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

[SiHart]

Underground, Overground, Wombling Free,
the Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we.
Making good use of the things that we find,
things that the everyday folks leave behind.

Uncle Bulgaria, he can remember the days when he wasn't behind The Times,
With his map of the World.
Pick up the papers and take them to Tobermory!

Wombles are organized, work as a team.
Wombles are tidy and Wombles are clean.
Underground, Overground, wombling free,
the Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we!

People don't notice us, they never see, under their noses a Womble may be.
We womble by night and we womble by day, looking for litter to trundle away.

We're so incredibly, utterly devious making the most of everything.
Even bottles and tins.
Pick up the pieces and make them into something new, is what we do!

Si xx

[Trudi G]

Absolute classic!

[Paul Monk]

Not as good as Remember You're a Womble though. That rocks!

[SiHart]

I hoped it might make people smile today

I prefer it to Remember You're A Womble, just because I loved the TV series.

Si xx

[Rob McCow]

Hurrah for Wombles!

Personally, "I Wish It Could Be A Wombling Merry Christmas Every Day" is my favourite, just for being so boldly awful.

[Simon R]

"If you turn the pages and you look inside
There is nothing of me I feel that I have to hide
If you turn the tables and look at yourself
Is there something you fear that you would have to confess?
Many things will come to pass
I can live with that
I can't help but wonder when you'll get yours"

(for Lady P but not at him!)

[Dave Tudor]

How come when I got the ace of hearts
Y'always draw the ace of spades
How's it when your best friend
Brings you lillies on your birthday

How come, how come
Well I ain't superstitious, but well these things I see
How come, how come
I ain't a superstitious fella, but it worries me

How come when your local clergy calls
He tells me that you shouldn't wear black
What kind of bread are you gonna' bake
With that hemlock in your spice rack

How come, how come
Well I ain't superstitious, but well these things I see
How come, how come
I ain't a superstitious fella, but it worries me

The spider's run, the cobwebs gone
Did you eat it when the moon was new
I drowned your cat, what do you say to that
I've even broken up your broom

How come, how come
Well I ain't superstitious, but well these things I see
How come, how come
I ain't a superstitious fella, but it worries me

[Pip Madeley]

Irving Berlin - Always

Dreams will all come true
Being here with you
And time will fly
Caring each day more
Than the day before
Till spring rolls by
And when the springtime has gone
Will my love linger on

'Cause I'll be loving you
Always
With a love that's true
Always
When the things that you plan
Need a helping hand
I will understand
Always, always

Days may not be fair
Always
But that's when I'll be there
Always
Not for just an hour
No, no, not for just a day
Not for just a year
Oh but always

Days may not be fair
Always
But that's when I'll be there
Always
Not for just an hour
No, no, not for just a day
Not for just a year
Oh but always

Until forever is through
Until there's just me and you
Always... always.

Beautiful song.

Stop Me - Mark Ronson

Stop me, oh, stop me
Stop me if you think that you've
Heard this one before
Stop me, oh, stop me
Stop me if you think that you've heard this one before

Cos nothing's changed
I still love you, oh, I still love you
...Only slightly, only slightly less than I used to, my love

I was delayed, I was way-laid
An emergency stop
I saw the last ten seconds of life
I crashed down on the crossbar
And the pain was enough to make
A shy, bald, buddhist reflect
And plan a mass murder, yeah
Who said lied I'd to her?

who said I'd lied because I never? I never!
Who said I'd lied because I never?

I was detained, I was restrained
And broke my knee
And broke my spleen
(and then he really laid into me)
Friday night in Out-patients
Who said I'd lied to her?

Oh, who said I'd lied? - because I never, I never
Who said I'd lied to her?
Oh, so I drank one
It became four
And when I fell on the floor ...
...I drank more

Stop me, oh, stop me
Stop me if you think that you've
Heard this one before
Stop me, oh, i said stop me
Stop me if you think that you've heard this one before

Cos nothing's changed
I still love you, oh, I still love you
...Only slightly, only slightly less than I used to, my love

Set me free why don't you babe?
Get out my life, why don't you babe?
Cos you don't really love me
You just keep me hanging on

[Paul Monk]

Who's this Mark Ronson guy? That's The Smiths.

[SiHart]

He's covered it and added in a bit of The Supremes at the end. It's really good.

[Paul Monk]

PAH!

[SiHart]

That's what most Smiths fans have been saying!

[SiHart]

For Jonathan, not that he'll see it, but I'll know.

