WA2K Radio is now on the air

Not certain, listeners, but I think Vera Lynn might have done this one:


You'd be so nice to come home to
You'd be so nice by the fire

While that breeze on night sings a lullaby
You'd be all my heart could desire
Under stars chilled by the winter
Under an August moon shining above

You'd be so nice you'd be paradise
To come home to and love.

The melody is quite beautiful, folks.

Good night, it's 23:45 in New Delhi

Going To Bed Song

The Evening is coming the sun sinks to rest
The crows are all flying straight home to their nest
Caw says the crow as he flies overhead
Its time little people were going to bed
The flowers are closing the daisy asleep
The primrose is buried in slumber so deep
Closed for the night are the roses so red
Its time little people were going to bed
The butterfly drowsy has folded its wings
The bee are returning no more the birds sing
The labor is over the nestlings are fed
Its time little people were going to bed

Letty ------- Here is Dunster Castle. My mother's family lived in it's shadow & I spent many a childhood summer in the village. It was a legacy from William the Coqueror

Goodnight, New Delhi Try. My how time does go awry.

and, listeners, as the crow would fly so does Frost's "minor" bird:

A Minor Bird
by Robert Lee Frost

I have wished a bird would fly away,
And not sing by my house all day;

Have clapped my hands at him from the door
When it seemed as if I could bear no more.

The fault must partly have been in me.
The bird was not to blame for his key.

And of course there must be something wrong
In wanting to silence any song.

Awesome, John. We need to pin that one to our bulletin board. My oldest sister, who is the keeper of the flame, traced our family name back to William the Conqueror.

Here it goes, folks:

Ms Letty wrote, "…traced our family name back to William the Conqueror."

Brahm's Lullaby

Lullaby and good night, with roses bedight
With lilies be spread is baby's wee bed
Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blessed
Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blessed

Lullaby and good night, with mother's delight
Bright angels around my darling may stand
They will guard thee from harm, thou shalt wake in my arms
They will guard thee from harm; thou shalt wake in my arms

(Original German)
Guten Abend, gute Nacht, Mit Rosen bedacht,
Mit Naeglein besteckt, schlupf unter die Deck'
Morgen frueh, wenn Gott will, wirst du wieder geweckt
Morgen frueh, wenn Gott will, wirst du wieder geweckt

Guten Abend, gute Nacht, Von Englein bewacht
Die zeigen im Traum, dir Christkindleins Baum
Schlaf nun selig und suess, Schau im Traum's Paradies
Schlaf nun selig und suess, Schau im Traum's Paradies

Just a song of inspiration, listeners:

Song: Tahiti Lyrics

Chorus 1:

Tahiti, I have loved your sunny rain and your rainbows.
Tahiti, all your flowers sweet and cool when the rain goes;
And the hum of happy people on the island,
And the drumming of the seas upon the reef.
Tahiti, Tahiti, Tahiti.
Where the mountains reach up high to touch the heavens,
And the heavens wander low to kiss the sea.

Chorus 2:

Tahiti, I have loved your sunny rain and your rainbows.
Tahiti, all your flowers sweet and cool when the rain goes;
And the hum of happy people on the island,
And the drumming of the seas upon the reef.
Tahiti, Tahiti, Tahiti.
Where the mountains reach up high to touch the heavens,
And the heavens wander low to kiss the sea;
Tahiti, you're all this to me.

Come With Me Lyrics

Come With Me
I'll try to make the sun shine brighter for you
I will even play the fool if it makes you smile
I'll try to make you laugh if there's a tear in your eye
After all is said
After all is done
I'd do anything for you

Come with me, close your eyes
Hold my hand, it'll be alright
Don't be scared, don't be shy
Lift your head it's gonna be alright

I'll try to make the stars shine brighter for you
And I'll take you on my shoulders, hold you way up high
I'll even chase the rainbow hanging in the sky
Cos after all is said
After all is done
I'd do anything for you

Come with me, close your eyes
Hold my hand, it'll be alright
Don't be scared, don't be shy
Lift your head it's gonna be alright

Through the eyes of innocence
You will find, you will see
There'll come a time it all makes sense
And you won't know, but it will show inside, deep inside

Come with me, close your eyes
Hold my hand, it'll be alright
Don't be scared, don't be shy
Lift your head it's gonna be alright

I'll try to make the days last longer for you
From the daybreak, 'til the sunset, 'til the end of time
I'll keep you safe, away from the heartache
Cos when all is said
And when all is done
I'd do anything for you

Come with me, close your eyes
Hold my hand, it'll be alright
Don't be scared, don't be shy
Lift your head it's gonna be alright

Oh, my gawd, Try. What a dummy am I. (actually, I had a principal named Joe King. )

I really like that song by Phil Collins. I vaguely recall his song from Against All Odds.

So, Try, anything?

Song: Anything Goes Written By Cole Porter Lyrics

Times have changed,
And we've often rewound the clock,
Since the Puritans got a shock,
When they landed on Plymouth Rock,
If today, any shock they should try to stand,
Steada' landing on Plymouth Rock,
Plymouth Rock would land on them.

