Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don't need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
You're asking me will my love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around, now it may show
I don't know, I don't know
Something in the way she knows
And all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

She ain't got no money
Her clothes are kinda funny
Her hair is kinda wild and free
Oh, but love grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me

She talks kinda lazy
And people say she she's crazy
And her life's a mystery
Oh, but love grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me

There's something about her hand holding mine
It's a feeling that's fine
And I just gotta say
She's really got a magical spell
And it's working so well
That I can't get away

I'm a lucky fella
And I've just got to tell her
That I love her endlessly
Because love grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me

I've got the money, I've got the place
You've got the figure, you've got the face
Let's get together, the two of us over a glass of champagne
I've got the music, I've got the lights
You've got the figure full of delights
Let's get together, the two of us over a glass of champagne
Now, I've been waiting much too long
For this moment to come along
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah!
(A little glass of champagne)

(Eyes, hair, mouth, figure
Dress, voice, style, movement
Hands, magic, rings, glamour
Face, diamonds, excitement, image)
I came from the people, they need to adore me
So Christian Dior me from my head to my toes
I need to be dazzling, I want to be Rainbow High
They must have excitement, and so must I

(Eyes, hair, mouth, figure
Dress, voice, style, image)
I'm their product, it's vital you sell me
So Machiavell me, make an Argentine Rose
I need to be thrilling, I want to be Rainbow High
They need their escape, and so do I

[Chorus]
Highfly, touch the sky
Whatcha gonna do now the well's dry?
Good time, feeling fine
Whatcha gonna do now there's no wine?

[Verse 1]
For many years
You played the joker and you always won
You wasted time
Always fooling 'round and having fun
Your luck ran out
Just like the sunshine when the day is done
Your dream subsided
When you decided that your chance had gone
Your chance to be someone

[Chorus]
Highfly, touch the sky
Whatcha gonna do now the well's dry?
Good time, feeling fine
Whatcha gonna do now there's no wine?

I must've been through about a million girls
I'd love 'em and I'd leave 'em alone
I didn't care how much they cried, no sir
Their tears left me cold as a stone

But then I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love
Fooled around and fell in love

Oh well I'm the type of guy who will never settle down
Where pretty girls are well, you know that I'm around
I kiss 'em and I love 'em 'cause to me they're all the same
I hug 'em and I squeeze 'em they don't even know my name
They call me the wanderer, yeah the wanderer
I roam around around around

Oh well there's Flo on my left and there's Mary on my right
And Janie is the girl with that I'll be with tonight
And when she asks me which one I love the best
I tear open my shirt I got Rosie on my chest
'Cause I'm the wanderer yeah the wanderer
I roam around around around

Oh well I roam from town to town
I go through life without a care
'Til I'm as happy as a clown
With my two fists of iron and I'm going nowhere

Never had a woman
Never had a woman like you
Doin' all the things
Doin' all the things you do
Ain't no fairy story
Ain't no skin and bones
But you give it all you got
Weighin' in at nineteen stone
You're a whole lotta woman
A whole lotta woman
Whole lotta Rosie
Whole lotta Rosie
Whole lotta Rosie
And you're a whole lotta woman

I'm lookin' for a hard-headed woman
One who'll take me for myself
And if I find my hard-headed woman
I won't need nobody else, no, no, no
I'm lookin' for a hard-headed woman (hard-headed woman)
One who'll make me do my best
And if I find my hard-headed woman
I know the rest of my life will be blessed

I have a magic story about Cat Stevens. ^

Before I go let me kiss you
And wipe the tears from your eyes
I don't wanna hurt you, girl
You know I could never lie
I keep telling you hard luck woman
You ain't a hard luck woman
You'll be a hard luck woman
Baby, 'til you find your man

Rags, the sailor's only daughter
A child of the water
Too proud to be a queen
Rags, I really love you
I can't forget about you
You'll be a hard luck woman
Baby, 'til you find your man

^Is it a story that you can share?

Honey honey, how you thrill me, a-ha, honey honey
Honey honey, nearly kill me, a-ha, honey honey
I'd heard about you before
I wanted to know some more
And now I know what they mean, you're a love machine
Oh, you make me dizzy

Honey honey, let me feel it, a-ha, honey honey
Honey honey, don't conceal it, a-ha, honey honey
The way that you kiss goodnight
(The way that you kiss me goodnight)
The way that you hold me tight
(The way that you're holding me tight)
I feel like I wanna sing when you do your thing

I don't wanna hurt you, baby
I don't wanna see you cry
So stay on the ground, girl
You better not get too high
But I'm gonna stick to you, boy
You'll never get rid of me
There's no other place in this world where I rather would be

Morning Has Broken is the first song I remember hearing as a child, playing in the clover in our garden.
I was about four.
My dad called me in for lunch.
It always reminded me of him.

