Baby Love

25-7 Cute baby

Ooh baby love, my baby love
I need you, oh how I need you
But all you do is treat me bad
Break my heart and leave me sad
Tell me, what did I do wrong
To make you stay away so long’Cause baby love, my baby love
Been missing ya, miss kissing ya
Instead of breaking up
Let’s do some kissing and making up
Don’t throw our love away
In my arms why don’t you stay
Need ya, need ya
Baby love, ooh, baby loveBaby love, my baby love
Why must we seperate, my love
All of my whole life through
I never loved no one but you
Why you do me like you do
I get this need

Ooh, ooh, need to hold you
Once again, my love
Feel your warm embrace, my love
Don’t throw our love away

Please don’t do me this way
Not happy like I used to be
Loneliness has got the best of me
My love, my baby love

I need you, oh how I need you
Why you do me like you do
After I’ve been true to you
So deep in love with you

Baby, baby, ooh ’til it’s hurtin’ me
‘Til it’s hurtin’ me
Ooh, baby love
Don’t throw our love away
Don’t throw our love away

July 24th – Machu Picchu discovered

In 1911, #MachuPicchu was discovered.  And in 1982, #EyeOfTheTiger was No.1 in the charts.  I don’t know if they have tigers in Peru – but there might be a link!  #singing;#feelgood

24-7 Machu Picchu

Eye of the tiger

Rising up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I’m back on my feet
Just a man and his will to surviveSo many times it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don’t lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them aliveIt’s the eye of the tiger
It’s the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he’s watching us all with the eye of the tiger

Face to face, out in the heat
Hanging tough, staying hungry
They stack the odds ’til we take to the street
For the kill with the skill to survive

It’s the eye of the tiger
It’s the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he’s watching us all with the eye of the tiger

Rising up, straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I’m not going to stop
Just a man and his will to survive

It’s the eye of the tiger
It’s the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he’s watching us all with the eye of the tiger

The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger

24-7 Survivor Eye of the Tiger

July 21st – Ernest Hemingway born – “For whom the bell tolls”

In 1899, #ErnestHemingway was born.  Here are the #BeeGees with For whom the bell tolls #singing;#feelgood

21-7 Church bell

For whom the bell tolls

I stumble in the night
Never really knew what it would’ve been like
You’re no longer there to break my fall
The heartache over you
I’d give it everything but I couldn’t live through
I never saw the signs
You’re the last to know when love is blindAll the tears and the turbulent years
When I would not wait for no-one
Didn’t stop and take a look at myself
And see me losing youCHORUS
When the lonely heart breaks
It’s the one that forsakes
It’s the dream that we stole
And I’m missing you more
Than the fire that will roar
There’s a hole in my soul
For you it’s good-bye
For me it’s to cry
For whom the bell tolls

Seen you in a magazine
A picture at a party where you shouldn’t have been
Hanging on the arm of someone else
I’m still in love with you
Won’t you come back to your little boy blue
I’ve come to feel inside
This precious love was never mine

Now I know but a little too late
That I could not live without you
In the dark or the broad daylight
I promise I’ll be there

CHORUS

Now I know there’ll be times like this
When I couldn’t reach out to no-one
Am I never gonna find someone
Who knows me like you do
Are you leaving me a helpless child
When it took so long to save me
Fight the devil and the deep blue sea
I’ll follow you anywhere
I promise I’ll be there

CHORUS

21-7 BeeGees For whom the bell tolls

July 20th – First man on the moon – “Walking on the moon”

In 1969, #NeilArmstrong was the first man to walk on the #moon.  Here are the #Police with their song on this subject. #singing;#feelgood

20-7 Man on the moon

Walking on the moon

Giant steps are what you take
Walking on the moon
I hope my legs don’t break
Walking on the moon
We could walk forever
Walking on the moon
We could live together
Walking on, walking on the moonWalking back from your house
Walking on the moon
Walking back from your house
Walking on the moon
Feet they hardly touch the ground
Walking on the moon
My feet don’t hardly make no sound
Walking on, walking on the moonSome may say
I’m wishing my days away
No way
And if it’s the price I pay
Some say
Tomorrow’s another day
You stay
I may as well playGiant steps are what you take
Walking on the moon
I hope my legs don’t break
Walking on the moon
We could walk forever
Walking on the moon
We could be together
Walking on, walking on the moon

Some may say
I’m wishing my days away
No way
And if it’s the price I pay
Some say
Tomorrow’s another day
You stay
I may as well play

Keep it up, keep it up [ad infinitum]

July 19th – Rosetta Stone dug up – “Rosetta”

In 1799, the #Rosetta stone was excavated.  Here is #GeorgieFame with Rosetta #singing;#feelgood

19-7 Rosetta stone

Rosetta

Well my little girl is a sweet little girlbut she does things make your eyebrows curl:
You let her loose on a Friday nightyou know it’s gonna end in a fight.
Rosetta drinks her whiskey neatshe gets in a fight and she might get beat:
So I go round on the Saturday night
and ask her if she feel allright.

