For my most precious C-girl. She is the pot of gold at the end of my platonic rainbow.

Thanks for the times that you've given me

The memories are all in my mind

And now that we've come to the end of our rainbow

There's something i must say out loud

You're once, twice, three times a lady

And I love you...

Yes, you're once, twice, three times a lady

And I love you... I love you...

When we are together the moments I cherish

With every beat of my heart

To touch you, to hold you

To feel you, to need you

There's nothing to keep us apart

You're once, twice, three times a lady

And I love you... I love you...

For my one and only Master Sir bazooka...

Bo Diddley bought his babe a diamond ring,

If that diamond ring don't shine,

He gonna take it to a private eye,

If that private eye can't see

He'd better not take the ring from me.

Bo Diddley caught a nanny goat,

To make his pretty baby a Sunday coat,

Bo Diddley caught a bear cat,

To make his pretty baby a Sunday hat.

Mojo come to my house, ya black cat bone,

Take my baby away from home,

Ugly ole mojo, where ya bin,

Up your house, and gone again.

Bo Diddley, Bo Diddley have you heard?

My pretty baby said she wasn't for it.

For Crazy Don, because I think of this song whenever I see his Cartman avatar between the holidays...

I'm sailing away, set an open course for the virgin sea

I've got to be free, free to face the life that's ahead of me

On board, I'm the captain, so climb aboard

We'll search for tomorrow on every shore

And I'll try, oh Lord, I'll try to carry on

I look to the sea, reflections in the waves spark my memory

Some happy, some sad

I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had

We live happily forever, so the story goes

But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold

But we'll try best that we can to carry on

A gathering of angels appeared above my head

They sang to me this song of hope, and this is what they said

They said come sail away, come sail away

Come sail away with me

Come sail away, come sail away

Come sail away with me

I thought that they were angels, but to my surprise

They climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies

Singing come sail away, come sail away

Come sail away with me

Come sail away, come sail away

Come sail away with me

More for my sister in all things 80s, Jenny..

All alone on a Sunday morning

Outside I see the rain is falling

Inside I'm slowly dying

But the rain will hide my crying

And you, don't you know my tears will burn the pillow

Set this place on fire 'cause I'm tired of your lies

All I needed was a simple "Hello"

But the traffic was so noisy that you could not hear my cry

Ah, I gave you my love in vain

My body never knew such pleasure

My heart never knew such pain

And you, you leave me so confused

Now I'm all cried out over you

Oh, you. Im over you, oooh.

Never wanted to see things you way

I had to go astray, oh, why was I such a fool?

Now I see that the grass is greener [why oh why]

Is it too late for me to find my way home,

How could I be so wrong? [Leavin' me all alone]

Don't you know my tears will cause an inferno

Romance up in flames, why should I take the blame

You were the one who left me neglected [i'm so sorry]

Apology not accepted, add me to the broken hearts you collected

Ah, I gave you all of me [gave me all of you]

How was I to know you would weaken so easily

Ah, I don't know what to do

I'm all cried out [i'm all] over you [i'm cried out too]

[Whoa, whoa...]

Ah, I gave you my love in vain

My body never knew such pleasure

My heart never knew such pain

And you [i left you so confused, now I'm all cried out]

Now I'm all cried out....over you....

I'm so sorry babe,

Please forgive me...

To Sammy, my fellow Smithereens fan:

Blood and Roses - The Smithereens

Jennnyyyyyyy!! That tune rules!! Thank you.

:bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:

And I dedicate this one to you, sweet Jenny from Jersey. It's from another Jersey band called Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show. And although I've never actually seen you, I'm sure that....

