Good night all. Too tired to be capricious.

Let's Have Another Cup Of CoffeeFred Waring's Pennsylvanians w/ Chick Bullock lyrics

Just around the corner
There's a rainbow in the sky
So let's have another cup of coffee
And let's have another piece o' pie
Trouble's just a bubble
And the clouds will soon roll by
So let's have another cup of coffee
And let's have another piece o' pie
Let a smile be your umbrella
For it's just an April show'r
Even John D. Rockefeller
Is looking for a silver lining
Mister Herbert Hoover
says that now's the time to buy
So let's have another cup of coffee
And let's have another piece o' pie

Black coffee in bed
Squeeze

There's a stain on my notebook
Where your coffee cup was
And there's ash in the pages
Now I've got myself lost

I was writing to tell you
That my feelings tonight
Are a stain on my notebook
That rings your goodbye

With the way that you left me
I can hardly contain
The hurt and the anger
And the joy of the pain

Now knowing I am single
They'll be fire in my eyes
And a stain on my notebook
For a new love tonight

From the lips without passion
To the lips with a kiss
There's nothing of your love
That I'll ever miss

The stain on my notebook
Remain all that's left
Of the memory of late nights
And coffee in bed

Now she's gone
And I'm back on the beat
A stain on my notebook
Says nothing to me

Now she's gone
And I'm out with a friend
With lips full of passion
And coffee in bed

Labelled With Love
Squeeze

She unscrews the top of a new whiskey bottle
And shuffles about in her candle lit hovel,
Like some kind of witch with blue fingers in mittens
She smells like the cat and the neighbours she sickens,

The black and white t.v. has long seen a picture
The cross on the wall is a permanent fixture,
The postman delivers the final reminders
She sells off her silver and poodles in China.

Drinks to remember, I me and myself
And winds up the clock
And knocks dust from the shelf
Home is a love that I miss very much
So the past has been bottled and labelled with love.

During the war time an American pilot
Made every air raid a time of excitement,
She moved to his prairie and married the Texan
She learnt from a distance how love was a lesson,

He became drinker and she became mother
She knew that one day she'd be one or the other,
He ate himself older, drunk himself dizzy
Proud of her features, she kept herself pretty.

He like a cowboy died drunk in his slumber
Out on the porch in the middle of summer,
She crossed the ocean back home to her family
But they had retired to roads that were sandy,

She moved home alone without friends or relations
Lived in a world full of age reservation,
On moth eaten armchairs she'd say that she'd sod all
The friends who had left her to drink from the bottle.

Drinks to remember, I me and myself
And winds up the clock
And knocks dust from the shelf
Home is a love that I miss very much
So the past has been bottled and labelled with love.

Up the Junction
Squeeze

I never thought it would happen
With me and the girl from Clapham
Out on a windy common
That night I ain't forgotten
When she dealt out the rations
With some or other passions
I said you are a lady
Perhaps she said I may be

We moved into a basement
With thoughts of our engagement
We stayed in by the telly
Although the room was smelly
We spent our time just kissing
The Railway Arms we're missing
But love had got us hooked up
And all our time it took up

I got a job with Stanley
He said I'd come in handy
And started me on Monday
So I had a bath on Sunday
I worked eleven hours
And bought the girl some flowers
She said she'd seen a doctor
And nothing now could stop her

I worked all through the winter
The weather brass and bitter
I put away a tenner
Each week to make her better
And when the time was ready
We had to sell the telly
Late evenings by the fire
With little kicks inside her

This morning at 4:50
I took her rather nifty
Down to an incubator
Where thirty minutes later
She gave birth to a daughter
Within a year a walker
She looked just like her mother
If there could be another

And now she's two years older
Her mother's with a soldier
She left me when my drinking
Became a proper stinging
The devil came and took me
From bar to street to bookie
No more nights by the telly
No more nights nappies smelling

Alone here in the kitchen
I feel there's something missing
I'd beg for some forgiveness
But begging's not my business
And she won't write a letter
Although I always tell her
And so it's my assumption
I'm really up the junction

One More Cup of Coffee

Your breath is sweet
Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky.
Your back is straight, your hair is smooth
On the pillow where you lie.
But I don't sense affection
No gratitude or love
Your loyalty is not to me
But to the stars above.

