Scotch and Soda
by Dave Guard

Scotch and soda, mud in your eye. Baby, do I feel high, oh, me, oh, my. Do I feel high.
Dry martini, jigger of gin. Oh, what a spell you've got me in, oh, my. Do I feel high.

People won't believe me. They'll think that I'm just braggin'. But I could feel the way I do and still be on the wagon.
All I need is one of your smiles. Sunshine of your eyes, oh, me, oh, my. Do I feel high.

People won't believe me. They'll think that I'm just braggin'. But I could feel the way I do and still be on the wagon.
All I need is one of your smiles. Sunshine of your eyes, oh, me, oh, my. Do I feel higher than a kite can fly.
Give me lovin', baby. I feel high.

This Mornin', This evenin', So Soon
by Carl Sandburg

Tell old Bill when he leaves home this mornin', tell old Bill when he leaves home this evenin',
Tell old Bill when he leaves home to let those downtown girls alone, this mornin', this evenin', so soon.

Poor old Sal was bakin' bread this mornin'. Poor old Sal was bakin' bread this evenin'.
Poor old Sal was bakin' bread when she got word that Bill was dead, this mornin', this evenin', so soon.

Oh, no! It can't be so this mornin'. Oh, no! It can't be so this evenin'.
Oh, no! It can't be so. My Bill left home about an hour ago, this mornin', this evenin', so soon.

They brought Bill home in a hurry-up wagon this mornin'. They brought Bill home in a hurry-up wagon this evenin'.
Brought Bill home in a hurry-up wagon. Brought Bill home with his toes a-draggin' this mornin', this evenin', so soon. This mornin', this evenin', so soon. (Repeat first verse)

Try to remember
by Harvy Schmidt, Tom Jones

Try to remember the kind of September when life was slow and oh, so, mellow.
Try to remember the kind of September when grass was green and grain so yellow.
Try to remember the kind of September when you were a young and callow fellow.
Try to remember and if you remember, then follow, follow.

Try to remember when life was so tender that no one wept except the willow.
Try to remember when life was so tender that dreams were kept beside your pillow.
Try to remember when life was so tender that love was an ember about to billow.
Try to remember and if you remember, then follow, follow.

Deep in December it's nice to remember although you know the snow will follow
Deep in December it's nice to remember without a hurt the heart is hollow
Deep in December it's nice to remember the fire of September that made you mellow
Deep in December our hearts should remember and follow, follow. Follow

The last few songs are Kingston Trio songs. I was trying to find the words to a song I think was theirs and just ran into some other good ones. - I remember some of the words to this song, but not the title, and Google doesn't find it. Do you know it? Here are some words as I remember them.
Anybody know the song?

lyrics as remembered:

If I could relieve that tender day, I'd not send my love away. . .
I'd reveal how I do adore her, hang my heart on my sleeve just for her, all my love throughout life assure her. . . If this moment I could. . . amour her.

I remember her gentle kiss, the tender touch of her finger tips. . . reminisce on her eyes so fair, moonlight soft on her downy hair.

And so on. Anybody know its Title?

You Were On My Mind

written by Sylvia Firicker (of Ian and Sylvia fame)
performed by We Five

Got up this mornin. you were on my mind
and you were on my mind.

I got some aches, and
I got some pains, and
I got some wounds to bind.

Went to the corner
just to ease my pain.
It was just to ease my pain.

I got drunk, and
I got sick, and
I came home again.

I got a feelin? down in my shoes.
It's way down in my shoes

I got to move on
I got to travel
Walk away my blues.

(repeat first verse)

Go and Say Goodbye

lyrics by Steven Stills
performed by Poco

(stephen stills)

You asked me to read this letter
That you wrote the night before
And you really should now better
’cause she’s worth a whole lot more, brother

You know you can’t run away and hide
Is it you don’t want to see her cry
Is that why you won’t go and say goodbye

Then you said the fault was yours
And you really were to blame
’twas as if to close the door
And to hide away in shame brother

You know you can’t run away and hide
Is it you don’t want to see her cry
Is that why you won’t go and say goodbye

Yes and why tell me why
Can’t you see that it’s not right
It’s a lie it’s a lie
Don’t hide your sorrow in the night brother

Amy- Pure Prairie League

I can see why you think you belong to me
I never tried to make you think or make you see one thing for yourself
But now you're off with someone else and I'm alone
You see I thought I might keep you for my own

