Just Another Day In Paradise Lyrics
(Craig Wiseman/Phil Vassar)


The kids screaming, phone ringing
Dog barking at the mailman bringing
That stack of bills - overdue
Good morning baby, how are you?
Got a half hour, quick shower
Take a drink of milk but the milk's gone sour
My funny face makes you laugh
Twist the top on and I put it back
There goes the washing machine
Baby, don't kick it.
I promise I'll fix it
Long about a million other things

Well, it's ok. It's so nice
It's just another day in paradise
Well, there's no place that
I'd rather be
Well, it's two hearts
And one dream
I wouldn't trade it for anything
And I ask the lord every night
For just another day in paradise

Friday, you're late
Guess we'll never make our dinner date
At the restaurant you start to cry
Baby, we'll just improvise
Well, plan B looks like
Dominoes' pizza in the candle light
Then we'll tippy toe to our room
Make a little love that's overdue
But somebody had a bad dream
Mama and daddy
Can me and my teddy
Come in to sleep in between?

Yeah it's ok. It's so nice.
It's just another day in paradise.
Well, there's no place that
I'd rather be
Well, it's two hearts
And one dream
I wouldn't trade it for anything
And I ask the lord every night
For just another day in paradise

Well, it's ok. It's so nice.
It's just another day in paradise.
Well, there's no place that
I'd rather be
Two hearts
And one dream
I wouldn't trade it for anything
And I ask the lord every night
For just another day in paradise

For just another day in paradise
Well, it's the kids screaming. The phone ringing
Just another day
Well, it's Friday. You're late
Oh yeah, it's just another day in paradise

Well, Try. I was wondering about you, and now I see where you have been. <smile> Those lyrics sound vaguely familiar, buddy.

News from the entertainment world:

New wave music impresario Ian Copeland dead at 57 Wed May 24, 5:53 PM



LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Ian Copeland, a pioneering booking agent and music promoter credited with helping launch the "new wave" alternative rock movement of the 1970s and '80s with such bands as the Police, the B-52's and R.E.M, has died at age 57, relatives said on Wednesday.


Copeland succumbed to melanoma on Tuesday at his home in Los Angeles where he was surrounded by family members, including younger brother Stewart Copeland, a founder and drummer of the Police, his publicist said.

With the help of older brother Miles, Copeland began his career in show business as a booking agent in London, where he discovered the Scottish funk outfit Average White Band, who made their debut in 1973 opening for Eric Clapton.

Copeland moved in the mid-1970s to Macon, Georgia, to work for the Paragon Agency, which booked tours for popular southern rock acts like Charlie Daniels, Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Allman Brothers Band.

So, listeners, let's hear a song from REM:


She Just Wants To Be Lyrics
R.E.M.

It's not that she walked away
Her world got smaller
All the usual places
The same destinations
Only something's changed.

It's not that she wasn't rewarded
With pomegranate afternoons
And Mingus, Chet Baker and chess
It's not stampede and fortune
Of prim affectations
She's off on a riot
And she knows now
Is greater than the whole
Of the past
Is greater and now she knows

She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be.
She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be.

It's not that the transparency
Of her earlier incarnations
Now looked back on
Were rich and loaded
With beautiful vulnerability
But now she knows
Now is greater
And she knows that.

She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be
She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be.

Now is greater
Now is greater
And she knows that.

She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be.
She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be.

She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be.
She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be.

It's not like if angels
Could truly look down
Stir up the trappings
A light on the ground
Remind us of what, when, why or who
The how's up to us
Me and you
And now is greater than the whole
Of the past
Is greater and now she knows that.

Now she knows.

Now she knowns not to light…

Candles In The Rain
As recorded by Melanie

Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown.

We were so close, there was no room
We bled inside each other's wounds
We all had caught the same disease
And we all sang the songs of peace.

Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown.

So raise the candles high
'Cause if you don't we could stay black against the night
Oh raise them higher again
And if you do we could stay dry against the rain.

Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown.

We were so close, there was no room
We bled inside each other's wounds
We all had caught the same disease
And we all sang the songs of peace
Some came to sing, some came to pray
Some came to keep, the dark away

So raise the candles high
'Cause if you don't we could stay black against the sky, oh
Oh, raise them higher again
And if you do we could stay dry against the rain.

Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown, you gotta
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down, you gotta
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown.

Try, that was powerful, honey. I especially feel these lines:

smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown.

We were so close, there was no room
We bled inside each other's wounds
We all had caught the same disease
And we all sang the songs of peace
Some came to sing, some came to pray
Some came to keep, the dark away

So raise the candles high.

And another song of light, folks:


So many nights I'd sit by my window
Waiting for someone to sing me his song
So many dreams I kept deep inside me
Alone in the dark but now you've come along

And you light up my life
You give me hope to carry on
You light up my days and fill my nights with song

Rollin' at sea, adrift on the water
Could it be finally I'm turnin' for home?


Finally a chance to say "Hey, I love you"
Never again to be all alone


'cause you, you light up my life
You give me hope to carry on
You light up my days and fill my nights with song

It can't be wrong
When it feels so right
'cause you.....you light up my life

I have gotta find out who sang that, but first…


ABC

(As recorded by The Jackson Five)
"THE CORPORATION" (TM)

You went to school to learn girl
Things you never, never knew before (hi hi)
Like "I" before "E" except after "C"
And why two plus two makes four, now now now
I'm gonna teach you, (teach you, teach you) all about love dear (all about love)
Sit yourself down, take a seat
Oh all you gotta do is repeat after me

ABC, easy as 123
Oh, simple as Do Re Mi
ABC, 123 baby you and me girl
ABC, easy as 123
Oh simple as Do Re Mi
ABC 123, baby you and me girl (let me love you just a little bit)

Come on, let me love you just a little bit
I'm a-gonna teach you how to sing it out
Com-a, com-a, come on let me show you what it's all about

Reading and writing, 'rithmetic
Are the branches of the learning tree
Without the roots of a love let me tell ya girl
Your education ain't complete, tee tee
Teacher's gonna show you, (show you, show you) how to get an "A" (how to get an "A")
Spell "me" "you," add the two
Listen to me baby, that's all you gotta do

Oh, ABC it's easy as 123
Oh, simple as Do Re Mi
ABC, 123 baby you and me girl
ABC, it's easy, it's like counting up to 3
Sing a simple melody
That's how easy love can be
That's how easy love can be
Sing a simple melody
123, you and me!

Yeah...yeah!

Sit down girl I think I love ya!
No, get up girl, show me what you can do!
Shake it, shake it baby, come on now
Shake it, shake it baby, oo oo
Shake it, shake it baby, help me
123, baby, oo oo
ABC, baby, now now
Do Re Mi, baby
Now, that's how easy love can be

ABC, it's easy
It's like counting up to 3
Sing a simple melody
That's how easy love can be

Come on gonna teach how to sing it out
Com-a, com-a, come on let me show you what it's all about
ABC, it's easy
It's like counting up to 3
Sing a simple melody
That's how easy love can be

It may have been a one-hit wonder, but it's got a good beat, no doubt.
Love the Jackson Five song, by the way.

Tom Cochrane
Life Is A Highway

Life's like a road that you travel on
When there's one day here and the next day gone
Sometimes you bend sometimes you stand
Sometimes you turn your back to the wind
There's a world outside every darkened Door
Where blues won't haunt you anymore
Where the brave are free and lovers soar
Come ride with me to the distant shore
We won't hesitate break down the garden gate
There's not much left today

Life is a highway
I want to ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I want to drive it all night long

Through all the cities and all these towns
It's in my blood and it's all around
I love you now like I loved you then
This is the road and these are the hands
From mozambique to those memphis nights
The khyber pass to vancouver's lights
Knock me down get back up again
You're in my blood I'm not a lonely man

There's no load I can't hold
Road so rough this I know
I'll bee there when the light comes in
Tell 'em we're survivors

Life is a highway
I want to ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I want to drive it all night long

There was a distance between you and I
A misunderstanding once but now
We look it in the eye

There's no load I can't hold
Road so rough this I know
I'll be there when the light comes in
Tell 'em we're survivors

Life is a highway
I want to ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I want to drive it all night long

It's because of all this driving…


Big Yellow Taxi

JONI MITCHELL Lyrics

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a botique and a swinging hot spot.