In olden days a glimpse of stockings,
Was looked on as something shocking,
Now heaven knows,
Anything goes.

Good authors too who once knew better words,
Now only use four-letter words,
Writting prose,
Anything Goes.

The world has gone mad today,
And goods bad today,
And blacks white today,
And days night today,
When most guys today,
That women prize today,
Are just silly jigalo's.

So though I'm not a great romance,
I know that I'm bound to answer,
When you propose,
Anything goes.

The world has gone mad today,
And goods bad today,
And blacks white today,
And days night today,
When most guys today,
That women prize today,
Are just silly jigalo's.

So though I'm not a great romance,
I know that I'm bound to answer,
When you propose,
Anything goes,
Anything goes.

don't know about anything else, but the beat certainly goes on

The beat goes on, the beat goes on
Drums keep pounding
A rhythm to the brain
La de da de de, la de da de da

Charleston was once the rage, uh huh
History has turned the page, uh huh
The mini skirts the current thing, uh huh
Teenybopper is our newborn king, uh huh

[Chorus]

The grocery store's the super mart, uh huh
Little girls still break their hearts, uh huh
And men still keep on marching off to war
Electrically they keep a baseball score

[Chorus]

Grandmas sit in chairs and reminisce
Boys keep chasing girls to get a kiss
The cars keep going faster all the time
Bums still cry, "Hey buddy,
have you got a dime?"

[Chorus]

No No Song
Ringo Starr

A lady that I know just came from Columbia
She smiled because I did not understand
Then she held out some marijuani, ha-ha
She said it was the best in all the land

And I said:
No no no no, I don't smoke it no more
I'm tired of waking up on the floor
No, thank you, please
It only makes me sneeze
And then it makes it hard to find the door

A woman that I know just came from Majorca Spain
She smiled because I did not understand
Then she held out a 10 pound bag of Cocaine
She said it was the finest in all the land

And I said:
No no no no, I don't sniff it no more
I'm tired of waking up on the floor
No, thank you, please
It only makes me sneeze
And then it makes it hard to find the door

A man I know just came from Nashville Tennessee, oh
He smiled because I did not understand
Then he held out some moonshine whiskey, oh-ho
He said it was the best in all the land

And I said:
No no no no, I don't drink it no more
I'm tired of wakin' up on the floor
No, thank you, please
It only makes me sneeze
And then it makes it hard to find the door

Well I said:
No no no no, I don't drink it no more
I'm tired of wakin' up on the floor
No, thank you, please
It only makes me sneeze
And then it makes it hard to find the door

Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna

From the forthcoming (Spidergal-predicted-blockbuster Indian movie) Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna. Featuring our Bollywood's Badshah Shahrukh Khan.


Tum ko bhi hai khabar
Mujhko bhi hai pata
Ho raha hai judaa
Dono ka raasta
Dur jaake bhi mujhse tum meri yaadon main rehna
Kabhi alvida na kehna
Kabhi alvida na kehna

Tum ko bhi hai khabar
Mujhko bhi hai pata
Ho raha hai judaa
Dono ka raasta
Dur jaake bhi mujhse tum meri yaadon main rehna
Kabhi alvida na kehna
Kabhi alvida na kehna

Jitni thi khushiyaa
Sab kho chuki hai
Bas ek gham hai ki jaata nahi
Samjha ke dekha behla ke dekha
Dil hai ki chain isko aata nahi
Aarzoo hai ki hai angarai
Aag hai kab aankhon se behna
Kabhi alvida na kehna
Kabhi alvida na kehna

Rut aa rahi hai Rut jaa rahi hai
Dard ka mausam badla nahi
Rang yeh halka itna hai gehra
Sadiyon main hoga halka nahi
Halka nahi
Kaun jaane kya hona hai
Hum ko hai ab kya kya sehna

Kabhi alvida na kehna
Kabhi alvida na kehna

Tum ko bhi hai khabar
Mujhko bhi hai pata
Ho raha hai judaa
Dono ka raasta
Dur jaake bhi mujhse tum meri yaadon main rehna
Kabhi alvida na kehna
kabhi alvida na kehna

My Tamil Nadu is a bit rusty, but where are you…


When I Need You
Leo Sayer/ Rod Stewart/ Celine Dion

When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
and all that I so want to give you
It's only a heartbeat away

CHORUS:

When I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
keeping me warm night and day

Miles and miles of empty space in between us
a telephone can't take the place of your smile
but you know I won't be travelin' forever
it's cold out, but hold out, and do I like I do

When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
and all that I so wanna give you babe
it's only a heartbeat away

It's not easy when the road is your driver
honey that's a heavy load that we bear
but you know I won't be traveling a lifetime
it's cold out but hold out and do like I do
oh, I need you

CHORUS

When I need you
I just close my eyes
and you're right here by my side
keeping me warm night and day

I just hold out my hands
I just hold out my hand
and I'm with you darlin'
yes, I'm with you darlin'
all I wanna give you
it's only a heartbeat away
oh I need you darling

Good morning, WA2K listeners and contributors. Many thanks to Miss India, edgar, our turtle and Try for all the songs that keep us on the air.

