In 1965, The #Hollies were at No.1 with “I’m alive” #singing;#feelgood

I’m Alive

Did you ever see a man with no heart
Baby, that was me
Just a lonely, lonely man with no heart
‘Til you set me freeNow I can breathe, I can see, I can touch, I can feel
I can taste all the sugar sweetness in your kiss
You give me all the things I’ve ever missed
I’ve never felt like this
I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m aliveI used to think I was livin’
Baby, I was wrong
No I never knew a thing about livin’
‘Til you came along

Now I can breathe, I can see, I can touch, I can feel
I can taste all the sugar sweetness in your kiss
You give me all the things I’ve ever missed
I’ve never felt like this
I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive

[Break]

Now I can breathe, I can see, I can touch, I can feel
I can taste all the sugar sweetness in your kiss
You give me all the love I’ve ever missed
I’ve never felt like this
I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive

June 23rd – 10CC – “Rubber Bullets”

Posted on June 23, 2015 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1973, #10CC had a number 1 hit with #Rubber Bullets #singing;#feelgood

Rubber Bullets

I went to a party at the local county jail
All the cons were dancing and the band began to wail
But the guys were indiscreet
They were brawling in the street
At the local dance at the local county jailWell the band were playing
And the booze began to flow
But the sound came over on the police car radio
Down at Precinct 49
Having a tear-gas of a time
Sergeant Baker got a call from the governor of the county jailLoad up, load up, load up with rubber bullets
Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets

I love to hear those convicts squeal
It’s a shame these slugs ain’t real
But we can’t have dancin’ at the local county jail

Sergeant Baker and his men made a bee-line for the jail
And for miles around
You could hear the sirens wail
There’s a rumor goin’ round death row
That a fuse is gonna blow
At the local hop at the local county jail

Whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna do

Sergeant Baker started talkin’
With a bullhorn in his hand
He was cool, he was clear
He was always in command
He said “Blood will flow;
Here Padre
Padre you talk to your boys…”
“Trust in me –
God will come to set you free”

Well we don’t understand
Why you called in the National Guard
When Uncle Sam is the one
Who belongs in the exercise yard
We all got balls and brains
But some’s got balls and chains
At the local dance at the local county jail

Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets
Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets

Is it really such a crime
For a guy to spend his time
At the local dance at the local county jail
At the local dance at the local county jail

Whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna do

June 22nd – Dan Brown born – “Somewhere over the rainbow”

Posted on June 22, 2015 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1962, #DanBrown author of the #DaVinciCode was born. In 1969 #JudyGarland died. Somewhere over the Rainbow could be said to relate to them both! #singing;#feelgood

Somewhere over the rainbow

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby ii ii iii
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true ooh ooooh
Someday I’ll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me ee ee eeh
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops that’s where you’ll find me oh
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to,Oh why, oh why can’t I?Well I see trees of green and
Red roses too,
I’ll watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful worldWell I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white
And the brightness of day
I like the dark and I think to myself
What a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, “How do you do?”
They’re really saying, I…I love you
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
They’ll learn much more
Than we’ll know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world world

Someday I’ll wish upon a star,
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top that’s where you’ll find me
Oh, Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dream that you dare to, why, oh why can’t I?

June 21st – Bob Dylan – “Mr Tambourine Man”

Posted on June 21, 2015 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1962, #BobDylan released #MrTambourineMan #singing;#feelgood

Mr Tambourine Man

Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I’m not sleepy and there is no place I’m going to
Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I’ll come followin’ you.
Though I know that evenin’s empire has returned into sand
Vanished from my hand
Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping
My weariness amazes me, I’m branded on my feet
I have no one to meet
And the ancient empty street’s too dead for dreaming.Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I’m not sleepy and there is no place I’m going to
Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I’ll come followin’ you.Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin’ ship
My senses have been stripped, my hands can’t feel to grip
My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels
To be wanderin’
I’m ready to go anywhere, I’m ready for to fade
Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way
I promise to go under it.

Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I’m not sleepy and there is no place I’m going to
Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I’ll come followin’ you.

Though you might hear laughin’, spinnin’ swingin’ madly across the sun
It’s not aimed at anyone, it’s just escapin’ on the run
And but for the sky there are no fences facin’
And if you hear vague traces of skippin’ reels of rhyme
To your tambourine in time, it’s just a ragged clown behind
I wouldn’t pay it any mind, it’s just a shadow you’re
Seein’ that he’s chasing.

Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I’m not sleepy and there is no place I’m going to
Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I’ll come followin’ you.

