Sorry but I just have to get this outta my system.

Raven hair and ruby lips
sparks fly from her finger tips
Echoed voices in the night
she's a restless spirit on an endless flight
wooo hooo witchy woman, see how
high she flies
woo hoo witchy woman she got
the moon in her eye
She held me spellbound in the night
dancing shadows and firelight
crazy laughter in another
room**and she drove herself to madness
with a silver spoon
woo hoo witchy woman see how high she flies
woo hoo witchy woman she got the moon in her eye
Well I know you want a lover,
let me tell your brother, she's been sleeping
in the Devil's bed.
And there's some rumors going round
someone's underground
she can rock you in the nighttime
'til your skin turns red
woo hoo witchy woman
see how high she flies
woo hoo witchy woman
she got the moon in her eye

**favorite part

I was takin' a trip out to LA
toolin' along in my Chevrolet

tokin' on a number and diggin' on the radio

jes' as I cross the Mississippi line I heard that highway start to whine

and I knew that left rear tire was about to go

well the spare was flat and I got uptight 'cause there wasn't a fillin' station in sight

so I jes' limped down the shoulder on the rim

I went as far as I could and when I stopped the car

it was right in front of this little bar

a kind of a redneck lookin' joint called the Dew Drop Inn

well I stuffed my hair up under my hat

and told the bartender that I had a flat

and would he be kind enough to give me change for a one

there was one thing I was sure proud to see

there wasn't a soul in the place 'cept for him an' me

and he jest looked disgusted an' pointed toward the telephone

I called up the station down the road a ways

and he said he wasn't very busy t'day

and he could have somebody there in jest 'bout ten minutes or so

he said now you jes' stay right where yer at

and I didn't bother tellin' the durn fool I sure as hell didn't have anyplace else to go

I jes ordered up a beer and sat down at the bar

when some guy walked in an' said who owns this car

with the peace sign the mag wheels and four on the floor

well he looked at me and I damn near died

and I decided that I'd jus wait outside

so I layed a dollar on the bar and headed for the door

jes' when I thought I'd get outta there with my skin

these five big dude come strollin' in

with this one old drunk chick

and some fella with green teeth

an' I was almost to the door when the biggest one

said you tip your hat to this lady son

an' when I did all that hair fell out from underneath

now the last thing I wanted was to get into a fight

in Jackson Mississippi on a Saturday night

'specially when there was three of them and only one of me

well they all started laughin' and I felt kinda sick

and I knew I'd better think of somethin' pretty quick

so I jes' reached out an' kicked ol' green-teeth right in the knee

he let out a yell that'd curl your hair

but before he could move I grabbed me a chair

and said watch him folks 'cause he's a thouroughly dangerous man

well you may not know it but this man's a spy

he's an undercover agent for the FBI

and he's been sent down here to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan

he was still bent over holdin' on to his knee

but everyone else was lookin' and listenin' to me

and I layed it on thicker and heavier as I went

I said would you beleive this man has gone as far

as tearin' Wallace stickers off the bumpers of cars

and he voted for George McGoveren for president

well he's a friend of them long-haired hippie type pinko fags

I betcha he's even got a Commie flag Tacked up on the wall inside of his garage

he's a snake in the grass I tell ya guys

he may look dumb but that's jus a disguise

he's a mastermind in the ways of espionage

they all started lookin' real suspicious at him

and he jumped up an' said jes' wait a minute jim

you know he's lyin' I've been livin' here all of my life

I'm a faithfull follower of Brother John Burch

and I belong to the Antioch Baptist Church

and I ain't even got a garage -- you can call home and ask my wife

then he started sayin' somethin' 'bout the way I was dressed

but I didn't wait around to hear the rest

I was too busy movin' and hopin' I didn't run outta luck

and when I hit the ground I was makin' tracks

and they were jes' takin' my car down off the jacks

so I threw the man a twenty an' jumped in an' fired that mother up

Mario Andretti woulda sure been proud

of the way I was movin' when I passed that crowd

comin' out the door and headin' toward me in a trot

an' I guess I shoulda gone ahead an' run

but somehow I couldn't resist the fun

of chasin' them jes' once around the parkin' lot

well they're headin' for their car but I hit the gas

and spun around and headed them off at the pass

well I was slingin' gravel and puttin' a ton of dust in the air

well I had them all out there steppin' an' a fetchin'

