Always remember a line from the rockin' chair song, by Dean Friedman,..Take a look at the place you call your home, your'e reflected in everything you own..

Hi Paul, The lyrics that immediately spring to mind are Jimmy Cliff's - "You can get it if you really want but you must try, try and try - you succeed at last!"

I think the words of Billy Joel's "Innocent Man" ring true -"Some people stay away from the door if there'a a chance of it opening up". Not inspiring, exactly, but the words of Randy Newman's Political Science are spot on regarding American foreign policy - "No one likes us/I don't know why/we may not be perfect but heaven knows we try..." I really like Kirsty Macoll's lyrics too, and Ian Dury's. RIP.

I'm not sure about inspire but there are lots that give me goose pimples. So Strong - Labbi Siffre Borderline - Chris de Burgh If Tomorrow Never Comes - Ronan Keating Honey - Bobby Goldsbro (can't spell his name) There's others but I can't think of them at the moment. Mel

Craig, I agree with you about Beautiful South. I particularly like 'So you're older and I look at your face. Every wrinkle is so easy to place. And I only write them down just in case you should die. Take a look at these crow's feet, just look, sitting on the prettiest eyes... sixty 25th of Decembers, fifty nine 4th of Julys, you can't have too many good time, children, you can't have too many lines. take a good look at these crow's feet, sitting on the prettiest eyes.'

Joy, the singer of I Will Survive is Gloria Gaynor. The lyrics are very good. There are loads that I think are really good, but am not in music mode at the moment. Ask me later, lol! Glenys.

Hope you didn't lose anything too special. Feeling quite old now, nobody seems to have vinyl any more. The wonders of cd's and tinternet eh? When I were a lad...... blah, blah, blah etc.

The lyric which inspires me is " If you had 1 shot, or 1 opportunity to seize everything you ever wanted in 1 moment, would you capture it, or just let it slip?" - Eminem

I don't have ANY vinyl anymore it all ghot nicked :( Didn't have that LP tho .. but it was quite good !

o.k paul if you say i did then i didxxx(:

Beautiful South are a top lot! Still got the Housemartins "NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL QUITE GOOD" on vinyl. Some bands are always worth listening to.

Lisa... whatever

i didn't paul.like i said maybe you need to get your eyes testedxxxxx(:

no Lisa, you said Stuck in the middle, and you've changed it - I'm not daft lol

The covers albums a bit of a mixed bag I found.. a few good ones, but quite a few average ones... I'm just left thinking... why ? Beautiful South are about to do the same thing apparrently, I await that eagerly...

paul i have got that on there.i think your eyes are decieving you!xxxx(:

By the way, I went to see Weller at Sheffield City Hall last year and it was mind blowin'. He did a few covers then and so it was no surprise to see his latest album. I don't mind so much when established artists do covers, but I hate to see good tracks ruined by 'BOY BANDS'. AAARRGHHH!!!

Have actually just thought of one that struck a chord with me when I first heard it... . In the song "Some of Us" by Starsailer there's the line... "Some of us laugh, some of us cry, some of us drink, some of us lie, but it's all just the way that we cope with our lives". very true.

I'd like to agree with you but, when Illumination was first released, I bought a copy and then moved house the following week. Guess what? That's right, it got lost!!! Trouble now is that I refused to buy it again on the premise that, it may eventually turn up. Not that I'm tight.

Craig, Agree with you on that one. Another Weller song that I rate highly is 'Going Places' off the Illumination album. Fine lyricist.
