I Love Lyrics

That was "500 Miles" by Peter Paul and Mary

Won't you look down upon me, Jesus
You've got to help me make a stand
You've just got to see me through another day
My body's aching and my time is at hand
I won't make it any other way.

(Man, today that song from my childhood sounds like a cancer song *sigh*)

A Day in the Life - Beatles

Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper
I love you
Birds singin' in the sycamore tree..

Eve of Destruction - Barry McGuire

(hi BabyandJohnny, welcome to BCO)

Some folks are born to wave the flag,
Ooh, they're red, white and blue.
And when the band plays "Hail to the Chief",
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord.

Talking Heads - Psycho Killer

Here's mine:

I'm a man of my convictions.

Call me wrong, call me right.

But I bring my better angels to every fight.

It Ain't Me Babe - Bob Dylan

Here's mine:

If you ever get close to a human
Be ready, be ready to get confused
There's definitely, definitely, definitely no logic
But yet so, yet so irresistible

And there's no map
and a compass
wouldn't help at all

They're terribly moody
Then all of a sudden turn happy

[Edit: oops, thought the above was late 80s, but it's early 90s...  sorry!  Great song, though!]

 Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison

 In a cafe or sometimes on a crowded street,

 I've been near you, but you never notice me....

My Cherie Amour -- Stevie Wonder

Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you

American Tune - Paul Simon

Hop in my Chrysler, it's as big as a whale and it's about to set sail
I got me a car, like, it seats about 20
So come on and bring your jukebox money

 The Locomotion - can't think of the original artist, sorry. I know Kylie Minogue recorded it in late 80s!

 Dirty old river, just keep on flowing, flowing into the night,

 People so busy, makes me feel dizzy, taxi light shines so bright,

 But I don't feel afraid, as long as I gaze on......

 It's Waterloo Sunset, by the Kinks - really good 60's English group, who I think are still going now.

 How about this one (not 100% certain on all the lyrics, though!) -

 Baked beans and soup doesn't really grab me

 Today I need something more sub sub sub..stantial

 A can of peas, some black-eyed beans, some Nescafe and ice,

 Candy bar, a falling star or a reading from Dr Seuss....

Call me when you try to wake her up.

Call me when you try to wake her.

REM - The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite  (one of my favorite bands)

Here's mine:

Call me up in the middle of the night

Like a firefly without a light

You were there like a slow torch burning

I was a key that could use a little turning

Sweet Dreams - The Eurythmics

And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart
to see if it was safe outside
And little Early-Burly came by in his curly-wurly
and asked me if I needed a ride.  

(windlass, it is Eurythmics but it's Here Comes the Rain Again)

Suzanne yours is Foreigner - Feels Like the First Time

It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
I had the radio on, I was drivin'
Trees flew by, me and Del were singin' Little Runaway
I was flyin'

The best of times. Styx



Before I put another notch in my lipstick case, you better make sure you put me in my place......