like their heads were on fire and their asses was catchin'

but I figured I oughta go ahead an split before the cops got there

when I hit the road I was really wheelin'

had gravel flyin' and rubber squeelin'

an' I didn't slow down 'til I was almost to Arkansas

I think I'm gonna re-route my trip

I wonder if anybody'd think I'd flipped

if I went to LA via Omaha

These guys sang this song and it's been in my head all day:

Well, I built me a raft and she's ready for floatin'
Ol' Mississippi, she's callin' my name
Catfish are jumpin'
That paddle wheel thumpin'
Black water keeps rollin' on past just the same
Old black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Old black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Old black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Yeah, keep on shinin' your light
Gonna make everything, pretty mama
Gonna make everything all right
And I ain't got no worries
'Cause I ain't in no hurry at all

Well, if it rains, I don't care
Don't make no difference to me
Just take that street car thats goin' up town
Yeah, I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland
And dance a honky tonk
And I'll be buyin' ev'rybody drinks all 'roun'

Old black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Old black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Old black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Yeah, keep on shinin' your light
Gonna make everything, pretty mama
Gonna make everything all right
And I ain't got no worries
'Cause I ain't in no hurry at all

I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland
Pretty mama come and take me by the hand
By the hand, take me by the hand pretty mama
Come and dance with your daddy all night long
I want to honky tonk, honky tonk, honky tonk
With you all night long

Oh,and let me add that they did an EXCELLENT job.(especially on the last part) But they didn't win!!! Some trampy Christina/Britney wannabe did. *FIGURES*

(*cough, cough!) Ahem....is this thing on?
*tapping microphone, screeching of feedback*
Ok, 1,2,3,4

eternal life is now on my trail
got my red glitter coffin man, just need one last nail
while all these ugly gentlemen play out their foolish games
there's a flaming red horizon that screams our names

and as your fantasies are broken in two
did you really think this bloody road would pave the way for you?
you better turn around and blow your kiss hello to life eternal angel

racist everyman, what have you done
man, you've made a killer of your unborn son
crown my fear your king at the point of a gun
all i want to do is love everyone!

and as your fantasies are broken in two
did you really think this bloody road would pave the way for you?
you better turn around and blow your kiss hello to life eternal angel

there's no time for hatred, only questions
what is love? where is happiness? what is life? where is peace?
when will i find the strength to bring me release?

tell me where is the love in what your prophet has said?
man, it sounds to me just like a prison for the walking dead
when you've got no more of your religion to sell,
well i've get a message for you and your twisted hell
you better turn around and blow your kiss goodbye to life eternal angel....

Eternal Life - Jeff Buckley

It's been a long time I did not sing in here. I had to sing. Here we go, put a finger in your ears!

"All my life I worshipped her
Her golden voice, her beauty's beat
How she made us feel, how she made me real
And the ground beneath her feet
And the ground beneath her feet

And now I can't be sure of anything
Black is white, and cold is heat
For what I worshipped stole my love away
It was the ground beneath her feet
It was the ground beneath her feet"

"The ground beneath her feet"-U2... I love singing this one, I love that song!

It starts with 1 thing, I dont know y, it doesnt even matter how hard u try, keep that in mind i designed this rhyme to explain in due time, all i know time is a valuble thing, watch is fly by as the pendulum swings watch it fly by till the end of the day it clicks like the way , its so unreal. I left everything inside and even though i tried, it all fell apart. What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when, I tried so hard, and got so far, but in the end it doesnt even, i had to fall to lose it all, but in the end it doesnt even matter. By: Linkin Park. "In The End"

I'm a great singer. I can sing all varieties of music and in most ranges. Here's one I like to sing:

I'm coming up so you better get this party started.
I'm coming up so you better get this party started.

