Always look on the bright side of life ...
"Allen Town", by Billy Joel - of course!
Get me to the church on time?
Underneath the Arches
I dream my dreams away.
Underneath the arches,
On cobblestones I lay.
Ev'ry night you'll find me,
Tired out and worn.
Happy when the daylight comes creeping,
Heralding the dawn.
Sleeping when it's raining,
And sleeping when it's fine,
I hear the trains rattling by above.
Pavement is my pillow,
No matter where I stray.
Underneath the Arches
I dream my dreams away.
Take me home, country roads
Fools Rush In (Where Angels Fear to Tread)
Fág uaim do eaglais ghalla
Is do chreideamh gan bonn gan bhrÃ
Mar gurb é is cloch bonn dóibh
Magairlà Anraà RÃ
Away with your English religion,
And your baseless meaningless faith,
For the only rock it is built on,
Are the balls of Henry the Eighth.
Antaine Ó Raifteirà (1784-1835)
Rule Britannia?
England Swings (like a pendulum do)?
If I Ruled the World?
Old Devil Moon?
Earth Angel?
Send in the Clowns?
Believe Me?
Sincerely?
What the World Needs Now
(is love sweet love)?
My best pick? Does Your Chewing Gum Lose its Flavor (on the bedpost over night) by Lonnie Donegan
Second choice; They're coming to take me away hahaa
Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun. (Noel Coward.)
You put your right foot in,
You put your right foot out;
You put your right foot in,
And you shake it all about.
You do the Hokey-Cokey,
And you turn yourself around.
That's what it's all about!
Woah, the hokey cokey,
Woah, the hokey cokey,
Woah, the hokey cokey,
Knees bent, arms stretched, ra ra ra!
Breaking up is hard to do
There can only be one song the apostate church of Ireland sing SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL Rolling Stones What else? its not the cause of CHRIST they serve
Stephen Green Newtonabbey, has it ever occurred to you that someone somewhere, holed up in a cave on a remote island in the South Pacific, was one final lone soldier of the Japanese Empire who was determined to fight the Americans to the last, long after eveyone else had put down their guns and Americans were watching Sony televion sets and driving around in Toyotas? Doesn't it sometimes get cold and lonely in your cave?
Is it 'The Devil Made Me Do It' by Thunder? :-)
The Devil Wears Prada?
Anyone remember Jeanine Deckers, Soeur Sourire (sister smile), the Belgian "singing nun" from back in the 1960s? Her most memorable hit was "Dominique"
From France and Pretender
Great Britain defend her,
Foes let them fall;
From foreign slavery,
Priests and their knavery,
And Popish Reverie,
God save us all.
Billy, leave it to you to add a sectarian comment. I'm for free speech, though, since it's the best way to shame idiot nonsense like your little ditty.
Ref: post #19
Not a little ditty as you put it but a forgotten verse from our National Anthem
God Save the Queen
Heaven, I'm in Heaven ...
What an interesting little exchange between Billy and David (Oxford)! What David feels is sectarian used to be part of the National Anthem and Billy feels that it's useful to remember it. All manner of questions prompted by this exchange come to mind..
Whose's the sleeper in the backgroud of the picture
Thats not someone sleeping, its a corpse! No different than the apostate who is singing! - spiritually dead!
William maybe you can confirm this. Isn't the person who's sleeping in the picture no other than TREVOR WILLIAMS, one of your predecessors as presenter of Sunday Sequence on the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ?
Now that I've heard the interview, I know the truth. He's lip synching. His mouth moves...but nothing comes out. It's all done with smoke and mirrors folks.
