I remember my parents always talking about the 40's as the good old days...and now for me, the 60's are the good old days.
Funny..for me it is the 50's and the 80's!
Carole King said it best.
"These are the Good Old Days!"
(except it was carly simon)
Me too, Dlowan, but I can't spring for it too often. On lower end wines, I like an ordinary sauvignon blanc over a ordinary chard.
fealola, Nah, you're not vain. Just saw James Taylor singing behind a commercial. A lot of that these days.
From bullfrogs to wine to music:
Mary Hopkins:
Those were the days my friends,
We thought they'd never end.
Back later with the rest of the story.
Here tis:
Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours
And think of all the great things we would do
Chorus:
Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
Then the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the way
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern
We'd smile at one another and we'd say
Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days
Oh, yes, those were the days
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
Just tonight I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
In the glass I saw a strange reflection
Was that lonely woman really me?
Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days
Oh, yes, those were the days
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
Through the door there came familiar laughter
I saw your face and heard you call my name
Oh, my friend, we're older but no wiser
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same...
Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days
Oh, yes, those were the days
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
I know. James Taylor. Working for the phone company!
Carole King, Carly Simon...
Oops...
(prefer Joni anyway...)
Seal, that should be "....dresses it in drag...."
My daddy had a mongrel pup,
His name for her was clever.
He called her "pooch"
And she could howl
When asked about the weather.
Still amazed about Hoyt Axton--star of Gremlins.
And which Joni is that, puppy, love?
Och... typos, typos. It'll be changed shortly.
And...
Mitchell, ya goof!
Man, you get 'ippies started an' ......
They start right up... all you gotta do is figure out where to put the key.
Anyone see where the bus is at?
"comin' into los angles
bringin' in a couple of keys
don't touch my bags if you please
Mr. customs man."
Hey, you brats always get me back in here just when I'm ready to go to bed....
Love this:
Bad boys, you are.
Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way
Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So so many things I could've done
But clouds
Angel dust gets in your eyes, your hair
On acid stars you're getting there
My body's assembled into
A little itty-bitty gift to you
When you die, I've looked at life that way
But now it's just another show
You leave 'em laughing when you go
So, so don't let them inside, don't let them know
Don't give yourself ohh away
But now my friends are acting strange
They shake their heads man, they say I've changed, well
Well, something's lost, rearranged
From living every, every, every, I've
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
I'ts just illusions I recall
I really don't know, I really don't know
I really don't know, I really don't know
I really don't, I really don't clouds at all
Why are we here...terrified, terrified, wow!
Goodnight once again..and this time I gots to mean it...
I hear ya Letty...love those songs.
Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco bay
'Cause I've had nothing to live for
And look like nothin's gonna come my way
So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Look like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, yes
Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home
Now, I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Oooo-wee, sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
(whistle)
Anyone dropped into Alice's Restaurant lately?