Fast forward to about five years ago.
My dad is long deceased.
I ordered his favourite vintage Elvis Christmas album from EBay.
It arrived with a 45 of Morning Has Broken inside the record sleeve along with Elvis.

I was so shocked I messaged the EBay person to thank them for the added record.
They said they didn't put it in there on purpose.
They didn't even know they owned that 45.









I can see through mountains watch me disappear
I can even touch the sky
Swallowing colors of the sound I hear
Am I just a crazy guy - you bet
Mama's gonna worry
I've been a bad, bad boy
No use sayin' sorry
It's somethin' that I enjoy

If you could be inside my head
You'd see that black and white is red
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again, come on and join me
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again, come on and join me

I'm down, here we go now
I'm down, I'm down, here we go now
Daddy thinks I'm lazy he don't understand
Never saw inside my head
People think I'm crazy but I'm in demand
Never heard a thing I said
Mama's gonna worry
I've been a bad, bad boy
No use sayin' sorry
It's somethin' that I enjoy
Flying high again

^What a weird (but special) coincidence!


You live your life in the songs you hear
On the rock n' roll radio
And when a young girl doesn't have any friends
That's a really nice place to go
Folks hoping you'd turn out cool
But they had to take you out of school
You're a little touched, you know, Angie baby

Lovers appear in your room each night
And they whirl you across the floor
But they always seem to fade away
When your daddy taps on your door
Angie girl, are you alright?
Tell the radio goodnight
All alone once more, Angie baby

Angie baby, you're a special lady
Living in a world of make believe
Well, maybe

Stopping at her house is a neighbor boy
With evil on his mind
'Cause he's been peeking in Angie's room
At the night through her window blind
I see your folks have gone away
Would you dance with me today?
I'll show you how to have a good time, Angie baby
(Angie baby, Angie baby)

When he walks in her room he feels confused
Like he walked into a play
And the music's so loud it spins him around
'Til his soul has lost its way
And as she turns the volume down
He's getting smaller with the sound
It seems to pull him off the ground
Toward the radio he's bound
Never to be found

The headlines read that a boy disappeared
And everyone thinks he died
'Cept a crazy girl with a secret lover
Who keeps her satisfied
It's so nice to be insane
No one asks you to explain
Radio by your side, Angie baby

Angie baby, you're a special lady
Living in a world of make believe
Well, maybe
Well, maybe (Angie baby, Angie baby)
Well, maybe (Angie baby, Angie baby)
(Angie baby, Angie baby)
(Angie baby, Angie baby)

I love Helen Reddy.

Check out this reaction:

Angie, you're beautiful, yeah
But ain't it time we said goodbye?
Angie, I still love you
Remember all those nights we cried?
All the dreams were held so close
Seemed to all go up in smoke
Let me whisper in your ear
Angie, Angie
Where will it lead us from here
Oh, Angie, don't you weep
Oh, your kisses still taste sweet
I hate that sadness in your eyes
But Angie, Angie
Ain't it time we said goodbye? Yeah
With no lovin' in our souls
And no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied
Angie, I still love you, baby
Everywhere I look, I see your eyes
There ain't a woman that comes close to you
Come on, baby, dry your eyes
Angie, Angie
Ain't it good to be alive?
Angie, Angie
They can't say we never tried

^ Nice review!
I remember when "I Am Woman" was released. I was a young teenager and heard it played on the radio a lot. My mother was NOT a fan- she was an anti-feminist stay-at-home mother (although she's mellowed a lot in the years since!)


Shandi, tonight must last us forever
Forever we say good night and go home
But you know me very well and I know you
You can't tell me good night (say good night)
We been holding on so tight, we're afraid to let it go
Shake it loose, we both could use the ride
Here's another mess I got myself in
And when you touch me you ain't helpin'
Shandi, tonight must last us forever
Forever we say good night and go home
But you know me very well and I know you
You can't tell me good night (say good night)
Say good night when we should say good bye, oh yeah
Shandi, tonight must last us forever and ever
Forever we say good night and go home
Shandi, Shandi, tonight must last us forever

Sorry Jenny I keep forgetting to post here!

That's cute about your mum!

Stay away from my window
Stay away from my back door too
Disconnect the telephone line
Relax baby and draw that blind
Kick off your shoes and sit right down
Loosen off that pretty french gown
Let me pour you a good long drink
Ooh baby, don't you hesitate 'cause
Tonight's the night
It's gonna be alright
'Cause I love you girl
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now

(Link word - Tonight)