Actually, I stayed up rather late looking for a large rock in Canada. <smile>

Am I? No, but Paul is:

I Am A Rock
Paul Simon
A winter's day
In a deep and dark December;
I am alone,
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

I've built walls,
A fortress deep and mighty,
That none may penetrate.
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

Don't talk of love,
Well I've heard the word before;
It's sleeping in my memory.
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
If I never loved I never would have cried.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me;
I am shielded in my armor,
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
I touch no one and no one touches me.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

And a rock feels no pain;
And an island never cries.

Think cool today, folks!

now here's a twist for the men in the street. mr ugly is getting put in his place in the UK. guys your number is well & truly up.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=397618&in_page_id=1770

Men may be barred from baring their chests - and stomachs - in public under new local laws being considered by town halls.

They would stop men stripping off their shirts in crowded town centres and give powers to police to remove any who defy the cover-up laws.


The proposal has been inspired by the least attractive side effect of the heatwave - the tendency of a number of often middle-aged men to go about in nothing more than shorts and trainers.

Last week the Daily Mail highlighted the wave of revulsion among most of the public at the summer's least welcome fashion trend, and pictured a series of the worst examples in the hope of shaming offenders into keeping their T-shirts on.

Anti-social

Now local authorities have been circulated with a scheme for using by-laws to require shirts in town centres and to brand men who won't wear them as anti-social.

The laws would operate in a similar manner to local statutes that ban drinking on the streets or which prevent gangs of youths from congregating.

The politician behind the plan is former local government minister Nicholas Bennett, who has canvassed councils across the country for support.

"There is a problem," Mr Bennett said yesterday. "In my part of the country we are trying to revitalise the main shopping precinct.

"But one of the things that is depressing for anyone going shopping is the numbers of shaven-headed men, mainly in their 30s and 40s, who seem to think people want to see their torsos."

He added: "It is only a small minority, one in a hundred people. But these men do look aggressive and occasionally behave aggressively. You would see a big difference in the shopping centre if they were made to put a shirt on."

"It is nice weather and most of us are wearing fewer clothes. But a town centre is not the beach and taking your top off is going too far, for men as well as women.

"It is an unfortunate thing, but those men who like best to bare their stomachs are the ones who have too much stomach."

Officials in Bromley, in south east London, have responded warily to the proposal, suggesting that implementation might prove 'difficult'.

However by-laws governing local behaviour and giving police powers to act against those who infringe them can be pushed through by town halls if the win approval from the Home Office.

And, listeners, from a group of naked ladies:



[CHORUS (x2):]
You can always get it right next time, next time
You can always get it right next time


You can count on me to mess it up
You can count on me to let you down again
And in time you'll see that I'm your only friend

[CHORUS (x2)]

Comfort in community obliterated
Given opportunity I hesitated
Even my humility's humiliated

[CHORUS (x2)]

Next time, next time

When you die they make a list of every love you never kissed
Of each regret and each mistake
Every choice you'll fail to make
Oh well...
Oh well...
Oh well...

It's a shame I have to wait until the ending
Everything I've yet to break is surely bending
Every vow I ever take is just pretending
That this mess I make is worth defending

Was one of them called…

~ Cascada
Every time We Touch


I still hear your voice, when you sleep next to me
I still feel your touch in my dreams
Forgive me my weakness, but I don't know why
Without you it's hard to survive

Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling
And everytime we kiss I swear I could fly
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last
Need you by my side
Cause everytime we touch, I feel this static
And everytime we kiss, I reach for the sky
Can't you hear my heart beat slow
I can't let you go
Want you in my life

Your arms are my castle, your heart is my sky
They wipe away tears that I cry
The good and the bad times, we've been through them all
You make me rise when I fall

Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling
And everytime we kiss I swear I could fly
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last
Need you by my side
Cause everytime we touch, I feel this static
And everytime we kiss, I reach for the sky
Can't you hear my heart beat slow
I can't let you go
Want you in my life

Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling
And everytime we kiss I swear I could fly
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last
Need you by my side
Cause everytime we touch, I feel this static
And everytime we kiss, I reach for the sky
Can't you hear my heart beat slow
I can't let you go
Want you in my life

Well, Try, if you mean cascade as in waterfall, I am certain one of those bare ladies loves to stand beneath the pouring water. <smile>

Listeners, it sounds as though our Try has not lost........

That Lovin' Feeling'

Righteous Brothers
» You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling'

You never close your eyes anymore
When I kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness like before
in your fingertips.
You're tryin' hard not to show it
but
baby
baby
I know it.
You've lost that lovin' feelin'
Wooh
oh
that lovin' feelin'.
You've lost that lovin' feelin'.
Now it's gone
gone
gone.
Wooh oh oh oh.
Now there's no welcome look in your eyes
When I reach for you
And girl
you're startin' to criticize
little things I do.
It makes me just feel like cryin'
'cause
baby
something beautiful's dyin'.
You've lost that lovin' feelin' ...
