Diamond Girl
As recorded by Seals and Crofts

Diamond girl, you sure do shine
Glad I found you, glad you're mine

Oh my love, you're like a precious stone
Part of earth, where heaven has rained on
Makes no difference where you are
Day or night time, you're like a shinin' star
How could I-I shine without you
When it's about you, that I am, woah-oh-oh.

Diamond girl, roamin' wild
Such a rare thing, radiant child.

I could never find another one like you
Part of me is deep down inside you
Can't you feel the whole world's a-turnin'
We are real and we are a-burnin', hey
Diamond girl now that I found you
Well it's around you that I am, woah-oh-oh.

Diamond girl, you sure do shine
Diamond girl, you sure do shine

Love that one, Try, so let's follow through:


Diamonds And Rust Lyrics
Joan Baez


I'll be damned, here comes your ghost again
but that's not unusual
it's just that the moon is full
and you decided to come
And here I sit, hand on the telephone
hearing the voice I'd known
a couple of light years ago
headed straight for a fall
But we both know what memories can bring
they bring Diamonds and Rust
yes we both know what memories can bring
they bring Diamonds and Rust
Now I see you standing with brown leaves all around and snow in your hair
Now we're smiling out the window of the crummy hotel over washington square
and then comes that white clouds, mingles and hangs in the air
Speaking strictly for me
we both could've died then and there
Now you're telling me you're not nostalgic
then give me another word for it
you were so good with words
and at keeping things paid
cause I need some of that vagueness now, it's all come back too clearly
yes, I love you dearly
and if you're offering me diamonds and rust
I've already paid
But we both know what memories can bring
they bring Diamonds and Rust
yes we both know what memories can bring
they bring Diamonds and Rust
Diamonds, Diamonds and Rust
Diamonds, Diamonds and Rust
Diamonds, Diamonds and Rust
Diamonds, Diamonds and Rust

an odd tune, from the band her space holiday


Home Is Where You Hang Yourself

I don't like the way that I've been
So unfeeling and full of sin
Trying hard but you can hardly tell
Home is where you hang yourself

Four months and seven days
You're still here and I'm amazed
I'm not a victim, I victimize
Tell me you love me, but there's hate in your eyes

And I'll be good
And I'll be fair
Just give me a chance
Let me know you care
I'll take it back
And make amends
The way it used to be
The best of friends

now mr costello had this to say about home

Home Is Anywhere You Hang Your Head

Here comes mr. misery
Hes tearing out his hair again
Hes crying over her again
Hes standing in the super-market shouting at the customers

Here comes mr. misery
Hell never be any good with a mouth full of gold and blood
Hes contemplating murder again
He must be in love

Chorus: but you know she doesnt want
But you cant seem to get it in your head
Oh and you cant sleep at night
And she haunts you when you go to bed
When youre tired of talking and you cant drink it down
So you hang around and drown instead
Home isnt where it used to be
Home is anywhere you hang your head

You hang your head
Home is anywhere
You hang your head
Home is anywhere
You hang your head
Home is anywhere you hang your head

Here comes mr. misery
Looking for a place for his mouth to shoot
Saying youd look cute in your birthday suit
You tore him out and screwed him up
Like a bad page in a naughty picture book

They day ended as it began
As he was seconds older than the man he was this morning
And the world has wiped its mouth since then
Or maybe it was yawning

Chorus

and mr thomas dolby can seemingly trace his history, to this so called home

One Of Our Submarines

One of our submarines is missing tonight
Seems she ran aground on manoeuvres
One of our submarines

A hungry heart
To regulate their breathing
One more night
the Winter Boys are freezing in their spam tin
The Baltic moon
Along the northern seaboard
And down below
The Winter Boys are waiting for the storm

Bye-bye empire, empire bye-bye
Shallow water - channel and tide

And I can trace my history
Down a generation to my home
In one of our submarines
One of our submarines

The red light flicker, sonar weak
Air valves hissing open
Half her pressure blown away
Flounder in the ocean
See the Winter Boys
Drinking heavy water from a stone

Bye-bye empire, empire bye-bye
Shallow water - channel and tide
Bye-bye empire, empire bye-bye
Tired illusion drown in the night

And I can trace my history
Down one generation to my home
In one of our submarines
One of our submarines
One of our submarines

One of our submarines is missing tonight
Seems she ran aground on manoeuveres
One of our submarines

Ah, dj. What is it about you Canucks that know just what to play and when to play it? Thanks for the odd ones and the old sod ones, buddy.

