Old Song Lyric

Ob-la-di Ob-la-da - The Beatles

2008-08-10T17:24:00.000+08:00

Desmond has a barrow in the market place
Molly is the singer in a band
Desmond says to Molly "Girl, I like your face"
And Molly says this as she takes him by the hand

Ob-la-di ob-la-da, life goes on, bra-la-la, how the life goes on
Ob-la-di ob-la-da, life goes on, bra-la-la, how the life goes on

Desmond take a trolley to the jewelers stores
Buy a twenty carat golden ring
Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door
And as he gives it to her she begins to sing

In a couple of years they have built a home sweet home
With a couple of kids running in the year of Desmond and Molly Jones

Happy ever after in the market place
Desmond lets the children lend a hand
Molly stays at home and does her pretty face
And in the evening she still sings it with the band

Happy ever after in the market place
Molly lets the children land a hand
Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face
And in the evening she's a singer with the band

And if you want some fun, take ob-la-di ob-la-da

Lady Madonna - The Beatles

2008-08-10T17:23:00.001+08:00

Lady Madonna, children at your feet
Wonder how you manage to make ends meet
Who finds the money when you pay for rent
Did you think that money was heaven sent?

Friday night arrives without a suitcase
Sunday morning creeping like a nun
Monday's child has learned ti tie his shoe-lace
See how they run

Lady Madonna, baby at your breast
Wonders how you manage to feed the rest
(see how they run)

Lady Madonna, lying on the bed
Listen to the music playing in your head

Tuesday afternoon is never ending
Wednesday morning papers didn't come
Thursday night your stocking needed mending
See how they run

Lady Madonna, children at your feet
Wonder how you manage to make ends meet

We Can Work It Out - The Beatles

2008-08-10T17:21:00.000+08:00

Try to see it my way
Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on?
While you see it your way
Run the risk of knowing that our love may sson be gone
We can work it out, we can work it out

Think of what you're saying
You can get it wrong and still you think that it's all right
Think of what I'm saying, we can work it out
And get it straight, or say goonight
We can work it out, we can work it out

Life is very short and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend
I have always thought that it's a crime
So I Will ask you once again

Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While you see it your way
There's a chance that we might fail apart before too long
We can work it out, we can work it out

Penny Lane – The Beatles

2008-06-13T19:28:00.000+08:00

Penny Lane

There is barber showing photographs

Of every head he’s had the pleasure to know

And all the people that come and go

Stop and say hello

On the corner is a banker with a motor car

The little children laugh at him behind his back

And the banker never wear a “mac”

In the pouring rain, very strange

Penny Lane in my ears and in my eyes

Wet beneath the blue suburban skies

I shit and meanwhile, back in Penny Lane

The Long and Winding Road – The Beatles

2008-06-13T19:19:00.000+08:00

The long and winding road that leads to your door

Will never disappear, I’ve seen that road before

It always leads me here, lead me to your door

The wild and windy night that the rain washed away

Has left a pool of tars, crying for the day

Many times I’ve been alone and many times I’ve cried

Anyway you’ll never know the many ways I’ve tried

But still they lead me back to the long winding road

You left me standing here, a long time a go

Don’t leave me waiting here, lead me to your door

And eternally I’ll always be in love with you

And all I gotta do is thank you girl, thank you girl

I could tell the world a thing or two about our love

I know little girl only a fool would doubt our love

And all I gotta do is thank you girl, thank you girl

Thank ou girl for loving me the way that you do

Way that you do

That’s kind of love that is too good to be true

And all I gotta do is thank you girl, thank you girl

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Oh no, you say goodbye and I say hello

Hello, hello, I don’t know why you say goodbye

Hotel California – The Eagles

2008-06-11T20:48:00.001+08:00

On a dark desert high way, cool wind in my hair

Warm smell of colitas rising up to the air

Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light

My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim

I had to stop for the night

There she stood in the doorway

I heard the mission bell

And I was thinking to myself

This could be heaven and this could be hell

Then she lit up the candle, and she showed me the way

There were voices down the corridor

I thought I heard then say

Welcome to the Hotel California

Such a lovely place

Plenty of room at the Hotel California

Any time of year

You can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz

She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys that she calls friends

How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat

Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

So I called up the captain “please bring my wine”

He said “we haven’t had that spirit here since 1969”

And still those voices are calling from far away

Wake you up in the middle of the night

Just to hear them say

Welcome to the Hotel California

Such a lovely place, such a lovely

They livin’ it up at the Hotel California

What a nice surprise, bring you alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne in ice

And she said “we are all just prisoners here of our own device”

