The Song Lyric I'd Like To Quote Today Is...

[Si Hunt]

"I always dreamed that I would find,
A loving heart, an open mind.
You see the real me,
and I hoped that you would be,
the one."

Si.

[Brian]

"Who are all these people?
They are too stupid to be your real parents
Ive met some bone idols in my time but they really take the biscuit...

...Your dad cornered me in the hallway while you were in the loo
He gave me a right talking to
He said I was a terrorist
Reason I tried but reason she died
We were fighting on the drive under the security lights
And your mum was screaming

Shes attracted to (x6)

When you finally joined the party you took my side
Then the whole street knew what was happening outside

You were screaming at your mum and I was punching your dad (x12)
In his face"

Woooo, Young Knives

[SiHart]

Michael,
you're the boy with all the leather hips,
sticky hair, sticky hips,
stubble on my sticky lips

Michael,
you're the only one I'd ever want
only one I'd ever want
only one I'd ever want
Beautiful boys on a beautiful dancefloor

Michael,
you're dancing like a beautiful dance *****
Michael,
waiting on a silver platter now ... and nothing matters now

This is what I am, I am a man
so come and dance with me Michael
So strong now, its strong now
so come and dance with me Michael
I'm all that you see, you wanna see
so come and dance with me Michael
So close now, its close now,
so come and dance with me, so come and dance with me, SO COME AND DANCE WITH ME

"I'm driving home for Christmas,
I'm top to toe in tailbacks, yeah.
Looking back at the driver next to me....
he's just the same.
Just the same."

Si.

[Paul Clement]

A shade of pain and then we die
Maybe that's the way
Maybe that's the way but it don't always live that way
Now that I understand the beauty of what they've left to hand me down
When you need a place to live and no one understands you
And all you want to do
Is to cry out loud
But you don't know how
No way no one
No one understands
The hand that strikes
When just a touch of love is all the problem needed
And when you hurt someone so much that still they die loving you
And all you want to do
Is to cry out loud
But you don't know how
Jade
Jade
A shade of pain and then we die

[SiHart]

December will be magic again.
Take a husky to the ice
While Bing Crosby sings White Christmas. He makes you feel nice.
December will be magic again.
Old Saint Nicholas up the chimney,
Just a-popping up in my memory.

Ooh, dropping down in my parachute,
The white city, she is so beautiful
Upon the black-soot icicled roofs,
Ooh, and see how I fall.
See how I fall
("Fall!") [backwards]
Like the snow.

Come to cover the lovers.
(Cover the lovers,
But don't you wake them up.)
Come to sparkle the dark up.
(Sparkle the dark up,
With just a touch of make-up.)
Come to cover the muck up.
(Cover the muck up,
Ooh, with a little luck.)

December will be magic again.
Light the canDLe-lights
To conjure Mr. Wilde
Into the Silent Night.
Ooh, it's quiet inside,
Here in Oscar's mind.

December will be magic again.
Don't miss the brightest star.
Kiss under mistletoe.
I want to hear you laugh.
Don't let the mystery go now.

[SiHart]

Welcome to my Christmas song
I'd like to thank you for the year
So I'm sending you this Christmas card
To say it's nice to have you here
I'd like to sing about all the things
Your eyes and mind can see
So hop aboard the turntable
Oh step into Christmas with me

Step into Christmas
Let's join together
We can watch the snow fall forever and ever
Eat, drink and be merry
Come along with me
Step into Christmas
The admission's free

Take care in all you do next year
And keep smiling through the days
If we can help to entertain you
Oh we will find the ways
So merry Christmas one and all
There's no place I'd rather be
Than asking you if you'd oblige
Stepping into Christmas with me

Si xx

[SiHart]

So reel me in my precious girl
Come on take me home
Cos my body's tired of ramblin'
And my heart don't wish to roam.

Si xx

[Anthony Williams]

And as they search to find the bodies in the sand
They find it's ashes that are scattered across the land
And as their spirits seem to whistle on the wind
A shot is fired somewhere another war begins

And all because of it you'd think that we would learn
But still the body count the city fires burn
Somewhere there's someone dying in a foreign land
Meanwhile the world is crying stupidity of man
Tell me why, tell me why

We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgement of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again

The change, it had to come
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the fold, that's all
And the world looks just the same
And history ain't changed
'Cause the banners, they are flown in the next war

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again

I'll move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half alive
I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky
Though I know that the hypnotized never lie

There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Are now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again

Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

What a song!

[Anthony Williams]

Cowards are unholy
Parasites that hide
Detonate the human bomb
Hands are all awash in blood

Carnage from the scriptures
Slaughter of the lamb
Break the neck of the white dove
Run down by the tracks above

Whip the back
Of your messiah
Your peace kills by death

Bow your head
The prayer calls to violence
That history rejects

[Si Hunt]

"You can tell the truth or you can lie
You can say I left you or I died
You can say what you chose, but I tell you the truth
You can say for sure I'm gone,
'cause I'm gone"

Si.

[Dave Tudor]

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"

I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world

Such a beautiful sentiment, such a beautiful song.

Happy New year, everyone.

