I know it's boring, but I do love a sad song.

[Gone and well forgotten]

Artist: Nat King Cole

The party's over
It's time to call it a day
They've burst your pretty balloon
And taken the moon away

It's time to wind up the masquerade
Just make your mind up the piper must be paid

The party's over
The candles flicker and dim
You danced and dreamed through the night
It seemed to be right just being with him
Now you must wake up, all dreams must end
Take off your makeup, the party's over

It's all over, my friend

The party's over
It's time to call it a day
Now you must wake up, all dreams must end
Take off your makeup, the party's over

It's all over, my friend

Song Sung Blue

Written by: Neil Diamond ~ yeah baby!

Song sung blue
Everybody knows one
Song sung blue
Every garden grows one

Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
But when you take the blues and make a song
You sing them out again
Sing them out again

Song sung blue
Weeping like a willow
Song sung blue
Sleeping on my pillow

Funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice
And before you know it, start to feeling good
You simply got no choice

Song sung blue
Everybody knows one
Song sung blue
Every garden grows one

Flawed, last Sunday was Led Zeppelin. How about Neil Diamond this Sunday? LOL.

Neil Diamond - Forever In Blue Jeans

Money talks

but it don't sing and dance and it don't walk.
And long as I can have you here with me

I'd much rather be
forever in blue jeans.

Honey's sweet.
But it ain't nothing next to baby's treat.
And if you pardon me

I'd like to say we'll do okay

forever in blue jeans.

Maybe tonight

maybe tonight
by the fire all alone you and I;
nothing around but the sound of my heart and your sighs.

Money talks.
But it can't sing and dance and it can't walk.
And long as I can have you here with me

I'd much rather be
forever in blue jeans
babe.

And honey's sweet.
But it ain't nothing next to baby's treat.
And if you pardon me

I'd like to say we'll do okay

forever in blue jeans.

Maybe tonight

maybe tonight
by the fire all alone you and I;
nothing around but the sound of my heart and your sighs.

And money talks.
But it don't sing and dance and it don't walk.
And long as I can have you here with me

I'd much rather be
forever in blue jeans.

And long as I can have you here with me

I'd much rather be
forever in blue jeans
babe.

Do you wanT another loVer.....

Do you tire of me?
Have you had a better offer
Something wild and free?
I hope to god you're sure
You want this other more
Than you once wanted me
If it's all in my head
Why did you change the bed
A thousand times last week?

I've been to see the doctor
He agrees with me
There is nothing that can stop you
But can't I dream?
Half buried in a world
Where I love everyone
And everyone loves me
It's not normal but it's mine
And I'll leave in my own time
The one thing you can steal

Is it over
Is this the end of me?
Is it over
Dispensable and cheap?
Is it over
Is this end of me?
Is it over
I still want you

I have friends that owe me favours
They look out for me
They love me like a brother
If your memory's so strong
How come you got it wrong
On what you promised me
Can you now ignore
How you felt with every pore?
Tell me that wasn't real

If I want another lover
I'll get one easily
I still have much to offer....

Do you LoVe me?

NicK CaVe and the BadseeDs:

Onward! and onward! and onward I go
Where no man before could be bothered to go
Till the soles of my shoes are shot full of holes
And it’s all downhill with a bullet
This ramblin’ and rovin’ has taken it’s course
I’m grazing with the dinosaurs and the dear old horses
And the city streets crack and a great hole forces
Me down with my soapbox, my pulpit
The theatre ceiling is silver star spangled
And the coins in my pocket go jingle-jangle

Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?

There’s a man in the theatre with girlish eyes
Who’s holding my childhood to ransom
On the screen there’s a death,
There’s a rustle of cloth
And a sickly voice calling me handsome
There’s a man in the theatre with sly girlish eyes
On the screen there’s an ape, a gorilla
There’s a groan, there’s a cough, there’s a rustle of cloth
And a voice that stinks of death and vanilla
This is a secret, mauled and mangled
And the coins in my pocket go jingle-jangle

Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?

The walls in the ceiling are painted in blood
The lights go down, the red curtains come apart
The room is full of smoke and dialogue I know by heart
And the coins in my pocket jingle-jangle
As the great screen crackled and popped
And the clock of my boyhood was wound down and stopped
And my handsome little body oddly propped
And my trousers ride down to my ankles
Yes, onward! and upward!
And I’m off to find love
Do you love me? if you do, I’m thankful

Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?

This city is an ogre squatting by the river
It gives life but it takes it away, my youth
There comes a time when you just cannot deliver
This is a fact. this is a stone cold truth.
Do you love me? I love you, handsome.
But do you love me? yes, I love you, you are handsome
Amongst the cogs and the wires, my youth
Vanilla breath and handsome apes with girlish eyes
Dreams that roam between truth and untruth
Memories that become monstrous lies
So onward! and onward! and onward I go!
Onward! and upward! and I’m off to find love
With blue-black bracelets on my wrists and my ankles
And the coins in my pocket go jingle-jangle

Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
...
