Can you guess what song these lyrics are from?

[Darthvadar]

Come Up The Stairs'...

[kristina]

Correct, well done Darth...

... I believe it is an Irish song...

& I heard it many years ago when Dingle Spike sang it...

over...

[Darthvadar]

Thanks Kristina...

Bet you know this....


And they say that she once cut a record

They played it for a week or so

On the local radio

It never made it

She wanted to be Betty Grable

But now she sits there at that beer stained table

[galvo]

I know it - "Pearls A Singer"!!

Try:

"You have loved lots of girls in the sweet long ago,
And each one has meant Heaven to you.
You have vowed your affection to each one in turn,
And have sworn to them all you'd be true.
You have kissed 'neath the moon while the world seemed in tune
Then you've left her to hunt a new game,
Does it ever occur to you later, my boy,
That she's probably doing the same."

[Darthvadar]

Well done, Galvo...

Is yours 'I wonder who's Kissing Her Now'...

Try this one...


There's a boy from the other side
But there's nothing that you can do
And some folks put on armour
But the arrows go straight through

[galvo]

I love it! "Little Arrows", Leapy Lee!!

"Got the cutest little way,
Like to watch you all the day,
And it certainly seems fine
Just to think that you'll be mine.

When I see your pretty smile
Makes the living worth the while,
So I've got to run around
Telling people what I've found."

[Darthvadar]

'They didn't believe me', Old Blue Eyes...

Oh, darling, when you're near me
And you tenderly call my name
I know that my emotions
Are something I just can't tame
I've just got to have you, baby

[galvo]

" I Feel The Earth Move". I particularly like the Carol King version.

When the golden sun sinks in the hills
And the toil of a long day is o'er
Though the road may be long, in the lilt of a song
I forget I was weary before
Far ahead, where the blue shadows fall
I shall come to contentment and rest
And the toils of the day will be all charmed away,

[Darthvadar]

'Little Grey Home In The West'....


At the time, Uncle Benjy was a policeman in Brooklyn,
And my father, the youngest, looked after the farm.
Til a phone call from America said "Send the lad over."
And my old fella said, "Sure, t'wouldn't do any harm.

[nursewratchet]

Try this...


Twenty years now

Where'd they go?

Twenty years

I don't know

Sit and I wonder sometimes

Where they've gone

[Darthvadar]

Think I've heard this one...

'Like a Rock'......

[galvo]

Darth, your Uncle Benjy was patrolling "The Streets of New York"

So, naturally, I have to respond with:

"Down in front of Casey's
Old brown wooden stoop,
On a summer's evening,
We formed a merry group;
Boys and girls together,
We would sing and waltz,
While the "ginnie" played the organ

[nursewratchet]

Darth, you're killing me.  I'm pulling from the depths here.  That, by the way, is one of my FAVORITE songs...

[Darthvadar]

Hee Hee!!!!!.... Sorry Nurse, but I love giving nurses a hard time!!!... Bit of a blood sport!!!.... 

Try again!.....

Darth....

[Darthvadar]

Oh Galvo, yours is 'The Sidewalks of New York' if I'm not mistaken.....

[galvo]

Spot on, Darth!

"Private Perks is a funny little codger
With a smile, a funny smile.
Five feet none, he's an artful little dodger
With a smile, a funny smile.
Flush or broke he'll have his little joke,
He can't be suppress'd.
All the other fellows have to grin
When he gets this off his chest, Hi!"

[Wallyz]

Smile Smile Smile. 



I guess I grew up on an old dirt road
Pedal to the metal always did what I was told
Till I found out that my brand new clothes
Came second hand from the rich kids next door
When I grew up fast I guess I grew up mean
There's a thousand things inside my head I wish I ain't seen
And now i just wondered through a real bad dream
Feelin' like I'm coming apart at the seems

[galvo]

"Old Number 7"......hic!!


"Well I stumbled in at two am all drunk and fulla smoke
My wife said I have had enough Thats it! I'm sick, get out
So I stumbled down to Kelly's Pub, across the edge of town
An I told the boys me story and we had another round

[Darthvadar]

'Floggin' Molly!'....

How about this....

Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death ...

[Wallyz]

Goldfinger.  Shirley Bassey.

Some people get a cheap laugh breaking up the speed limit
Scaring up pedestrians for a minute
Crossing up the progress driving on the grass
Leaving just enough for room to pass
Sunday driver never took a test

[Darthvadar]

'Once Upon A Time In The West', Dire Straights... (Gawd, that's taking me back!)...

How about.....


You fought for the wrong country you fought for the wrong cause
and your ma often said that it was Ireland's great loss
all those fine young men who marched to foreign shores to fight the war
when the greatest war of all was at home

[kristina]

... I Remember The Day ...

This one is very different:
The composer, after successfully recovering from a massive stroke
was very grateful to be alive and dedicated this composition to charity.
At the first performance in Dublin the ladies were requested
to wear no “hoops” in their crinolines and the gentleman were asked
to attend without their swords, because there was not enough room
for every person who wished to attend.
Here it goes:

...Every valley shall be exalted,
and every mountain and hill made low,
the crooked straight and the rough places plain...

[Wallyz]

Georg Fredriech Handel "The Messiah"
Of course, he didn't really write the lyrics himself.


Thought I knew my mind like the back of my hand,
The gold and the rainbow, but nothing panned out as I planned.
And they say only milk and honey's gonna make your soul satisfied!
Well I better learn how to swim
Cause the crossing is chilly and wide.

[galvo]

"Watershed"

"So if the color we must wear be England's cruel red
Let it remind us of the blood that Irishmen have shed
And pull the shamrock from your hat, and throw it on the sod
But never fear, 'twill take root there, though underfoot 'tis trod."

[Darthvadar]

Galvo, is it 'The Wearing of the Green'....

Try this....

Weathered faces lined in pain
are soothed beneath the artist's
loving hand.
And now I understand what you tried to say to me


P.S... Galvo.. Love to the lovely Camilla....
