One Night In Bangkok ~ Murray Head Yup! I knew that

Hi TexasAngel67.. I am glad to see you and I am glad you posted to keep the ball rolling. I don't know about anyone else but of course I want a hug.. and here is one for you x 10. LOL
Have fun with the shopping. Tis the season.




baby hair with a woman's eyes
I can feel you watching in the night
all alone with me and we're waiting for the sunlight
when I feel cold you warm me
when I feel I can't go on you come and hold me
it's you...... and me forever

~ Hi Pandy...thanks !

That's one of my favorites....Sara Smile by Hall and Oates

Oh people look around you
The signs are everywhere
You left him for somebody other than you
To be the one to care

You're lost inside your houses
There's no time to find you now
Oh your walls are burning
And your towers are turning
I've gotta leave you here
And try to get down to the sea somehow

"Rock me on the water" by Jackson Browne (Love his music!)


P.S. Thanks Pandy. Great to be around again. Less chaos here, fo' sho'! lol

"Oh, no matter what I do,
Each night's a lifetime to live through,
I can't go on like this, I need your touch,
You're the only one I'll ever love."

~ Expose - "I'll Never Get Over You Getting Over Me"

Don't you worry
Sometimes you've just gotta let it ride
The world is changing
Right before your eyes
Now I've found you
There's no more emptiness inside

The Eagles ~ Love Will Keep Us Alive

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

That one takes me back over 30 years, mah dear Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon

Could we have kippers for breakfast
Mummy dear, Mummy dear?
They got to have 'em in Texas
'Cos everyone's a millionaire

Breakfast in America by Supertramp (been awhile since I've heard that one!)


And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky,
I'll make a wish send it to heaven then make you want to cry..

Truly, Madly, Deeply ~ Savage Garden

Now I understand
what you tried to say to me
and how you suffered for your sanity
and how you tried to set them free
they would not listen they did not know how
perhaps they'll listen now.

~ Vincent by Don McLean

He's laughing with another girl
And playing with another heart
Placing high stakes, making hearts ache
He's loved in seven languages
Jewel box life diamond nights and ruby lights, high in the sky

SMOOTH OPERATOR by SADE that was quite the song...Diamond life, lover boy.
We move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy.

Cats on the blacktop, birdie in the treetop,

Someone plays guitar that sounds like cla-vi- nette.

I ain't ready yet, to go to bed,

Think I'll take a walk downtown instead.

Cats Under the Stars ~ Grateful Dead

He spends his nights in California, watching
The stars on the big screen
Then he lies awake and he wonders, why
Can't that be me
Cause in his life he is filled with all these
Good intentions
He's left a lot of things he'd rather not
Mention right now
But just before he says goodnight, he looks
Up with a little smile at me and he says

"Be Like That" by Three Doors Down (I like this group)


"And sometimes I wonder, as I look in your eyes,
Maybe you're thinking of some other guy,
But I know, yes I know, how to treat you right,
That's why you call me in the middle of the night."

~ Urgent by Foreigner ~

Long ago, and oh so far away
I fell in love with you,
before the second show
Your guitar, it sounds so
sweet and clear
But you're not really hear
it's just the radio

"Superstar" by The Carpenters (they have the best Christmas collection CD)


"And she's a habit I can't handle,
For a reason I can't say,
I'm in love with a wild white lady,
She's as sweet as the stories say."

White Lady White Powder
Elton John
(21 At 33)

Baby there's something wrong
And I can tell that it needs fixin'
It's written all over your face
No one can miss it
You been mopin' around with that hound dog frown
Like your best friend just left ya ... it's all right
it's all right ... it's all right

(21 at 33 is one of my all-time favorite albums, all great songs)

Trick Pony's "Hillbilly Blues"


"All day long wearing a mask of false bravado,
Trying to keep up a smile that hides a tear,
But as the sun goes down I get that empty feeling again,
How I wish to God that you were here."

~ Baby Come Back ~ by Player ... Oh, the memories!

It's not so much your pretty face I see
It's not the clothes you wear
It's more that special way you look at me
That always keeps me there

You Are The Woman ~ Firefall

Forgotten but not gone
You drink it off your mind
You talk about the world
Like it's someplace that you've been

Broadway by the Goo Goo Dolls


"Maybe it's just an ego problem,
Problem is I've been fooled before,
By fair-weather friends and faint-hearted lovers,
And everytime it happens,
It just convinces me more."

You Got Gold......by John Prine


Life is a blessing. It's a delicatessen
of all the little favours you do.
All wrapped up together no matter
the weather...

Cause you got gold
Inside of you
You got gold

From the album John Prine "The Missing Years, a talented songwriter and singer!!!!Joins in with Tom Petty, Bonnie Raitt, Phil Everley, Bruce Springsteen

~ Hi Georgia, welcome That song by John Prine is beautiful !

