| 547667 | 2007-05-06 07:09:00 | Well Beetle you have done it again: an original thread. Good on ya. My pick may seem strange but I hear it every day. My wife sings this solo on stage next month and she practices it regularly. For an old (but not old by :) Terry Porrit's standard) song the meaning of the words still speak to us. If it seems sappy, keep in mind that the stage play was in effect a vehicle for empowering women during a very male dominated era - the 1950's. Something Wonderful from The King and I This is a man who thinks with his heart, His heart is not always wise. This is a man who stumbles and falls, But this is a man who tries. This is a man you'll forgive and forgive, And help protect, as long as you live... He will not always say What you would have him say, But now and then he'll do Something Wonderful. He has a thousand dreams That won't come true, You know that he believes in them And that's enough for you. You'll always go along, Defend him where he's wrong And tell him, when he's strong He is Wonderful He'll always Needs your love And so he'll get your love. A man who needs your love Can be Wonderful. She'll always go along Defend him when he's wrong And tell him when he's strong He is wonderful. He'll always need her love And so he'll get her love A man who needs your love Can be wonderful. |

| 547669 | 2007-05-06 07:16:00 | Thousands of songs bounce around in my head.... Stoneface dog, swirling fog, gates open on the dark dark night Standing stone, skull and bone, dead witness to an unseen fight Beat the drum, beat the drum, beat forever on the endless march Stricken dumb, cut and run, someone is screaming and the sky is dark All pretty dark stuff though. For some reason it lightens my mood. I am the one, Orgasmatron, the outstretched grasping hand My image is of agony, my servants rape the land Obsequious and arrogant, clandestine and vain Two thousand years of misery, of torture in my name Hypocrisy made paramount, paranoia the law My name is called religion, sadistic, sacred whore. I twist the truth, I rule the world, my crown is called deceit I am the emperor of lies, you grovel at my feet I rob you and I slaughter you, your downfall is my gain And still you play the sycophant and revel in you pain And all my promises are lies, all my love is hate I am the politician, and I decide your fate I march before a martyred world, an army for the fight I speak of great heroic days, of victory and might I hold a banner drenched in blood, I urge you to be brave I lead you to your destiny, I lead you to your grave Your bones will build my palaces, your eyes will stud my crown For I am Mars, the god of war, and I will cut you down. |

| 547673 | 2007-05-06 09:00:00 | This is what I've arranged to be played at my funeral.... As far as my eyes can see There are Shadows approaching me And to those I left behind I wanted you to Know You've always shared my deepest thoughts You follow where I go And oh when I'm old and wise Bitter words mean little to me Autumn Winds will blow right through me And someday in the mist of time When they asked me if I knew you I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes Oh when I'm old and wise As far as my Eyes can see There are shadows surrounding me And to those I leave behind I want you all to know You've always Shared my darkest hours I'll miss you when I go And oh, when I'm old and wise Heavy words that tossed and blew me Like Autumn winds that will blow right through me And someday in the mist of time When they ask you if you knew me Remember that You were a friend of mine As the final curtain falls before my eyes Oh when I'm Old and wise |

| 547674 | 2007-05-06 09:05:00 | As I get older by the minute, the ABBA song "When all is said and done" becomes more and more meaningful to me. Here's to us one more toast and then we'll pay the bill Deep inside the two of us can feel the autumn chill Birds of passage you and me we fly instinctively When the summer's over and the dark clouds hide the sun Neither you nor I'm to blame when all is said and done In our lives we have walked some strange and lonely trecks Slightly worn but dignified and not too old for sex We're still striving for the sky no taste for humble pie Thanks for all your generous love and thanks for all the fun Neither you nor I'm to blame when all is said and done It's so strange when you're down and liying on the floor How you rise shake your head get up and ask for more Clear-headed and open-eyed whith nothing left untried Standing carmly at the cross-roads no desire to run There's no hurry anymore when all is said and done. Words and music by Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus. |

| 547675 | 2007-05-06 09:35:00 | 16 Tons - Tennessee Ernie Ford Some people say a man is made outta' mud A poor man's made outta' muscle and blood Muscle and blood and skin and bones A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong You load sixteen tons, what do ya get? Another day older and deeper in debt Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go I owe my soul to the company store I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine I loaded sixteen tons of number 9 coal And the store boss said "Well, a-bless my soul" You load sixteen tons, what do ya get? Another day older and deeper in debt Saint Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go I owe my soul to the company store I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain Fightin' and trouble are my middle name I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion Cain't no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line You load sixteen tons, what do ya get? Another day older and deeper in debt Saint Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go I owe my soul to the company store If you see me comin', better step aside A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died One fist of iron, the other of steel If the right one don't getcha, then the left one will You load sixteen tons, what do ya get? Another day older and deeper in debt Saint Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go I owe my soul to the company store. |

| 547676 | 2007-05-06 09:45:00 | "I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad That the dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had" Dunno why they stick in my mind... maybe just the cool tune in its day.That song sticks in my mind too, it is not the most cheerful song but I really like it. First heard it as part of the intro song to some TV drama so I googled some of the words to find out who it belonged to. Gary Jules - Mad World All around me are familiar faces Worn out places, worn out faces Bright and early for their daily races Going nowhere, going nowhere Their tears are filling up their glasses No expression, no expression Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow No tomorrow, no tomorrow And I find it kinda funny I find it kinda sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you I find it hard to take When people run in circles It's a very, very mad world mad world Children waiting for the day they feel good Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday Made to feel the way that every child should Sit and listen, sit and listen Went to school and I was very nervous No one knew me, no one knew me Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson Look right through me, look right through me And I find it kinda funny I find it kinda sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you I find it hard to take When people run in circles It's a very, very mad world ... mad world Enlarging your world Mad world |