Rosetta are you better
are you well
well
well
Rosetta are you better
are you well
well
well
well
well
well – well
well
well

When Friday comes she’s fine again
so we go to a club where we got friends:
Knocked on the door but we couldn’t get in

‘cos the boss don’t want no fuss.
So we went up town and drank around
and Rosie ended on the ground

So I took her home and I put her to bed

and you can guess what I said.

July 18th – Billy Joel – “It’s still rock and roll to me”

In 1980,#BillyJoel was number 1 in the UK and the USA with It’s still rock a roll to me #singing;#feelgood

18-7 Billy Joel

It’s still rock and roll to me

What’s the matter with the clothes I’m wearing?
“Can’t you tell that your tie’s too wide?”
Maybe I should buy some old tab collars?
“Welcome back to the age of jive.
Where have you been hidin’ out lately, honey?
You can’t dress trashy till you spend a lot of money.”
Everybody’s talkin’ ’bout the new sound
Funny, but it’s still rock and roll to meWhat’s the matter with the car I’m driving?
“Can’t you tell that it’s out of style?”
Should I get a set of white wall tires?
“Are you gonna cruise the miracle mile?
Nowadays you can’t be too sentimental
Your best bet’s a true baby blue Continental.”
Hot funk, cool punk, even if it’s old junk
It’s still rock and roll to meOh, it doesn’t matter what they say in the papers
‘Cause it’s always been the same old scene.
There’s a new band in town
But you can’t get the sound from a story in a magazine…
Aimed at your average teen

How about a pair of pink sidewinders
And a bright orange pair of pants?
“You could really be a Beau Brummel baby
If you just give it half a chance.
Don’t waste your money on a new set of speakers,
You get more mileage from a cheap pair of sneakers.”
Next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways
It’s still rock and roll to me

What’s the matter with the crowd I’m seeing?
“Don’t you know that they’re out of touch?”
Should I try to be a straight ‘A’ student?
“If you are then you think too much.
Don’t you know about the new fashion honey?
All you need are looks and a whole lotta money.”
It’s the next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways
It’s still rock and roll to me

Everybody’s talkin’ ’bout the new sound
Funny, but it’s still rock and roll to me

18-7 Billy Joel Its still rock and roll to me

July 16th – Worlds first parking meter – “Lovely Rita, meter maid”

In 1935, the world’s first #ParkingMeter was installed.  Here are the #Beatles with #LovelyRita, meter maid. #singing;#feelgood

16-7 Parking Meter

Lovely Rita, Meter Maid

Lovely Rita meter maid

Lovely Rita meter maid

Lovely Rita meter maid,
Nothing can come between us.
When it gets dark I tow your heart away.

Standing by a parking meter,
When I caught a glimpse of Rita,
Filling in a ticket in her little white book.
In a cap she looked much older,
And the bag across her shoulder
Made her look a little like a military man.

Lovely Rita meter maid,
May I inquire discreetly,
When are you free to take some tea with me?
(Rita!)

Took her out and tried to win her.
Had a laugh and over dinner,
Told her I would really like to see her again.
Got the bill and Rita paid it.
Took her home I nearly made it,
Sitting on the sofa with a sister or two.

Oh, lovely Rita meter maid,
Where would I be without you?
Give us a wink and make me think of you.

In 1986, #Madonna topped the UK charts with #PapaDon’tPreach #singing;#feelgood

Papa don’t preach

14-7 Madonna pic

Papa I know you’re going to be upset
‘Cause I was always your little girl
But you should know by now
I’m not a babyYou always taught me right from wrong
I need your help, daddy please be strong
I may be young at heart
But I know what I’m sayingThe one you warned me all about
The one you said I could do without
We’re in an awful mess, and I don’t mean maybe – please

[Chorus:]

Papa don’t preach, I’m in trouble deep
Papa don’t preach, I’ve been losing sleep
But I made up my mind, I’m keeping my baby, oh
I’m gonna keep my baby, mmm…

He says that he’s going to marry me
We can raise a little family
Maybe we’ll be all right
It’s a sacrifice

But my friends keep telling me to give it up
Saying I’m too young, I ought to live it up
What I need right now is some good advice, please

[chorus]

Daddy, daddy if you could only see
Just how good he’s been treating me
You’d give us your blessing right now
‘Cause we are in love, we are in love, so please

[chorus]

Papa don’t preach, I’m in trouble deep
Papa don’t preach, I’ve been losing sleep
[repeat]

Oh, I’m gonna keep my baby, ooh
Don’t you stop loving me daddy
I know, I’m keeping my baby
