Hi everyone the last one will no longer appear in recent posts... today.

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

Fame (fame) makes a man take things over
Fame (fame) lets him lose hard to swallow
Fame (fame) puts you there where things are hollow
Fame (fame)
Fame not your brain it's just the flame
That puts your change to keep you sane (sane)
Fame (fame)
Fame (fame) what you like is in the limo
Fame (fame) what you get is no tomorrow
Fame (fame) what you need you have to borrow
Fame (fame)
Fame nein it's mine is just his line
To bind our time it drives you to crime (crime)
Fame (fame)....

Bowie

You know I'll beg steal or borrow, I bring you love
I look at you and I see what I've been looking for
Now it's very clear to me we should be together
You make me feel I could reach for the impossible
And knowing how much you care, I'll be there forever

You know I'll beg, steal or borrow to give you sunny days
And in a hundred ways I'll bring you love
You know I'll beg steal or borrow (Yes, I will)
To make your garden grow

Mary, Mary, quite contrary

How does your garden grow?

With silver bells and cockle shells

And pretty maids all in a row

[mushroom25]

Asked a fellow for fifteen cents
See the fellow he jumped the fence
Jumped so high he touched the sky
Never got back till the fourth of July

Walkin' the dog
Just walkin' the dog
If you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog

Come on now, come on, come on

Mary, Mary, quite contrary
Tell me, how does your garden grow?
You got silver bells and you got cockleshells
Pretty maids all in a row

Walking the dog
Just a walkin' the dog
If you don't know how to do it
Show you how to walk the dog.....

Rufus Thomas

[maggiebee]

I leave the house

You don′t know where I've been

Except my trainers, well they′re green

And all my neighbours

Stalking me through their blinds

Dog walking

Everybody's talking

Dog walking

Everybody's talking

And in the park

I hear a distant, barking behind

All this talk,

Throwing sticks and spinning lies

I can′t go out

It′s like the whole town is following me home

So why don't ya just leave me and my dog alone

Feet

[Hazlinny]

Mama's hooked on Mary Kay
Brother's hooked on Mary Jane
And Daddy's hooked on Mary two doors down
Mary, Mary, quite contrary
We get bored so we get married
And just like dust, we settle in this town
On this broken merry go 'round
And 'round and 'round we go
Where it stops, nobody knows
And it ain't slowin' down
This merry go 'round

Kacey Musgraves

[Hazlinny]

Sorry, mine does not follow .....  follow Maggie's 😊

[Hazlinny]

Everybody's talkin' at me
I don't hear a word they're sayin'
Only the echoes of my mind
People stoppin', starin'
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes

I'm going where the sun keeps shinin'
Through the pourin' rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Bankin' off of the northeast winds
Sailin' on a summer breeze
And skippin' over the ocean like a stone

Harry Nilsson

[maggiebee]

Sunshine came softly through my a-window today
Could've tripped out easy a-but I've a-changed my ways
It'll take time, I know it but in a while
You're gonna be mine, I know it, we'll do it in style
'Cause I made my mind up you're going to be mine

I'll tell you right now
Any trick in the book now, baby, all that I can find
Everybody's hustlin' just to have a little scene
When I say we'll be cool I think that you know what I mean
We stood on a beach at sunset, do you remember when?
I know a beach where, baby, a-it never ends
When you've made your mind up forever to be mine

Donovan

[Hazlinny]

You know the love I gave you
Is slipping from your hands
'Cause I was born to wander
Like the shifting of the sands

They say that I did hurt you
But they don't understand
That I was born to wander
Like the shifting of the sands

They say that I will follow
To where my heart commands
For I was born to wander
Like the shifting of the sands

The West Coast Band

[Arksided]

I was born to love you
With every single beat of my heart
Yes, I was born to take care of you
Every single day of my life

I want to love you, I love every little thing about you
I want to love you, love you, love you
Born to love you, born to love you, yes I was born to love you
Born to love you, born to love you every single day of my life
I was born to take care of you every single day of my life

[maggiebee]

Born free
As free as the wind blows
As free as the grass grows
Born free to follow your heart

Live free
And beauty surrounds you
The world still astounds you
Each time you look at a star

Stay free
Where no walls divide you
You're free as a roaring tide so there's no need to hide

Born free
And life is worth living
But only worth living
'Cause you're born free

Matt Monro

[Hazlinny]

Whatever happened to the life that we once knew?
Can we really live without each other?
Where did we lose the touch
That seemed to mean so much?
It always made me feel so...

Free as a bird
It's the next best thing to be
Free as a bird
Home, home and dry
Like a homing bird, I fly
As a bird on wings

The Beatles

[maggiebee]

Bird on a wing
Such a fine and peaceful
Ooh, it ain't right, it ain't wrong
Make your mind up, child
Don't go out and sing alone
Ain't we rolling through lost and found
Make your mind up, child
Don't go out and head on into the town

Ben Howard

[Ken4155]

Like a bird on a wire

Like a drunk in an old midnight choir

I have tried in my way to be free

Like a worm on the hook

Like a knight bent down in some old fashioned book

It was the shape, the shape of our love that twisted me

Mr Cohen

[Hazlinny]

Well, I wish I could be like a bird in the sky
How sweet it would be if I found I could fly
Oh, I'd soar to the sun and look down at the sea
And then I'd sing 'cause I'd know, yeah
Then I'd sing 'cause I'd know, yeah
Then I'd sing 'cause I'd know
I'd know how it feels
I'd know how it feels to be free, yeah, yeah
Oh, I'd know how it feels
Yes, I'd know, I'd know how it feels
How it feels to be free, Lord, Lord, Lord, yeah

Nina Simone

[mushroom25]

I wish I could fly way up to the sky, but I can't
You can,I can’t!

I wish I could see what folks see in me, but I can't
You can, I can't!

Look, Orville. Yes?
Nothing that you can say, will change how I feel today
I know that we’ll never part, now hear what I'm saying, Orville? Yes?
Who is your very best friend? You are!
I'm gonna help you mend, your broken heart. Thank you

Crush, performed by Keith Harris and Orville

So make a stand for your man, honey
Try to can the can
Put your man in the can, honey
Get him while you can
Can the can
Can the can
If you can
Well, can the can

Suzi Quatro

[Hazlinny]

Stand by your man
Give him two arms to cling to
And something warm to come to
When nights are cold and lonely

Stand by your man
And show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man

Tammy Wynette

[Arksided]

So good, you're divine
Wanna take you, wanna make you
But they tell me it's a crime, oh
Everybody knows where the good people go
But where we're going baby
Ain't no such word as no

Baby, I'm your man (do do do that)
Don't you know who I am?
Baby, I'm your man (do do do that) (you know)
You bet

Wham!
