Jerry Lee Lewis - Fools Like Me

Everybody tells me love is blind
maybe so but I refuse to see
Everybody tells me things you do
But I don't care cause I'm a fool for you
It doesn't really matter what you are
it only matters what you are to me
Maybe I'm not wise enough to see
but where would love be without fools like me

Maybe lovin' you is not so smart
Cause maybe in the end you'll break my heart
I really shouldnt love you
but I do and I can't stop
cause I'm a fool for you
I only hope this kind of love is real
cause I can't ever change the way I feel
Maybe baby I'm not wise enough to see
but where would love be without fools like me

Francis Albert Sinatra.

I'm a fool to want you
I'm a fool to want you
To want a love that can't be true
A love that's there for others too

I'm a fool to hold you
Such a fool to hold you
To seek a kiss not mine alone
To share a kiss the devil has known

Time and time again I said I'd leave you
Time and time again I went away
But then would come the time when I would need you
And once again these words I had to say

Take me back, I love you
...i need you
I know it's wrong, it must be wrong
But right or wrong I can't get along

Without you

Good afternoon, WA2K.

And a Happy April Fools' 78th birthday to Jane Powell; 75th to Debbie Reynolds and 69th to Ali MacGraw.

The way they were:

DEBBIE REYNOLDS - "Tammy"

(Jay Livingston and Ray Evans)

[From "Tammy And The Bachelor"]

I hear the cottonwoods whisp'rin' above
Tammy! Tammy! Tammy's in love!
The ole hootie owl hootie-hoo's to the dove
Tammy! Tammy! Tammy's in love!
Does my darling feel what I feel
When he comes near?
My heart beats so joyfully
You'd think that he could hear!
Wish I knew if he knew what I'm dreaming of!
Tammy! Tammy! Tammy's in love!

and many happy returns to our pup. <smile>

There's Jane, Debbie, and Ali. Thanks, PA

Until the hawkman arrives how about this one by Sammy.

WHAT KIND OF FOOL AM I?
Sammy Davis, Jr.

What kind of fool am I
Who never fell in love
It seems that I'm the only one
that I have been thinking of

What kind of man is this?
An empty shell-
A lonely cell in which
an empty heart must dwell

What kind of lips are these
That lied with every kiss
That whispered empty words of love
that left me alone like this

Why can't I fall in love
Like any other man
And maybe then I'll know what kind of fool I am.

What kind of clown am I?
What do I know of life?
Why can't I cast away the mask of play
and live my life?

Why can't I fall in love
Till I don't give a damn
And maybe then I'll know what kind of fool I am

Andy Williams

A fool never learns
To get away, just run away before his heart begins to break
A fool never learns
Hell wait around, just hang around to see how much his heart can take
A fool never learns
To some girls love is just a game
And some girls treat all fool the same
A fool never learns
And Im gonna do a very foolish thing

Im gonna stick by you
Im agonna hang around, wait around
Hope shell love me again some day
They say a broken heart dont mark the end of time
That there are lotsa girls whod love to be just mine
But I dont believe that I could fall in love again
cause I just cant remove the pain
A fool never learns
And Im gonna do a very foolish thing

Im gonna stick by you
Im agonna hang around, wait around
Hope shell love me again some day
They say a broken heart dont mark the end of time
That there are lotsa girls whod love to be just mine
But I dont believe that I could fall in love again
cause I just cant remove the pain
A fool never learns
And Im gonna do a very foolish thing
And Im gonna do a very foolish thing

And Im gonna do a very foolish thing

and, folks, following edgar's lead, same words different group.


Fool On The Hill

(The Beatles)

Day after day, alone on the hill,
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still.
But nobody wants to know him,
They can see that he's just a fool.
And he never gives an answer .....

But the fool on the hill,
Sees the sun going down.
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning around.

Well on his way, his head in a cloud,
The man of a thousand voices, talking perfectly loud.
But nobody ever hears him,
Or the sound he appears to make.
And he never seems to notice .....

But the fool on the hill,
Sees the sun going down.
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning around.

And nobody seems to like him,
They can tell what he wants to do.
And he never shows his feelings,

But the fool on the hill,
Sees the sun going down.
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning around

Listening to that one.

