Hi everyone the last one no longer appears in recent posts...

Many know how to play, they isn't rules as such just post a song lyric that follows on from the previous one.
Feel free to have a natter along the way, artist is optional although helpful if a little obscure all I ask is you play nice Xx

The last song lyric posted was:

You can paint a picture 🖼
More than they can give you
History is written by the hands
That hold the future
Paint it bright
Paint it loud
Paint it now

Whitey

I'll wait a year for two weeks in July
Ill fly to the sun and my love will be there

Wistful and warm as when we said goodbye
The girl with the sun in her hair

I see her now as she walks by the sea
Tanned by the sun and salt in the air
Lovely but lost as she waits silently
The girl with the sun in her hair

John Barry

[maggiebee]

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
Each one she passes goes "ah"

When she walks, she's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
That when she passes
Each one she passes goes "ooh"

But I watch her so sadly
How can I tell her I love her
Yes, I would give my heart gladly
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at me

Frank Sinatra et al

[Hazlinny]

The boys watch the girls while the girls watch the boys who watch the girls go by
Eye to eye, they solemnly convene to make the scene
Which is the name of the game, watch a guy watch a dame on any street in town
Up and down and over and across, romance is boss

Guys talk girl talk, it happens everywhere

Andy Williams

Street's like a jungle
So call the police
Following the herd
Down to Greece
On holiday
Love in the nineties
Is paranoid
On sunny beaches
Take your chances
Looking for

Girls who want boys
Who like boys to be girls
Who do boys like they're girls
Who do girls like they're boys
Always should be someone you really love

Avoiding all work
'Cause there's none available
Like battery thinkers
Count your thoughts
On one-two-three-four-five fingers
Nothing is wasted
Only reproduced
You get nasty blisters
Du bist sehr schön
But we haven't been introduced

Girls who want boys
Who like boys to be girls
Who do boys like they're girls
Who do girls like they're boys
Always should be someone you really love....

Blur

All the boys and the girls they got it going on
When the beat kicks in the feeling in your bones
When the basment packs and the needle drops
When you can't turn back and you just can't stop.

Pixie Lott

Me and Mrs. Jones
We got a thing goin' on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong
To let it go now

We meet every day at the same café
Six-thirty and no one knows she'll be there
Holding hands, making all kinds of plans
While the jukebox plays our favorite songs

Me and Mrs., Mrs. Jones
Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones
We got a thing goin' on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong
To let it go now

We gotta be extra careful
That we don't build our hopes up too high
'Cause she's got her own obligations
And so, and so do I

Me and Mrs., Mrs. Jones
Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones
We got a thing goin' on....

Gamble/Huff/Gilbert, performed by Billy Paul

[maggiebee]

Mrs. Brown, you've got a lovely daughter
Girls as sharp as her are somethin' rare
But it's sad, she doesn't love me now
She's made it clear enough, it ain't no good to pine

She wants to return those things I bought her
Tell her she can keep them just the same
Things have changed, she doesn't love me now
She's made it clear enough, it ain't no good to pine

Walkin' about, even in a crowd, well
You'll pick her out, makes a bloke, feel so proud

Herman's Hermits

[mushroom25]

I gave a letter to the postman
He put it in his sack
Bright early next morning
He brought my letter back

(she wrote upon it)

Return to sender, address unknown
No such number, no such zone
We had a quarrel, a lover's spat
I write I'm sorry, but my letter keeps coming back

So then I dropped it in the mailbox
And sent it special D
Bright and early next morning
It came right back to me

(she wrote upon it)

Return to sender, address unknown
No such person, no such zone

This time I'm gonna take it myself and put it right in her hand
And if it comes back the very next day then I'll understand...

