h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

It's been a hard days night
And I've been sleeping like a dog

?

Hold me, love me, hold me, love me.
Ain't got nothin'but love babe,
Eight days a week.

And I'm giving you a longing look
Everyday, everyday, everyday I write the book

Well, that'll be the day, when you say goodbye
Yes, that'll be the day, when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day when I die

Yes, they'll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak tree
as they lay me neath the green, green grass of home.

Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the old oak tree.
it's been 3 long years,
do you still want me?

She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew,
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew;
You may talk about your Clementine, and sing of Rosalee,
But the yellow rose of Texas is the only girl for me.

[Full lyrics and good synth soundtrack at http://www.niehs.nih.gov/kids/lyrics/yellowrose.htm]

Diamonds are forever
They are all I need to please me
They can stimulate and tease me
They won't leave in the night,
I've no fear that they might desert me

post 13061 should have been 'working'

Freudian slip I'm afraid

"Diamonds are forever"

I need to watch things die
From a good safe distance
Vicariously, I
Live while the whole world dies

[From Vicariour by Tool on their new album 10,000 days which I'm just prsently exploring...]

Living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl

[Forever...mortality ]

Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today, madam,
Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today.
She is sorry to be delayed,
but last night down in Lover's Lane she strayed, madam,
Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today.

When she woke up and found that her dream of love was gone, madam,
She ran to the man who had led her so far astray,
And from under her velvet gown,
She drew a gun and shot her lover down, madam,
Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today.

Sorry, simulpost with e.s.

Bang-bang - my baby shot me down.

Seen a shooting star tonight
And I thought of you.

Bob Dylan - Shooting Star

*resists temptation to use 'thinking of you' by A Perfect Circle*

Lost in time I can't count the words
I said when I thought they went unheard
All of those harsh thoughts so unkind
'cos I wanted you

[from weak as I am performed by Skunk Anansie]

The very thought of you and I forget to do
The very ordinary things that everyone ought to do...

...I see you face in every flower, your eyes in stars above,
It's just the thought of you, the very thought of you, my love.

the more I see you,
the more I want you,
somehow this feeling,
just grows and grows,

I want to be loved by you, by you and nobody else but you
I want to be loved by you alone