Elvis Presley
A fool such as I
(originally by Hank Snow, also recorded by Bob Dylan)

Now and then there's a fool such as I
Pardon me, if I?m sentimental
When we say goodbye
Don't be angry with me should I cry
When you're gone, yet I?ll dream
A little dream as years go by
Now and then there's a fool such as I

Now and then there's a fool such as I am over you
You taught me how to love
And now you say that we are through
I'm a fool, but I?ll love you dear
Until the day I die
Now and then there's a fool such as I

Now and then there's a fool such as I am over you
You taught me how to love
And now you say that we are through
I'm a fool, but I?ll love you dear
Until the day I die
Now and then there's a fool such as I
Now and then there's a fool such as I
Now and then there's a fool such as I

and from Joni, listeners.....

Why do fools fall in love?
Why do birds sing so gay
And lovers await the break of day
Why do they fall in love
Why does the rain fall from up above
Why do fools fall in love
Why do they fall in love
Love is a losing game
Love can be a shame
I know of a fool you see
For that fool is me
Tell me why
Tell my why

Why do birds sing so gay
And lovers await the break of day
Why do they fall in love
Why does the rain fall from up above
Why do fools fall in love
Why do they fall in love
Why does my heart skip this crazy beat
For I know
It will reach defeat
Tell me why
tell me why
Why do fools fall in love?

Fools Fall in Love
Drifters (with Clyde McPhatter)

Fools fall in love in a hurry
Fools give their hearts much too soon
Just play them two bars of stardust
Just hang out one silly moon
Oh! They've got their love torches burning
When they should be playing it cool I used to laugh but now I understand
Shake the hand of a brand new fool

Fools fall in love just like schoolgirls
Blinded by rose colored dreams
They build their castles on wishes
With only rainbows for beams
Oh! They're making plans for the future
When they should be right back in school
I used to laugh but now I undrestand
Shake the hand of a brand new fool

They've got their love torches burning
When they should be playing it cool
I used to laugh but now I'm the same
Shake the hand of a brand new fool
Shake the hand of at a brand new fool

no end to fools, right?



Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Released as a UK B-side in 1988



I don't make the rules around here
A tear starts at the edge
It takes two hands to rip it
It takes a lot more than either one of us has said

But I come from indecision
A place you ain't never been
Living in the state of confusion
On a map that runs like the veins under your skin

We got Miss Communication kicking out the stool
We got mass determination making up the rules
But saving us is something that we can't do
And it's easier sometimes to throw a rope around a fool

And love is just another means
by which we hang ourselves
It takes two to execute
One to leave with innocence and one to leave with guilt

But I just see no reality
Just shades drawn on remorse
We've whipped this beast beyond the limit
Staggered out of breath along this course

It's easier to lose a rope around a fool
Easier sometimes to throw a rope around a fool
A ring of your indifference thrown anywhere you choose
Easier sometimes to throw a rope around a fool
Rope around a fool

While we are on the subject of fools why not an entire ship of them?

Ship of Fools
The Doors

The human race was dyin' out
Noone left to scream and shout
People walking on the moon
Smog will get you pretty soon

Everyone was hanging out
Hanging up and hanging down
Hanging in and holding fast
Hope our little world will last

Yeah, along came Mr. Goodtrips
Looking for a new a ship
Come on, people better climb on board
Come on, baby, now we're going home
Ship of fools, ship of fools

The human race was dyin' out
Noone left to scream and shout
People walking on the moon
Smog will get you pretty soon
Ship of fools, ship of fools
Ship of fools, ship of fools
Ship of fools, ship of fools

The Fool
Lee Ann Womack

You dont know me but I know who you are
Mind if I sit down
Do I look familiar if I dont well I should
Im sure youve seen me around
I know youve probably heard my name
Though weve not been introduced
Im the fool in love with the fool
Whos still in love with you

If youve got a minute Ill buy you a drink
Ive got something to say
It might sound crazy but last night in his sleep
I heard him call out your name
This aint the first time hes done it before
And its hard to face the truth
Im the fool in love with the fool
Whos still in love with you

I know love is a fragile thing
And Im trying hard to make it last
But it aint easy holding on to my dream
When hes holding on to the past

Just one more thing before I go
Im not here to put you down
You dont love him and thats a fact
Girl Ive seen you around
But you hold his heart in the palm of your hand
And its breaking mine in two
cause Im the fool in love with the fool
Whos still in love with you

Im the fool in love with the fool
Whos still in love with you

Brook Benton
Fools Rush In
Written by - Johnny Mercer & Rube Bloom
Peaked at #24 - 12/60

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread
And so I come to you, my love, my heart above my head
Though I see the danger there
If there's a chance for me, then I don't care

Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Fools rush in where wise men never go
But wise men never fall in love, so how are they to know?
When we met, I felt my life begin
So open up your heart and let this fool rush in

Fools rush in where wise men never, never, never go
Eh, but wise men never fall in love, so how are they to know?
Ahh, when we met, girl, I felt my life begin
So open up your heart and let this fool rush in

Just open up your heart and let this fool rush on in
Just open up your heart because I am coming in
Open up your heart and let this fool rush in

ah, The Doors were sublime. <smile> Thank you, Chicago.

