Quality lines in a song!

[Melton Fox]

My name is Bill, and I'm a head case
They practice making up on my face



Tell me about it Bill/Roger, I'm say here like a cnut with glitter, lippy and eye shadow all over me, apparently I look "beautiful" :icon_roll :icon_lol:

 

[fox58]

imo a classic



The canals and the bridges, the embankments and cuts,
They blasted and dug with their sweat and their guts
They never drank water but whiskey by pints
And the shanty towns rang with their songs and their fights.

Navigator, navigator rise up and be strong
The morning is here and theres work to be done.
Take your pick and your shovel and the bold dynamite
For to shift a few tons of this earthly delight
Yes to shift a few tons of this earthly delight.

They died in their hundreds with no sign to mark where
Save the brass in the pocket of the entrepreneur.
By landslide and rockblast they got buried so deep
That in death if not life theyll have peace while they sleep.

Navigator, navigator rise up and be strong
The morning is here and theres work to be done.
Take your pick and your shovel and the bold dynamite
For to shift a few tons of this earthly delight
Yes to shift a few tons of this earthly delight.

Their mark on this land is still seen and still laid
The way for a commerce where vast fortunes were made
The supply of an empire where the sun never set
Which is now deep in darkness, but the railways there yet.

Navigator, navigator rise up and be strong
The morning is here and theres work to be done.
Take your pick and your shovel and the bold dynamite
For to shift a few tons of this earthly delight
Yes to shift a few tons of this earthly delight.

Holloway's army is here to stay
Holloway's army are on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else
But here today

Holloway's army is here to stay
Holloway's army are on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else
But here today

Oliver's Army ... great song.

I like it better than the version I posted on the OS several months ago ... "Allen's Army". Doesn't have quite the same ring to it. I'm noticing you and I have a few things in common Spion, and it's starting to worry me. :icon_conf

Burning Bridges by the Mike Curb Congregation (otherwise known as the theme from the movie "Kelly's Heroes" starring Clint Eastwood).


Friends all tried to warn me
But I held my head up high
All the time they warned me
But I only passed them by
They all tried to tell me
But I guess I didn't care
I turned my back and
Left them standing there

All the burning bridges that have fallen after me
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories
Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door
Burning bridges lost forevermore

Joey tried to help me find a job
A while ago
When I finally got it I didn't want to go
The party Mary gave for me
When I just walked away
Now there's nothing left for me to say

All the burning bridges that have fallen after me
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories
Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door
Burning bridges lost forevermore

Years have passed and I keep thinking
What a fool I've been
I look back into the past and
Think of way back then
I know that I lost everything I thought I that could win
I guess I should have listened to my friends

All the burning bridges that have fallen after me
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories
Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door
Burning bridges lost forevermore

Burning bridges lost forevermore

well yes, there is that ...

Strange coincidence. I was watching TV late the other night and what movie should happen to come on but "Kelly's Heroes".

It was worth watching just to hear the song again.

 

[highland fox]

Yes I know, I'm falling down
This incline is far too steep
Tell when I hit the ground
You're too high for me to reach
We can weather unchartered oceans
Though the map reads, lost at sea
When we breakthrough or get broken
Will you stand here close to me
Close to me
You are the universe and god knows I'm the fool
I've journeyed round the outer worlds to return home to you
I've found a lover knows me better than myself
Sees through all my subtle lies and touches me to health
We can weather unchartered oceans
Though the map reads lost at sea
When we breakthrough or get broken
Will you stand here close to me
Close to me
Here come the choices
It's consume or be consumed
Jump if you feel crazy
And jump if you're a fool

What song is that, highland?

Anyone remember Kate Bush, Wuthering Heights ???


Out On the wiley, windy moors
We'd roll and fall in green
You had a temper, like my jealousy
Too hot, too greedy
How could you leave me
When I needed to possess you?
I hated you, I loved you too

Bad dreams in the night
They told me I was going to lose the fight
Leave behind my wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights

Heathcliff, it's me, oh Cathy come home
I'm so cold, let me in in-a-your-window
Heathcliff, it's me, oh Cathy come home
I'm so cold, let me in in-a-your-window

Oh it gets dark, it gets lonely
On the other side from you
I pine alot, I find the lot
Falls through without you
I'm coming back love, cruel Heathcliff
My one dream, my only master

Too long I roam in the night
I'm coming back to his side to put it right
I'm coming home to wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights

Heathcliff, it's me, oh Cathy come home
I'm so cold, let me in in-a-your-window
Heathcliff, it's me, oh Cathy come home
I'm so cold, let me in in-a-your-window

Ooh let me have it, let me grab your soul away
Ooh let me have it, let me grab your soul away
You know it's me, Cathy

Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy come home
I'm so cold, let me in in-a-your-window
Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy come home
I'm so cold, let me in in-a-your-window
Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy come home
I'm so cold

She's still worth a squirt

 

[foxin_oz]

She's still worth a squirt

You remember the original film clip? Talk about hot.

 

[highland fox]

She's still worth a squirt

You'd be barking up the wrong tree.

Meat eating Orchid forget no, not just yet

 

[highland fox]

I don't know why the wind blows,
I don't know why the trees grow,
I don't know why there's black snow,
At the end of my rainbow

 

[muzzysgal]

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do

Light up...

Slower slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads

Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess

 

[highland fox]

I awoke alone and lonely
In a faraway place
The sun fell cold upon my face
The cracks in the ceiling spelt hell
Turned to the wall
Pulled the sheets around my head
Tried to sleep, and dream my way
Back to you again