And in the master’s chambers, they gathered for the feast

They stab with their steely knife

But they just can’t kill the beast

Last thing I remember, I was running for the door

I had to find the passage back to the place I was before

“Relax,” said the night man “we are programmed to receive

You can check out any time you like

But you can never leave

To Love Somebody – Bee Gees

2008-06-11T20:47:00.001+08:00

There’s a light certain kind of light
That never shone on me
I want my life to be lived with you
Lived with you
There’s a way everybody say
To do each and every little thing
But what does it bring
If I ain’t got you, ain’t got you baby

You don’t know what it’s like
You don’t know what it’s like
To love somebody, to love somebody
The way I love you

In my brain I see your face again
I know my frame of mind
You ain’t got to be so blind
And I’m blind, so, so, so very blind

I’m a man can’t you see what I am
I live and I breathe for you
But what god does I do
When I ain’t got you, ain’t got you baby

Cotton Fields - C.C.R

2008-06-11T20:45:00.000+08:00

When I was a little bitty baby

My mama would rock me in the cradle

In them old cotton fields back home

Oh well those cotton bolls get rotten

You can pick very much cotton

In them old cotton fields back home

It was down in Louisiana

Just about a mile from Texarkana

In them old cotton fields back home

Ebony And Ivory – Paul McCartney With Stevie Wonder

2008-06-08T15:39:00.000+08:00

Ebony and Ivory

Live together in perfect harmony

Side by side on my piano keyboard

Oh lord why don’t we

We all know that people are the same

Wherever you go, there is good and bad

In everyone when we learn to live

We learn to give each other

What we need to survive, together alive

Ebony and Ivory living in perfect harmony

Ebony and Ivory livin’ in perfect harmony

Fernando – Abba

2008-06-08T15:35:00.000+08:00

Can you hear the drum Fernando?

I remember long ago another starry night like this

In the firelight Fernando, you were humming to yourself

And softly strumming your guitar, I could hear the distant drums

And sounds of bugle calls were coming from the far

They were now closer Fernando

Every hour, every minute seemed to last eternally

I was so afraid Fernando, we were young and full of life

And none of us prepared to die, and I’m ashamed to say

The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry

There was something in the air that night

The stars were bright Fernando

They were shining there for you and me for liberty Fernando

Though we never thought that we could lose, there’s no regret

If I had to do the same again I would my friend Fernando

Now we’re old and grey Fernando

And since many years I haven’t seen a rifle in your hand

Can you hear the drums Fernando?

Do you still recall the frightful night we crossed the Rio Grande

I can see it in your eyes

How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land

Dust In The Wind – Kansas

2008-06-08T15:31:00.000+08:00

I close my eyes only for a moment
And the moment’s gone
All my dreams pass before my eyes a curiosity
Dust in the wind, all they are dust in the wind
Same old song just a drop water
In an endless sea all we do
Crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind, all they are dust in the wind

Don’t hang on
Nothing lost forever but the earth and sky
It slips away
And all your money won’t another minute buy
Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind, everything is dust in the wind

Jambalaya – Hank Williams

2008-06-08T15:28:00.000+08:00

Goodbye Joe, me gotta go me oh, my oh

Me gotta go pole the piroque down the bayou

My Y-vonne the sweetest one, me oh, my oh

Son of gun we’ll have big fun on the bayou

Thibodaux, Fontaineaux, the place is buzzing

Kin folk come to see Y-vonne by the dozen

Dress In style and go hog wild, me oh my oh

Son of gun we’ll have big fun on the bayou

Jambalaya and crawfish pie and fillet gumbo

‘Cause tonight I’m gonna see my cher a mio

Pick guitar. Fill fruit jar and be gayo

Son of gun we’ll have big fun on the bayou

Close To You (They Long To Be) – Carpenters

2008-06-08T15:26:00.002+08:00

Why do birds suddenly appear?
Every time you are near
Just like me, they long to be close to you
Why do tsars fall down from the sky?
Every time you walk by
Just like me, they long to be close to you

On the day you were born
The angel got together and decided
To create a dream comes true
So they sprinkled moon dust
In your hair of gold and starlight
In your eyes of blue

That is why all the boys in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be close to you

Feeling – Morris Albert

2008-06-08T15:26:00.001+08:00

Feeling, nothing more than feelings

Trying to forget my feelings of love

Teardrops, rolling down on my face

Trying to forget my feelings of love

Feelings for my life I feel it

I wish I’ll never met you girl

You’ll never come again

Feelings, ooh, ooh, ooh feelings

Ooh, ooh, ooh feelings again in my arms

Feeling, feelings like I never lost you

And feelings like I never have you

Again in my heart (life)

