My Street - Jane Taylor

Again, not on you tube so here is another link

https://soundcloud.com/jane-taylor/my-street/

Rhys-
I don't know whether it's my laptop, but the sound quality was not so good on that one.

Now the one with the lyrics I really liked was the one that comes on after it- "Blowing This Candle Out" I think a lot of people could identify with that situation

Blowing This Candle Out

Heard your name about a week ago
Seems you’re getting it together so
You’re doing fine
And I’m in a mess

Looking over all the things I do
Everything comes back to you
You’re doing fine
And I’m still in bed

What I did what I didn’t do
What I should have done
Well it’s still about you now
And I am not the weakest thread
I’m not scared of what I have left now

chorus
But where was my head?
Going insane
And where has it got me
To vow that I’d
Carry on holding your flame?
And you were my life
And what’s that all about?
It’s time I was blowing this candle out
Blowing this candle out

Saw you from my windowsill
Floating past on your pedestal
You’re looking fine
I need to get dressed

And I don’t trust my heart anymore
No idea what I’m looking for
You’re doing fine
I’m really not that sure
chorus


EMMS- Brilliant choice

Of Jane Taylor's songs my favourites are Fall On Me and Chef, they are on that list also.

Oooooooooooooooooh that is just BEAUTIFUL

I have to post the Lyrics for the girls to read

LYRICS TO RHYS' SONG FOR THE ROAD

Well the day casts down
Lengthy shadows on unfamiliar towns
I drove 300 miles from the place I call home
And I tip my hat to the angel of the North

And the sun sets fire to the heavens
On the hills over Sheffield tonight
And I'll sail over this countryside with new friends and old
And we are no where, but man, we're alright

So you can keep your belief in whatever
I'll wear my cynicism like a tattoo
While poets try to engineer definitions of love
You know all I can think of is you

And I can't wait to see you on Sunday
Far from the traffic and the smoke and the noise
For this evening I will play back every message that you sent
And I will sleep to the sound of your voice

Now I don't like using words like forever
But I will love you til the end of today
And in the morning when I remember everything that you are
I know I'll fall for you over again
I know someday this all will be over
And it's hard to say what most I will miss
Just give me one way to spend my last moments alive
And I'll choose this, I'll choose this, I'll choose this
I'll choose this, I'll choose this, I'll choose this
I'll choose this, I'll choose this, I'll choose this <3

JUST LOVELY LYRICS! :-) :-) :-)

I changed the link for one of them singing Zabadak in the 80s where they are singing and not miming! :-D :-D

Thanks for that Jem, as I said before, total nonsense but good fun anyway.
Now for something a bit more serious. I always thought this one was a bit 'weird.'


ANGIE BABY....Helen Reddy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8mGsis9nNo


The song tells the story of Angie, a young "crazy" girl who "lives [her] life in the songs" she hears on "rock and roll radio;" her mental disturbances led to her being removed from school and having no friends, leaving her to spend most of her time listening to the radio. One day, a young man "with evil on his mind" arrives at Angie's house, but once he enters Angie's room he is disoriented by the loud music. The song then takes a decidedly surrealistic turn as when Angie turns the volume down, the boy is said to be sucked into the radio and disappears. The closing verse describes the boy as Angie's "secret lover" and that nobody bothers to get an explanation from Angie in regard to the boy's whereabouts because of her insanity.

I remember that one well Liz :-) :-)

A great song!!
and not a little creepy! :-D :-D

Didn't Helen Reddy look a bit like Cilla Black in the beginning of that clip?

Edited... hahaha.. we both think alike Liz, I was already looking it up! When I posted my post, you had added what I'd been reading:-D :-D :-D