The game that we're playing has a slightly different take on our favorite songs and
songwriters....we post lyrics and the others playing guess the title and artist or songwriter; then they post lyrics that we try to guess.

TexasAngel67 posted lyrics to:

~ When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman ~ by Dr. Hook

My pick is :

Her love is heavenly
When her arms enfold me
I feel a tender love so deep
But in reality, she doesn't even know me

That would be one of those golden Motown oldies that decades later still sound great...
The Temptations singing: Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)

Lord we don't need another mountain
There are mountains and hillsides
Enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers
Enough to cross. enough to last
'Till the end of time

What the world needs now by a number of folks but Diana Ross and Luther Vandross sing it best......


"The Telex machine is kept so clean
And it types to a waiting world
And Mother feels so shocked
Father's world is rocked."

Boomtown Rats (?) - I Don't Like Mondays nor do I, per Diana Ross's version of Burt Bacherach's lovely catchy lryics from so long ago...

Peace in the struggle
To find peace
Comfort on the way
To comfort

Mmm...nice ~ Fumbling Towards Ecstacy ~ by Sarah Mclachlan

Travelin' around sure gets me down and lonely
Nothin' else to do but close my mind
I sure do hope the road don't come to own me
There's so many dreams
I've yet to find

So far away by Carole King (love that song!)



"I remember years ago
I had so many plans
And now I watch the river flow
Time has brought me here
With empty hands."

One of the best Greatest Hits albums I ever bought

~ Soldier In The Rain ~ by England Dan and John Ford Coley

I know it's not my fault, I did my best
God knows this heart of mine could use a rest
But more and more I find the dreams I left behind
Are somehow too real to replace

Last Night I Didn't Get To Sleep At All by The 5th dimension,


Oh, promised land and me still standing
It’s a test of time
It’s a real good sign

October Road by James Taylor (one of the best)

Ladyfirst - I agree! I've worn out 2 cassettes back in the day. Bought a 3rd one and now have it all on CD. Fabulous album!


"The trees are drawing me near,
I've got to find out why.
Those gentle voices I hear
Explain it all with a sigh."



(I am so loving the walks down memory lane here!)

I'm goin' alone without google support on this one now... steady...Tuesday Afternoon by The Moody Blues

This world’s no stage for the faint at heart.
Each symphony, a sum of parts.
Each overture, a sweet foreplay.
Let’s crash and burn some other day.

A Raft Of Penguins ~ Ian Anderson

Oh it doesn't seem a year ago
To this very day
You said I'm sorry honey
If I don't change the pace
I can't face another day

OH! I so love this song...

"Love Lies Bleeding" by Elton John (his #1 fan ought to know this, lol)


"I hear the echo of the promise I made
When you're strong you can stand on your own
But those words grow distant as I look at your face
No, I don't wanna go it alone."

(A great song but the artist/band is a surprise)

FOREVER
Kiss

Shaking into town
With the brakes complaining
I used to count lovers like railroad cars
I counted them on my side
Lately I don't count on nothing
I just let things slide
The station master's shuffling cards
Boxcars are banging in the yards
Jealous Iovin'Il make you crazy
If you can't find your goodness
'Cause you lost your heart

Joni Mitchell ~ Just Like This Train

This is one of my most favorite songs.. yes I know.. Corny but true LOL Just can't help it.

Cryin’s not for me
’cause I’m never gonna stop the rain by complainin’
Because I’m free
Nothin’s worryin’ me

Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head by ah, er ahhh, dang ITS A SOUNDTRACK song on the tip o' my tongue...Butch Cassidy & that Sundance Kidd background lyrics while they both chase the school teacher around a while...dern it...be patiewnt, it'll come back...*senior moments can be so awkward at times* lol it was before they went on the lam to Bolivia....B THATS IT...BJ Thomas.

Walking through forests of palm tree apartments ---
scoff at the monkeys who live in their dark tents
down by the waterhole --- drunk every Friday ---
eating their nuts --- saving their raisins for Sunday.
Lions and tigers who wait in the shadows ---
they're fast but they're lazy, and sleep in green meadows.

Jethro Tull's "Bungle in the Jungle"


Seeing as this will be my very last post here at BC, I've tried to think of something nice to leave you all with. Here's 2 great songs:

"Working starts to make me wonder,
Where fruits of what I do are goin',
He says in love and war all is fair,
But he's got cards he ain't showin'.

"Pulled in the driveway, picked up the paper,
Found my key and unlocked the door,
I walked in, felt like a stranger,
Like I'd never been there before,
As I wandered room to room,
It was silent as a tomb."

Take care everybody!