And Johnny Mercer is to die for, edgar. Sang that one, Texas.

Shakespearian quote for the day.

What foods we morsels be.

Ship Of Fools
Erasure

I cant believe what is happening to me
My head is spinning
The flowers and the trees are encapsulating me
And I go spinning

He was the baby of the class you know
He really didnt know that one and one was two
Two and two were four
He was the baby of the class you know
He really didnt know that, really didnt know that
Oh what a poor soul

Oooh, do we not set sail on the ship of fools
Oooh, why is love so precious and so cruel?

I close my eyes and I try to imagine
What youre dreaming
Why cant you see what youre doing to me
My world is spinning

He was the baby of the class you know
He really didnt know that one and one was two
Two and two were four
He was the baby of the class you know
You were so young and so uncertain
Suffer little children
Oh what a poor soul

Oooh, do we not set sail on the ship of fools
Oooh, why is love so precious and so cruel?

He was the baby of the class you know
He really didnt know that one and one was two
Two and two were four
He was the baby of the class you know
You were so young and so uncertain
Suffer little children
Oh what a poor soul

Oooh, do we not set sail on the ship of fools
Oooh, why is love so precious and so cruel?

Oooh, do we not set sail on the ship of fools
Oooh, why is love so precious and so cruel?

The Fool
Sanford Clark


Gather round me buddies,
Hold your glasses high,
And drink to a fool, a crazy fool who told his baby goodbye.

Too late he found out he loves her,
So much he wants to die.
But drink to a fool, a crazy fool who told his baby goodbye.

He needs her, he needs her so.
He wonders why he let her go-oo-oo.

She's found a new love, buddy,
He's a lucky guy,
So drink to the fool, 'cause I'm that fool who told his baby goodbye.

(instrumental break)

He needs her, he needs her so.
He wonders why he let her go-oo-oo.

She's found a new love, buddy,
He's a lucky guy,
So drink to the fool, 'cause I'm that fool who told my baby goodbye.
My baby goodbye,
Who told my baby, who told my baby.......

Ship Of Fools (Save Me From Tomorrow)
World Party

We're setting sail to a place on the map
From which no-one has ever returned
Drawn by the promise of the joker and the fool
By the light of the crosses that burned
Drawn by the promise of the wormen and lace
And the gold and the cotton and pearls
It's the place where they keep all the darkness you need
You sail away from the light of the world on this trip, baby

You will pay tomorrow
You're gonna pay tomorrow
You're gonna pay tomorrow

Oh, save me, save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail with this Ship of Fools, no, no
Oh, you've got to save me, save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail with this Ship of Fools
I want to run and hide
Right now

Avarice and greed are gonna drive you over the endless sea
They will leave you drifting in the shallows
Drowning in the oceans of history
Traveling the world, you're in search of no good
But I'm sure you'll build your Sodom like you knew you would
Using all the good people for your galley slaves
As your little boat struggles through the warning waves
But you don't pay

You will pay tomorrow
You're gonna pay tomorrow
You're gonna pay tomorrow

Oh, save me, save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail with this Ship of Fools
Oh, you've got to save me, save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail with no Ship of Fools

Oh, where's it coming from
Where's it going now
It's just a, it's just a Ship of Fools

Still a Fool
Muddy Waters

Well, now, there's two, there's two trains running
Well, they ain't never, no, going my way
Well, now, one run at midnight and the other one,
running just 'fore day,
it's running just 'fore day,
it's running just 'fore day
Oh Lord. sure 'nough they is
Oh well

Mm mm, ho ho ho, somebody help me, ho, with these blues
Well, now, she's the one I'm loving, she's the one
I do hate to lose,
I do hate to lose,
I do hate to lose
Oh Lord, sure 'nough I do
Oh well

I been crazy; yes, I been a fool, I been crazy, oh, all of my life
Well I done fell in love with a,
with another man's wife,
with another man's wife,
with another man's wife
Oh Lord, sure 'nough I done
Oh well

Lord, she's so long and tall, till she weep like a willow tree
Well, now, they say she's no good, but she's all right,
she's all right with me,
she's all right, she's all right,
she's all right, she's all right
