May he rest in peace and sing with the angels , the music world will miss him ......

Amen to that

Chorus:
WHAM! BAM!
I AM! A MAN!
JOB OR NO JOB,
YOU CAN'T TELL ME THAT I'M NOT.
DO! YOU!
ENJOY WHAT YOU DO?
IF NOT, JUST STOP!
DON'T STAY THERE AND ROT!

You got soul....
You got soul....
I said get, get, get on down,
Said get, get, get, on down.
Hey everybody take a look at me,
I've got street credibility,
I may not have a job,
But I have a good time,
With the boys that I meet "down on the line"
I said, I - DON'T - NEED - YOU
So you don't approve,
Well who asked you to?
HEY - JERK - YOU - WORK
This boy's got better things to do
Hell,
I ain't never gonna work, get down in the dirt,
I choose, to cruise.
Gonna live my life, sharp as a knife,
I've found my groove and I just can't lose.
A.1. style from head to toe,
Cool cat flash gonna let you know,
I'm a soul boy - I'm a dole boy,
Take pleasure in leisure, I believe in joy!

Chorus

Party nights, and neon lights,
We hit the floors, we hit the heights.
Dancing shoes, and pretty girls.
Boys in leather kiss girls in pearls!
Hot-damn! Everybody, let's play!
So they promised you a good job - NO WAY!

One, two, three, rap!
C'mon everybody, DON'T NEED THIS CRAP!

Chorus

IF YOU'RE A PUB MAN
OR A CLUB MAN
MAYBE A JET BLACK GUY WITH A HIP HI-FI
A WHITE COOL CAT WITH A TRILBY HAT
MAYBE LEATHER AND STUDS IS WHERE YOU'RE AT
MAKE THE MOST OF EVERY DAY
DON'T LET HARD TIMES STAND IN YOUR WAY
GIVE A WHAM GIVE A BAM BUT DON'T GIVE A DAMN
COS THE BENEFIT GANG ARE GONNA PAY!

Now reach up high and touch your soul,
The boys from Wham! will help you reach that goal.
It's gonna break your mama's heart, (so sad)
It's gonna break your daddy's heart, (too bad)
But you'll throw the dice and take my advice,
Because I know that you're smart.
Can you dig this thing? - YEAH!
Are you gonna get down? - YEAH!
Say Wham! - WHAM!
Say Bam! - BAM!

Chorus

Do you want to work? - NO
Are you gonna have fun? - YEAH
Said one, two, three, rap, c'mon everybody,
DON'T NEED THIS CRAP!
ENJOY WHAT YOU DO?
Everybody say Wham! - WHAM!
Everybody say Wham! Bam! - WHAM! BAM!
ENJOY WHAT YOU DO?

Am I to understand that Ray Charles die?

seems your reading is improving LOL
yes that is what they wrote

Me And You (against The World)
If i could be two places at one time
I'd be with you
I've lost my heart i'm losing half my mind
But i don't care
Don't tell me don't ask me don't talk at all
Don't help me i don't know if i can stand
The bitter-sweetness of it all
I don't know i don't care don't even hear
What they all say
There's no past there's no future and no fear
What can they do
I'm helpless i can't talk or even stand
My heart won't start until i get from you
The look that says you love me too
Me and you against the world
I've read the bible and those books at school
But they don't make much sense of this
The finest minds are calling me a fool
But you destroy them with your kiss
Just one kiss

i have several songs i can post,i haven't copy cut and pasted them yet LOL.I have to test a few of them out at the ultimate jam LOL :o)

Oh, la la la, hey banana,
Don't you slip on the skin,
Oh, la la la la, hey banana,
Womble up the rubbish and put it in the bin!

We have the solution ot the pollution,
I think it is easy to guess,
It is so amazing, instead of just lazing,
We certainly sweep up and clean the mess.

Oh, la la la, hey banana,
Don't you slip on the skin,
Oh, la la la la, hey banana,
Womble up the rubbish and put it in the bin!

Bungo plays the guitar now, he thinks he's a star now,
He sings to the coconut tree,
Whenever we feel glum, we play the steel drum
We certainly sing the night away.

What would you think if I sang outta tune
Would you stand up and walk out on me
Lend me your ears and I’ll sing you a song
And I’ll try not to sing outta key

Oooh I get by with a little help from my friends
Oooh I get high with a little help from my friends
Oooh I get by with a little help from my friends

My friends

What do you do when our love is away
Does it worry you to be alone
How does it feel by the end of the day
Are you sad because you’re on your own

Oooh I get by with a little help from my friends
Oooh I get high with a little help from my friends
Oooh I get by with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody? I need somebody to love
Could it be anybody? I need somebody to love, to love, to love

Would you believe in it’s love at first sight
Yes I’m certain that it happens all the time
What do you see when you turn out the lights
I can’t tell you but I know that it’s mine

Oooh I get by with a little help from my friends
Oooh I get high with a little help from my friends
Oooh I get by with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody? I need somebody to love
Could it be anybody? I need somebody to love

Oooh I get by with a little help from my friends
Oooh I get by with a little help from my friends
Oooh I get high with a little help from my friends
Oooh I get by with a little help from my friends
With a little help from my friends

My friends, my friends, my friends, my friends, my friends,
My friends, my friends, my friends

great stuff :o)

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
They call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they
Tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Sounds of laughter shades of love are ringing
Through my open mind inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a
million suns, it calls me on and on
Across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.

