this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
N.B. the Lionel Richie song I mean, not you....as if I need to say that.
I got no idea how this happened! But you're not me da James!
Anyway you just can't mention Marshall in my presence without me thinking of Dido. She's Welsh isn't she? As soon as I saw it I thought of this and was pretty excited to see they actually had it!

English girls are pretty when they play guitar
Crazy like a day just a-breaking I ain't sure what for
Ain't got a mother or father or place to fall
She got a brother in the (blues / booze), but he doesn't know the blues at all
Said you didn't love me, it was right on time, I was just about to tell you that I care alright
Said you didn't love me, didn't want a thing, English girls can be so mean
She's got eyes as pretty as a pair of jewels
Falling down a canyon like a couple drunken criminals
She had a messy bedroom on the edge of town
I ain't ever been good enough to ever keep around
Said you didn't love me, it was right on time, I was just about to tell you that it'll be alright
Said you didn't love me, didn't mean a thing, English girls can be so mean
But, ohh, look at you now
Ohh, look at you now
Mmmm, best I've ever seen
Just a tall drink of water, just a-pourin' on down the sink
Tall drink of water, she's a Norfolk waterfall
Little daybreaker, she's a shootin' like a cannonball
Crazy like a rocket when you're coming through my radio
Kept me in your bed till the wintertime turned to fall
Fall time coming, and I guess my little bird can sing
Come on Elizabeth, a come on a Bethany
Come on further, I'm tired and I want to sleep
English Girls Can Be So Mean Lyrics on http://www.lyricsmania.com
My little dove do, and I guess she was done with me
Said you didn't love me, it was right on time, I was just about to tell you that it'll be alright
Said you didn't love me, didn't want a thing, English girls can be so mean
But ohh, look at you now
Ohh, look at you now
Mmmm, best I've ever seen
Just a tall drink of water, just a-pourin' on down the sink
Kiss me on the lips when my heart just laughed it off
Words may move, but there never moving fast enough
Celebrate the differences, I celebrate the songs you sing
Just three words, my love: you meant everything
You meant everything
You meant everything
You meant everything

hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
On a lonely day I look out on the freeway
I can fantasize about the car I drive
I Don't need the light on I can find my way
It's been so long now I have to say
Chorus:
I'm going to California
I'm gonna live the life
Sipping on tequilla
Night after night
Dreaming of the moment
When everything looks right
A little bit of love goes a long way tonight
I'm on my way heading for the sun
That's where I'll stay I'm never going back home
Do you ever feel like you need a change?
Hang out where no one knows your name
Chorus:
I'm going to California
I'm gonna live the life
Sipping on tequilla
Night after night
Dreaming of the moment
When everything looks right
A little bit of love goes a long way tonight
Would you like to meet me there?
We'll be dancing on the sand
These days will never end
No they'll go on and on and on
On a lonely day I look out on the freeway
I can fantasize about the car I drive
I Don't need the light on I can find my way
It's been so long now I have to say
It's been so long now I have to say
Chorus: (X2)
I'm going to California
I'm gonna live the life

Come on everybody clap your hands
Now you're looking good

We gotta do the twist and it goes like this
Come on let's twist again like we did last summer
Yea, let's twist again like we did last year
Do you remember when things were really hummin'
Yea, let's twist again, twistin' time is here

Oh baby make me know you love me so then
Come on let's twist again like we did last summer
Yea, let's twist again, twistin' time is here

Not sure about Dido being Welsh, but I am>>! What? You knew that? Anyway, I instantly thought of these lunatics, as they also do a version of Stan.....you are about to be entertained.
Well I had a look about and I can't see anything about Dido being Welsh but I'm sure she mentioned something about it in an interview once. Maybe I'm remembering it wrong, coz it seems she's English. But I thought she said something about Welsh ancestory or something.
As IF we could forget you're welsh!
Anyway, the man did say Blur, which of course immediately got me thinking of my favorite Damon Albarn efforts :