I was thinking tonight of our Navigator and wonder about him and his brother. I wonder if he can hear us play this one for him?

Everything Is Beautiful
As recorded by Ray Stevens


Jesus loves the little children
All the little children of the world
Red and yellow, black and white
They are precious in his sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world

Everything is beautiful in its own way
Like a starry summer night
Or a snow covered winter's day
And everybody's beautiful in their own way
And under God's heaven
The world's gonna find a way.

There is none so blind as he who will not see
We must not close our minds
We must let our thoughts be free
For every hour that passes by
You know the world gets a little bit older
It's time to realize that beauty lies
In the eyes of the beholder.

And everything is beautiful in its own way
Like a starry summer night
Or a snow covered winter's day
Ah, sing it children
Everybody's beautiful, oh in their own way
Under God's heaven the world's gonna find a way.

We shouldn't care about the length of his hair
Or the color of the skin
Don't worry about what shows from without
But the love that lives within
And we gonna get it all together now
Everything gonna work out fine
Just take a little time to look on the good side my friend
And straighten it out in your mind

And everything is beautiful in its own way
Like a starry summer night
Or a snow covered winter's day, ah sing it children
Everybody's beautiful, oh in their own way
Under God's heaven
The world's gonna find a way.

One more time
Everything is beautiful in its own way
Oh, in its own way
Like a starry summer night, or a snow covered winter's day.

and there's our Try, listeners, with a marvelous song by Rae. Thank you, buddy.

I trust that everyone had a nice long weekend, and is ready to begin the week anew.

Rolling Stones
Ruby Tuesday

She would never say where she came from
Yesterday don't matter if it's gone
While the sun is bright or in the darkkest night
No one knows, she comes and goes
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you
When you change with ev'ry new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
Don't question why she needs to be so free
She'll tell you it's the only way to be
She just can't be chained to a life where nothing's gained
And nothing's lost, at such a cost
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you
When you change with ev'ry new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
"There's no time to lose", I hear her say
Cash your dreams before they slip away
Dying all the time lose your dreams and you
Will lose your mind, ain't life unkind?
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you
When you change with ev'ry new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you
When you change with ev'ry new day
Still I'm gonna miss you

Good morning all.

A birthday tribute today to the guy with the voice that I'm sure make all of us chuckle at one time or another.

Good morning, Raggedy. Ah, Mel Blanc. For a moment there I drew a blank.

Remember this, folks?

Meet The Flintstones
Flintstones, Meet the Flintstones
They're a modern stone age family
From the, town of Bedrock
They're a page right out of history
Let's ride, with the family down the street
Through the, courtesy of Fred's two feet
When you're, with the Flintstones
Have a yabba, dabba, doo time
A dabba doo time
We'll have a gay, old time!

I also notice that our snapping turtle is back with his M.D. proudly held on a sheepskin <smile>

I still see those guy's on the cartoon network.



Dream Weaver
As recorded by Gary Wright

I've just closed my eyes again
Climbed aboard the dream weaver train
Driver, take away my worries of today
And leave tomorrow behind.

Woo dream weaver
I believe you can get me through the night
Woo dream weaver
I believe we can reach the morning light.

Fly me high through the starry skies
Or maybe to an astral plane
Cross the highways of fantasy
Help me to forget today's pain.

Woo dream weaver
I believe you can get me through the night
Woo dream weaver
I believe we can reach the morning light.

Though the dawn may be coming soon
There still may be some time
Fly me away to the bright side of the moon
And meet me on the other side.

Woo dream weaver
I believe you can get me through the night
Woo dream weaver
I believe we can reach the morning light.

Dream weaver
Dream weaver.

Which then takes us to

Artist: Bobby Darin
Song: Dream Lover

Ev'ry night, I hope and pray
A dream lover will come my way
A girl to hold in my arms
And know the magic of her charms

Because I want a girl
To call my own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone

Dream lover, where are you
With a love oh so true
And a hand that I can hold
To feel you near when I grow old?