Get this party started on a Saturday night
Everybody's waiting for me to arrive
Sending out the message to all of my friends
We'll be looking flashy in my Mercedes Benz.
I got lots of style check my gold diamond ring
I can go for miles if you know what I mean

I'm coming up so you better get this party started.
I'm coming up so you better get this party started

Pumping up the volume, breaking down to the beat
Crusing down the westside we'll be checking the scene
Boulevard is freaking as I'm coming up fast
I'll be burning rubber you'll be kissing my a**
Pull up to the bumper get out of the car
License plate says Stunner Number One Superstar

I'm coming up so you better get this party started
I'm coming up so you better get this party started

Making my connection as I enter the room
Everybody's chillin as I set up the groove
Pumping up the volume with the brand new beat
Everybody's dancing and their dancing for me
I'm your operator you can call any time
I'll be your connection to the party line

Get this party started right now
Get this party started.

I recognized yours LilSpikey! "Get this party started" by Pink. Now, here is one song that I SING with a lot of emotion and power.

"Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And everything you do
They were all yellow
I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called 'Yellow'
So then I took my turn
Oh what a thing to have done
And it was all yellow

Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
You know, you know I love you so
You know I love you so..."

"Yellow" by Coldplay

ahem...

at first i was afraid
i was petrified
kept thinking i could never live
without you by my side
but then i spent so many nights
thinking how you done me wrong
and i grew strong
and i learned how to get along

and so your back (thump thump of bass now)
from outer space
i just walked in to find you here
without that look upon your face
i should have changed that stupid lock
i should have made you leave the key
if i'd have known for just one second
you'd be back to bother me

go on now go (frantic pointing of fingers at
friends and sudden gyration of hips !!!)
walk out the door
just turn around now
cos you're not welcome anymore
...weren't you the one (point at husband now)
who tried to break me with desire
did you think i'd crumble
did you think i'd lay down and die (dramatic gesture with hands of lying down on floor)
oh no not i, ('absolutely not' handgestures here)

i will survive
oh as long as i know how to love (great passionate thumpings of chest in general heart area as i'm not a doctor and haven't a scooby doo!)
i know i'll stay alive
i've got all my life to live (lots of pointing to
myself)
and i've got all my love to give(point at self again in some sort of meaningful way)
and i'll survive,
i will survive...hey,hey...

sorry can't do all lyrics, i get over excited when i do that and it's not a pretty sight !



ps: forgot to add - i will survive by gloria gayner

I'm not a great singer but Izzi just sent me the lyrics of the Rolling Stones' Monkey Man - so as it seem like my song I'll just have to have a go....

I'm a flea-bit peanut monkey
All my friends are junkies
That's not really true
I'm a cold Italian pizza
I could use a lemon squeezer
How'd you do?

I've been bit and
I've been tossed around by every she-rat in this town
Have you, babe?

Well, I'm just a monkey man
I'm glad you are a monkey woman too

I was bitten by a boar
I was gouged and I was gored
But I pulled on through
Yes I'm a sack of broken eggs
I always have an unmade bed
Don't you?

Well, I hope we're not too messianic
Or a trifle too satanic
We love to play the blues

Well I am just a monkey man
I'm glad you are a monkey, monkey woman too
Babe

(told you I couldn't sing)

I thought that I could sing, and everyone wants to sing Patsy Cline, I play her cd in the car, and sing song after song. Dreamed of singing her stuff on stage, thought I would do great. Not.

Local bar had Kareokee(forgive spelling)and all the people from work were going. I would get up and sing Sweet dreams of you. Did that. Did awful, sounded awful. Of course all my friends were impressed that I got up to do that at all!

here it goes,

Sweet dreams of you,
every night, I go through,
why can't I forget the past,
start loving someone new,
instead of having seet dreams
about you.

