I'll Never Fall In Love Again
Burt Bacharach / Hal David

What do you get when you fall in love?
A guy with a pin to burst your bubble
That's what you get for all your trouble.
I'll never fall in love again.
I'll never fall in love again.

What do you get when you kiss a guy?
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia.
After you do, he'll never phone you.
I'll never fall in love again.
I'll never fall in love again.

Don't tell me what is all about,
'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out,
Out of those chains, those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you

What do you get when you fall in love?
You get enough tears to fill an ocean
That's what you get for your devotion.
I'll never fall in love again.
I'll never fall in love again.

What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow.
So, for at least until tomorrow,
I'll never fall in love again!
I'll never fall in love again!

Goodbye To Love
Carpenters

I'll say goodbye to love
No one ever cared if I should live or die
Time and time again the chance for love has passed me by
And all I know of love is how to live without it
I just can't seem to find it

So I've made my mind up
I must live my life alone
And though it's not the easy way
I guess I've always know

I'd say goodbye to love
There are no tomorrows for this heart of mine
Surely time will lose these bitter memories
And I'll find that there is someone to believe in
And to live for something I could live for

All the years of useless search
Have finally reached an end
Loneliness and empty days will be my only friend
From this day love is forgotten
I'll go on as best I can

What lies in the future is a mystery to us all
No one can predict the wheel of fortune as it falls
There may come a time when I will see that I've been wrong
But for now this is my song

And it's goodbye to love
I'll say goodbye to love

dj, I love that song. I wonder what Bacharach is doing now?

I invited smokingunne to our radio station. We have no one from Northern Ireland here. I hope he decides to join us.

and what happened to Raggedy's friend from Quebec?

Oh my, dj. I really believe that the first song Karen and Ken did was, "Close to You." What a sad thing. All because some one referred to her as pudgy.

Letty, I soooo agree about the Olympics. I used to enjoy watching, but they are, like most sports, big business, a corporation with a bottom line. "Good sport" is now an oxymoron.

Artist: Ex
Song: Sports

we like to spend a lot of money
on supporting sports
besides it realizes more
than television-spots
we don't need no racers that
really are the best
their entry's our publicity
we don't care 'bout the rest
when racing fast it's easy enough
to make a wrong decision
but just be sure that when you crash
you're on television

Strange, folks. I lost a message and I have no idea how it happened. I guess I flipped the wrong switch. Anyway, I just wanted to tell Diane how funny that song was and to announce dinner time.

Well, I ate, and no, it wasn't crepes. Just fish and macaroni and cheese with German potato salad. YUM!

Unfortunately, listeners, it made me sleepy, so........................

Lyrics:
Now it's time to say good night
good night sleep tight
Now the sun turns out his light
good night sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for me
Dream sweet dreams for you

Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Good night sleep tight
Now the moon begins to shine
Good night sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for me
Dream sweet dreams for you
Mm, mm, mm

Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Good night sleep tight
Now the sun turns out his light
Good night sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for me
Dream sweet dreams for you
(Good night, good night everybody
everybody everywhere, goodnight)

From Letty with love

Good morning, everyone!




Burt Bacharach was 77 (how old are we?) on May 12 .... and he's still touring.



Twenty Four Hours From Tulsa

Dearest, darlin'
I had to write to say that I won't be home anymore
For something happened to me
As I was driving home
And I'm not the same anymore

Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from tulsa
Oh, only one day away from your arms
I saw the welcoming light
And stopped to rest for the night

And that is when I saw him
As I pulled in outside of a small hotel
He was there
And so I walked up to him
Asked where I could get something to eat
And he showed me where

Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from tulsa
Oh, only one day away from your arms
He took me to the cafe
And he asked me if I would stay
I said okay

Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from tulsa
Oh, only one day away from your arms
The jukebox started to play
And nighttime turned into day
As we were dancing closely
All of a sudden I lost control as he held me tight
And then he kissed me, caressed me
Told me he would die before he would let me out of his arms

Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from tulsa
Oh, only one day away from your arms
I hate to do this to you
But I've found somebody new
What can I do?
And I could never, never, never go home again

Amazing, how many American popular songs are about a place of name of a town, like Tulsa there.