Feelings, ooh, ooh, ooh feelings

Ooh, ooh, ooh feelings again in my arms

Feelings, ooh, ooh, ooh feelings

Ooh, ooh, ooh feelings again in my arms

You’ve Got A Friend – James Taylor

2008-06-08T15:25:00.001+08:00

When you’re down and troubled

And you need some love and care

And nothin’, nothin’ is goin right

Close your eyes and think of me

And soon I will be there

To brighten up even you darkest night

You just callout my name

And you know wherever I am

I’ll come runnin’ to see you again

Winter spring, summer fall

All you got to do this call

And I’ll be there, you’ve got a friend

If the sky above you grows dark

And full of clouds

And that o’ north wind begins to blow

Keep your head together

And call my name out loud

Soon you’ll hear me knockin’ at your door

Now ain’t it good to know that you’ve got the friend

When people can be cold

They’ll hurt you, yes and desert you

And take your soul if you let them

Yes, I will you’ve got friend

You’ve got a friend

Aint’s good to know you’ve got a friend

Nothing’s Gonna Change My Love For You – Glenn Medeiros

2008-06-08T15:23:00.000+08:00

If I had to live without you near me

The days would all be empty

The night would seem so long

With you I see forever oh so clearly

I might have been in love before

But it never felt this strong

Our dreams are young and we both know

They’ll take us where we want to go

Hold me now, touch me now

I don’t want to live without you

Nothing gonna changes my life for you

You oughta know by now how much I love you

One thing you can be sure of

I’ll never ask for more than your love

Nothing gonna changes my life for you

You oughta know by now how much I love you

The world may change my whole life through

But nothing’s gonna change my love for you

If the read ahead is not so easy

Our love will lead the way for us

Like a guilding stars

I’ll be there for you if you should need me

You don’t have to change a thing

I love you just the way you’re

So come with me and share the view

I’ll help you see forever too

Hold me now, touch me now

I don’t want to live without you

Love Me Tender – Elvis Presley

2008-06-08T15:22:00.000+08:00

Love me tender, love me sweet

Never let me go

You have made my life complete and I love you so

Love me tender, love me true

All my dreams fulfill

For, my darlin’ I love you

And I always will

Love me tender, love me long

Take me to your heart

For it’s there that I belong

And we’ll never part

Love me tender, love me dear

Tell me your mine

I’ll be yours through all the years

Till the end of time

When at last my dreams come true

Darling, this I know

Happiness will follow you

Everywhere you go

The End Of The World – Skeeter Davis

2008-06-08T15:21:00.000+08:00

Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don’t they know it’s the end of the world?
‘Cause you don’t love me anymore

Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don’t they know it’s the end of the world?
It ended when I lost your love

I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why every the same it was?
I can’t understand, no I can’t understand
How life goes on the way it does?

Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don’t they know it’s the end of the world?
It ended when you say goodbye

Imagine – John Lennon

2008-06-08T15:20:00.000+08:00

Imagine there’s no heaven it’s easy if you try
No hell below us, above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today
Ah…

Imagine there’s no countries it isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for and no religion too
Imagine all the people living live in peace

You…you may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope some day you’ll join us
And the world will be as one (living as one)

Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger a brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world

All You Need Is Love – The Beatles

2008-06-08T15:19:00.000+08:00

Love love love, love love love, love love love

There’s nothing there you can do that can’t be done

Nothing you can sing, that can’t be sung

Nothing you can say

But you can learn how to play game, it’s easy

Nothing you can make, that can’t be made

No one you can save, that can’t be saved

Nothing you can do but you

Learn how to be you in time, it’s easy

All you need is love, all you need is love

All you need is love; love is all you need

Love love love, love love love, love love love

There’s nothing you can know that isn’t known

Nothing you can see that isn’t shown

There’s nowhere you can be

That isn’t where you’re meant to be, it’s easy

Donna Donna – Joan Baez

2008-06-08T15:18:00.000+08:00

On a wagon bound for market
There’s a calf with mournful eye
High above him there’s a swallow
Winging swiftly trough the sky
How the winds are laughing
They laugh with all their might
Laugh and laugh the whole day through
And half the summer’s night

Donna Donna Donna Donna
Donna Donna Donna Donna
Donna Donna Donna Donna
Donna Donna Donna Don

“Stop complaining” said the farmer
“Who told you calf to be why don’t you have wings to fly with
Like the swallow so proud and free?”
How the winds are laughing
Laugh and laugh the whole day through
And half the summer

Calves are easily bound and slaughtered
Never knowing the reason why
But whoever treasures freedom
Like the swallow has learned to fly
How the winds are laughing
They laugh with all their might
Laugh and laugh the whole day trough
And half the summer’s night

Autumn Leave – Roger William & Chorus

2008-06-08T15:17:00.000+08:00

The falling leaves drift by the windows

The autumn leaves of red and gold

I see your lips the summer kisses

The sun burned hands I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long

And soon I’ll hear old winter’s song

But I miss you most of all my darling

When autumn leaves start to fall