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone?
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
(Woo, pa-pa-pa-pa. Woo, pa-pa-pa-pa).

They took all the the trees and put them in a tree museum
And they charged all the people a dollar and a half just to see 'em.

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone?
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
(Woo, pa-pa-pa-pa. Woo, pa-pa-pa-pa).

Hey, farmer, farmer, put away that D.D.T. now
Give me spots on my apples, but leave me the birds and the bees, please!

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone?
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
(Woo, pa-pa-pa-pa. Woo, pa-pa-pa-pa).

Late last night I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi took away my old man.

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone?
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
(Woo, pa-pa-pa-pa. Woo, pa-pa-pa-pa).
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.

Ah, you guys do know how to keep things alive.

Incidentally, Arthur and Try. Debbie Boone and Lee Ann Rimes sang "You Light up my Life." I like the melody.

My goodness, listeners, The Jackson Five? Love the highway songs, cause I just got off A1A where the drivin' was easy, and the ocean? What a wonderful piece of work. At the super market I engaged in a mock fencing match with a teen age kid who was a wonderful sport.

Shall we change pace? I love this fox song, and you must guess who did it:


(chorus)
She walks through the corn leadin down to the river
Her hair shone like gold in the hot mornin sun
She took all the love that a poor boy could give her
And left me to die like a fox on the run
Like a fox, like a fox, like a fox on the run

Now everybody knows the reason for my fall
A woman tempted me down in paradise hall
This woman tempted me and she took me for a ride
Like a lonely fox, boys, I need a place to hide

(chorus)

Oh, well drink a glass of wine, boys, to purify our soul
Well talk about the world and the friends we used to know
I see a string of girls who have put me on before
The game is nearly over and the hounds are at the door

(chorus)

Tom Hall and Manfred Mann both had a rendition. "Fox on the Run"
I must admit, I used Google to find it.

Oh good, one I know.

FOX ON THE RUN (Tony Hazzard)

However, I bet it has been sung by many artists. That reminds me of…


PARADISE
(John Prine)

When I was a child my family would travel
Down to western Kentucky where my parents were born
There's a backwards old town that's often remembered
So many times that all my mem'ries're worn

Daddy won't you take me back to Muglenberg County
Down by the Green River where paradise lay
I'm sorry my son but you're too late in askin'
Mr Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

Now sometimes we float on down the Green River
By the abandoned old prison down by Adrie Hill
Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with the rifles
But empty pop bottles was all we would kill

Daddy won't you take me back to Muglenberg County
Then the coal company came with the world's largest shovels
They tortured the timber and they stripped all the land
They dug for the coal till the land was forsaken
And wrote it all down as the progress of man

Daddy won't you take me back to Muglenberg County

When I die let my body float down the Green River
Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester Dam
I'll be halfway to heaven with the paradise waitin'
Five miles away from wherever I am

Daddy won't you take me back to Muglenberg County

The Tale of Sir Robin

So, each of the knights went their separate ways.
Sir Robin rode north, through the dark forest of Ewing, accompanied by his
favorite minstrels.


Minstrel: song:

Bravely bold Sir Robin
Brought forth from Camelot.
He was not afraid to die,
Oh, brave Sir Robin!
He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways.
Brave, brave, brave Sir Robin.

He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp.
Or to have his eyes gouged out, and his elbows broken!
To have his kneecaps split, and his body burned away
And his limbs all hacked and mangled, brave Sir Robin.

His head smashed in and his heart cut out,
And his liver removed and his bowls unplugged,
And his nostrils raked and his bottom burnt off,
And his peni--

Robin: That's...That's, uh... That's enough music for now, lads. It looks
like there's getting work afoot.

Three headed knight: HALT!!!

Voice over: YES!! It was the dreaded Three Headed Knight, the fiercest
creature for *yards* around!
For second.... after second..., Robin held his own, but the
onslaught proved too much for the brave knight. Scarcely was
his armor damp, when Robin suddenly, dramatically, changed his
tactics!