The Beatles (Lennon lyrics, Let It Be)

People that you send to war
Who don't know what they're fighting for
Leaving their loved ones at home
Wondering if they're on their own
Oh, if they're alone
Mothers and fathers that wait
For news of their innocents' fate
Raising a son for some years
Only to end it in tears
Oh, only to end it in tears

You being masters of war
You never knew your fathers, that's for sure
Just counting the numbers that died
I hope that you're satisfied
I hope that you're satisfied

My friend he's a salesman up in Leicestershire
His wife and baby love him, to him they're all so dear
We got talking together about some rights and wrongs
And just before I left there, I heard him sing this song:

I love my lady and baby
And I'm sure that you love yours
We want to care for each other
That's what we're here for
Yes, I love my lady and baby
And I'm sure that you love yours
So don't go pulling your switches
We don't need your wars

My friend he's a tailor up in Leicester town
He works his own shop there, and I know he's alright now
He's got his way of thinking, and know's that I've got mine
There's mostly only one thing we agree on all the time

We love our lives and our ladies
And we're sure that you love yours
We want to care for each other
That's what we're here for
We love our lives and our ladies
And we're sure that you love yours
So dno't go pulling your switches
We don't need your wars

He loves his lady and baby
And he's sure that you love yours
They want to care for each other
That's what they're here for
He loves his lady and baby
And he's sure that you love yours
So don't go pulling your switches
They don't need your wars

Lady, i'm your knight in shining armor and i love you
You have made me what i am and i am yours
My love, there's so many ways i want to say i love you
Let me hold you in my arms forever more
You have gone and made me such a fool
I'm so lost in your love
And oh, we belong together
Won't you believe in my song?
Lady, for so many years i thought i'd never find you
You have come into my life and made me whole
Forever let me wake to see you each and every morning
Let me hear you whisper softly in my ear
In my eyes i see no one else but you
There's no other love like our love
And yes, oh yes, i'll always want you near me
I've waited for you for so long
Lady, your love's the only love i need
And beside me is where i want you to be
'cause, my love, there's somethin' i want you to know
You're the love of my life, you're my lady!

I like Kenny Rogers. I like Lucille

Yes!! And The Gambler. There is one he did I heard years ago but I can't find the lyrics anywhere because it was no big hit. The King of Oak Street. (Kammy coudn't find it either but it does exist)

Never heard of it

See what I mean? LOL. It WAS on an old album which I lost.

Like a leaf caught in the wind
He drifted a while
With no purpose or direction to-oo his life
He tried to get himself together-er-er
And pacify his mind
And forget about the things he le-eft behind

The cryin' woman
Standing helpless in his door-oor
With a two month old baby-y i-in her arms
His little black book
Laying torn up on the floor
And God only knows he never meant to do-oo her wrong

A careless weekend on the other si-ide of town
Has torn the King of Oak Street's Castle dow-ow-own
And all week long he's trie-ied to ca-all her-er-er
But she won't let him explain
Now Sunday morning finds him walking i-in the rain

He sits down in a phone booth and he prays
That she'll forgive him
And she'll belie-ieve he's changed his ways
With shaking hand
He deposits hi-is last dime
And he's still praying that she won't hang u-up this ti-ime

Then the sweetest voice he's ever hear-eard says hello-o-o
Breakfast's a-almost ready ba-aby-y, come on ho-o-ome
I've thought the who-ole thing over
And I think I understand
That the King of Oak Street is just an ordinary man

I-I've thought the who-ole thing o-over-er
And I think I understand
That the King of Oak Stree-eet is just an ordinary man...

That's it. Thank you Harley. I don't know how you did it. But THANKS!

You're welcome :o)

that is absolutely beautiful Bill...THANK YOU!!! XXXXX :)

You are welcome my Lady

Take the ribbon from your hair
Shake it loose, let it fall
Lay it soft against my skin
Like the shadow on the wall
Come and lay down by my side
Till the early morning light
All i'm taking is your time
Help me make it through the night
I don't care what's right or wrong
I won't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
'cause tonight i need a friend
Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night
I don't care what's right or wrong
I won't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
'cause tonight i need a friend
Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night
I don't want to be alone
Help me make it through the night

Sweetheart if your should stray a million miles away I'll always be in love with you.

And though you find more bliss in someone else's kiss I'll always be in love with you.

I can't do any more. I've tried so hard to please, but let me thank you for such tender memories.

I wish you happiness. As for me, Sweetheart, I guess I'll always be in love with you.

repeat from ..."I can't do any more....." to end.

Umm, not offhand, sorry. I'll look tomorrow though if nobody else has them to hand.

and I'm a black rainbow
and I'm an ape of god
I got a face that's made for doing violence upon
I'm a teen distortion
survived abortion
a rebel from the waist down

I wanna thank you mom
I wanna thank you dad
for bringing this ******* world
to a bitter end
I never really hated a one true god
but the god of the people I hated

you said you wanted evolution
the ape was a great big hit
you say you want a revolution, man
and I say that you're full of ****

we're disposable teens
we're disposable teens
we're disposable teens
we're disposable

we're disposable teens
we're disposable teens
we're disposable teens
we're disposable

you said you wanted evolution
the ape was a great big hit
you say you want a revolution, man
and I say that you're full of ****

The more that you fear us
the bigger we get
the more that you fear us
the bigger we get
and don't be surprised, don't be surprised
don't be surprised when we destroy all of it

[CHORUS]

Actually I thought that last line was "Don't be surprised.. when we discover it" - can anyone clarify?

can anyone find the lyrics to Little Jimmy Dickens:"Sleepin at the Foot of the Bed"?

I found it, bwild, here but when I click on the song to get the lyrics, it gives me site unavailable! Maybe you'll have more luck?

it worked! thx harley ;)