Treat him well, he is your brother
You might need his help some day
We depend on one another
Love him, thats the only way
On the road (on the road) that were going
We all need (we all need) words of comfort and compassion
Treat him well, he is your brother
Love him, thats the only way

The monkey sat on a pile of stone
And he stared at the broken bone in his hand
Strains of a Viennese quartet rang out across the land
The monkey looked up at the stars
And he thought to himself
Memory is a stranger
History is for fools
And he cleaned his hands in a pool of holy writing
Turned his back on the garden and set out for the nearest town
Hold on hold on soldier

When you add it all up
The tears and the marrowbone
There's an ounce of gold
And an ounce of pride in each ledger
And the Germans kill the Jews
And the Jews kill the Arabs
And the Arabs kill the hostages
And that is the news
And is it any wonder that the monkey's confused
He said Mama Mama, the President's a fool
Why do I have to keep reading these technical manuals
And the joint chiefs of staff
And the brokers on Wall Street said
Don't make us laugh, you're a smart kid
Time is linear
Memory's a stranger
History is for fools
Man is a tool in the hands
Of the great God Almighty
And they gave him command of a nuclear submarine
Sent him back in search of the Garden of Eden


Can't you see
It all makes perfect sense
Expressed in dollars and cents,
Pounds, shillings and pence
Can't you see
It all makes perfect sense

[SiHart]

Thats why
Cause if you feel it
And if you mean it
Dont apologize
And youll be just fine
Cause all they ever need is what youll give them
Is what youre given
They only put you down if you give them permission

Cause people gonna see you
How they wanna see you
People gonna rate you
People gonna hate you
People gonna shove you
People gonna love you
People gonna do whatever
Makes them feel they own you better

Cause everyone knows were strange
So why do you feel ashamed
Baby
Everyone knows were different
So why do you feel ashamed

[P-Bal]

Tu es a moi, tu es ma vie
La somme de toutes mes envies
Tu es venu pour librer mes sens
J'tais perdue tu as gagn ma confiance
Sens dessous dessus devant toi, sans dfense

Je t'adore pour ne rien te cacher
Je t'adore aux yeux du monde entier
Tu me donnes plus, j'en veux encore
Notre amour est sans effort
Je t'adore sens mon coeur qui bat vite
Je t'adore sensation indite
Et tous les jours un peu plis fort
Pour toi je suis toujours d'accord
Je t'adore...

[Dave Tudor]

"Oh, don't call me funny bunny
I'll blow your money, money
I'll get you to my bad ass spinning for you.

Gotta tease you nasty guy
So take it don't be shy
Put your cherry on my cake
And taste my cherry pie."

Nice.

[P-Bal]

You’re lifting me high, then you’re taking me low
It’s feeling like I’m getting vertigo
You colour me blue, turn my passion to red
It’s feeling like I’ve become indigo

And I’m lost…
Then I’m found…
And I run…
Then I hide…
And I turn…
You’re not there…
I say yes…
You say no…
Loving you gives me vertigo
And I give…
But you take…
I made one…
Big mistake…
Gave you all…
A to Z…
Then you came…
Now you go…
Loving you gives me vertigo...

[P-Bal]

So blind that I can't decide if you knew that I harboured
Beautiful intentions for you
So cruel that I never knew truly
If you harboured beautiful intentions for me

[P-Bal]

I can't believe I was so blind I didn't see
That you couldn't be the type of man to meet my needs
Strangest thing is everyone tried to tell me
But I did what they told me not to

You nearly had my everything by running game on me
You told me all I had to hear I thought love was finally here
But then one day the truth I'd see your game was incomplete
Cos when I realised the truth
I see your plan, you're not my man so get from under my roof

What made you think I would be fooled
I now see through you and you're the fool

"Jesus just left Chicago
...and he's bound for New Orleans."

ZZTOP "Jesus Just Left Chicago."

Just had it in my head this morning.

[SiHart]

I'm not ready to love, I'm not ready for peace
I'm givin' up the dove to the beast
I'm not ready to surrender to another glove murderer

I'm not ready to love, I'm not ready to to fly
I'm givin' up ?? in the sky
So you can take my sin in up above on high, say goodbye

I'm not ready to love, I'm not ready to love
I'm not ready to love until I'm ready to love you the way you should be loved
Until I'm ready to hold you the way you should be held
You should be held, but I'm not ready to

Si xx

[P-Bal]

But I can't seem to get my head around
All the things that I feel good about always seem to disappear
And every time I think I've got this all worked out
Something chews me up and spits me out
But there's nothing left to fear
I'm better alone my dear

[Si Hunt]

If we took a Holiday,
Took some time to celebrate,
Just one day out of life,
It would be,
It would be so nice.

Si.