One more cup of coffee for the road,
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below.

Your daddy he's an outlaw
And a wanderer by trade
He'll teach you how to pick and choose
And how to throw the blade.
He oversees his kingdom
So no stranger does intrude
His voice it trembles as he calls out
For another plate of food.

One more cup of coffee for the road,
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below.

Your sister sees the future
Like your mama and yourself.
You've never learned to read or write
There's no books upon your shelf.
And your pleasure knows no limits
Your voice is like a meadowlark
But your heart is like an ocean
Mysterious and dark.

One more cup of coffee for the road,
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below.

Tempted
Squeeze

I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste
A flannel for my face
Pyjamas, a hairbrush
New shoes and a case
I said to my reflection
Let's get out of this place
Past the church and the steeple
The laundry on the hill
The billboards and the buildings
Memories of it still
Keep calling (keep calling) and calling (and calling)
But forget it all
I know I will

Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on
Now that you have gone
There's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

I'm at the car park, the airport
The baggage carousel
The people keep on crowding
I'm wishing I was well
I said it's no occasion
It's no story I could tell

At my bedside empty pocket
A foot without a sock
Your body gets much closer
I fumble for the clock
Alarmed by the seduction
I wish it would stop

Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on
Now that you have gone
There's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

I bought a novel, some perfume
A fortune all for you
But it's not my conscience
Hating to be untrue
I asked of my reflection
What is there to do?

Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on
Now that you have gone
There's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
Tempted by the truth of another
Tempted and the truth is discovered
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

Have A Cuppa Tea
the kinks

Granny's always ravin' and rantin'
And she's always puffin' and pantin',
And she's always screaming and shouting,
And she's always brewing up tea.

Grandpappy's never late for his dinner,
Cos he loves his leg of beef
And he washes it down with a brandy,
And a fresh made cup of tea.

Chorus:
Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea,
have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea,
Halleluja, halleluja, halleluja, Rosie Lea
Halleluja, halleluja, halleluja Rosie Lea.

If you feel a bit under the weather,
If you feel a little bit peeved,
Take granny's stand-by potion
For any old cough or wheeze.
It's a cure for hepatitis it's a cure for chronic insomnia,
It's a cure for tonsilitis and for water on the knee.

Chorus

Tea in the morning, tea in the evening, tea at supper
time,
You get tea when it's raining, tea when it's snowing.
Tea when the weather's fine,
You get tea as a mid-day stimulant
You get tea with your afternoon tea
For any old ailment or disease
For Christ sake have a cuppa tea.

Chorus,

Whatever the situation whatever the race or creed,
Tea knows no segregation, no class nor pedigree
It knows no motivations, no sect or organisation,
It knows no one religion,
Nor political belief.

Chorus.

One big fish
Thai men hook 646-lb. catfish, may be world's largest
Posted: Thursday June 30, 2005 10:57AM



BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) -- Thai fishermen caught a 293-kilogram (646-pound) catfish that may have been the world's largest freshwater fish, wildlife conservation groups said.

The Mekong giant catfish was netted by villagers in a remote part of northern Thailand, the World Wildlife Fund and the National Geographic Society said in a statement.

When wildlife officials caught wind of the catch they urged the villagers to release the adult male so that it could spawn, but it later died and was eaten, the groups said. They did not say when the massive fish was caught.

The fish was the heaviest recorded since Thai officials started tracking the species in 1981 and may be the largest freshwater fish ever discovered, the statement said.

"An astonishing find," researcher Zeb Hogan was quoted as saying. Hogan leads an international project funded by the groups to locate and study the world's largest freshwater fish species.

The catfish species has been declining, a phenomenon fishermen blame on dams and environmental damage along the Mekong River -- home to more species of giant fish than any other river, the statement said.

The Mekong giant catfish -- which shares the title of largest freshwater fish with a close relative, the dog-eating catfish -- was listed as critically endangered in 2003 after research showed its numbers had fallen by at least 80 percent over the past 13 years.

"My study of giant freshwater fish is showing a clear and global pattern: the largest fish species are disappearing," Hogan said. "By acting now, we can save animals like the Mekong giant catfish from extinction."

