Now here's a 60's classic.

aah Hissing Sid. Who could ever forget?

Here's an abstract from the poetry of Leapy Lee

Little arrows in your clothing
Little arrows in your hair
When you're in love you'll find
Those little arrows everywhere
Little arrows that will hit you once
And hit you once again
Little arrows will hit everyone
Every now and then


This kept Hey Jude off the top of the charts!

I could start dreamin but it never ends
As long as youre gone we may as well pretend
Ive been dreamin
Straight from the heart

You say its easy but whos to say
That wed be able to keep it this way
But its easier
Straight from the heart

Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we can make another start
You know Ill never go
As long as I know
Its comin straight from the heart

Ill see you on the street some other time
And all our words would just fall out of line
I was dreamin
Straight from the heart

Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we can make another start
You know Ill never go
As long as I know
Its coming straight from the heart

Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we can make one more start
You know Ill never go
As long as I know
Its coming straight from the heart

Turned on the radio
Sounded like a disco
Musta turned the dial for a couple of miles
But I couldnt find no rock n roll

This computerized crap aint gettin me off
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock
London to l.a.
Talkin bout the new wave
For a couple of bucks you get a weird haircut
And waste your life away

Around the world or around the block
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock
Get me my d.j.
I got somethin hes gotta play
Wanna hear it I cant wait
So turn it up, turn it up...

Kick down the barricades
Listen what the kids say
From time to time people change their minds
But the music is here to stay

Ive seen it all from the bottom to the top
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock

Around the world or around the block
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock

Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock

Here's one from the 70's. just listened to it and it's got my hips a swinging. Hubby and i are supposed to be going out next Saturday with a couple of friends, they are taking us to a club in stafford that plays 60's and 70's music, I can't wait to go and dance how we used to when we first got together. hope they play some Northern soul as well.

ONE OF THE ULTIMATE 80S CLASSICS IMHO

can't fool myself, I don't want nobody else to ever love me
You are my shinin' star, my guiding light, my love fantasy
There's not a minute, hour, day or night that I don't love you
You're at the top of my list 'cause I'm always thinkin' of you

I still remember in the days when I scared to touch you
How I spent my day dreamin' plannin' how to say I love you
You must have known that I had feelings deep enough to swim in
That's when you opened up your heart and you told me to come in

Oh, my love
A thousand kisses from you is never too much
I just don't wanna stop

Oh, my love
A million days in your arms is never too much
I just don't wanna stop

Too much, never too much, never too much, never too much

Woke up today, looked at your picture just to get me started
I called you up, but you weren't there and I was broken hearted
Hung up the phone, can't be too late, the boss is so demandin'
Opened the door up and to my surprise there you were standin'

Well, who needs to go to work to hustle for another dollar
I'd rather be with you 'cause you make my heart scream and holler
Love is a gamble and I'm so glad that I'm winnin'
We've come a long way and yet this is only the beginnin'

Oh, my love
A thousand kisses from you is never too much
(Never too much, never too much, never too much)
I just don't wanna stop

Oh, my love
A million days in your arms is never too much
(Never too much, never too much, never too much)
And I just don't wanna stop

Oh, my love
A thousand kisses from you is never
(Never too much, never too much, never too much)
I just don't wanna stop

Oh, my love
A million days in your arms is never too much


OFF TO SEE MY REAL LIFE BRYAN ADAMS lol

Nite all xx

An underated song in my opinion..........of the 70's

Surfs Up

A diamond necklace played the pawn
Hand in hand some drummed along, oh
To a handsome mannered baton
A blind class aristocracy
Back through the opera glass you see
The pit and the pendulum drawn
Columnated ruins domino

Canvass the town and brush the backdrop
Are you sleeping?

Hung velvet overtaken me
Dim chandelier awaken me
To a song dissolved in the dawn
The music hall a costly bow
The music all is lost for now
To a muted trumpeter swan
Columnated ruins domino

Canvass the town and brush the backdrop
Are you sleeping, Brother John?

Dove nested towers the hour was
Strike the street quicksilver moon
Carriage across the fog
Two-Step to lamp lights cellar tune
The laughs come hard in Auld Lang Syne

The glass was raised, the fired-roast
The fullness of the wine, the dim last toasting
While at port adieu or die

A choke of grief heart hardened I
Beyond belief a broken man too tough to cry

Surf's Up
Aboard a tidal wave
Come about hard and join
The young and often spring you gave
I heard the word
Wonderful thing
A children's song

Child, child, child, child, child
A child is the father of the man
Child, child, child, child, child
A child is the father of the man
A children's song
Have you listened as they played
Their song is love
And the children know the way
That's why the child is the father to the man
Child, child, child, child, child
Child, child, child, child, child
Na na na na na na na na
Child, child, child, child, child
That's why the child is the father to the man
Child, child, child, child, child

now you've done it now Muffy. LOL you've got me looking for northern Soul classics. You should see my hubby when he dances to this one.

Nite nite Muffy, Thanks again for jogging my memories.

Gary Numan

Cars

Hi Joy

One of my abiding memories was Liveaid and the Cars "Who's going to drive you home", which was used as the background music to the most disturbing pictures of famine torn Africa. I think I'm right that the royalties were donated to Live Aid.

In particular, I remember the lines " who's gonna plug their ears
when you scream" and the images that went with them.

I know it pricked my conscience (and my wallet).

Sue x

I remember that, Sue, very poignant.

Alison Moyet

Invisible

How about this one:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72mG9Ydd72I

Here I stand, here I stand,
Look around, around around, around, around
But you won't see me
Now I'm here
Now I'm there

I'm just a ....

Just a new man, yes you made me live again.

A baby I was when you took my hand,
and the light of the night burned bright.
The people all stared, didn't understand
But you knew my name on sight.

Whatever came of you and me?
America's new bride to be
Don't worry babe I'm safe and sound
Down in the dungeon just Peaches and me ...
Don't I love her so, 'cause she made me live again.

A thin moon me in the smokescreen sky,
Where the beams of your lovelight chase.
Don't move, don't speak, don't feel no pain,
With the rain runnin' down my face.

Your matches still light up the sky,
And manay a tear lives on in my eye.
Down in the city, just Hoople and me ...
Don't I love him so ... Oooh don't I love him so.

Whatever comes of you and me,
I'd love to leave my memory with you ...

Now I'm here, now I'm here,
Think I'll stay around, around around, around, around
Down in the city just you and me ...

Don't I love you so ...

(Go, go, go little greenie ...)

Greatest band I ever saw in concert, Sheer Heart Attack probably their best album. Love it-love it-love it!

Funny you should say that Joy. I was thinking about Alison Moyet and Paul Young doing That's the Way Love Is. two of the most under rated voices.

And Jagger/Bowie Dancing in the Streets. Middle aged men with class
