Except tomorrow, i will be in a vodka induced coma!
I would tell you that I loved you
If I thought that you would stay
But I know that it’s no use
And you’ve already gone away
Misjudged your limits
Pushed you too far
Took you for granted
Thought that you needed me more
Another one I love the full lyrics to.
I also do karaoke to this one…always breaks them up a bit instead of the same old same old every time

If the future’s looking dark
We’re the ones who have to shine
If there’s no one in control
We’re the ones who draw the line
Though we live in trying times
We’re the ones who have to try
Though we know that time has wings
We’re the ones who have to fly

“I study nuclear science
I love my classes
I got a crazy teacher, he wears dark glasses
Things are going great, and they’re only getting better
I’m doing all right, getting good grades
The future’s so bright, I gotta wear shades”
Takes me back to my youth. But also makes me feel old as came out before the wife was born…

Filled with thoughts of you

Only one way to start: with the lyrics Ihat inspired my user name

I wanna be the very best,
No one ever was.
To catch them is my real test,
To train them is my cause.

PokémonLove this because it sums up British seaside holidays so well! Love Squeeze`s lyrics, so witty and poignant!
They do it down on Camber Sands
They do it at Waikiki
Lazing about the beach all day,
At night the crickets creepy
Squinting faces at the sky
A Harold Robbins paperback
Surfers drop their boards and dry
And everybody wants a hat
But behind the chalet
My holiday’s complete
And I feel like William Tell
Maid Marian on her tiptoed feet
Pulling mussels from a shell
Pulling mussels from a shell
Shrinking in the sea so cold
Topless ladies look away
A he-man in a sudden shower
Shelters from the rain
You wish you had a motor boat
To pose around the harbor bar
And when the sun goes off to bed
You hook it up behind the car
But behind the chalet
My holiday’s complete
And I feel like William Tell
Maid Marian on her tiptoed feet
Pulling mussels from a shell
Pulling mussels from a shell
Two fat ladies window shop
Something for the mantelpiece
In for bingo all the nines
A panda for sweet little niece
The coach drivers stand about
Looking at a local map
About the boy who’s gone away
Down to next door’s caravan
But behind the chalet
My holiday’s complete
And I feel like William Tell
Maid Marian on her tiptoed feet
Pulling mussels from a shell
Pulling mussels from a shell
But behind the chalet
My holiday’s complete
And I feel like William Tell
Maid Marian on her tiptoed feet
Pulling mussels from a shell
Pulling mussels from a shell

"Bless me father for I have sinned and I’m lowlife
Will I still be able to see?
I’d nothing to do with it
The Devil made me do it
Don’t put the blame on me
It’s a travesty"
The Devil Made Me Do It - Thunder
This song always makes me smile and I’d recommend watching the video too!

Behind Blue Eyes-The Who just because i think we’ve all felt like this at some point!
No one knows what it’s like
To be the bad man, to be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
No one knows what it’s like
To be hated, to be fated
To telling only lies
But my dreams, they aren’t as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance that’s never free
No one knows what it’s like
To feel these feelings like I do
And I blame you
No one bites back as hard
On their anger, none of my pain and woe
Can show through
But my dreams, they aren’t as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance that’s never free
When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool
And if I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
And if I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat
No one knows what it’s like
To be the bad man, to be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

Yup - hilarious, isn’t it. Gotta be one of the best/worst lyrics ever written. 
…and another thing! Why would Kilimanjaro (a mountain) rise like Olympus (a different and MUCH SHORTER mountain)? I would have thought that rising exactly like itself would have been quite sufficient, ta.

Bob Dylan - Mr Tambourine Man
Yes to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free
Sillouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.
Take me disappearing through the smoke rings of mind
Past the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves
The haunted frightened trees out to the windy beach
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.

But the stars we could reach…
Were just starfish on the beach.
Love the full lyrics to this song so meaningful to me for lots of reasons lots of memories of happy times…which make me cry. After all these years…40+ years
But those 2 lines…
Damn

Another blast from my distant past and one that reminds me of cider fuelled evenings in smoke filled clubs in the late 80’s. Yes I was a proper Indie kid.
Half Man Half Biscuits somewhat bonkers ‘Reflections in a Flat’. Almost makes Toto’s ‘Africa’ sound perfectly rational…
"Oh darling sugar honey
When it was nice and sunny
And when I had some money
We would go and see Echo And The Bunny
…men
Since I was eight I’ve loved you
Through garden gates I’ve shoved you
Then there’s the time I slashed you
And you had to go to hospital
Now you are gone forever
Shot by your Uncle Trevor
My story seems so tragic
Ali Bongo’s good at contortionism
Oh he’s much better than David Nixon ever was
Woh oh oh oo-ooh
Slowly I picked my life up
Now I go and pick the wife up
She works at Marks & Spencer’s
La la la Lech Walesas
When Cupid threw her last dart
You, girl, were still in my heart
I love you more than ever
Even though I married Trevor"

Big hugs to you my friend, isn’t that the beauty of music and lyrics? They stir so many emotions and memories, some good, some not so good, but they move us!
