#A sad fact widely known
How a most passionate song to a lonely soul
is so easily outgrown

But don't forget the songs that made you smile
and the songs that made you cry ...

oh oh a Rubber Ring
Rubber Ring
Rubber Ring

The passing of time and all of its sickening crimes
is making me sad again

But don't forget the songs that made you cry
and the songs that saved your life

Yes, you're older now
and you're a clever swine
but they were the only ones
who ever stood by you ...

oh oh a Rubber Ring
Rubber Ring
Rubber Ring

Do
you
love me like you used to?

oh oh a Rubber Ring
Rubber Ring
Rubber Ring#

Everybody's clever nowadays

Wow, a day and a half away from the party and look what happens

"So if there's something you'd like to try
if there's something you'd like to try
ask me I won't say no, how could I?
So ask me, ask me, ask me,
ask me, ask me, ask me,
Because if it's not love
then it's the bomb, the bomb, the bomb, the bomb,
the bomb that will bring us together."

Did I miss a bomb or two?

Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart,
And you'll never walk
alooooonnnnee
You'll neeeeeeveeeerrr walk
aloone

"WEll, it's one for the money
Two for the show
three to get ready
Now go cat, go,
But don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but stay offa my blue suede shoes..."

Did I mention that I am Elvis fan? And yes i know this song was originally by Perkins and not Elvis, but still.....

Dig if you will the picture
Of you and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers me
Can you my darling can you picture this
Dream if you will a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat the heat between me and you
How can you just leave me standing
Alone in a world that's so cold?
Maybe I'm just too demanding maybe I'm just like my father too bold
Maybe you're just like my mother she's never satisfied
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like when doves cry

What's the matter with your life?
Is the poverty bringing U down?
Is the mailman jerking U 'round?
Did he put your million dollar check
In someone else's box?

Tell me, what's the matter with your world?
Was it a boy when U wanted a girl?
Don't U know straight hair ain't got no curl?
Life it ain't real funky
Unless it's got that pop
Dig it

Pop life
Everybody needs a thrill
Pop life
We all got a space 2 fill
Pop life
Everybody can't be on top
But life it ain't real funky
Unless it's got that pop
Dig it

Tell me, what's that underneath your hair?
Is there anybody living there?
U can't get over, if U say U just don't care
Show me a boy who stays in school
And I'll show U a boy aware!
Dig it

Pop life
Everybody needs a thrill
Pop life
We all got a space 2 fill
Pop life
Everybody can't be on top
But life it ain't real funky
Unless it's got that pop
Dig it

What U putting in your nose?
Is that where all your money goes?
The river of addiction flows
U think it's hot,
But there won't be no water when the fire blows
Dig it

Pop life
Everybody needs a thrill
Pop life
We all got a space 2 fill
Pop life
Everybody wants to be on top
But life it ain't real funky
Unless it's got that pop
Dig it

i am going to bring it back to the 90's for a second here, but with a 70's disco funk to it

"i need your love, i need your love, i need your love, i need your love,
i need your love, i need your love, i need your love, i need your love,
you, give me light, so tonight, take me there,
i feel your soul, start to glow, and i know it, let me show you that,
i want your love, i need your touch for the rest, of our time together baby,
come fly with me, eternally, you and me, we were meant to be,
yea hea, alright (right now), we'll spend the night together, wake up and live forever,
yea hea, alright (right now), we'll spend the night together, wake up and live forever, yea hea
oh, we got to come together many (?), hoo hoo hoo, its alright now
i see you, hold the key, till my lovers dies
summer in your smile, well it make me feel, so real (so real)
you tell me things, and my heart sings to the world,
from islands in the sky. take my hand, its what we will send,
you know its never never, to say hello to forever,
yeah hea, alright (right now), we'll spend the night together, wake up and live forever,
yeah hea, alright (right now), we'll spend the night together, wake up and live forever,
yeah hea, alright (right now), we'll spend the night together, wake up and live forever,
yeah hea, alright (right now), we'll spend the night together, wake up and live forever.

I've got to know if this is the real thing
I've got to know what's making my heart sing
You smile and I'm lost for a lifetime
Each minute spent with you is the right time
Every hour every day
You touch me and my mind goes astray
Baby baby...
Somethings gotton hold of my hand
Dragging my soul to a beautiful land
Something has invaded my nights
Changing my dreams with a colour so bright
Changing the greys changing the blues
Scarlet for me and scarlet for you.

Yes, you missed two. That song was just running through my head yesterday, as it happens....

Spending warm summer days indoors
Writing frightening verse
To a buck-toothed girl in Luxembourg....

By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be rising
She'll find the note I left hangin' on her door
She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leaving
'Cause I've left that girl so many times before

By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be working
She'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call
But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringing
Off the wall
that's all

By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleeping
She'll turn softly and call my name out loud
And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her
Though time after time I tried to tell her so
She just didn't know I would really go
That I would really go.

It's not karaoke without Abba...
"When your all alone and the pretty birds have flown
Honey I'm still free Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best and it aint no lie
If you put me to the test if you make me try
Take a chance on me..."

...or The Rutles...

I have always thought in the back of my mind, Cheese and Onions,

I have always thought that the world was unkind, Cheese and Onions,

Do I have to spell it out ?

C-H-E-E-S-E A-N-D O-N-I-O-N-S,
oh no.

I was afraid of that, but wouldn't the world be better off without a few less bombs?

I am impressed/awed!!! I was talking about 'Ziggy Stardust...' Same album all around except for last song. You got it-one is Rock & Roll Suicide, other is Lady Stardust. I, however, do not have
The Jean Genie
Rarest One Bowie
Rarest One Bowie II
Bowie BBC 69-72 -never knew this one existed.

I bow to your superior knowledge
Though MM assures me that " Superiority is a state of mind" LOL
Oh, what about 'The Man Who Sold The World' ?
It's rather dark-with a definite political flavor. I like it.

Luna

Well, since there's noone else around...

"...there's not a soul out theeere
noone to hear my prayeeeeeeeeeer

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Taake me through the darkness to the break of the day"

*Without* a few less bombs? Not really, no.

A-hem! *grabs the microphone*

Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
Take a look in the mirror and cry
Lord, what you're doing to me
I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief, Lord!
Somebody, somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
...
..
.

Everytime we say goodbye, I die a little
Everytime we say goodbye, I wonder why a little

Why the gods above me, who must be in the know
Think so little of me they allow you to go

When you're near there's such an air of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere begin to sing about it

There's no love song finer,
but how strange the change from major to minor
Everytime we say goodbye

oops

And In the end
THe love you take
Is equal to the love you make

AHHHH AHHHHHHHH.

Or
She came in through the bathroom window
protected by her silver spoon

(Sorry I've forgotten,help here please)
I remember this bit

Didn't anybody tell her
didn't anybody care
Sundays on the phone to Monday
Tuesdays on the Phone to me
Oh YEah!
