Procul Harum - Whiter Shade Of Pale
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbWULu5_nXI

We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale
She said, there is no reason
And the truth is plain to see.
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might have just as wellve been closed
She said, Im home on shore leave,
Though in truth we were at sea
So I took her by the looking glass
And forced her to agree
Saying, you must be the mermaid
Who took neptune for a ride.
But she smiled at me so sadly
That my anger straightway died

If music be the food of love
Then laughter is its queen
And likewise if behind is in front
Then dirt in truth is clean
My mouth by then like cardboard
Seemed to slip straight through my head
So we crash-dived straightway quickly
And attacked the ocean bed

I heard this song the other day after many years and the words just flowed into my head again. Y'all remember this one?






Billy Preston - I Wrote a Simple Song

I wrote a simple song
With simple words and harmony
Wasn't very long
Before a star, I was bound to be

I didn't care if it made the charts
I only wrote it for you and me
They think they're so smart now
They're not as smart as they want to be

They took my simple song, yes, they did
Log on to kill this message.
They changed the words and the melody
Made it all sound wrong, yeah
Now it sounds like a symphony

Who told them to mess with my
Oh, now, who gave them the right
I wanna know now
That song was personal

Because I wrote it for you
It's yours and mine, girl

I don't care if it
Makes the charts, y'all, no
I only wrote it for you and me

They think they're so smart
Yes, they do
They're not as smart
As they want to be

Who told them to mess with my
Oh, now, who gave them the right
I wanna know
That song was personal

Whoa, I wrote it for you
It's yours and mine

Yeah, yeah, oh, oh....

One of the greatest songs ever in the history of recorded music. Big Grin I've been listening to this one a lot lately.




Duran Duran - Ordinary World

Came in from a rainy thursday on the avenue
Thought I heard you talking softly.
I turned on the lights, the tv and the radio
Still I cant escape the ghost of you
What has happened to it all?
Crazy, somed say,
Where is the life that I recognize?
Gone away...

But I wont cry for yesterday, theres an ordinary world,
Somehow I have to find.
And as I try to make my way, to the ordinary world...
I will learn to survive.

Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say
Pride will tear us both apart
Well now prides gone out the window cross the rooftops, run away,
Left me in the vacuum of my heart.
What is happening to me?
Crazy, somed say,
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away...

(chorus)

-

Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed
Here today, forgot tomorrow
Ooh, here besides the news of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk

(just blown away...)

And I dont... (chorus)

Every world, is my world... (I will learn to survive)
Any world, is my world ... (I will learn to survive)

Any world, is my world...
Every world is my world...

Tommy my sweetheart has gone now
He's up in the heaven somewhere so little star high above
If you see Tommy tell him all my love

'Tell Tommy I love him, tell Tommy I miss him
Tell him thro' I may cry, My love for her will never die'

He drove his car in the stock car race
To win money so we could wed
He wanna so much to make me his wife
Mow my lovely Tom though he lost his life
I'm so lonely without him near
Oh, how I miss his warm embrace
I love no other, I want him to know
Oh little star please tell him so

Although he wanted to give me the world
Why did he do such a reckless thing
Little star he should realize
I was wretched and mean when he looked into my eyes

'Tell Tommy I love him, tell Tommy I miss him
Tell him thro' I may cry, My love for her will never die.

tell tommy i love him- skeeter davis

When I play this song at parties, everyone hits the dance floor. Smile



Albert West & The Shuffles - Cha La-La I Need You

Looked at you one day
Did you turn away
Since you're on my mind
There's no peace I find

Cha la la I need you
Cha la la I love you

I can't live without you
Thought our love was true
Had to go away
Can't you hear me pray

Cha la la I need you
Cha la la I love you

Honey can't you see
What you mean to me
We have climbed so high
Why our love should die

Cha la la I need you
Cha la la I love you

Please don't close the door
Give me a chance once more
Let me in and stay
Smile at me and say

Cha la la I need you
Cha la la I love you

Cha la la I need you
Cha la la I love you

Cha la la I need you
Cha la la I love you

Cha la la I need you

I was sitting at lunch today thinking about a gorgeous woman and out of the blue this song flashed into my mind. I had to add it to my collection when I came home tonight. Smile




Nazareth - I Don't Want to Go on Without You

I dont want to
Go on without you
Its so bad to be alone
Oh baby come home
I need you
My room is so blue
I keep seein your face
Oh, every place
Here in the gloom
Of my lonely room
I hold her memories
And smell her sweet perfume
I cant stand to
Live on without you
Oh my darlin hear my plea
Cmon back to me
Here in the gloom
Of my lonely room
I hold her memories
And smell her sweet perfume
I cant stand to
Live on without you
Oh my darlin hear my plea
Cmon back to me
I cant stand to
Go on without you
Oh my darlin hear my plea
Go on without you
cant stand to (no,no,no,no,)
Go on without you
Oh my darlin hear my plea
Go on without you.......
I cant stand to.......

This is a wicked funky ole skool jam. Anybody remember it?



Beginning of the End - Funky Nassau

Nassau's gone funky
Nassau's gone soul
We've got a doggone beat now
We're gonna call our very own
Nassau rock and Nassau roll
Nassau's got a whole lot of soul
Feels aright

Mini skirts, maxi skirts and Afro hair do
People doin' their own thing
Don't care 'bout you and me
Nassau's gone honky
Nassau's got soul now oh, yeah
And we've got a doggone beat now
We're gonna take care of business too

Listen to the drummer play his beat
Listen to the bass man go get the same groovy beat
Listen to the guitar give that soul some too
Bring it on home, girl
Bring it on home to you
Play the funky now
Oh, yeah
Funky
Funky Nassau
Listen, listen good

New York, you know, has got a whole lot of soul
Good God
London town is too doggone cold, yeah
Nassau's got sunshine and this you all know, yeah
But we've gone funky
And we've got some soul too, all right

Funky Nassau, funky Nassau, funky Nassau
Funky Nassau, funky Nassau, funky Nassau
Funky Nassau, listen
Funky Nassau, funky Nassau, funky.....

I may buy this little company that makes guitars. I think the guys are good and they only need cash and are wiling to sell the company, keep their jobs than lose everything. We hope to turn out some 20 signature guitars a month. I will tell you more. I need the wife to OK the deal but she is leery since she thinks it is like the bike shop, another place for me and my buddies to hang out and avoid being at home. I think it can be lucrative especially if we restore guitars as well. Will tell you more if it works out.
