OOoooh, CJane - and what about Bill Withers? Hmmm, which Bill Withers?
I'm a one-armed paper hanger looking for Forbes and Tenacious...scramble....
Panzade - lyircs from the Jerk! Excellent!
and hearin' this one's got me in a mess of trouble in the past
i'm a sucker for Roy
and someone really knew it
Quote:Waitin' For You, Mama
Sittin' all alone in the evening time
Ain't got much to say
Tryin' to find a couple of lines that rhyme
So I can tell you in a rhythmical way
That I'm just lonesome for you mama
Pinin' for you honey
Need you in a desperate way
I'm just waitin for you mama
Waitin' for you mama
Your lovin' gonna make my day
Why did you have to leave me this way
All alone and feelin' so sad
Don't you realize that your lovin' is the best thing
That this young critter's ever had
And he's just lonesome for you mama
Pinin' for you honey
Need you in a desperate way
I'm just waitin for you mama
Waitin' for you mama
Your lovin' gonna make my day
Here's another song all about you
Woh, you do know how to make 'em come out
You just leave me for a while and then you come back
and listen to me tell you what you're all about (to me)
I'm just lonesome for you mama
Pinin' for you honey
Need you in a desperate way
I'm just waitin for you mama
Waitin' for you mama
Your lovin' gonna make my day
ROY FORBES (SOCAN)
Nothing like a North Van man. Nothing.
North Van? gonna look him up when I go up there...
If I was making a mix tape for my sweeting it would have to include:
Michael Jackson's "Ben" (while we were still in the flirtation stage someone suggest that as our song since we were both rats and it stuck).
And Joe Cocker's "Darlin' Be Home Soon"
And Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing"
And Lou Reed's blurry version of "Perfect Day"
Don't know Reeds tune...who did it originally?
The Lovin Spoonful wrote great love songs:
Rain On The Roof still gives me goosebumps.
For Bill Wether's I'd have to go with "Ain't No Sunshine"
Another song for the distant love: Carole King's "So Far Away"
I miss Zalman. Sweet guy.
<sigh>
I think I might use I Want You by the Beatles
I'm trying to rember a Fleetwood Mac song I love.....
One time we were playing a saloon in Valdosta Georgia and a southern belle gave me the sexiest slow dance to "I'lll Be" by Edwin McCain.
Everytime I hear it....BOINGGG!!!
Yes littlek - Bill Wethers and the song boomerang had chosen.
What about Norah Jones and "Come away with me"
I love that song....
Quote:Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I will write you a song
Come away with me on a bus
Come away where they can't tempt us
With their lies
I want to walk with you
On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high
So won't you try to come
Come away with me and we'll kiss
On a mountaintop
Come away with me
And I'll never stop loving you
And I want to wake up with the rain
Falling on a tin roof
While I'm safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you
To come away with me in the night
Come away with me
Lou Reed probably did it originally but there is one recording that he sounds really blurry (I don't know how else to describe it)
Here's the lyrics:Just a perfect day,
Drink sangria in the park,
And then later, when it gets dark,
We go home.
Just a perfect day,
Feed animals in the zoo
Then later, a movie, too,
And then home.
Oh it’s such a perfect day,
I’m glad I spent it with you.
Oh such a perfect day,
You just keep me hanging on,
You just keep me hanging on.
Just a perfect day,
Problems all left alone,
Weekenders on our own.
It’s such fun.
Just a perfect day,
You made me forget myself.
I thought I was someone else,
Someone good.
Oh it’s such a perfect day,
I’m glad I spent it with you.
Oh such a perfect day,
You just keep me hanging on,
You just keep me hanging on.
You’re going to reap just what you sow,
You’re going to reap just what you sow,
You’re going to reap just what you sow,
You’re going to reap just what you sow...
I just recently heard Norah Jones - I don't listen to the radio much. I really liked the 2 songs I've heard her sing.
Boomer-I'm on it.
Ira Gershwin-Nobody was more romantic in my book.
How can you leave off Norah?...you oughta hear how she sings Gershwin
Or a song that was prohibited in the US for a long time
Je taime from Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsborough
Yeah CJ...dripping sex all over the speakers...