Abilene, Abilene
Prettiest town I ever seen
I've only seen it in a magazine
Abilene, my Abilene

Morning, all

BALLAD OF THUNDER ROAD
Robert Mitchum


Let me tell the story, I can tell it all
About the mountain boy who ran illegal alcohol
His daddy made the whiskey, son, he drove the load
When his engine roared, they called the highway Thunder Road.

Sometimes into Ashville, sometimes Memphis town
The revenoors chased him but they couldn't run him down
Each time they thought they had him, his engine would explode
He'd go by like they were standin' still on Thunder Road.

(CHORUS)
And there was thunder, thunder over Thunder Road
Thunder was his engine, and white lightning was his load
There was moonshine, moonshine to quench the Devil's thirst
The law they swore they'd get him, but the Devil got him first.

On the first of April, nineteen fifty-four
A Federal man sent word he'd better make his run no more
He said two hundred agents were coverin' the state
Whichever road he tried to take, they'd get him sure as fate.

Son, his Daddy told him, make this run your last
The tank is filled with hundred-proof, you're all tuned up and gassed
Now, don't take any chances, if you can't get through
I'd rather have you back again than all that mountain dew.

(CHORUS)

Roarin' out of Harlan, revvin' up his mill
He shot the gap at Cumberland, and screamed by Maynordsville
With T-men on his taillights, roadblocks up ahead
The mountain boy took roads that even Angels feared to tred.

Blazing right through Knoxville, out on Kingston Pike,
Then right outside of Bearden, they made the fatal strike.
He left the road at 90; that's all there is to say.
The devil got the moonshine and the mountain boy that day.

Good morning, WA2K radio audience.

Walter, that's one song, (among many) that I have not heard. Burt changed his style a bit. Didn't he do "Alfie"? Thanks, buddy.

McTag, you are an imp today. Funny, I've never seen Abilene even in a magazine. <smile> Don't you Brits have any songs with Manchester in it?

edgar, Hmmmm. Thunder Road. Don't think that I've been that route.

Here's a perplexing situation. I can't think of one song which has the name of one city in Florida in the lyrics.

History - July 6


Today is Wednesday, July 6, the 187th day of 2005. There are 178 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History:

On July 6, 1945, President Truman signed an executive order establishing the Medal of Freedom.

On this date:

In 1535, Sir Thomas More was executed in England for treason.

In 1777, during the American Revolution, British forces capturing Fort Ticonderoga.

In 1854, the first official meeting of the Republican Party took place in Jackson, Mich.

In 1917, during World War I, Arab forces led by T.E. Lawrence captured the port of Aqaba from the Turks.

In 1923, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was formed.

In 1944, 169 people died in a fire that broke out in the main tent of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum-and-Bailey Circus in Hartford, Conn.

In 1945, Nicaragua became the first nation to formally accept the United Nations Charter.

In 1957, Althea Gibson became the first black tennis player to win a Wimbledon singles title, defeating fellow American Darlene Hard 6-3, 6-2.

In 1967, the Biafran War erupted in Nigeria. (The war, which lasted 2 1/2 years, claimed some 600,000 lives.)

In 1989, the U.S. Army destroyed its last Pershing 1-A missiles at an ammunition plant in Karnack, Texas, under terms of the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty.

Ten years ago: The prosecution rested at the O.J. Simpson murder trial in Los Angeles.

Five years ago: The German parliament offered a formal apology to Nazi-era slave and forced laborers as it passed a bill setting up a $5 billion compensation fund. The body of 19-year-old Cory Erving, son of basketball star Julius ``Dr. J'' Erving, was found in his car at the bottom of a Florida pond; he'd been missing since May 28. Venus Williams beat her younger sister Serena 6-2, 7-6 (3) to reach the Wimbledon final; their singles match was the first between sisters in a Grand Slam semifinal.