"Baby Makes Her Blue Jeans Talk"

Night falls on the city

Baby feels the beat

Slick and sexy angel of the street

Queen of all the night birds

Watch her when she walks

She don’t say nothing,

But baby makes her blue jeans talk

Baby makes her blue jeans

Yes, she makes her blue jeans talk

Baby makes her blue jeans

Yes, she makes her blue jeans talk

You know what she’s thinking about

And it turns you inside out

She don’t say nothing,

But baby makes her blue jeans talk

Night time in the city

Magic in the air

The action starts at midnight

She’ll be there

The queen of all the night birds

A player in the dark

She don’t say nothing,

But baby makes her blue jeans talk

Baby makes her blue jeans

Yes, she makes her blue jeans talk

Baby makes her blue jeans

Yes, she makes her blue jeans talk

You know what she’s thinking about

And it turns you inside out

She don’t say nothing,

But baby makes her blue jeans talk

Baby makes her blue jeans

Yes, she makes her blue jeans talk

Baby makes her blue jeans

Yes, she makes her blue jeans talk

You know what she’s thinking about

And it turns you inside out

She don’t say nothing,

But baby makes her blue jeans talk

She don’t say nothing,

But baby makes her blue jeans talk

She won’t say nothing

She don’t say nothing

For our fearless leader, Carl...

She was a be-bop baby on a hard day's night

She was hangin' on Johnny, he was holdin' on tight

Well, I could feel her coming from a mile away

There was no use talking, there was nothing to say

When the band began to play and play

CHORUS:

And we danced, like a wave on the ocean, romanced

We were liars in love and we danced

Swept away for a moment by chance

Yeah, we danced and danced and danced

I met my be-bop baby at the Union Hall

She could dance all night and shake the paint off the walls

But when I saw her smile across a crowded room

Well I knew we'd have to leave the party soon

As the band began to play out of tune

CHORUS

And we danced

The endless beat, she's walking my way

Hear the music fade when she says

Are we getting too close, do we dare to get closer

The room is spinning as she whispers my name

CHORUS

And danced and danced and danced and danced...

OMG, Lisa, Lisa for me and the Hooters (well, for Carl, but I still swooned)! I'm in '80's nirvana.

Aww, Sammy, I actually saw that video on VH1 classic. Thanks for thinking I'm hotter than I actually am.

For the beautiful Sue. I first heard this song based on her recommendation and loved it. Months later, after I was thoroughly sick of it because of massive overplay, the Peachlette happened to hear it on the radio and it became her favorite song. When I dance with her to the song, I invariably think of Sue...

I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind

There was something so pleasant about that place.

Even your emotions had an echo

In so much space

And when you're out there

Without care,

Yeah, I was out of touch

But it wasn't because I didn't know enough

I just knew too much

Does that make me crazy?

Does that make me crazy?

Does that make me crazy?

Possibly [radio version]

probably [album version]

And I hope that you are having the time of your life

But think twice, that's my only advice

Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are,

Ha ha ha bless your soul

You really think you're in control

Well, I think you're crazy

I think you're crazy

I think you're crazy

Just like me

My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb

And all I remember is thinking, I want to be like them

Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun

And it's no coincidence I've come

And I can die when I'm done

Maybe I'm crazy

Maybe you're crazy

Maybe we're crazy

Probably

Uh, uh

And here's one from an Athens, Georgia, band....especially for you, Sweet Peaches....

I hear a wind

Whistling air

Whispering in my ear

Boy mercury shootin' through every degree

Oooh girl dancin' down those dirty and dusty trails

Take it hip to hip, rocket through the wilderness

Around the world the trip begins with a kiss

Roam if you want to

Roam around the world

Roam if you want to

Without wings, without wheels

Roam if you want to

Without anything but the love we feel

Skip the air-strip for the sunset

Ride the arrow for the target---one

Take it hip to hip, rocket through the wilderness

Around the world the trip begins with a kiss

Roam if you want to

Roam around the world

Roam if you want to

Without wings, without wheels

Roam if you want to

Without anything but the love we feel

Fly the great big sky

See the great big sea

Kick through continents

Bustin' boundaries

Take it hip to hip, rocket through the wilderness

Around the world the trip begins with a kiss

Roam if you want to

Roam around the world

Roam if you want to

Without wings, without wheels

Roam if you want to

Without anything but the love we feel

Take it hip to hip

Rocket through the wilderness

To Martin...I am listening to a lot of Travis today, and it makes me think of you

Why Does It Always Rain On Me? - Travis

I can't sleep tonight

Everybody saying everything's alright

Still I can't close my eyes

I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all these lights

Sunny days

Where have you gone?