Another cup of coffee
words and music: by Earl Shuman and Leon Carr



Another cup of coffee, another cigarette
Another hour of mem'ries so hard to forget
How your crazy-lovin' arms held me so tight
Another cup of java, another lonely night

Put a dime in the jukebox, play a sad, sad song
And all the time I'll be thinkin' about the dream that's gone wrong
And where you used to say "Our love is still alive"
Another cup of coffee, another lonely night

But there'll be me, I don't blame you for walkin' out on me
'cause the way I cheated on you, I deserve this misery

Another love has found you, he's a lucky guy
Another's arms all around you, I'm so sad I could cry
Darling, if you don't come back, I know what's in sight
Another cup of coffee, another lonely night

Whoa, dear, if you don't come back, I know what's in sight
Another cup of coffee, another lonely night

Another cup of coffee, hmmm, another lonely night

Jeeesh! I'm so full of coffee now, I'm bloated for the rest of the day. buuuuuurrp!

Aw, have one more cup o' jo, CI.

Message to Letty
Morning/Evening fellow listeners.

Message for Letty to give to Walter:

Letty, Walter may know this already, but just in case. His last post came out double, and he did not catch it in time to delete. I did not notice either, and I posted my last post there. I know a way that he can fix it, I don't want that to mess up his great thread.

He just has to delete the information of the last duplicate post, and enter whatever he wants to continue the trip.

Letty do you want something special for this 4th of July weekend in your thread? I'm going to be busy this am so I can be back home earlier to start the holiday.

Later

Good Morning, WA2K listeners and contributors.

First let me thank dj and edgar for having decaf coffee instead of the rich full blend, as I was able to sleep and be bright eyed this morning.

C.I., I realize that it was John of Virginia who alerted you to the well wishers here, and a special thanks to him for doing so.

Angelique, we don't always have to follow a set format on WA2K radio, so you may feel free to play what you feel, my dear. If Walter did a double thing, that's all right, because often, in real radio, it has been done per request.

Today is the first day of July, and I am amazed at all the diversity that we share here in our studios.

Beginning song for the day:

Put A Little Love In Your Heart
(Annie Lennox duet with Al Green)


Think of your fellow man
Lend him a helping hand
Put a little love in your heart

You see it's getting late
Oh please don't hesitate
Put a little love in your heart

And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place
For you and me
You just wait and see

Another day goes by
And still the children cry
Put a little love in you heart
If you want the world to know
We won't let hatred grow
Put a little love in your heart

And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place
For you and me
You just wait and see
Wait and see

Take a good look around
And if you're lookin' down
Put a little love in your heart

I hope when you decide
Kindness will be your guide
Put a little love in your heart

And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place
For you and me
You just wait and see

Put a little love in your heart
Put a little love in your heart
Put a little love in your heart
Put a little love in your heart
Put a little love in -
Put a little love in your heart...

If only a song could make the world a better place, what a wonderful world it would be.

Trivia

Was president of the jury at the 'Internationale Filmfestspiele Berlin' in 1989.

Co-respondent in the Peter Hall-Leslie Caron divorce case was actor Warren Beatty.

Born of a French father and an American mother

For Peter Hall's 30th birthday her present was - simply - a Rolls Royce.

She wanted to create her costumes for Daddy Long Legs (1955) by herself. Fred Astaire told her: "OK, but no feather, please", remembering the troubles he had gotten because of some too complicated dresses worn by Ginger Rogers.

Her talent as a dancer had been already noticed in 1946 by the then married Gene Kelly and Betsy Blair in a Roland Petit's ballet on the theme of Orpheus, but they could not meet her at the end of the show because Caron's mother used to take her immediately away.

Daughter, Jennifer Hall

She and her daughter, Jennifer Hall, co-starred on an episode of _"Love Boat, The" (1977), in the parts of mother and daughter.

Member of jury at the Cannes Film Festival in 1980
Personal quotes

Where are they now

(1997) Owns and operates an inn located at Villeneuve sur Yonne about 100km South of Paris. The name of the inn is La Lucarne aux Chouettes which loosely translates to 'The Owl's Nest'.