One year ago: Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry chose former rival John Edwards to be his running mate. A U.S. fighter pilot who'd mistakenly bombed Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan in 2002, killing four, was found guilty in New Orleans of dereliction of duty; Major Harry Schmidt was reprimanded and docked a month's pay.

Letty no, I can't think of any songs with Manchester in the title.
Maybe there are one or two recent ones, since our latest musical renaissance (doubt it though)

However as St Paul is to Minneapolis, so Salford is to Manchester. This is a song written in the 1960s about Salford.

Dirty Old Town
Ewan MacColl
I met my love by the gasworks wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town, dirty old town

Clouds are drifting across the moon
Cats are prowling on their beat
Springs a girl from the streets at night
Dirty old town, dirty old town

I heard a siren from the docks
Saw a train set the night on fire
I smelled the spring on the smokey wind
Dirty old town, dirty old town

I'm going to make me a big sharp axe
Shining steel tempered in the fire
I'll chop you down like an old dead tree
Dirty old town, dirty old town

"Twenty Four Hours From Tulsa" - Gene Pitney made it a No 1 hit in 1963 in the UK, Italy, France, Germany, Latin America, Mexico, Japan, the Far East, Australia, New Zealand, Canada .... :wink: :wink:

McTag, that is one fascinating song, right listeners? When one may find the time to kiss a girl in a dirty old town, all is not lost. <smile>

There are lots of songs about Virginia, folks, but I think I need some fortification before I can think of them.

Walter, I missed Gene Pitney somehow. The equipment in the control room is malfunctioning. Certainly do miss our maintenance crew.

Perhaps one of our techies can explain:

When I came on the air this morning, I got a message from my old friend macroflash. The monitor suddenly went white, and I had to shut down. I was reading your announcement, Walter, and it happened again.

Rob's warming to global issues

Paul Taylor


Thomas plays Academy 1 on Monday
IT'S fair to say that Rob Thomas was not exactly cheering when George Bush was voted back into the White House. "As an American, in my 33 years, I have never seen such a divided country," says the singer-songwriter, best known as the voice of Matchbox Twenty.


"I can't comprehend how any free-thinking person could support him and this murderous agenda he has got the whole country to be unwilling participants in."

His fervent opposition to Bush and the war in Iraq further stokes up Thomas's enthusiasm for Live 8 and its aim of pressing the leaders of the rich nations to help the world's poor.


"It's important for people, globally, to see that this is something that is important to a lot of Americans, that a lot of Americans are thinking globally. We feel that, instead of the wasted lives and wasted money we are spending in the wrong places all over the world, this should have been our agenda years ago.

"It's not hard to give financial independence back to some of these countries.

Bono once said that they can't get the medicines they need to reach certain villages, but somehow there is a Coke can in the farthest reaches of the world. If capitalism can get there, so can benevolence."

Thomas was asked to perform on the Philadelphia Live 8 bill even before the event was made public.

Difference

"It could make a difference. To be part of that could be a career highlight," he muses.

That career has gone from strength to strength. Matchbox Twenty, whose debut album was released in 1996, are one of those mainstream rock bands which, while not exactly household names in Europe, are huge in the USA, with 25m albums sold.

In 1999, Thomas was invited to be one of many special guests on Supernatural, the album which marked a spectacular comeback for guitarist Carlos Santana. Thomas's song, Smooth, was the album's biggest hit and garnered three Grammy awards.

Thomas's reputation as a songwriter has allowed him to work with such diverse heroes as Willie Nelson and Mick Jagger. Now, he is touring in his own right, having rested Matchbox Twenty to record his debut solo album, ...Something To Be, which has already topped the US chart.

But Thomas's life could have taken a very different course. Born on an army base in Germany, his parents divorced and Rob spent his childhood moving between South Carolina and Florida. He began playing in bands at the age of 14, but then went off the rails.

