kathy lied
I was halfway crucified
I was on the other side of no tomorrow
You walked in
and my life began again
just when I'd spent the last Piaster I could borrow...

Can you hear me Dr. Wu ?
Are you really just a shadow of the man that I once knew
She is lovely yes she's shy
and you're an ordinary guy
Have you done all you can do ?
Are you with me Dr. ?

I would contribute something, but my mind is a blank.

I've been drivin' all night
My hands wet on the wheel
And the voice in my head
that drives my heel
But it's my baby calling
says : "I need you here'
And it's a half past four and I'm shiftin' gear...

When she gets lonely and annoyance gets too much
She sends a cable, coming in from above
We don't need a wire at all

We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a wave in the air.....Radar Love

The radio is playing some forgotten song
Brenda Lee coming on strong
The road has got me, every time
And I think I'm gonna lose my mind

When I get lonely and I'm sure I had enough
She sends her comfort coming in from above
We don't need a wire at all

We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a light in the sky...

No more speed I'm almost there
Gotta keep cool now gotta take care
Now it's quarter past, here I go
And the last car slows down real slow
And the radio played some forgotten song
Brenda Lee coming on strong
And the newsman sang his own song :
Woah one more Radar Lover gone...

When I get lonely and I'm sure I had enough
She sends her comfort coming in from above
We don't need a wire at all

We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a light in the sky...

We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a thing in the air
Radar Love.....


Barry Hay/George Kooymans

There's a blossom tree/On the corner of the road/By a shop which sold ice-cream/Once/Now there's a crumbling ruin/And a blossom tree/There's a blossom tree/On the corner of the road.

But they killed the tree/And knocked down the shop/Now there's just piles/Of bricks/And the dying stump/Of a blossom tree/They killed the blossom tree/On the corner of the road.

There was a blossom tree/On the corner of the road/I thought of it as love/Beautiful/Yet curiously fragile/Like a blossom tree/They killed the blossom tree/On the corner of the road.

There was a blossom tree/On the corner of the road/It whispered to me secrets/Of love/Love will not be killed/Like the blossom tree/They killed the blossom tree/On the corner of the road.

There was a blossom tree/On the corner of the road/A blossom tree/They killed the blossom tree/But they won't get love.

Woke last night
To the sound of thunder
How far off
I sat and wondered
Started humming a song from 1962
Ain't it funny how the night moves
When ya just don't seem to
Have as much to lose
Strange how the night moves

We're older now but
still runnin against the wind

---

Later in the ev'ning
As you lie awake in bed
With the echoes from the amplifiers
Ringing in your head
You smoke the days last cigarette
Rememb'rin what she said

---

Does anyone detect a pattern?

Yes Nice one Anonymouse

I get camping eyes in the final hour
last minute shoppers picking cauliflower
the fuss the make, you'd swear they were buying a car.

Always moan, moan it's not so cheap
cheaper still, cheaper still down the street,
I lose my rag and tell them take your bag and shop down there
Closing down, closing down another road
One way system steals the show
Mac the Knife swigs a can and sings the day away

There's more life, more life, more life, in a tramps vest.
More life, more life, more life, in a tramps vest.

Flower man sits down in the street
surrounded by stock he bought back last week
bring back back the ladies wearing lipstick on their teeth
make up, make up a crappy joke,
Sit back relax, and have a smoke,
Mac the Knife swigs a can and sings the day away

There's more life, more life, more life, in a tramps vest.

we all face the same way,
still in takes all day,
take a look to my left,
pick out the worst and the best,
she paints her lip,
greasy and thick,
another mirror stare,
and shes going where,

another office affair
to kill an unborn scare
talk dirty to a preist
makes them human at least
is she running away
to start a brand new day
or is she going home
why's she driving alone

is anyone, going anywhere
everyones gotta be, somewhere

she got a body in the boot,
or just bags full of food
those are models legs
are they womens are they mens
she shouts down the phone
missed a payment on the loan
she gotta be above the rest
keeping up with the best

is anyone, going anywhere
everyones gotta be, somewhere

wait tables for a crook
wrote a hard back book
teach kids how to read
sell your body on the street
a nurse without a job
another uptown snob
but have i got ya all wrong
1 look and you were gone.

is anyone, going anywhere
everyones gotta be, somewhere

Why yes.. We do...

I'm gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watchin the tide roll away
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home

Every night I watch the light
From the house up on the hill
I know a little girl that lives up there
And I guess I always will
But I don't dare knock on her door
Cause her daddy is my boss man
So I'll just have to be content
To see her whenever I can

Down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks
People put me down
Cause that's the side of town
I was born in
I love her
She loves me
But I don't fit her society
Lord have mercy on a boy
From down in the boondocks

*I don't want
a place to stay
Get your booty on the floor tonight
Make my day!*

no, these are pretty ranchy.
Relax, dont do it, when you wanna cum. (literally)
Frankie goes to hollywood

Frankie and Johnny were lovers
Oh golly how they could love
They promised to be true to each other
As true as the stars above

*ahem* ...

You are welcome Saffire I just LOVE that site.....for obvious reasons .....keep going Nonny!!