Amy, what you wanna do
I think I could stay with you
For a while maybe longer if I do

Don't you think the time was right for us to find
All the things we thought weren't proper could be in time
And can't you see which way we should turn together or alone
I can never see what's right or what is wrong
Don't you take too long to tell me

Amy, what you wanna do
I think I could stay with you
For a while maybe longer if I do

Amy, what you wanna do
I think I could stay with you
For a while maybe longer if I do

Now just come to what you want you've had your way
And all the things you thought before just faded into gray
And you can say that I don't know if it's you or if it's me
If it's one of us I'm sure we both will see
Won't you look at me and tell me

Amy, what you wanna do
I think I could stay with you
For a while maybe longer if I, longer if I do

Amy, what you wanna do
I think I could stay with you
For a while maybe longer if I do

Your Song

music Elton John
lyrics Bernie Taupin

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

 

[Angeline]

I can see why you think you belong to me
I never tried to make you think or make you see one thing for yourself
But now you're off with someone else and I'm alone
You see I thought I might keep you for my own

Amy, what you wanna do
I think I could stay with you
For a while maybe longer if I do

Don't you think the time was right for us to find
All the things we thought weren't proper could be in time
And can't you see which way we should turn together or alone
I can never see what's right or what is wrong
Don't you take too long to tell me

Amy, what you wanna do
I think I could stay with you
For a while maybe longer if I do

Amy, what you wanna do
I think I could stay with you
For a while maybe longer if I do

Now just come to what you want you've had your way
And all the things you thought before just faded into gray
And you can say that I don't know if it's you or if it's me
If it's one of us I'm sure we both will see
Won't you look at me and tell me

Amy, what you wanna do
I think I could stay with you
For a while maybe longer if I, longer if I do

Amy, what you wanna do
I think I could stay with you
For a while maybe longer if I do

I adore that song! We heard it on the radio a few weeks back, driving along through an evening storm, both singing our hearts out to it.

Lyrics - Come On Home

Baby come home, I miss the sound of the door
Your step on the stair's not there to wake me no more
And every day's like Christmas Day without you
It's cold and there's nothing to do

And it's mighty quiet here now that you're gone
I've been behaving myself for too long
'Cause I don't like sleeping
Or watching TV on my own
So please come on home

Baby, what's keeping you all this time
You're wasting your days out there in the sunshine
And who can I turn to if you believe still
That England don't love you and she never will

For it's mighty quiet here now that you're gone
And I've been behaving myself for too long
I don't like drinking
or painting the town on my own
So please come on home