And it goes on and on. Screeching high notes etc. I thought that I could sing, and everyone wants to sing Patsy Cline, I play her cd in the car, and sing song after song. Dreamed of singing her stuff on stage, thought I would do great. Not.

sorry messed up message

Ever close your eyes
Ever stop and listen
Ever feel alive
And you've nothing missing
You don't need a reason
Let the day go on and on

Let the rain fall down
Everywhere around you
Give into it now
Let the day surround you
You don't need a reason
Let the rain go on and on

What a day, what a day to take to
What a way, what a way to make it through
What a day, what a day to take to a wild child

Only take the time
From the helter skelter
Every day you find
Everything's in kilter
You don't need a reason
Let the day go on and on

Every summer sun
Every winter evening
Every spring to come
Every autumn leaving
You don't need a reason
Let it all go on and on

What a day, what a day to take to
What a way, what a way to make it through
What a day, what a day to take to a wild child

What a day, what a day to take to
What a way, what a way to make it through
What a day, what a day to take to a wild child

Wild Child---Enya

P.S.---I'm a big Enya fan.

Aha!! Sorry kids, just felt like singing....

A woman came up to me and said
"I'd like to poison your mind
With wrong ideas that appeal to you
Though I am not unkind"
She looked at me, I looked at something
Written across her scalp
And these are the words that it faintly said
As I tried to call for help:

There's only one thing that I know
how to do well
And I've often been told
that you only can do
What you know
how to do well
And that's be you,
Be what you're like,
Be like yourself,
And so I'm having a wonderful time
But I'd rather be whistling in the dark

Whistling in the dark - They Might Be Giants

(I left out a lot of the chorus add-on stuff. The spirit was willing but the fingers were weak! )

A man came up to me and said
"I'd like to change your mind
By hitting it with a rock," he said,
"Though I am not unkind."
We laughed at his little joke
And then I happily walked away
And hit my head on the wall of the jail
Where the two of us live today.

There's only one thing that I know
how to do well
And I've often been told
that you only can do
What you know
how to do well
And that's be you,
Be what you're like,
Be like yourself,
And so I'm having a wonderful time
But I'd rather be whistling in the dark ...

(the rest of it, that is! )

This is for Lefois (sing with me!!)

When the moon is in the Seventh House,
and Jupiter aligns with Mars.
Then peace will guide the planets,
And love will steer the stars.

This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius,
The age of Aquarius, Aquarius! Aquarius!

Harmony and understanding,
Sympathy and trust abounding.
No more falsehoods or derisions,
Golden living dreams of visions.
Mystic crystal revelation,
And the mind's true liberation.
Aquarius! Aquarius!

OK, KRISTY! I sang! Honest...and now........

LET THE SUN SHINE.....LET THE SUN SHINE IN...
The sun shine in!

doo doo doo do...

Again! (geez..bedtime for me...too much excitement!) Night all!

Sometimes it really cheers me up here, ya know???

That one always makes me a bit teary! (I've watched that damned Hair video too many times!!)

Jealous Guy

I was dreaming of the past.
And my heart was beating fast,
I began to lose control,
I began to lose control,

I didn't mean to hurt you,
I'm sorry that I mad you cry,
I didn't want to hurt you,
I'm just a jealous guy,

I was feeling insecure,
You night not love me any more,

I was shivering inside,
I was shivering inside,

I was trying to catch your eyes,
Thought that you were trying to hide,
I was swallowing my pain,
I was swallowing my pain.

John Lennon!!

I'm on top of the world,
looking down on creation
and the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found,
ever since you've been around
Your love's put me....
....on the top of the world!

Top of the World - The Carpenters

Tilt that fedora forward....snap fingers smartly along with the intro....microphone up....and.....

Fly me to the moon
and let me sing among the stars....
Let me see what life is like on Jupiter and Mars.

In other words...........take my hand........
In other words.............la la la la

Frank Sinatra...Fly me to the Moon!

Mrs TW and me once sung 'Daydream Believer' at a pub karaoke ...it was not good but we made everyone suffer it right to the very end. Just because MrsTW can't reach half the notes and I sounded like a typical pub singer who distorts all the words, this was no reason to give up.

(Mrs TW)I could fly 'neath the wings of the blue.... as she sings. The ... o'clock alarm would never RING ...

(Me) I couldah flyah 'neef da wings of da bloobird as she singsah. Tha six er'clock alarmah would nevah ring...(where's me beer!)

We weren't asked to sing again!

Sorry. Double post. How did that happen!