Anyway, the man did say Blur, which of course immediately got me thinking of my favorite Damon Albarn efforts :
He could’ve tuned in, tuned in
But he tuned out
A bad time, nothing could save him
Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out
He got up outta there, ran for hundreds of miles
He made it to the ocean, had a smoke in a tree
The wind rose up, set him down on his knee
A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw
Delivered him wings, "Hey, look at him now"
Arms wide open with the sea as his floor
Oh, power, oh
He's.. flying
Whole…
High.. wide, oh
He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share
His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere
But first he was stripped and then he was stabbed
By faceless men, well, fuckers
He still stands
And he still gives his love, he just gives it away
The love he receives is the love that is saved
And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
A human being that was given to fly
...and that in turn Cate, made me think of this little belter...
If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be travelling on, now,
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see.
But, if I stayed here with you, girl,
Things just couldn't be the same.
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now,
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I can't change.
Bye, bye, its been a sweet love.
Though this feeling I can't change.
But please don't take it badly,
'Cause Lord knows I'm to blame.
But, if I stayed here with you girl,
Things just couldn't be the same.
Cause I'm as free as a bird now,
And this bird you'll never change.
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I can't change.
Lord help me, I can't change.

and this from mr tom petty:
She’s a good girl,loves her mamma, loves je -sus, and america too.
She’s a good girl, crazy ‘bout elvis, loves horses, and her boyfriend too.
And it's a long day, livin’ in reseda, there’s a freeway, runnin’ thru the yard
And i’m a bad boy, ‘cause i don’t even miss her, i’m a bad boy, for breaking
And i'm free, free falling.
Yeah i'm free, free falling.
And all the vampires walkin' through the valley move west down ventura
Boulevard.
And all the bad boys are standin' in the shadows, and the good girls
Are home with broken hearts.
I wanna glide down over mulholland i wanna write her name in the sky.
I'm gonna free fall out into nothin', gonna leave this world for a while.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
Mother mother found me on her step
Gracious mother held me to her breast
Until the day I started..
..pushing
Too late to cry she turned away
I started pushing
I saw no future in this lack
I started pushing pushing pushing forward back
I was pushing pushing pushing forward back
I was pushing pushing pushing forward back
I was pushing pushing pushing forward back
Baby brother clinging to her hair
Gracious mother pleading not another soul to bare
He started..
..pushing
All my kings have fallen down
I started pushing
Fallen heroes feed the ground
I started pushing pushing pushing forward back
I was pushing pushing pushing forward back
I was pushing pushing pushing forward back
I was pushing pushing pushing forward back
Falling down..
Now I know her
I know I'll never drown
drown

Falling down..
Now I know her
I know I'll never drown

Oh, I was pushing
I was pushing pushing pushing forward back
I was pushing pushing pushing forward back

I was pushing pushing pushing forward back
I was pushing pushing pushing forward back
I was pushing pushing pushing forward back
I was pushing pushing pushing forward back
I was pushing pushing pushing forward back
Not sure how this works.....but it just came to mind..falling,..pushing,..I guess.

Hah, I never told you guys this, but a guy from ELO lives just up the hill from me, in a converted old chapel (abou 500 yards away), Hugh Mcdowel, he was the cellist for a while, Hence....
Day after day,
Alone on the hill,
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still,
But nobody wants to know him,
They can see that he's just a fool,
And he never gives an answer,
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.
Well on the way head in a cloud,
The man of a thousand voices is talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hears him,
Or the sound he appears to make,
And he never seems to notice,
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.
And nobody seems to like him
They can tell what he wants to do.
And he never shows his feelings,
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.
woah ooh,
Round and round and round.
He never listens to them,
He knows that they're the fool
They don't like him,
The fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.

Well there was a man who lived in a shed
Spent most of his days out of his head
For his shed was rotten let in the rain
Said it was enough to drive any man insane
When it rained
He felt so bad
When it snowed he felt just simply sad.
Well there was a girl who lived nearby
Whenever he saw her he could only simply sigh
But she lived in a house so very big and grand
For him it seemed like some very distant land
So when he called her
His shed to mend,
She said Im sorry youll just have to find a friend.
Well this story is not so very new
But the man is me, yes and the girl is you
So leave your house come into my shed
Please stop my world from raining through my head
Please dont think
Im not your sort
Youll find that sheds are nicer than you thought.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
(Oh, look out!)
She came in through the bathroom window
Protected by a silver spoon
But now she sucks her thumb and wanders
By the banks of her own lagoon
Didn't anybody tell her?
Didn't anybody see?
Sunday's on the phone to Monday,
Tuesday's on the phone to me
She said she'd always been a dancer
She worked at 15 clubs a day
And though she thought I knew the answer
Well I knew what I could not say.
And so I quit the police department
And got myself a steady job
And though she tried her best to help me
She could steal but she could not rob
Didn't anybody tell her?
Didn't anybody see?
Sunday's on the phone to Monday,
Tuesday's on the phone to me
Oh yeah.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
John Farnham was just blown away with excitement. I wish I could find the original footage.
Oh and Leave Your Hat On and well the whole lot really makes me think of Joe.
So with that in mind I dedicate this one to you and all the other lovelies around here.