Baby come on home Please

For it's mighty quiet here now that you're gone
And I've been behaving myself for too long
'Cause I don't like sleeping
Or watching TV on my own
So please come on home

~~~


Looking out on the morning rain i used to feel uninspired
And when i knew i'd have to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired
Before the day i met you life was so unkind
Your love was the key to my peace of mind

'cause you make me feel, you make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman

When my soul was in the lost and found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
'till your kiss helped me name it
Now i'm no longer doubtful of what i'm living for

'cause if i make you happy i don't need to do more

You make me feel, you make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman
Oh, baby, what you've done to me! (what you've done to me!)
You make me feel so good inside (good inside)
And i just want to be (want to be) close to you
You make me feel so alive!

You make me feel, you make me feel
You make me feel like a natural, natural woman
You make me feel, you make me feel
You make me feel like a natural, natural woman
You make me feel, you make me feel
You make me feel like a natural, woman, a natural woman

Title: When I Close My Eyes

(mark alan springer/nettie musick)



There's so many things
I didn't say
And even though
It may be too late
I want you to know
I still love you so
Every car i meet
Looks like your car
Every movie i see
You play the leading part
You're on my mind
Can't leave you behind

When i close my eyes
You're all i see
In the dark of night
You're in my dreams
Throughout the day
You're easy to find
You're always there
When i close my eyes

In my mind i know
You're far away
But here in my heart
Nothing has changed
I'm still holdin' you
Like i used to
On a busy street
In a crowded room
Wherever i go
It's just me and you
Together again
Girl it never ends

When i close my eyes
You're all i see
In the dark of night
You're in my dreams
Throughout the day
You're easy to find
You're always there
When i close my eyes

You're always there
When i close my eyes




I love this artist, and his lyrics.
I couldn't remember if I had posted
this one in the past. So I had to
post it tonight.

Just a wonderful song,
poignant ... and true ~

I Hate Myself For Loving You

(Joan Jett/Desmond Child)

Midnight gettin' uptight Where are you
You said you'd meet me now it's quarter to two
I know I'm hangin' but I'm still wantin' you

Hey Jack It's a fact they're talkin' in town
I turn my back and you're messin' around
I'm not really jealous don't like lookin' like a clown

I think of you ev'ry night and day
You took my heart then you took my pride away

I hate myself for loving you
Can't break free from the the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you that's why
I hate myself for loving you

Daylight spent the night without you
But I've been dreamin' 'bout the lovin' you do
I won't be as angry 'bout the hell you put me through

Hey man betcha you can treat me right
You just don’t know what you was missin’ last night
I wanna see you beggin, say forget it just for spite

I hate myself for loving you
Can't break free from the the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you, that's why
I hate myself for loving you

I hate myself for loving you
Can't break free from the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you that's why
I hate myself for loving you

I think of you ev'ry night and day
You took my heart then you took my pride away

I hate myself for loving you
Can't break free from the the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you that's why
I hate myself for loving you
I hate myself for loving you
I hate myself for loving you



I love the attitude in this song ~ a real must listen to for any women who have been screwed over by a bloke, lol...

"Blue" - by Yamane Mai

Never seen a blue sky
Yeah I can feel it reaching out
And moving closer
There's something about blue
Asked myself what it's all for
You know the funny thing about it
I couldn't answer
No I couldn't answer

Things have turned a deeper shade of blue
And images that might be real
May be illusion
Keep flashing off and on
Free
Wanna be free
Gonna be free
And move among the stars
You know they really aren't so far
Feels so free
Gotta know free
Please
Don't wake me from the dream
It's really everything it seemed
I'm so free
No black and white in the blue

Everything is clearer now
Life is just a dream you know
That's never ending
I'm ascending

The Singing Sea

Lyrics by Cris Mosdell
Music and Arrangement by Y?ko Kanno
Performed by Tulivu-Donna Cumberbatch


The singing sea
The talking trees
A Silent in a noisy way

The stars are bright
But give no light
The world spins backward everyday

A rainbow rat
A checkered cat
Go tail in tail around the road
The mouse is pleased
The moon is cheese
The sun is shining hot and cold

A golden bird
Today I heard
Sitting upon a silver branch
His little song was very long
Which made me sad and start to laugh

My sister is he
My brother is she
But there is only me in the family
When I grow up
I'll go down
The river to the Singing Sea

The Window

Listening to this right now ~

Why do you stand by the window
Abandoned to beauty and pride
The thorn of the night in your bosom
The spear of the age in your side
Lost in the rages of fragrance
Lost in the rags of remorse
Lost in the waves of a sickness
That loosens the high silver nerves
Oh chosen love, Oh frozen love
Oh tangle of matter and ghost
Oh darling of angels, demons and saints
And the whole broken-hearted host
Gentle this soul

And come forth from the cloud of unknowing
And kiss the cheek of the moon
The New Jerusalem glowing
Why tarry all night in the ruin
And leave no word of discomfort
And leave no observer to mourn
But climb on your tears and be silent
Like a rose on its ladder of thorns

Oh chosen love, Oh frozen love...

Then lay your rose on the fire
The fire give up to the sun