Biography from Leonard Maltin's Movie Encyclopedia:

The beautiful Caron, a dancer from age 10, was dancing in the Ballets des Champs-Elysées when she was spotted by Gene Kelly, then scouting Paris for a leading lady to appear opposite him in his paean to George Gershwin, An American in Paris (1951). She got the job, making a spectacular film debut, entrancing audiences with a warm, natural performance, and winning an MGM contract in the bargain. Lithe, charming Caron-whose pouty lips and (occasionally) imperious facial expressions immediately tip her nationality-toiled in dramas as well as musicals while at Metro. Her films include The Man With a Cloak (1951), Glory Alley (1952), The Story of Three Loves (1953), Lili (also 1953, one of Caron's best, earning her a Best Actress Oscar nomination), The Glass Slipper, Daddy Long Legs (1955, opposite Fred Astaire, made on loan to Fox), Gaby (1956), and Gigi (1958, another triumph for MGM).

Caron expanded her repertoire with solid work in a serious drama, The L-Shaped Room (1963), proving she didn't need to wear dancing shoes to keep moviegoers riveted and earning another Oscar nomination. Alas, many of her subsequent films-foreign-made efforts alternating with Hollywood productions-weren't particularly memorable: Father Goose (1964, with Cary Grant), Is Paris Burning? (1966), Madron (1970), Chandler (1971), The Man Who Loved Women (the 1977 French version), Goldengirl (1979), Chanel Solitaire (1981), Dangerous Moves (1985), The Sealed Train (1987), Dirty Night (1990), Damage (1992), and Funny Bones (1995).

Leslie Caron & Mel Ferrer - Hi-lili hi-lo

A song of love is a sad song, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo
A song of love is a song of woe
Don't ask me how I know
A song of love is a sad song
For I have loved and it's so
I sit at the window and watch the rain, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo
Tomorrow I'll probably love again, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo.


A song of love is a sad song, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo

For I have loved and it's so
I sit at the window and watch the rain, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo
Tomorrow I'll probably love again, Hi-Lili----Hi-Lili----Hi-Lo.

Hello, Bob!

Remembering sweet memories of Leslie Caron?

I did not mean in the radio Letty, I meant in his thread of the France trip. But, kk.

Got to go, later all.

Fascinating background of Leslie Caron, Bob. Thanks, Boston. Her nick name was Carly Jane? Yikes! I'm trying to recall the movie "The L-shaped room" and I am not in the mood to look it up. I think that I read the book, "Is Paris Burning", but I am not quite certain. I do know that it was a Hitler question.

Hi-Lili Hi-Lili Hi-Lo is a melody that I can hear in my head and it seems to me that there was a music box involved with a turning ballerina. I do know that it was a waltz in three quarter time.

Strange the things that music elicits, no?

Good afternoon, Francis. Memories are music, sweet or otherwise.<smile>

It promises to be a lovely day here, listeners, and with all the rain that we have had, not one puddle is visible.

Paris brûle-t-il?

Un cri, un message où la rage d'un naufrage
sur la rive qui annonce par forte pluie
qu'elles se sont réunies cette nuit

Paris brûle-t-il ?
Ainsi soit-il !
Une terre promise
Un testament
En suppliant
Ne m'oublie pas

Et si je supplie toute ma force que la ville
est au bord de la ruine... je t'aime fort...
Où es-tu ? je te cherche partout et je suis perdu
et j'en crève d'envie

Le messager d'un incendie
La trahison à l'infini

Paris brûle-t-il ?
Ainsi soit-il !
Une terre promise
Un testament
En suppliant
Ne m'oublie pas
Paris brûle-t-il ?
Ainsi soit-il !

Le signe d'un aveu de la guerre des six jours
Il se passe quelque chose, une promesse

Et pourtant, c'est la rumeur
Par temps de pluie...

Paris brûle-t-il ?
Ainsi soit-il !
Une terre promise
Un testament
En suppliant
Ne m'oublie pas

Oh, mais aime-moi,
au Soleil Noir
et touche-moi
crie-le moi, un soir
que tout changera
quand les petites filles seront des reines
et brûleront ce monde
en pleine grâce
Je suis en feu d'un corps brûlant
Oh, mais aime-moi

Au Soleil Noir
Et ta saveur comme un message
Paris brûle-t-il ?

I see, Angelique. I haven't gotten any updates on Walter's thread as yet.
