Brilliant song milady!

She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet was the night

[Bobby Vee]

Black Velvet in a little boy's smile,
Black velvet in that old southern style,
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees,
Black velvet, if you please...

Allanah Myles

We share the same taste in music I think Jabs

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight, I’m
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

REM

I don't know why.... I never told you
I don't know why... I never tried
Well we shared these bits of skins again (skins again)
All the reasons come to life.

But now it's over... Now it's over...

I don't know why I love you like I do
I don't know why I just do
I don't know why you thrill me like you do
I don't know why but you do

You never seem to want my romancin'
And the only time you hold me is when we're dancin'
I don't know why I love you like I do
I don't know why I just do

Tony Bennett

This is the way it's got to be!
This is the way it's got to be!
This is the way it's got to be!
This is the way it's got to be!
This is the way it's got to be!
This is the way it's got to be!

[from Oddity by Coal Chamber]

Get your motor running,
Head out on the highway,
Looking for adventure,
In whatever comes our way.

Like a true nature child we were born, born to be wild.
We have climbed so high,
Never wanted to die.

Born to be wild,
Born to be wild,
Born to be wild.

[Steppenwolf]

The pulse has been rising
My temples are pounding
The pressure is so overwhelming
And building
I'm standing here fretting
Ready to blow
What is she...?
What is she...?
What is she waiting for?!!
[pray...] Pray 'til I go blind
[pray...] Pray, for no-one ever survives
[pray...] Pray to stay alive, just to die a little longer...
Saviors and saints and devils and demons alike
She'll eat you alive!

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

I'm a winner, I'm a sinner
Do you want my autograph
I'm a loser, what a joker
I'm playing my jokes upon you
While there's nothing better to do


[Supertramp: Breakfast In America]

Master of the wit and the repartee
His command of space directives is uncanny
How come he's such a genius? Don't ask me!
Ask Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer

He's also a fantastic swimmer
And if you play your cards right
Then he just might come round for dinner
He's Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily,
joyfully, playfully watching me.
But then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible,
logical, responsible, practical.
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
clinical, intellectual, cynical.

[Supertramp--The Logical Song]

When I was young my father said
"Son I have something to say"
And what he told me I'll never forget
until my dyin' day.
He said "Son you are a bachelor boy
and that's the way to stay.
Son, you be a bachelor boy until your dyin' day

Cliff Richard

Sing if you're glad to be Gay
Sing if you like it that way, hey.


[Tom Robinson]

Song sung blue
Everybody knows one
Song sung blue
Every garden grows one

Neil Diamond

Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth
You pull on your finger, then another finger, then your cigarette
The wall-to-wall is calling, it lingers, then you forget
Ohhh how how now, you’re a rock ’n’ roll suicide.

You’re too old to lose it, too young to choose it
And the clocks wait so patiently on your song
You walk past a cafe but you don’t eat when you’ve lived too long
Oh, no, no, no, you’re a rock ’n’ roll suicide.


[Bowie: Rock ’n’ Roll Suicide]

Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly

Every little thing that you say or do
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call
Baby night and day
I'm fed up
I'm tired of waiting on you

Madonna 'Hung Up'

There's no time for love
Where the wild ones live
It's the way of the wicked
Where the wild ones live
Born victims of fear
Born into a life where pain is your very best friend.

Here the b*st*rds screaming
They wake you from your dreaming
Can you feel it primitively
Possitively definitely
Just pretention born to kill
Natural selection born to kill

Sofistication you don't have to cry
Racial menstruation you don't have to die

Gillan - Born To Kill

I got half a mind to scream out loud
I got half a mind to die
So I won't ever have to lose you girl
Won't ever have to say goodbye
I won't ever have to lie
Won't ever have to say goodbye

They say for every boy and girl
There's just one love in this whole world
And I know I've found mine
The heavenly touch of your embrace
Tells me no one could take your place
Ever in my heart

Young love (young love), first love (first love)
Filled with true devotion
Young love (young love), our love (our love)
We share with deep emotion

Tab Hunter [1955]