The sun give over to splendour
In the arms of the high holy one
For the holy one dreams of a letter
Dreams of a letter's death
Oh bless thee continuous stutter
Of the word being made into flesh

Oh chosen love, Oh frozen love...

Gentle this soul

Yes I Am

In these days and these hours of fury
When the darkness and answers are thin
Lovers come and check out in a hurry
Shallow and hollow again
Come lay your body beside me
To dream to sleep with the lamb
To the question your eyes seem to send

Am I your passion your promise your end
I say I am
Yes I am
Your passion your promise your end
Yes I am

Barring divine intervention
There is nothing between you and I
And if I carelessly forgot to mention
Your body your power can sanctify
Come feed your hunger your thirst
Lay it down the beast will die
You can question my heart once again

Am I your passion your promise your end
I say I am
Yes I am
Your passion your promise your end
Yes I am

I will stand firm in the tempest
I will ride destinys' trail
To believe when the truth comes up empty
To hold and respect without fail
Come and be one in the motion
A desire they cannot comprehend
Never to question again
For I am your passion your promise your end
Oh yes I am

White Bird
by It's A Beautiful Day

White bird,
in a golden cage,
on a winter's day,
in the rain.

White bird,
in a golden cage,
alone.

The leaves blow,
Across the long black road.
To the darkened skies,
in its rage

But the white bird just sits in her cage,
alone.

White bird must fly
Or she will die

White bird,
dreams of the aspen trees,
with their dying leaves,
turning gold.

But the white bird just sits in her cage,
growing old.

White bird must fly or she will die.
White bird must fly or she will die.

The sunsets come, the sunsets go.
The clouds pile high,the air moves slow.
And the young bird's eyes do always know.

She must fly,
She must fly,
She must fly.

White bird,
In a golden cage,
On a winter's day, in the rain.

White bird,
In a golden cage alone.

White bird must fly or she will die.
White bird must fly or she will die.
White bird must fly or she will die.

I think we've known each other in this life! This song has been a favorite of mine since the first moment I heard it. I have posted this in another thread on the Playground, I think. I sure am glad to hear it again. TY, dear.

SAVAGE GARDEN LYRICS

"Two Beds And a Coffee Machine"

and she takes another step
slowly she opens the door
check that he is sleeping
pick up all the broken glass
and furniture on the floor
been up half the night screaming
now it's time to get away
pack up the kids in the car
another bruise to try and hide
another alibi to write
another ditch in the road
you keep moving
another stop sign
you keep moving on
and the years go by so fast
wonder how I ever made it through

and there are children to think of
baby's asleep in the back seat
wonder how they'll ever make it
through this living nightmare
but the mind is an amazing thing
full of candy dreams and new toys
and another cheap hotel
two beds and a coffee machine
but there are groceries to buy
and she knows she'll have to go home

another ditch in the road
you keep moving
another stop sign
you keep moving on
and the years go by so fast
wonder how I ever made it through

another bruise to try and hide
another alibi to write
another lonely highway in the black of night
there's hope in the darkness
I know you're gonna make it

another ditch in the road
keep moving
another stop sign
you keep moving on
and the years go by so fast
silent fortress built to last
wonder how I ever made it

Title: U Got It Bad


Oh, no, no, no, no, no...

When you feel it in your body
You found somebody who makes you change your ways
Like hanging with your crew
Said you act like you're ready
But you don't really know
And everything in your past - you wanna let it go

I've been there, done it, fucked around
After all that - this is what I found
Nobody wants to be alone
If you're touched by the words in this song
Then baby...

U got, u got it bad
When you're on the phone
Hang up and you call right back
U got, u got it bad
If you miss a day without your friend
Your whole life's off track
You know you got it bad when you're stuck in the house
You don't wanna have fun
It's all you think about
U got it bad when you're out with someone
But you keep on thinkin' bout somebody else
U got it bad

When you say that you love 'em
And you really know
Everything that used to matter, don't matter no more
Like my money, all my cars
(You can have it all back)
Flowers, cards and candy
(I do it just cause I'm...)
Said I'm fortunate to have you girl
I want you to know
I really adore you
All my people who know what's going on
Look at your mate, help me sing my song

Tell her I'm your man, you're my girl
I'm gonna tell it to the whole wide world
Ladies say I'm your girl, you're my man
Promise to love you the best I can

See I've been there, done it, fucked around
After all that - this is what I found
Everyone of y'all are just like me
It's too bad that you can't see
That you got it bad...hey

U got, u got it bad
When you're on the phone
Hang up and you call right back
U got, u got it bad
If you miss a day without your friend
Your whole life's off track
You know you got it bad when you're stuck in the house
You don't wanna have fun
It's all you think about
U got it bad when you're out with someone
But you keep on thinkin' bout somebody else
U got it bad

breakdown

U got, u got it bad
When you're on the phone
Hang up and you call right back
U got, u got it bad
If you miss a day without your friend
Your whole life's off track
You know you got it bad when you're stuck in the house
You don't wanna have fun
It's all you think about
U got it bad when you're out with someone
But you keep on thinkin' bout somebody else
U got it bad

Title: Behind Closed Doors


(kenny o'dell)

My baby makes me proud
Lord, don't he make me proud
He never makes a scene
By hangin' all over me in a crowd

'cause people like to talk
Lord, don't they like to talk