Because I want a girl
To call my own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone

Someday--I don't know how
I hope you'll hear my please
Some way--I don't know how
She'll bring her love to me

Dream lover, until then
I'll go to sleep and dream again
That's the only thing to do
Until my lover's dreams come true

Because I want a girl
To call my own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone

Arthur, Welcome back, dear. Ah, yes. Dear Bobby. Since I adore this one, listeners:

Here is Kevin's version:

Artist: Kevin Spacey Lyrics
Song: Beyond the Sea Lyrics

Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailin'

Somewhere beyond the sea
She's there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on a high
Then straight to her arms
I'd go sailing

It is far beyond the stars
It is near beyond the moon
But I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon

We'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing

And I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet (I know we'll meet) beyond the shore
We're gonna kiss just as before
And happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing

No more sailing
So long sailing
Bye bye sailing

Someone does that same song behind a cruise line commercial. It may be Michael Buble. Whoever pronounces "sand" in a strange way.

Which returns us to…


Everybody's Everything
As recorded by Santana

Seems like everybody's waitin' for a new change to come around
(Come around, come around, come around)
Waitin' for the day when the king, queen of shows singing round
(Singing round, singing round, singing round)
Singing round, singing round for everyone
Yeah do it

You can understand everything's to share
Let your spirit dance brothers, everywhere
Let your head be free, turn the wisdom key
Find it naturally, see you're lucky to be.
Dig this sound, and spin around and round and round

Yeah if you're holding something baby on your back, lay it down
(Lay it down, lay it down, lay it down)
Don't you know honey maybe, you're like my childless hometown
(This whole town, this whole town, this whole town)
Sing it now, time for you to all get down
Yeah do it

Get ready, oo, get ready, oo, get ready, oo, get ready, oo
Dig this sound, spinnin' round and round and round
Yeah do it

You can understand everything's to share
Let your spirit dance brothers, everywhere
Let your head be free, turn the wisdom key
Find it naturally, see you're lucky to be
Sing it now, time for you all get down
Yeah do it

Get ready, oo, get ready, oo, get ready, oo, get ready, oo
Get ready, oo, get ready, oo, get ready, oo, get ready, oo
Sing it loud, time for you to all get down.
Yeah do it

I'm ready, Try, are You? <smile>



THE TEMPTATIONS - GET READY

I never met a girl who makes me feel the way that you do
(You're alright)
Whenever I'm asked who makes my dreams real, I say that you do
(You're outta sight)
So fee fi, fo fum
Look out baby, 'cause here I come
Chorus:
And I'm bringing you a love that's true
So get ready, so get ready
I'm gonna try to make you love me too
So get ready, so get ready, 'cause here I come
(Get ready, 'cause here I come)
I'm on my way
(Get ready, 'cause here I come)
If you wanna play hide and seek with love, let me remind you
(It's alright)
Lovin' you're gonna miss, and the time it takes to find you
(It's outta sight)
So fiddley dee, fiddley dum
Look out baby, 'cause here I come
Chorus
(Get ready)
All my friends should want you too, I understand it
(Be alright)
I hope I get to you before they do, the way I planned it
(Be outta sight)
So twiddley dee, twiddley dum
Look out baby 'cause here I come
Chorus

Incidentally, listeners. I heard from our hawkman. He has been working long and hard hours. I hope he comes back to our little studio soon.

I posted this on the spontaneous poems thread, but my vanity demands that I post it here too.
I'm in love, and I just want to shout it out loud!!!


Another day in the slipstream
One more layer, an onion dream
Filled with tears, and the more I peal
More mysteries my tears reveal

Not only sad, but joyous too
One layer fell and exposed you
And now I cry the sweetest tears
While precious moments turn to years

All the while our hearts entwined
Always you are on my mind
A thing of wich I dared not yearn
Has come to be, may it always burn

This love, this bliss, this carnal fire
This cupid's breath that takes us higher
Let me in your arms remain
My savior and my sorrow's bane

Cyracuz, Welcome back, Norway. I am so glad that you brought your poem to our little studio. It is delicious. I especially like the line:

"this love, this bliss, this carnal fire." WOW!

Now that you are out of the fridge, you stick around, honey.

I will. I even have my very own online computer now for the first time ever, so now I don't have to leave the house to come visit