I get the strangest feeling you belong

Why does it always rain on me?

Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?

Why does it always rain on me?

Even when the sun is shining

I can't avoid the lightning

I can't stand myself

I'm being held up by an invisible man

Still life on a shelf when

I got my mind on something else

Sunny days

Where have you gone?

I get the strangest feeling you belong

Why does it always rain on me?

Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?

Why does it always rain on me?

Even when the sun is shining

I can't avoid the lightning

Oh, where did the blue skies go?

And why is it raining so?

It's so cold

I can't sleep tonight

Everybody saying everything's alright

Still I can't close my eyes

I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of the lights

Sunny days

Where have you gone?

I get the strangest feeling you belong

Why does it always rain on me?

Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?

Even when the sun is shining

I can't avoid the lightning

Oh, where did the blue skies go?

And why is it raining so?

It's so cold

Why does it always rain on me?

Why does it always rain on ...

For S2V, our resident photog (and possibly a closet Def Leppard fan?)...

I'm outta luck, outta love

Got a photograph, picture of

Passion killer, you're too much

You're the only one I wanna touch

I see your face everytime I dream

On every page, every magazine

So wild, so free, so far from me

You're all I want, my fantasy

Oh, look what you've done to this rock and roll clown

Oh, look what you've done

Photograph, I don't want your

Photograph, I don't need your

Photograph, all I've got is a photograph

But it's not enough

I'd be your lover, if you were there

Put your hurt on me if you dare

Such a woman, you got style

You make every man feel like a child

You got some kinda hold on me

You're all wrapped up in a mystery

So wild, so free, so far from me

You're all I want, my fantasy

Oh, look what you've done to this rock and roll clown

Oh, look what you've done

I gotta have you

Photograph, I don't want your

Photograph, I don't need your

Photograph, all I've got is a photograph

But it's not enough

You've gone straight to my head

Oh, look what you've done to this rock'n'roll clown

Oh, look what you've done

I gotta have you

Photograph, I don't want your

Photograph, I don't need your

Photograph, all I've got is a photograph

But it's not enough

I wanna touch you, Ohhhhhhh

For Mama Elvy...

Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys

Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks

Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such

Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys

They'll never stay home and they're always alone

Even with someone they love

Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold

And they'd rather give you a song then diamonds or gold

Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levi's each night begins a new day

And if you don't understand him and he don't die young

He'll probly just ride away

Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys

Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks

Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such

Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys

They'll never stay home and they're always alone

Even with someone they love

Cowboys like smokey old pool rooms and clear mountian moringin's

Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night

And them that don't know him won't like him

And them that do sometimes won't know how to take him

He ain't wrong he's just different

but his pride won't let him do things to make you think he's right

Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys

Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks

Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such

Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys

They'll never stay home and they're always alone

Even with someone they love

Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys

Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks

Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such

Every breath you take

Every move you make

Every bond you break

Every step you take

Ill be watching you

Every single day

Every word you say

Every game you play

Every night you stay

Ill be watching you

Oh, cant you see

You belong to me

How my poor heart aches

With every step you take

Every move you make

Every vow you break

Every smile you fake

Every claim you stake

Ill be watching you

Since youve gone I been lost without a trace

I dream at night I can only see your face

I look around but its you I cant replace

I feel so cold and I long for your embrace

I keep crying baby, baby, please...

Oh, cant you see

Every step you take

Ill be watching you

Ill be watching you

Ill be watching you

Ill be watching you

Ill be watching you...
