Yes, a great song, sung by the late great Kirstie McColl

You’re my bread when i’m hungry, you’re my shelter from troubled winds, you’re my anchor in life’s ocean but most of all you’re my best friend.

Kenny Rogers

Just watched Time in a Bottle on YouTube. A really beautiful song that I had forgotten. I also love In My Life by The Beatles, one of their best, I think.
Thank you for the music, the songs they’re singing!

'cause all of me loves all of you
love your curves and all your edges
all your perfect imperfections
(John Legend)

The first time ever I saw your face .....

Melts my heart

The Windmills of Your Mind by Noel Harrison, 1969 original. I wont type up the full lyrics, but here is a reminder and a link to the lovely old black and white video:

Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever spinning reel
As the images unwind
Like the circles
That you find
In the windmills of your mind !

Its a great thread altogether..

Common People by Pulp.
The whole song is brilliant. Impossible to pick a favourite line.

MissAdventure, like me, you have excellent taste!

Jarvis is a favourite of mine.
His lyrics are genius!

Last night I had a little altercation
They wobbled menacingly
Beneath the yellow street light it became a situation
Well, they wanted my brand-new phone with all the pictures of the kids and the wife
A struggle ensued and then fat children took my life

Jarvis Cocker. I love him!

As long as I gaze on Waterloo Sunset, I am in paradise.

The best song about London by the Kinks.

Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin' world go round!!!

I ran so fast that life and youth at last ran out
I never stopped to think what life was all about
And every conversation I can now recall
Concerned itself with me - me, and nothing else at all.

The amazing Charles Aznavour.

Colin Blunstone singing :

Caroline goodbye, Caroline goodbye.

If I was Caroline, and listening to one of the most gorgeous voices ever, I would definitely NOT be saying goodbye ??.

Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink
The years go by, faster than a wink,
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think

This one's for Rufus

Not quite the same thing, but a young Australian friend had posted this morning:

Rick Astley for Prime Minister because he's

Never gonna give you up,
never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry,
never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

For those who didn't know, Australia has had yet another change of PM.

A line from 'Synchronicity 2 ' by The Police makes me laugh:-

'We have to shout above the din of our Rice Crispies,
We can't hear anything at all'.

More of the Master LC

Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good so I never tried

I'm gonna rise above the emotional flood. Feeder
Saw the mighty Feeder at Rochdale Feel Good Festival onSaturday

My funny valentine
Sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart

and like Gillybob further up this thread, I love Jim Croce's Time In A Bottle.

"I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah"

That song reminds me of my mum.
She would jokingly sing it to my dad (but I think she meant it, really)

I always think of my beautiful granddaughter when I hear..
On the day that you were born the angels got together and decided to create a dream come true.
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue..

Ah but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now.....
