Lullabies

Sunday, March 06, 2011

Having trouble sleeping lately - I can fall alseep, but wake up in 2 - 4 hours and can't get back to sleep. Not good on 12 hour night shifts! So, here are a couple of lullabies.


Rock-a-bye baby, in the tree top
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall
And down will come baby, cradle and all





Hush, little baby, don't say a word.
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird


And if that mockingbird won't sing,
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring


And if that diamond ring turns brass,
Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass


And if that looking glass gets broke,
Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat


And if that billy goat won't pull,
Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull


And if that cart and bull fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town

Knowing my luck the mocking bird would be like the parakeet on Monty Python. Report Inappropriate Comment

Five O'Clock World

Friday, March 04, 2011

It calmed down after midnight tonight (didn't last night), so I'm in a better mood. Whee!



The Vogues 1965

Up every mornin' just to keep a job
I gotta fight my way through the hustling mob


Sounds of the city poundin' in my brain
While another day goes down the drain


But its a five oclock world when the whistle blows
No one owns a piece of my time
And theres a five oclock me inside my clothes
Thinkin' that the world looks fine, yeah


Tradin' my time for the pay I get
Livin' on money that I ain't made yet


I've been goin' tryin' to make my way
While I live for the end of the day


'Cuz its a five oclock world when the whistle blows
No one owns a piece of my time, and
There's a long-haired girl who waits, I know
To ease my troubled mind, yeah


oh my lady, yeah
oh my lady, yeah
In the shelter of her arms everythings OK
When she talks then the world goes slippin' away


And I know the reason I can still go on
When every other reason is gone,


In my five oclock world she waits for me
Nothing else matters at all



'Cuz every time my baby smiles at me
I know thats its all worthwhile,
yeah oh my lady,
yeah oh my lady, yeah ........

You've Got A Friend

Wednesday, March 02, 2011

Written by Carole King, but made most famous by James Taylor

When your down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, whoa nothing is going right.


Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest nights.


You just call out my name,
And you know where ever I am
I'll come running, oh yeah baby
To see you again.


Winter, spring , summer, or fall,
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You've got a friend.


If the sky above you
Should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together and call my name out loud
And soon I will be knocking upon your door.


You just call out my name and you know where ever I am
I'll come running to see you again.


Winter, Spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is call
And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.


Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend?
People can be so cold.


They'll hurt you and desert you.
Well they'll take your soul if you let them.
Oh yeah, but don't you let them.


You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again.
Oh babe, don't you know that,
Winter Spring summer or fall,
Hey now, all you've got to do is call.


Lord, I'll be there, yes I will.
You've got a friend.
You've got a friend.
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend.
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend.
You've got a friend.

Sweet Dreams

Tuesday, March 01, 2011

By the Eurythmics in 1983 - I'm only doing 2 verses because it's repetitive - and i don't want to abuse you!


Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
Travel the world and the seven seas


Everybody's looking for something


Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you


Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused


I wanna use you and abuse you
I wanna know what's inside you


(Whispering) Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up, movin' on
Movin' on!
