Post #677: The Smiths - "Handsome Devil" - Hatful of Hollow

Saw this yesterday and thought it was so perfect that I had to share it with you all:

It also made me think about the lines from "Handsome Devil" that go: "Oh, there's more to life than books, you know/But not much more, not much more..."

I get to see Morrissey on Saturday; so far, he's made good on all of his dates up to this point, and I've got my fingers crossed that he'll make it here, as well!

Hope you all find more time to read; it's truly magical!!

Until next time...

XOXOXO

All the streets are crammed with things

Eager to be held

I know what hands are for

And I'd like to help myself

You ask me the time

But I sense something more

And I would like to give

What I think you're asking for

You handsome devil

Oh, you handsome devil

Let me get my hands

On your mammary glands

And let me get your head

On the conjugal bed

I say, I say, I say

I crack the whip

And you skip

But you deserve it

You deserve it, deserve it, deserve it

A boy in the bush

Is worth two in the hand

I think I can help you get through your exams

Oh, you handsome devil

Oh, let me get my hands

On your mammary glands

And let me get your head

On the conjugal bed

I say, I say, I say

I crack the whip

And you skip

But you deserve it

You deserve it, deserve it, deserve it

And when we're in your scholarly room

Who will swallow whom?

When we're in your scholarly room

Who will swallow whom?

You handsome devil

Oh, let me get my hands

On your mammary glands

And let me get your head

On the conjugal bed

I say, I say, I say

There's more to life than books, you know

But not much more

Oh, there's more to life than books, you know

But not much more, not much more

Oh, you handsome devil

Oh, you handsome devil

Ow

Post #676: Ritchie Valens - "Come On, Let's Go" - Ritchie Valens (Album)

I'm just checking in... hope everyone is doing well! I recently returned from my trip to San Antonio. It's such a quaint, little city (as long as you remain within close proximity to the river, that is).   I also had an opportunity to see my beloved Psychedelic Furs.  They put on the most amazing performance at the Granada here in Dallas.

But back to today's song... So, if you've been following this blog even a little, you know that, with Spring upon us, this is the time of year that I love to roll down my car windows and blast the oldies!!

Here's a fantastic tune by Ritchie Valens... I'll also include his cover of "We Belong Together".

I must run off now... there's always so much to do and so little time on the weekends to fit it all in...

Until next time...

Well, come on let's go

Let's go, let's go, little darlin'

And tell me that you'll never leave me

Come on, come on, let's go-a

Again, again and again

Well now, swing me, swing me

All the way down there

Come on let's go little darlin'

Let's go, let's go again, once more

Well, I love you so, oh girl

And I'll never let you go

Come on baby, so

Oh pretty baby, I love you so

Let's go, let's go, let's go

Little sweetheart

And then we can always be together

Come on, come on, let's go again

(Ritchie & Rene - guitars & instrumental) 'go on'

I love you so, oh girl

And I'll never let you go

Come on baby, it's so

Oh pretty baby, I-I love you so

Let's go, let's go, let's go, little darlin'

They're dancin' and we belong here

Come on let's go, let's go-a

Again, again and again and again

Again, again and again and again

Again, again and again and again

Fades-

Again, again and again and again

Post #675: Aztec Camera - "Oblivious" - High Land, Hard Rain

Well, my dearest Blogland readers, I wanted to let you know that I will be leaving you for a little while.  I'm starting another blog... but don't worry, I'm not abandoning this one.  I will be posting to both blogs simultaneously.  I just need a bit of time to work on the other one... layouts, ideas for posts, and all that jazz!

I'm not ready to unveil any info about it just yet, but as soon as it's available, you'll be the first to know!!

Before I take my short leave of absence, I wanted to post this amazing song from Aztec Camera called "Oblivious"...

I'll be back before you know it... try not to miss me too much!! :-)

Until next time...

XOXOXO

From the mountain tops down to the sunny street 

A different drum is playing a different kind of beat

It's like a mystery that never ends

I see you crying and I want to kill your friends

I hear your footsteps in the street

It won't be long before we meet

It's obvious

Just count me in and count me out and

I'll be waiting for the shout

Oblivious

Met Mo and she's okay, said no one really changed

Got different badges but they wear them just the same

Down by the ballroom I recognized 

That flaming fountain in those kindered caring eyes. 

I hear your footsteps in the street

It won't be long before we meet

It's obvious

Just count me in and count me out and

I'll be waiting for the shout

Oblivious

I hope it haunts me 'til I'm hopeless

I hope it hits you when you go

And sometimes on the edge of sleeping

It rises up to let me know it's not so deep

I'm not so slow

They're calling all the shots 

They call and say they phoned

They'll call us lonely when we're really just alone

And like a funny film, it's kinda cute

They bought the bullets and there's no one left to shoot. 

I hear your footsteps in the street

It won't be long before we meet

It's obvious

Just count me in and count me out and

I'll be waiting for the shout

Oblivious...
