "Vita bella"

Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay

Like a gay tarantella

 

When the stars make you drool just like a pasta fagiole

That's amore

When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet

You're in love

When you walk down in a dream but you know you're not

Dreaming signore

Scuzza me, but you see, back in old Napoli

That's amore

 

When the moon hits you eye like a big pizza pie

That's amore

When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine

That's amore

Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling

And you'll sing "Vita bella"

Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay

Like a gay tarantella

 

When the stars make you drool just like a pasta fagiole

That's amore

When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet

You're in love

When you walk down in a dream but you know you're not

Dreaming signore

Scuzza me, but you see, back in old Napoli

That's amore

Lucky fella

 

When the stars make you drool just like a pasta fagiole

That's amore

When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet

You're in love

When you walk down in a dream but you know you're not

Dreaming signore

Scuzza me, but you see, back in old Napoli

That's amore, (amore)

That's amore

My Ding-A-Ling

Chuck Berry

 

When I was a little biddy boy

My grandmother bought me a cute little toy

Silver bells hanging on a string

She told me it was my ding-a-ling-a-ling

 

Oh

 

My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling I want you play with My Ding-A-Ling

My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling I want you play with My Ding-A-Ling

 

And then Mama took me to Grammar school

But I stopped off in the Vestibule

Everytime that bell would ring

You'd catch me playing with my ding-a-ling

 

My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling I want you play with My Ding-A-Ling

My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling I want you play with My Ding-A-Ling

 

Once I was climbing the garden wall,

I slipped and had a terrible fall

I fell so hard I heard bells ring,

But held on to My ding-a-ling

 

My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling I want you play with My Ding-A-Ling

My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling I want you play with My Ding-A-Ling

 

OnceI was swimming cross turtle creek

Man them snappers all around my feet

Sure was hard swimming cross that thing

With both hands holding my dingalingaling

 

My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling I want you play with My Ding-A-Ling

My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling I want you play with My Ding-A-Ling

 

Hmm this here song it ain't so bad

The cutest little song you ever had

And those of you who will not sing

You must be playing with your own Ding-a-ling

 

My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling I want you play with My Ding-A-Ling

My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling I want you play with My Ding-A-Ling

 

Your Ding-A-Ling Your Ding-A-Ling we saw you playing with your Ding-A-Ling

My Ding-A-Ling everybody's ding I want to play with My Ding-A-Ling

My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling I want to play with My Ding-A-Ling

The Downeaster 'Alexa'

- Billy Joel

_____________________________

 

Well I'm on the Downeaster Alexa

And I'm cruising through Block Island Sound

I have charted a course to the Vineyard

But tonight I am Nantucket bound

 

We took on diesel back in Montauk yesterday

And left this morning from the bell in Gardiner's Bay

Like all the locals here I've had to sell my home

Too proud to leave I worked my fingers to the bone

 

So I could own my Downeaster Alexa

And I go where the ocean is deep

There are giants out there in the canyons

And a good captain can't fall asleep

 

I've got bills to pay and children who need clothes

I know there's fish out there but where God only knows

They say these waters aren't what they used to be

But I've got people back on land who count on me

 

So if you see my Downeaster Alexa

And if you work with the rod and the reel

Tell my wife I am trolling Atlantis

And I still have my hands on the wheel

 

Now I drive my Downeaster Alexa

More and more miles from shore every year

Since they tell me I can't sell no stripers

And there's no luck in swordfishing here

 

I was a bayman like my father was before

Can't make a living as a bayman anymore

There ain't much future for a man who works the sea

But there ain't no island left for islanders like me ...