"I was such a f***ing rock star when I was 16 or 17," he says, sarcastically. "I was stealing cars, living on the street, hitchiking around and trying drugs."

Thomas was once arrested for armed burglary but, because he was just 17, received a suspended sentence and community service.

"I have to preface this by saying that I'm not proud of any of this," he says. "I went through a phase with friends when we would do silly things, like break into people's houses and rearrange the furniture. Anyway, when I was there, one of the guys I was with had stolen a gun, and, so, when we were arrested, it was for armed burglary."

Matchbox Twenty

Thomas carried on living the rock n' roll lifestyle, even as Matchbox Twenty made their way.

"The first couple of years of my career in the band I don't remember," he says. But he adds: "If you don't get over that and see the futility of it, then you become an ***hole at some point. It's great in your early twenties, but once you are 30, you don't want to be some jerk who spends all your time womanising and drinking, especially if it precedes the music."

Thomas is now a man of more modest indulgences, happily married to model Marisol Maldonado and living in New York. It was thoughts of Marisol which dominated Thomas's thoughts as he wrote songs for the album, many of them very close to home.

"All the personal stuff on this record was born from the fact that during the making of it, we discovered my wife had taken ill with an immune system disease. It is just something that she has, but knowing about it is half the battle. Making the record while that was going on, and sorting out my priorities, showed up a lot on the record."

"Lonely No More"

Now it seems to me
That you know just what to say
Words are only words
Can you show me something else
Can you swear to me that you'll always be this way
Show me how you feel
More than ever baby

[Chorus:]
I don't wanna be lonely no more
I don't wanna have to pay for this
I don't want to know the lover at my door
Is just another heartache on my list

I don't wanna be angry no more
You know I could never stand for this
So when you tell me that you love me know for sure
I don't want to be lonely anymore

Now its hard for me with my heart still on the mend
Open up to me, like you do your girlfriends
And you sing to me and it's harmony
Girl, what you do to me is everything
Make me say anything; just to get you back again
Why can we just try

[Chorus:]
I don't wanna be lonely no more
I don't wanna have to pay for this
I don't want to know the lover at my door
Is just another heartache on my list

I don't wanna be angry no more
You know I could never stand for this
So when you tell me that you love me know for sure
I don't want to be lonely anymore

What if I was good to you, what if you were good to me
What if I could hold you till I feel you move inside of me
What if it was paradise, what if we were symphonies
What if I gave all my life to find some way to stand beside you

[Chorus:]
I don't wanna be lonely no more
I don't wanna have to pay for this
I don't want to know the lover at my door
Is just another heartache on my list

I don't wanna be angry no more
You know I could never stand for this
So when you tell me that you love me know for sure
I don't want to be lonely anymore

I don't wanna be lonely anymore [x3]


Now Comes The Night

When the hour is upon us
And our beauty surely gone
No you will not be forgotten
No you will not be alone

And when the day has all but ended
And our echo starts to fade
No you will not be alone then
And you will not be afraid
No you will not be afraid

When the fog has finally lifted
From my cold and tired brow
No I will not leave you crying
And I will not let you down
No I will not let you down
I will not let you down

Now comes the night
Feel it fading away
And the soul underneath
Is it all that remains
So jus slide over here
Leave your fear in the fray
Let us hold to each other
Till the end of our days

Thanks Angelique

Our glorious musical renaissance:

To Mancunians, the popular musical heritage of the city has always been a source of great pride.

Although Manchester had an impressive music scene before 1976 (with groups like The Hollies, The Bee Gees and 10cc, and with Top of the Pops being recorded by the BBC in the city), undoubtedly the key moment in Manchester’s musical history occurred on June 4th 1976, when the Sex Pistols, at the invitation of Howard Devoto & Pete Shelley (of the Buzzcocks), arrived at the Lesser Free Trade Hall in Castlefield to play a legendary gig - legendary, because in spite of an audience of less than 42 people, several key members of Manchester’s future music scene were present: Tony Wilson Granada TV presenter and creator of Factory Records, Ian Curtis, Peter Hook, Bernard Sumner (of Joy Division & New Order), Morrissey - later to form The Smiths with Johnny Marr - producer Martin Hannett, and Mick Hucknall of Simply Red.