*~You're IT Bert!~*
Hold on to the thread
The currents will shift
Song title and the catchiness of the melody on that one made me think of this:

And yes, that is Kelly from Hi 5 in the middle!
*~You're IT Bert!~*
Hold on to the thread

Not sure about Dido being Welsh, but I am>>! What? You knew that? Anyway, I instantly thought of these lunatics, as they also do a version of Stan.....you are about to be entertained.

On a lonely day I look out on the freeway
I can fantasize about the car I drive
I Don't need the light on I can find my way
It's been so long now I have to say
Chorus:
I'm going to California
I'm gonna live the life
Sipping on tequilla
Night after night
Dreaming of the moment
When everything looks right
A little bit of love goes a long way tonight
I'm on my way heading for the sun
That's where I'll stay I'm never going back home
Do you ever feel like you need a change?
Hang out where no one knows your name
Chorus:
I'm going to California
I'm gonna live the life
Sipping on tequilla
Night after night
Dreaming of the moment
When everything looks right
A little bit of love goes a long way tonight
Would you like to meet me there?
We'll be dancing on the sand
These days will never end
No they'll go on and on and on
On a lonely day I look out on the freeway
I can fantasize about the car I drive
I Don't need the light on I can find my way
It's been so long now I have to say
It's been so long now I have to say
Chorus: (X2)
I'm going to California
I'm gonna live the life
Sipping on tequilla
Night after night
Dreaming of the moment
When everything looks right
A little bit of love goes a long way tonight
A little bit of love, A little bit of love
A little bit of love goes a long way tonight
Oh yeah on my way
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
I'd post the youtube link to the awesome film clip BUT looks like the multinational music conglomerates have got to it! :(
Come on everybody clap your hands
Now you're looking good
I'm gonna sing my song and you won't take long
We gotta do the twist and it goes like this
Come on let's twist again like we did last summer
Yea, let's twist again like we did last year
Do you remember when things were really hummin'
Yea, let's twist again, twistin' time is here
Yeah round 'n around 'n up 'n down we go again
Oh baby make me know you love me so then
Come on let's twist again like we did last summer
Yea, let's twist again, twistin' time is here
Come on let's twist again like we did last summer
Yea, let's twist again like we did last year
Do you remember when things were really hummin'
Yea, let's twist again, twistin' time is here
Yeah round 'n around 'n up 'n down we go again
Oh baby make me know you love me so then
Come on let's twist again like we did last summer
Yea, let's twist again, twistin' time is here

Well I had a look about and I can't see anything about Dido being Welsh but I'm sure she mentioned something about it in an interview once. Maybe I'm remembering it wrong, coz it seems she's English. But I thought she said something about Welsh ancestory or something.
As IF we could forget you're welsh!
Anyway, the man did say Blur, which of course immediately got me thinking of my favorite Damon Albarn efforts :

Good band !!