But when they turn out the lights
I know he'll be leavin' with me

And when we get behind closed doors
Then i let my hair hang down
He makes me glad that i'm a woman
Oh, no one knows what goes on behind closed doors

My baby makes me smile
Lord, don't he make me smile
He's never far away
Or too tired to say i want you

And i'm always a lady
Just like a lady should be


But when they turn out the lights
He's still my baby to me

And when we get behind closed doors
Then i let my hair hang down
Oh, he makes me glad i'm a woman
Oh, no one knows what goes on behind closed doors

Oh, behind closed doors
I let my hair hang down
I'm glad that i'm a woman
No one knows what goes on behind closed doors

Behind closed doors
I let my hair hang down
He makes me glad i'm a woman
No one knows what goes on behind closed doors

And when we get behind closed doors
Then i let my hair hang down

Everytime our eyes meet
This feeling inside me
Is almost more than I can take
Baby when you touch me
I can feel how much you love me
And it just blows me away
I've never been this close to anyone or anything
I can hear your thoughts
I can see your dreams

I don't know how you what you do
I'm so in love with you, it just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life with you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you

The smell of your skin
The taste of your kiss
The way you whisper in the dark
Your hair all around me, baby you surround me

You touch everyplace in my heart
Oh, it feels the first time everytime
I wanna spent the whole night in your eyes

I don't know how you what you do
I'm so in love with you, it just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life with you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you

Every little thing that you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life with you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Oh, every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you

Crash and Burn Lyrics


When you feel all alone
And the world has turned it's back on you
Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you
It's hard to find relieve and people can be so cold
When darkness is upon your door
And you feel like you can't take anymore

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

When you feel all alone
And a loyal friend is hard to find
You're caught in a one way street
With the monsters in your head
When hopes and dreams are far away and
You feel like you can't face they day

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

Because there has always been heartache and pain
And when it's over you'll breathe again
You'll breath again

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild wild heart

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

NICKELBACK LYRICS

"How You Remind Me"

Never made it as a wise man
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing
Tired of living like a blind man
I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling
And this is how you remind me
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am

It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
for handing you a heart worth breaking
and I've been wrong, i've been down,
been to the bottom of every bottle
these five words in my head
scream "are we having fun yet?"

yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no
yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no

it's not like you didn't know that
I said I love you and I swear I still do
And it must have been so bad
Cause living with me must have damn near killed you

And this is how, you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how, you remind me
Of what I really am

It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
for handing you a heart worth breaking
and I've been wrong, i've been down,
been to the bottom of every bottle
these five words in my head
scream "are we having fun yet?"

yet, yet, yet, no, no
yet, yet, yet, no, no
yet, yet, yet, no, no
yet, yet, yet, no, no

Never made it as a wise man
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing
And this is how you remind me
This is how you remind me
This is how you remind me
Of what i really am
This is how you remind me
Of what i really am

It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
for handing you a heart worth breaking
and I've been wrong, i've been down,
been to the bottom of every bottle
these five words in my head
scream "are we having fun yet?"
yet, yet
are we having fun yet

Gosh I love this guy!

(he's Larry McMurtry's kid)

Fast as I Can
James McMurtry

He was a drinking man
with a guitar problem
Didn't have a dollar to his name
He didn't seem to mind it all that often
He mostly took whatever came
And if it came too late,
or it came to nothing
He'd swear beneath his breath
There's gotta be something to it
There's gotta be something to it

She lost her mind and she never missed it
Folks all said she'd never learn
She'd take the path of least resistance
Right to the point of no return
Apprehended on occasion, got off easy every time

Said there's gotta be something to it,
Something to it
Don't know why else somebody'd
Want to go through it

When your nights are getting colder
Restless as the wind
I'll be comin over
Fast as I can,
Fast as I can

Well, he had some lines
but he never used 'em
She didn't need much talkin' to
And he thought he'd died
and gone to Houston
By the time the dawn burned off the dew

And they lit right up
Like roman candles
Like fire and gasoline
There must've been something to it,
Somethin to it
They didn't mess around,
They just had to get right to it

When your nights are gettin colder
Restless as the wind
I'll be comin over fast as I can, fast as I can

So for a while they carried on like rabbits
They'd disappear for days and nights
You might say they learned
each other's habits
You might say that became their life

And life wasn't long
Life wasn't easy
Life wasn't cheap,
Life wasn't fair
And there might have been something to it,
Something to it