With the industrial revolution as its model, Factory Records played upon Manchester's traditions, invoking at once the apparently incongruous images of the industrial north and the glamorous pop art world of Andy Warhol. It was Factory's Joy Division who somehow managed to grimly define what exactly it was to be a Mancunian as the '70s drew to an end. At the same time, and out of the same post punk energy, emerged Mark.E.Smith’s ground breaking group The Fall, who would become one of the most inventive, original and prolific groups of the next three decades. The group that would ultimately become the definitive Manchester group of the '80s was The Smiths, lead by Morrissey and Johnny Marr. With songs like 'Rusholme Ruffians' and 'Suffer Little Children', Morrissey sang explicitly about Manchester, creating images that are as iconic of Manchester as the paintings of L.S.Lowry. Factory Records was a Manchester-based record label, managed by Tony Wilson, which featured several prominent musical acts, such as Joy Division, New Order, The Durutti Column, The Happy Mondays, and (briefly) James and Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. ...

Lawrence Stephen Lowry (November 1, 1887 - February 23, 1976) was an English artist born in Rusholme, Manchester. ...

As the 80’s drew to a close, a new energy arrived in Manchester, fuelled by the drug ecstasy. A new scene developed around The Haçienda night club (again part of the Factory Records ‘empire’), creating what would become known as the Madchester scene, – the main proponents being the Happy Mondays, The Inspiral Carpets, and The Stone Roses. The history of the Manchester music scene over this period was dramatised in Michael Winterbottom's 2002 film 24 Hour Party People. Fac 51 Haçienda (also known as simply The Haçienda) was one of the most well known nightclubs in Manchester during the Madchester years of the late 1980s and early 1990s. ... Madchester refers to a period during the late 1980s and early 1990s when Manchester was the focus for a lot of the new musical talent hitting the UK indie music scene. ...

After the "Madchester" period, Manchester music lost much of its provincial energy, though many successful and interesting acts were still to emerge. Other notable musical acts in Manchester have been Take That, 808 State, M People, Oasis, James, Badly Drawn Boy, Michael McGoldrick, Elbow, Mr Scruff, and Doves.

Morning/Evening all, have a great day/evening. Welcome McTag.

Got to go, later

Well, my goodness, folks. Angel appeared in the company of Rob Thomas and background for McTag. Thanks, dear.

McTag, that is a most thorough thesis for the music of your native land. So I suppose that I must follow with one probably borrowed from you Brits:


"The Battle Song of the Great Kanawha"


Ye daughters and sons of Virginia, incline
Your ears to a story of woe.
I sing of a time when your fathers and mine
Fought for us on the Ohio.

In seventeen hundred and seventy-four,
The month of October we know,
An army of Indians two thousand or more
Encamped on the Ohio.

The Shawnees, Wyandottes, and Delawares, too,
As well as the tribes of Mingo,
Invaded our lands and our citizens slew
On the south of the Ohio.

They marched through the untrodden wilds of the west
O'er mountains and rivers also,
And pitched at Point Pleasant their bodies to rest
On the banks of the Ohio.

The army of Indians in battle array
Under Cornstalk and Elnipsicow
Was met by the forces of Lewis that day
On the banks of the Ohio.

They brought on the battle at breaking of day.
Like heroes they slaughtered the foe,
'Til two hundred Indians or more, they say,
Were slain on the Ohio.

The army of Indians did mourn, and her daughter did weep
For Saul and his host on Gilbow.
We'll mourn Colonel Fields and the heroes who sleep
On the banks of the Ohio.

Hmmm. Well, that song did have its roots in Virginia.
