I recently bought an album by the group 'Madness' and heard a song called " Shut Up "
It included one of the funniest lines that I have heard for a long time:

" I'm as honest as the day is long.
The longer the daylight , the less I do wrong".

So Gransnetters, the ball is now in your court. ??.

baubles the wonderful Cohen. I was going to put that. But really there are so many Cohen lines you could choose.

Two lines from a Robbie Williams song:

I hope I'm old before I die
I hope I live to relive the days gone by

And a verse from Adele's Someone Like You:

You know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised
In a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days

As my heart holds you
Just one beat away
I cherish all you gave me everyday
'Cause you are mine
Forever love
Watching me from up above
And I believe
That angels breathe
And that love will live on and never leave.

Josh Groban ' To Where You Are'

Ah, I like that one, Jalima.

And it seems to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in

My gift is my song and this one's for you
And you can tell everybody this is your song

Bernie Taupin, music Elton John

And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liars chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair

Here's a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry, be happy
In every life we have some trouble
But when you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy
Don't worry, be happy now

(Bobby McFerrin)

Has anyone mentioned Glad rags and handbags yet?

I wear your granddad's clothes
I look incredible
I'm in this big ass coat
From that thrift shop down the road

Courtesy of my grandsons.
Its one of their favourite songs. smile

Time to get out the old CDs or vinyl

Al I can hear from the sitting room is Kevin McLeod, a very nice man but hmm

These threads always make me feel slightly melancholy... I love them though. So many wonderful words..

Jalima1108 Fri 24-Aug-18 20:06:23

And I guess that's why they call it the blues
Time on my hands could be time spent with you
Laughing like children, living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that's why they call it the blues

T Rex - Yes I remember them but I was probably busy listening to Elton John etc at the time

MissAdventure Fri 24-Aug-18 20:03:05

MissAdventure Fri 24-Aug-18 19:56:37
