Don't you ever
Don't you ever
Stop being dandy
Showing me you're handsome

Prince Charming
Prince Charming
Ridicule is nothing to be scared of
Don't you ever
Don't you ever
Stop being dandy
Showing me you're handsome

Adam and the Ants

[Arksided]

Don't you try and pretend
It's my feeling we'll win in the end
I won't harm you or touch your defenses
Vanity and security, ah

Don't you forget about me
I'll be alone, dancing, you know it, baby
Going to take you apart
I'll put us back together at heart, baby
 

Simple Minds 

[Hazlinny]

Seems we've weathered
Hard times we've been through
In silence, I've waited
I missed you (I missed you, too)

'Cause you, you and I-I-I back together again
Got the world in a spin
'Cause you, you and I-I-I back together again
Got the world in a spin

Donny Hathaway & Roberta Flack

[maggiebee]

Together again
My tears have stopped falling
The long, lonely nights
Are now at an end

The key to my heart
You hold in your hand
And nothing else matters
We're together again

Buck Owens

[Hazlinny]

You can make me laugh
When I want to cry
In a world gone mad
We're on an all-time high (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

You and I 'til the end, don't need to pretend
Again and again, we'll stick together
Everything is alright, with you by my side
We won't say goodbye, we'll stick together (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

I'm sticking with you
'Cause I'm made out of glue
Anything that you might do
I'm gonna do too

You held up a stage coach in the rain
And I'm doing the same
Saw you hanging from a tree
And I made believe it was me

I'm sticking with you
'Cause I'm made out of glue
Anything that you might do
I'm gonna do too...

Reed, performed by Velvet Underground

[Canary42]

Looking high, high, high, looking low, low, low
Wondering why, why, why did she go, go, go?
For if I, I, I don't find my love, I know
I shall die, die, die 'cause I love her so

 

Britain's entry in 1960 Eurovision Song Contest. I remember it well, we came second.

Sung by Brian Johnson

[mushroom25]

Well, when I met you at the station
You were standing with a bootleg in your hand
I took you back to my little place
For a taste of a multicolored band
We're gonna get hi hi hi
The night is young
She'll be my funky little mama
Gonna rock it and we've only just begun

We're gonna get hi hi hi
With the music on
Won't say bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye
'Til the night is gone
I'm gonna do it to you, gonna do it
Sweet banana, you'll never give up
We're gettin' hi hi hi in the midday sun....

Paul McCartney & Wings

I'm sitting by the side of a river
Underneath the pale blue sky
I've got no need to worry, I'm in no hurry
I'm looking at the world go by.

Just sitting in the midday sun,
Just soaking up that currant bun,
With no particular purpose or reason
Sitting in the midday sun.

The Kinks

No one understood what I felt for Mary
No one cared until the night she went out walking all alone
And never came home
Man with a badge came knocking next morning
Here was I surrounded by a thousand fingers suddenly
Pointed right at me

I swear I left her by the river
I swear I left her safe and sound
I need to make it to the river
And leave this old Nebraska town

Richard Marx

[Hazlinny]

By the rivers of Babylon
There we sat down
Yeah, we wept
When we remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon
There we sat down
Yeah, we wept
When we remembered Zion

Boney M.

[Arksided]

Drawn by the undertow
My life is out of control
I believe this wave will bear my weight
So let it flow

Oh sit down (sit down)
Oh sit down (sit down, sit down)
Oh sit down (sit down)
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down (sit down, sit down)
Down, down, down (sit down, sit down)
In sympathy

James

[Hazlinny]

I dreamed last night I got on the boat to heaven
And by some chance I had brought my dice along
And there I stood, and I hollered, "Someone fade me"
But the passengers they knew right from wrong

For the people all said
"Sit down, sit down you're rockin' the boat"
The people all said
"Sit down, sit down you're rockin' the boat
And the devil will drag you under
By the sharp lapel of your checkered coat
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down

Stubby Kaye

[Arksided]

In case of fear,in case of fire
In case of some kinda earthquake or forest fire
I got my man (I got my man) right in my sights (sight)
He looks to the left,leans to the right
You know I want you to now
Stand up for love,every good man
Stand up for love,and every foolish man
Stand up for love,and every rich man
Stand up for love,and every proud man
Stand up for love,stand up for love
Stand up for love,stand up for love

The cross. not the okey cokey

Sometimes it's hard to be a woman
Giving all your love to just one man
You'll have bad times
And he'll have good times
Doin' things that you don't understand

But if you love him you'll forgive him
Even though he's hard to understand
And if you love him, oh be proud of him
'Cause after all he's just a man

Stand by your man
Give him two arms to cling to
And something warm to come to
When nights are cold and lonely

Tammy Wynette

[Arksided]

You've only got my heart on a string
And everything aflutter (na na na na)
But another lonely night might take forever (na na na na)
We've only got each other to blame
It's all the same to me love

Cause I know
What I feel
To be right

No more lonely nights
No more lonely nights
You're my guiding light

Paul McCartney

[Hazlinny]

I may win on the roundabout
Then I'll lose on the swings
In or out, there is never a doubt
Just who's pulling the strings
I'm all tied up in you
But where's it leading me to?

I wonder if one day that, you'll say that, you care
If you say you love me madly, I'll gladly, be there
Like a muppet on a string

And now I'm searching through these carousels and the carnival arcades
Searching everywhere from steeplechase to palisades
In any shooting gallery where promises are made
To rockaway, rockaway
Rockaway, rockaway
From Cullercoats and Whitley Bay
Out to Rockaway

Dire Straits. I spotted it 😉

[Hazlinny]

Remember the songs
Used to make you rock away
Those were the days
When love used to reign, hey
We danced all night to the songs they played
Weekend come again do it just the same, hey

Beres Hammond ......... I thought you might but I got away with one last thread 😃  Nite Arky, sleep well. xx