Blackwell/Scott, performed by Elvis

[Moorea7]

I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter

And make believe it came from you

I'm gonna write words, oh, so sweet

They're gonna knock me off my feet

Kisses on the bottom

I'll be glad I've got 'em

I'm gonna smile and say "I hope you're feelin' better"

And sign "with love" the way you do

I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter ✉️

And make believe it came from you

[Hazlinny]

It's only words
And words are all I have
To take your heart away

Talk in everlasting words
And dedicate them all to me
And I will give you all my life
I'm here if you should call to me

Bee Gees
 

[mushroom25]

And outside forces didn't make it easy
So I thought I'd go before you leave me
Self-preservation was no explanation for anything

But the truth is more than we'll ever comprehend
I'm just starting to understand, my friend
All of that distance, 'cause I fell in love with the enemy

This is all that matters now
And that was all that happened anyhow
You can look back but don't stare
Maybe I can love you out of there

And when I went away what I forgot to say
Was all I had to say:
Eight letters, three words, one meaning

And when I went away what I forgot to say
Was all I had to say:
Eight letters, three words, one meaning...

Take That

[Moorea7]

I've read more than a hundred books
Seen love mentioned many thousand times
But despite all the places I've looked
It's still no clearer, it's just not enough
I'm still no nearer the meaning of love

Noted down all my observations
Spent an evening watching television
Still I couldn't say with precision
Know it's a feeling, and it comes from above
But what's the meaning, the meaning of love? 💗

Tell me (the meaning of love)

Depeche Mode

[mushroom25]

 People I know, places I go, make me feel tongue-tied
And I can see how, people look down
They're on the insid

Here's where the story ends

People I see, weary of me showing my good side
And I can see how people look down
I'm on the outside

Here's where the story ends
Oh, here's where the story ends

It's that little souvenir, of a terrible year, which makes my eyes feel sore
Oh, I never should have said, the books that you read were all I loved you for
It's that little souvenir, of a terrible year, which makes me wonder why
And it's the memories of your shed, that make me turn red
Surprise, surprise, surprise...

performed by The Sundays, and Tin Tin Out (who had the hit)

[Moorea7]

Tears for souvenirs are all you've left me
Memories of a love you never meant
I just can't believe you could forget me
After all those happy hours we spent (together)

Tears have been my only consolation
But tears can't mend a broken heart I must confess
Let's forgive and forget
Turn our tears of regret
Once more to tears of happiness 😊

Ken Dodd

[maggiebee]

Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord that I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness

To me this old world is a wonderful place
I'm just about the luckiest human in the whole human race
I've got no silver and I've got no gold
But I've got happiness in my soul

Ken Dodd

[mushroom25]

I see trees of green
Red roses too
I see them bloom
For me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

I see skies of blue
And clouds of white
The bright blessed day
The dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces
Of people going by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying
I love you

Weiss/Thiele, performed by Louis Armstrong

[Hazlinny]

When I wake up in the mornin', love
And the sunlight hurts my eyes
And somethin' without warnin', love
Bears heavy on my mind

[Chorus]
Then I look at you
And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)

Bill Withers

[maggiebee]

It's a lovely day today
So whatever you've got to do
You've got a lovely day to do it in, that's true

And I hope whatever you've got to do
Is something that can be done by two
For I'd really like to stay

It's a lovely day today
And whatever you've got to do
I'd be so happy to be doing it with you

Ella Fitzgerald

[mushroom25]

Whatever you want
Whatever you like
Whatever you say
You pay your money
You take your choice

Whatever you need
Whatever you use
Whatever you win
Whatever you lose

You're showing off
You're showing out
You look for trouble
Turn around, give me a shout

I take it all
You squeeze me dry
And now today
You couldn't even say goodbye

I could take you home
On the midnight train again
I could make an offer you can't refuse

Whatever you want
Whatever you like
Whatever you say
You pay your money
You take your choice

Whatever you need
Whatever you use
Whatever you win
Whatever you lose....

My sweet lady
Though it seems like we wait forever
Stay, sweet, baby
Believe, and we've got everything we need (ah)

Sweet lady
Sweet lady
Sweet lady
Ooh, stay sweet (stay sweet)
