alex harvey - to make my life beautiful

[cristobal]

tried to send this as an email, but it was returned: quota full - or something. I hope this is alright?

hello:

just revisited your site, and was pleasantly surprised to see the text to 'mama told me not to come' replaced by mine, submitted a couple months ago. I get no credit whatsoever, but who cares...

something else: I think I asked you this before, but I'm not sure:

I miss alex harvey and his song 'to make my life beautiful'. some may say it's sentimental slop, but I just LOVE it. good vibes and memories and all that.

I have for you a truncated text unfit to publish, but it's a start, isn't it?

here goes:

____________________________

alex harvey - to make my life beautiful

the dawn ... reach cross the pillow

where the face of an angel

lies cradled in a nest of tangled hair

and the smile of contentment

on your face while you've been sleeping

keeps me going makes me know just why I'm here

and I don't believe you'll ever find

the thought will ever cross my mind to leave

I'd die from loneliness

I need your onliness

a place for my soul to rest

yes I need your love

to make my life beautiful

the alarm clock rings at seven

and I feel her/you stir beside me

I hear your gentle footsteps on the floor

I raise up from my pillow

just in time to catch a small glimpse

of a housecoat swishing through the kitchen door

and I don't believe you'll ever find (etc)

I watch my shavin' raises (?)

... smoothly on the face

of a happy man who loves to live at home

and the sweetest voice I ever heard

is calling me to breakfast

I don't know how I made it on my own

and I don't believe... etc.

This is the first time I read about other versions. I only knew/know Three Dog Night, and I can't imagine Tom Jones did a better job... TDN rules! btw: I found a couple of errors in the text posted here. Could it be that the bit about "a hostess not lastin'" comes from another version? Once again, I prefer the girlfriend passed out on the floor!