which of course brings me to:
He could’ve tuned in, tuned in
But he tuned out
A bad time, nothing could save him
Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out
He got up outta there, ran for hundreds of miles
He made it to the ocean, had a smoke in a tree
The wind rose up, set him down on his knee
A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw
Delivered him wings, "Hey, look at him now"
Arms wide open with the sea as his floor
Oh, power, oh
He's.. flying
Whole…
High.. wide, oh
He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share
His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere
But first he was stripped and then he was stabbed
By faceless men, well, fuckers
He still stands
And he still gives his love, he just gives it away
The love he receives is the love that is saved
And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
A human being that was given to fly
High.. flying
Oh, oh
High.. flying
Oh, oh
He’s…flying
Oh, oh
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be travelling on, now,
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see.
But, if I stayed here with you, girl,
Things just couldn't be the same.
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now,
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I can't change.
Bye, bye, its been a sweet love.
Though this feeling I can't change.
But please don't take it badly,
'Cause Lord knows I'm to blame.
But, if I stayed here with you girl,
Things just couldn't be the same.
Cause I'm as free as a bird now,
And this bird you'll never change.
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I can't change.
Lord help me, I can't change.
There you go,...who needs Youtube?????
not me. that's for sure.
and this from mr tom petty:
She’s a good girl,loves her mamma, loves je -sus, and america too.
She’s a good girl, crazy ‘bout elvis, loves horses, and her boyfriend too.
And it's a long day, livin’ in reseda, there’s a freeway, runnin’ thru the yard
And i’m a bad boy, ‘cause i don’t even miss her, i’m a bad boy, for breaking
And i'm free, free falling.
Yeah i'm free, free falling.
And all the vampires walkin' through the valley move west down ventura
Boulevard.
And all the bad boys are standin' in the shadows, and the good girls
Are home with broken hearts.
I wanna glide down over mulholland i wanna write her name in the sky.
I'm gonna free fall out into nothin', gonna leave this world for a while.
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
Gracious mother held me to her breast
Until the day I started..
..pushing
Too late to cry she turned away
I started pushing
I saw no future in this lack
I started pushing pushing pushing forward back
I was pushing pushing pushing forward back
I was pushing pushing pushing forward back
I was pushing pushing pushing forward back
Baby brother clinging to her hair
Gracious mother pleading not another soul to bare
He started..
..pushing
All my kings have fallen down
I started pushing
Fallen heroes feed the ground
I started pushing pushing pushing forward back
I was pushing pushing pushing forward back
I was pushing pushing pushing forward back
I was pushing pushing pushing forward back
Falling down..
Now I know her
I know I'll never drown
drown
drown
Falling down..
Now I know her
I know I'll never drown
drown
drown
Oh, I was pushing
I was pushing pushing pushing forward back
I was pushing pushing pushing forward back
I was pushing pushing pushing forward back
I was pushing pushing pushing forward back
I was pushing pushing pushing forward back
I was pushing pushing pushing forward back
I was pushing pushing pushing forward back
I was pushing pushing pushing forward back
I was pushing pushing pushing forward back
I was pushing pushing pushing forward back
Not sure how this works.....but it just came to mind..falling,..pushing,..I guess.

take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
Day after day,
Alone on the hill,
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still,
But nobody wants to know him,
They can see that he's just a fool,
And he never gives an answer,
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.
Well on the way head in a cloud,
The man of a thousand voices is talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hears him,
Or the sound he appears to make,
And he never seems to notice,
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.
And nobody seems to like him
They can tell what he wants to do.
And he never shows his feelings,
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.
woah ooh,
Round and round and round.
He never listens to them,
He knows that they're the fool
They don't like him,
The fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
Well there was a man who lived in a shed
Spent most of his days out of his head
For his shed was rotten let in the rain
Said it was enough to drive any man insane
When it rained
He felt so bad
When it snowed he felt just simply sad.
Well there was a girl who lived nearby
Whenever he saw her he could only simply sigh
But she lived in a house so very big and grand
For him it seemed like some very distant land
So when he called her
His shed to mend,
She said Im sorry youll just have to find a friend.
Well this story is not so very new
But the man is me, yes and the girl is you
So leave your house come into my shed
Please stop my world from raining through my head
Please dont think
Im not your sort
Youll find that sheds are nicer than you thought.
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say

Here's my thinking, Def Leppard= Sheffield. Sheffield=mines, whippets, steel,....and the Full Monty. The Full Monty=....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQ6JEkTUDBA
don't ask, but here it is...
(Oh, look out!)
She came in through the bathroom window
Protected by a silver spoon
But now she sucks her thumb and wanders
By the banks of her own lagoon
Didn't anybody tell her?
Didn't anybody see?
Sunday's on the phone to Monday,
Tuesday's on the phone to me
She said she'd always been a dancer
She worked at 15 clubs a day
And though she thought I knew the answer
Well I knew what I could not say.
And so I quit the police department
And got myself a steady job
And though she tried her best to help me
She could steal but she could not rob
Didn't anybody tell her?
Didn't anybody see?
Sunday's on the phone to Monday,
Tuesday's on the phone to me
Oh yeah.
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
So Sheffield and steel made me think of this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tnbcuzQB30
Mines and "whippets" made me think of Devo which made me think this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3MxuDk7wqo
And Tom Jones
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0AAsl20VeY
John Farnham was just blown away with excitement. I wish I could find the original footage.
Oh and Leave Your Hat On and well the whole lot really makes me think of Joe.
So with that in mind I dedicate this one to you and all the other lovelies around here.