Minstrel: (Robin)

Brave Sir Robin ran away. (No!)
Bravely ran away away.... (I didn't!)
When Danger reared its ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled (No!!)
Yes brave Sir Robin turned about (I didn't!)
And gallantly chickened out..

Bravely taking to his feet
For a very brave retreat

Bravely bravely bravely bravely (I never did!)
Bravely bravely bravely bravely (All lies!)
Bravely bravely brave Sir Robin! (I never!)


Voice over: Meanwhile, King Arthur and Bedevere, not more than a swallow's
flight away, had discovered something.

I bow in humble thanks to you, sir. You truly know and appreciate the fine arts.

The Song of the Knights of Camelot from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"

Launcelot: Look, my liege!

(fanfare)

Launcelot: Camelot!
Robin: Camelot!
Galahad: Camelot!
Patsy: (whispered) It's only a model.
Galahad: Shh!

Arthur: Knights, I bid you welcome to your new home. Let us ride...to
CAMELOT!

song:

We're knights of the round table, we dance whene're we're able.
We do routines, and border scenes, with footwork imp-e-cable;
We dine well here in Camelot, we eat ham and jam and spamalot.

We're knights of the round table, our shows are for-mid-able
Though many times, we're given rhymes, that are quite un-sing-able
We're not so bad in Camelot, we sing from the Dia-phragm alot!

Though we're tough and able,
Quite in-de-fa-ti-gable,
Between our quests, we seek incest and impersonate Clark Gable,
It's a busy life in Camelot:

I have to push the pram-a-lot!

Arthur: On second thought, let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place.
Others: Right, right....

No, problem, Arthur. Bio Bob had Tom among his celebs, and Raggedy played a tune by him.

My word, folks. Speaking of the Jackson Five, I found this by somebody else.

I can tell you've been hurt
By that look on your face, boy
Some girl brought sad into your happy world
You need love, but you're afraid that if you give in
Someone else will come along
And sock it to ya again

Chorus:
One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch, boy
Give it one more try before you give up on love
One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch, boy
I don't care what they say
I don't care what you heard

I could make you happy, baby,
Satisfy you too
But how can I if you won't give me a chance
To prove my love to you?
Won't you give me just one chance?
I'll give you my guarantee that you won't be hurt again

Repeat chorus

I've been noticing you, baby
For a long, long time
And I'm not ashamed to tell the world
That you really messed up my mind
Boy, to me you're like a dream come true
I'd rather hurt myself than to ever hurt you

Repeat chorus

My word, folks. I missed a bunch of stuff, and no one told me. For shame.

There's our dj back. Hey, Canada. I need to do a few things, so I will be back shortly.

Baby, The Rain Must Fall
Glenn Yarbrough

Some men climb a mountain
Some men swim the sea
Some men fly above the sky
They are what they must be

But, baby, the rain must fall
Baby, the wind must blow
Wherever my heart leads me
Baby, I must go
Baby, I must go

I do not love for silver
I do not lust for gold
My heart is mine to give away
It never will be sold

So, baby, the rain must fall
Baby, the wind must blow
Wherever my heart leads me
Baby, I must go
Baby, I must go

I am not rich or famous
But who can ever tell
I don't know now what waits for me
Maybe heaven, maybe hell

Baby, the rain must fall
Baby, the wind must blow
Wherever my heart leads me
Baby, I must go
Baby, I must go

Well, there's our edgar. Hey, Texas. Ah, yes. Baby the rain must fall, and I do wish it would here.

Now a dedication to dj and BoGoWo:



"Philip Lynott Jamaican Rum lyrics"

The woman she like to rumba
The woman she like calypso
The steel drums drive her crazy
And she can't seem to say no
She just can't seem to resist them, no

She's been drinking jamaican rum
Dancing to the steel drums from the caribbean
Drinking jamaican rum
It's that west indian rhythm

It was wild, it was wild
The night she came home drunk
She kicked in the door
And said lover you know what I want
Lover, give me what I want

She's been drinking jamaican rum
And she's living with a black man
He's from the caribbean
Drinking jamaican rum
She's been drinking jamaican rum
Dancing to the steel drums from the caribbean
Drinking jamaican rum
Rum and cola
It's very popular and it's twice as nice with ice

Whats a BoGoWo?
