 | I have a friend on SYD whose (no)name will remain anonymous. It seems no matter what the topic is, somehow his mind -drifter-s and his comment will include song lyrics. If I were playing Rock-n-Roll Jeopardy at a party, I would want him on my team.
Here's my thought; do you have a favorite tune, it might be because of a guitar riff or maybe it's the lyrics. Do you think you know some of the words, great! Please post some of the words then let us guess if we know the title. |
Ooh this feels so crazy, how this love is blazing Baby we're so high, walking on cloud nine You got me up so high So High My shoes are scraping the sky So High You got me up so high Oh My shoes are scraping the sky
Maybe later we could go up to the moon Or sail among the stars before the night is through And when morning comes we'll see the sun is not so far And can't get much closer to god then where we are We'll go to a place where only lovers go To a spot that we've never known To the top of the clouds we're floating way
Ooh this feels so crazy, oh this love is blazing And baby we're so high, walking on cloud nine You got me up so high So High My shoes are scraping the sky So High You got me up so high Oh My shoes are scraping the sky
Oooh, yeah Ooooo-ooh oh Oooh this feels so crazy, how this love is blazing Baby we're soo high, walking on cloud nine You got me up so high You got me up so high You got me up so high My shoes are scraping the sky You got me up so high You got me up so high You got me up so high My shoes are scraping the sky Ooooh yeeaah Mmmhaaaah ay Yeah... This is how love suppose to be This is how, this is how love suppose to be Let's go to the moon baby,oooh Let's go to the moon baby, yeah Let's go, go, let's go to the moon baby So high
I pray for better days to come I pray that I would see the sun Cuz life is so burdensome When everyday's a rainy one
But suddenly there's no more clouds I believe without a doubt That heaven sent an angel down And then she turned my life around
You know and I know Friends come and friends go Storms rise and winds blow But one thing I know for sure
When it's cold outside There's no need to worry cuz I'm so warm inside You give me peace When the storm's outside Cuz we're in love I know It'll be alright Alright it's alright
Oooh...
Now peace is so hard to find We're terrorized and victimized But that's when I close my eyes And think of you to ease my mind You take me to another place There's no more war (no more war) Just love and grace Baby you restore my faith I know the struggle's not in vain You know and I know Through all the battles Baghdad to Israel There's one thing I know for sure
When it's cold outside There's no need to worry cuz I'm so warm inside You give me peace When the storm's outside Cuz we're in love I know It'll be alright Alright it's alright
Alright it's alright Alright it's alright Alright it's alright
Oh... When it's cold outside There's no need to worry cuz I'm so warm inside You give me peace When the storm's outside Cuz we're in love I know It'll be alright Alright it's alright
Oh it's gonna be alright Ooh...
Cuz you give me peace In the middle of the storm When it's cold you're keeping me warm It's alright It's alright I'm never gonna leave You give me what I need It's alright, alright

In Stevie Wonder's legendary song "Sir Duke" the lyrics go:
There's Basie, Miller, Satchmo and the king of all
Sir Duke,
And with a voice like Ella's ringing out there's no
way a band could loose.
Basie is Count Basie, Satchmo (spelling?) is Louis Armstrong, Sir Duke is Duke Ellington and Ella is Ella Fitzgerald. These are easy. But who is Miller? I came up with Glenn Miller, but he's a big band artist and doesn't seem to fit with the others who are jazz artists. I also thought of Mitch Miller, but he seems even more unlikely.
So who is Miller? This has been bothering me for years and I'd be eternally grateful if anyone can supply a good answer.
He later said, "I knew the title from the beginning but wanted it to be about the musicians who did something for us. So soon they are forgotten. I wanted to show my appreciation."
By the way, are you old enough top remember Stevie's first hit "Fingertips"? He was still a boy and his voice hadn't changed yet. As the song is winding down, the crowd cheers and the master of ceremonies comes on and says "Let's hear it for him, Little Stevie Wonder!" At that point Stevie segues into an unrehearsed encore and one of the back-up musicians can be heard asking "What key? What Key?"
I'm something of a record collector nut (to put it mildly), and I remember years ago I was living in a studio apartment. At some point that had become just too small as the audio system and the record collection had begun to overwhelm the place. It was looking like a shrine to the recording industry.
Boys will be boys and girls will be girls.......................
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up muddled shook up world except for Lola
If you're very quiet, you can almost hear aristotle singing it!

