not heard this, but just seen the lyrics and as I have just been to London seemed apt

Sweet Thames Flow Softly Ewan McColl

I met my love at Woolwich Pier, beneath the big crane standing
And all the love I felt for her it passed all understanding;
Took her sailing on the river, flow sweet river flow,
London Town was mine to give her, Sweet Thames flow softly.
Made the Thames into a crown, flow sweet river flow,
Made a brooch of Silver Town, Sweet Thames flow softly.

At London Yard I held her hand at Blackwall Point I faced her,
At the Isle of Dogs I kissed her mouth and tenderly embraced her.
Heard the bells of Greenwich ringing, flow sweet river flow,
All the time my heart was singing , sweet Thames flow softly.
Limehouse Reach I gave her there, flow sweet river flow,
As a ribbon for her hair, sweet Thames flow softly.
From Shadwell dock to Nine Elms Reach, we cheek to cheek were dancing,
Her necklace made of London Bridge her beauty was enhancing.
Kissed her once again at Wapping, flow sweet river flow,
After that there was no stopping, sweet Thames flow softly.
Richmond Park it was her ring, flow sweet river flow,
I'd have given her anything, sweet Thames flow softly.

From Rotherhithe to Putney Bridge, my love I was declaring,
And she from Kew to Isleworth her love for me was swearing,
Love had set me heart a-burning, flow sweet river flow,
Never saw the tide was turning, sweet Thames flow softly.
Gave her Hampton Court to twist, flow sweet river flow,
Into a bracelet for her wrist, sweet Thames flow softly.

But now alas the tide has turned, me love she has gone from me
And winter frost has touched me heart and put a blight upon me.
Creeping fog is on the river, flow sweet river flow,
Sun, and Moon, and stars, gone with her, sweet Thames flow softly.
Swift the Thames runs to the sea, flow sweet river flow,
Bearing ships and part of me, sweet Thames flow softly.

Broggy its my fave Metallica song :o)

David the Waterboys reminds me of when I first started going out, only have to hear that song and im back there.

Yeh they do David you cant understand the emotion in just the written words.

On of my favourites

Schools Out Lyrics
Alice Cooper

Well we got no class
And we got no principles
And we got no innocence
We can't even think of a word that rhymes

"And you're heading somewhere, but I've been to somewhere and found it was nowhere at all
And I've picked up a couple more years on you babe, and that's all " Dr Hook :)

And all of Wish You Were Here cos there ain't an unexceptional line in it

She wondered how it ever got this crazy, she thinks about a boy she knew in school. Did she get tired or did she just get lazy? She's so far gone she feels just like a fool...

How about -

shake shake shake
shake shake shake
shake your booty
shake your booty

Deep and profound. Has me in tears everytime:))

Oh Suemaid.

Floyd wish you were here?

I nearly posted that lol

Yeh Jax, one of my favourites especially for drunken maudlin early hours lol. Yrs too I bet;)

Out where the river broke
The bloodwood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in forty five degrees

Four wheels scare the cockatoos
From kintore east to yuendemu
The western desert lives and breathes
In forty five degrees

(live - on scream in blue
The time has come
A facts a fact
It belongs to us all
Lets give it back)

LOL SueMaid !

Eagles , Uggers :)) was listening to that the other night.

Oh I've been smiling lately, dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be, some day it's going to come

Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again




When you crack the sky, scrapers fill the air.
Will you keep on building higher
'til there's no more room up there?
Will you make us laugh, will you make us cry?
Will you tell us when to live, will you tell us when to die?

I know we've come a long way,
We're changing day to day,
But tell me, where do the children play?

Yup not that I have to be drunk to be maudlin but it does help lol

Little sister don't you worry about a thing today
Take the heat from the sun
Little sister
I know that everything is not ok
But you're like honey on my tongue

True love never can be rent
But only true love can keep beauty innocent

I could never take a chance
Of losing love to find romance
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
No I could never take a chance
'Cause I could never understand
The mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman

You can run from love
And if it's really love it will find you
Catch you by the heel
But you can't be numb for love
The only pain is to feel nothing at all
How can I hurt when I'm holding you?

I could never take a chance
Of losing love to find romance
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman

And you're the one, there's no-one else
You make me want to lose myself
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman

Brown eyed girl across the street
On rue Saint Divine
I thought this is the one for me
But she was already mine
You were already mine...

Little sister
I've been sleeping in the street again
Like a stray dog
Little sister
I've been trying to feel complete again
But you're gone and so is God

The soul needs beauty for a soul mate
When the soul wants...the soul waits ...

No I could never take a chance
Of losing love to find romance
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman

For love and faith and sex and fear
And all the things that keep us here
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman

How can I hurt when I'm holding you?

Speaking of drunken maudlin nights..........


If you had not have fallen
Then I would not have found you
Angel flying too close to the ground
And I patched up your broken wing
And hung around a while
Tried to keep your spirits up
And your fever down
I knew someday that you would fly away
For love's the greatest healer to be found
So leave me if you need to
I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground
Fly on, fly on past the speed of sound
I'd rather see you up
Than see you down
Leave me if you need to
I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground

oops upside your head

Losing My Religion - R.E.M.

Life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up

Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream

Not sure exactly what it means but I just love anything that R.E.M. sing.

Sue x