[Wayne]

Shoals of dead fish float on the lakes,
But Uncle Sam's on Mars
And science is making the same mistakes,
But Uncle Sam's on Mars
No one down here knows how to work the brakes,
but Uncle Sam's on Mars
Uncle Sam's on Mars,
Uncle Sam's on Mars,
Uncle Sam's on Mars,
He's on Mars

Layers of smoke in the atmosphere
Have made the earth too hot to bear
The Earth might be a desert soon,
America has left the Moon
Uncle Sam's on Mars,
Uncle Sam's on Mars,
Uncle Sam's on Mars,
He's on Mars

He's digging for dreams in the red sand
He's got his bucket and spade in his left hand
He's digging for dreams
He's looking for life
What's he doing out there?
He's looking for life
Looking for life
There may be life out there

(Nixon to Armstrong - July 21st 1969):
"I'm talking to you by telephone from the Oval Room in the White House. And this certainly must be the most exciting telephone call ever made here on Earth. I just can't tell you how proud we all are. For every American this has to be the proudest day of their lives. And for people all over the world, I'm sure they too join with us in recognising what a tremendous achievement this is. For one priceless moment in the whole history of Man......"

MacDonalds Hamburger
Construction works
And he's looking for life
Looking for life to wind u
He's looking for life to stamp out
He's looking for life to grind out
He's looking for life, so mind out

I hope you brought your credit card with you,
and I hope you know how to drive on these long, lonely freeways and intersections we've got up here. We've got two cars in the garage, two cars in the garage, and
drum-majorettes in white ankle socks and baton twirling on Sundays.
We've got stripes and the stars,
And Uncle Sam's on,
Uncle Sam's on,
Uncle Sam's on Mars....

I'm an urban guerrilla
I make bombs in my cellar
I'm a derelict dweller
I'm a potential killer
I'm a street fighting dancer
I'm a revolutionary romancer
My rising sign is Cancer
I'm a two-tone panther

So let's not talk of love and flowers
And things that don't explode
We've used up all of our magic powers
Trying to do it in the road

I'm a political bandit
And you don't understand it
You took my dream and canned it
It is not the way I planned it
I'm society's destructor
I'm a petrol bomb constructor
I'm a cosmic light conductor
I'm the people's debt collector

So watch out Mr. Business Man
Your empire's about to blow
I think you'd better listen, man
In case you did not know

[Anthony Williams]

I wonder if my rope's still hanging from the tree
By the standing pool where you drank me
And filled me full of thirsty love
And the memory of water?

I wonder if a king still fishes there
His back towards the burned-out air
His laughing catches singing loud
The memory of water

Your taste is blood and ecstasy
But I must drink you all alone
You're freckled like a speckled egg
A dove, but this bird has flown
O stay with me sweet memory
O stay with me

I wonder if my rope's still hanging from the tree
By the standing pool where you drank me
As pain flows through me like champagne
Of the memory of water

[Dave Tudor]

Once I thought I saw you in a crowded hazy bar,
Dancing on the light from star to star.
Far across the moonbeam I know thats who you are,
I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire.

You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And I'm gettin blown away
To somewhere safer where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but I'm getting blown away.

I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream,
You could have been anyone to me.
Before that moment you touched my lips
That perfect feeling when time just slips
Away between us on our foggy trip.

You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And I'm gettin blown away
To somewhere safer where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but I'm getting blown away.

[Si Hunt]

"I wonder if he missed me
Wonder if he wants me
I wonder does he love me still

Will he be waiting for me
He will be, won't he
Oh how I hope he will"

Si.

[Simon R]

"And just like a burning radio
I'm on to you
Your spell I'm under
In the silver shadows I will radiate
And flow for you
What you see and what it seems
Are nothing more than dreams within a dream
Like a pure white diamond
I'll shine on and on and on and on and on"

[SiHart]

You
Yes you have always been here
Feeling deep inside
A feeling that I could not see
Or touch, or try to hide
My love is in and around you
I bless the day that I found you
So listen up baby

I'm happy just to be with you
And loving you the way I do, yeah
It's everything I need to know
Just resting in the afterglow of your love

Love is like a voice in my head
Keeps turning 'round the things that we said

I'm happy just to be with you
And loving you the way I do, yeah
It's everything I need to know
Just resting in the afterglow of your love

Si xx

[Dave Tudor]

for Si! That's my absolute favourite Small Faces track, in fact, one of my favourite songs ever!

[SiHart]

Its superb isn't it Dave? I've been listening to lots of Samm faces stuff this week and I have really enjoyed it too. Afterglow (of your love) is certainly one of the best- but if I'm pushed I have to say I love the instrumental Ogdens Nut Gone Flake and Here Comes the Nice more. Still I'd have been surprised if you didn't apprciate this lyric!

Si xx

[Wayne]

Everyone - sing this next time you're pissed - it's bloody great!




One night with you
Is what Im now praying for
The things that we two could plan
Would make my dreams come true

Just call my name
And Ill be right by your side
I want your sweet helping hand
My loves too strong to hide

Always lived, very quiet life
I aint never did no wrong
Now I know that life without you
Has been too lonely too long

One night with you
Is what Im now praying for
The things that we two could plan
Would make my dreams come true

Always lived, very quiet life
I aint never did no wrong
Now I know that life without you
Has been too lonely too long

One night with you
Is what Im now praying for
The things that we two could plan
Would make my dreams come true

[Dave Tudor]

We'll have to perform that at the next meet!

[Wayne]

We'll have to perform that at the next meet!

It may not've been filmed, but we did try it!