we are living in the love of the father, living in the house of the almighty, (repeat2x)
ooh yeah ooh yeah
The days of destruction will never be, oh no Not hard for the wise man who can see But the fool thinks he knows it all, sooner or later he stumbles and falls He goes down for a reason, Jah keeps giving him a beating to the foundation they'll have to go down to the foundation chant them down to the foundation they'll have to go down to the foundation, oh ho well oh ho well
As she slams the door in his drunken face
And now he stands outside
And all the neighbors start to gossip and drool
He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green
was his anniversary yesterday and I forgot damn
Now, we don't talk and it's a shame I guess I only have myself to blame 'Cause girl, you meant so much to me
And if I ever see you again I know a song I can sing If I ever see you again I know a song, I know a song I can sing
All those things that people used to say That only got in the way The way of you and me Oh, they were nothing more than words And even if they were It don't matter to me, yeah ohh
And if I ever see you again I know a song I can sing Girl, if I ever see you again I know a song, I know a song I can sing
Next time I'm playing out If I see you in the crowd There's only one song I'm a' sing out loud
'Cause girl, I did you bad And yes, I made you sad I just want you to know
If I ever see you again I know a song I can sing Yeah, yeah, yeah
If I ever see you again I know a song, I know a song I can sing Yeah, yeah, yeah
If I ever see you again I know a song I can sing Girl, if I ever see you again I know a song, I know a song I can sing
I am befuddled, as your reference to Robert Leroy Johnson, surprised me.
You certainly know your music.
The sickness of this world is destroying all the dreams
The fools are kings, tearing apart the soul
The race for complication communicate reaction
The lack of heart of men, I grow distant from the core
Borrow this body for a lifetime, earthly material
My soul unraveled out of mental
The shell returns to dust
I focus on the present concentrate on what I find
Accelerate the vision high beyond the curse of time
Bring light to my attention, the walls of vacuum fall
This **** increases and tells me where to go
Follow, I enter my dimensions, awakened heart of life
Enforce my senses, I'm understanding
I find the will to live straight
I feel the change I see the vicious circle
finally turned into a virtuous one
Having the whole world in my hands, filled
Timelessness
Out of the frame I feel so vast I'm all around myself
Imaginative interaction
But I keep struggling inside to hold this always
Forever there
Is it the fear to fall in space that keeps us from understanding
The only way to find the power is to look inside
Increase your fall on purpose and let this river flow
Now you hold this **** appeared out of the vacuum of space
Remain in what you are, the center of your life
You made it to this point no one can tell you how
You crawled and bled all the way but you were the only one
That was tearing your soul apart, you finally find yourself

Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
Remember me to one who lives there, she once was a true love of mine.
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt (On the side of a hill in the deep forest green).
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme (Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground).
Without no seams nor needlework (Blankets and bedclothes the **** of the mountain).
Then she'll be a true love of mine (Sleeps unaware of the clarion call).
Tell her to find me an acre of land (On the side of a hill, a sprinkling of leaves).
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme (Washes the grave with silvery tears).
Between salt water and the sea strands (A soldier cleans and polishes a gun).
Then she'll be a true love of mine.
Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather (War bellows, blazing in scarlet battalions).
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme (Generals order their soldiers to kill).
And gather it all in a bunch of heather (And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten).
Then she'll be a true love of mine.
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
Remember me to one who lives there, she once was a true love of mine.
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola C-o-l-a cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola
L-o-l-a Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola
Well I'm not the worlds most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola
Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man
Oh my Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola
Well we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
And said dear boy wont you come home with me
Well I'm not the worlds most passionate guy
But when I looked in her eyes well I almost fell for my Lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola
Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola
I pushed her away
I walked to the door
I fell to the floor
I got down on my knees
Then I looked at her and she at me
Well that's the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way for my Lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for Lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola
Well I left home just a week before
And I'd never ever kissed a woman before
But Lola smiled and took me by the hand
And said dear boy I'm gonna make you a man
Well I'm not the worlds most masculine man
But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man
And so is Lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola
Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola
of each others
paint by number dreams....
all the tea in China
Put in a big brown
paper bag for me..