~ Sunshine ~ by Edwards Jonathan

and

~ Lonely and Gone ~ by Montgomery Gentry


Although I'm very new here, I must say, TexasAngel67, that your announcement about leaving, leaves me feeling a little sad. You're one of the people that I was so looking forward to getting to know better.

I would like you to know that I wish you good health and happiness and hope that your circumstances work out in such a way that we may again get to enjoy your company, here, with us on these boards.

Suzanne


Paris' rooftops were lovely to see
Switzerland's vertical landscape
Crossed my mind's eye just now
Canada's shoreline has been calling out to me
But it's been too long a time
Since last I crossed
That vast Nantucket sound

Hello Old Friend by James Taylor


P.S. Suzanne, that is so sweet! I'm staying here. I couldn't leave such wonderful people behind. It is very nice to meet you and I also look forward to getting to know you better. Thank you very much.


"Oh baby don't it feel like heaven right now
Don't it feel like something from a dream
Yeah I've never known nothing quite like this
Don't it feel like tonight might never be again
Baby we know better than to try and pretend
No one coulda ever told me 'bout this
I said yeah, yeah."

Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
THE WAITING

...And ride in his grandad's canoe
We teach hima bout life
And its simple pleasures
And pass down a memory or two...

Whippoorwill River by Vince Gill


I would never get that spelling correct, lol.


"I know you're sad and lonely,
I know you're feeling blue,
You miss him so much,
Won't let me get too close to you."

Your signature is perfect, ~67 Old fashoined in a new-fashioned tech kinda way.



Girl, you gotta listen ... don't you know
He Ain't Worth Missing
by Toby Keith

For now I smell the rain,
And with it pain,
And it's headed my way.
Ah, sometimes I grow so tired,
But I know I've got one thing I got to do...

Ramble On by Led Zeppelin


"It's gonna take a little time.
Time is sure to mend your broken heart,
Don't you even worry, pretty darlin',
I know you'll find love again, yeah."

LOL TexasAngel~67.. no need for a google this time tehe.. I love this song.. I have the video. It's a live show.. It's wonderful. Lovin' the Tesla

Love Song
by Tesla

So you think that it's over,
That your love has fin'lly reached the end.
Any time you call, night or day,
I'll be right there for you if you need a friend.

It's gonna take a little time.
Time is sure to mend your broken heart.
Don't you even worry, pretty darlin'.
I know you'll find love again. Yeah.

Chorus:
Love is all around you. Yeah
Love is knockin' outside *YOUR* door.
Waitin' for you is this love made just for two
Keep an open heart and you'll find love again, I know.

Love is all around you.
Love is knockin' outside **YOUR** door.
Waitin' for you is this love made just for two
Keep an open heart and you'll find love again, I know.

Love will find a way.
Darlin', love is gonna find a way,
Find its way back to you.
Love will find a way.
So look around, open your eyes.
Love is gonna find a way.
Love is gonna, love is gonna find a way.
Love will find a way.
Love's gonna find a way back to you, yeah,
I know. I know. I know.

TexasAngel.. I was worried to see what you typed up there about leaving BC.. and then I was relieved to see you changed your mind. I am so very glad.

I'm gonna take a freight train, down at the station, Lord
I don't care where it goes
Gonna climb me a mountain, the highest mountain, Lord,
Gonna jump off, nobody gonna know

From those "Fire On the Mountain" boys away down South...
TY, Pandy, they've been one o' my favorites for a long, long time...

Marshall Tucker Band
Can't You See

If I was a pair of boots I wouldn't have to beg
I'd be satisfied just being around your leg
When I am dreaming it takes so many trips
I'd pretend that I'm a stick to decorate your lips

If I had my wishes, If I had my way
I'd be all the same to you, each and everyday

J. J. Cale Lyrics ~ Closer to You

Woo!! That sounds like a great song. I have never heard of J.J. Cale before.. but those lyrics are very lovely. LOL *swoon* lol

Now the seats are all empty
Let the roadies take the stage
Pack it up and tear it down
They're the first to come and last to leave
Working for that minimum wage
They'll set it up in another town

"Running On Empty" Jackson Browne

My baby’s gone and I don’t know why
She let out this morning
Like a rusty shot in a hollow sky
Left me without warning
Sooner than the dogs could bark
And faster than the sun rose
Down to the banks in an old mule car
She took a flatboat across the shallow

Crossing Muddy Waters ~ by John Hiatt

Oh Boy phawg.. Don't tell me I stumped you. I really can't believe it. LOL I guess I will just see if someone else can get it and let them post the next song.

er, ahh... it was off Running on Empty..... Stay would be the right answer.

LOL phawgg .. Yup, Load Out/Stay.. and now that you guessed it you get to post a new song.

Oh, OK...gimme a few minutes though, two in a row is kinda tough