Then take me disappearin’ through the smoke rings of my mind
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves
The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.

Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I’m not sleepy and there is no place I’m going to
Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I’ll come followin’ you.

I like it

I like it, I like it
I like the way you run your fingers through my hair
And I like the way you tickle my chin
And I like the way you let me come in
When your mama ain’t thereI like it, I like it
I like the words you say and all the things you do
And I like the way you straighten my tie
And I like the way you’re winkin’ your eye
And I know I like you
You know I like youDo that again
You’re driving me insane
Kiss me once more
That’s another thing I like you for

I like it, I like it
I like the funny feeling being here with you
And I like it more with every day
And I like it always hearing you say
You’re likin’ it too
You’re likin’ it too

I’m askin’ you
What do you wanna do
Do you agree
That the world was made for you and me

I like it, I like it
I like the funny feeling being here with you
And I like it more with every day
And I like it always hearing you say
You’re likin’ it too
You’re likin’ it too
Whoa-oh, I like it
Are you likin’ it too

Posted on June 19, 2015 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1968, the #RollingStones had their seventh UK number 1 with Jumpin’ Jack Flash #singing;#feelgood

Jumpin’ Jack Flash

I was born in a cross-fire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain,
But it’s all right now, in fact, it’s a gas!
But it’s all right. Im jumpin jack flash,
Its a gas! gas! gas!I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag,
I was schooled with a strap right across my back,
But it’s all right now, in fact, it’s a gas!
But it’s all right, Im jumpin jack flash,
Its a gas! gas! gas!I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead.
I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled.
I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I was crowned with a spike right thru my head.
But it’s all right now, in fact, it’s a gas!
But it’s all right, Im jumpin jack flash,
Its a gas! gas! gas!

Jumping jack flash, it’s a gas
Jumping jack flash, it’s a gas
Jumping jack flash, it’s a gas
Jumping jack flash, it’s a gas
Jumping jack flash

Posted on June 18, 2015 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1815, #Napoleon was defeated at #Waterloo. Here is #Abba singing their version #singing;#feelgood

Waterloo

My my
At Waterloo Napoleon did surrender
Oh yeah
And I have met my destiny in quite a similar way
The history book on the shelf
Is always repeating itself
Waterloo – I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo – Promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo – Couldn’t escape if I wanted to
Waterloo – Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo – Finally facing my Waterloo

My my
I tried to hold you back, but you were stronger
Oh yeah
And now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight
And how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose
Waterloo – I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo – Promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo – Couldn’t escape if I wanted to
Waterloo – Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo – Finally facing my Waterloo

So how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose
Waterloo – I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo – Promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo – Couldn’t escape if I wanted to
Waterloo – Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo – Finally facing my Waterloo

June 17th – Statue of Liberty arrives in US – “You’re the one that I want”

Posted on June 17, 2015 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1885, the #StatueOfLiberty arrived in the US. In 1978 “You’re the one that I want” from #Grease was No.1. And the statue is the one the American people want! #singing;#feelgood

You’re the one that I want

I got chills
They’re multiplying
And I’m losing control
‘Cause the power you’re supplying
It’s electrifying!You better shape up
‘Cause I need a man
And my heart is set on you
You better shape up
You better understand
To my heart I must be true
Nothing left
Nothing left for me to doYou’re the one that I want
Oo-oo-oo, honey
The one that I want
Oo-oo-oo, honey
The one that I want
Oo-oo-oo, the one I need
Oh, yes indeed

If you’re filled
With affection
You’re to shy to convey
Better take my direction
Feel your way

I better shape up
‘Cause you need a man
I need a man
Who can keep me satisfied
I better shape up
If I’m gonna prove
You better prove
That my faith is justified
Are you sure
Yes I’m sure down deep inside

You’re the one that I want
Oo-oo-oo, honey
The one that I want
Oo-oo-oo, honey
The one that I want
Oo-oo-oo, the one I need
Oh, yes indeed

June 16th – First rollercoaster opened on Coney Island- “Like a rolling stone”

Posted on June 16, 2015 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1884, the first #rollercoaster opened on Coney Island in the USA. Here #Bob Dylan keeps us in a rolling mood with #Like a rolling stone. #singing;#feelgood

Like a rolling stone

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn’t you ?
People’d call, say, “Beware doll, you’re bound to fall”
You thought they were all kiddin’ you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin’ out
Now you don’t talk so loud
Now you don’t seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal.How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone ?You’ve gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
And now you find out you’re gonna have to get used to it
You said you’d never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but know you realize
He’s not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And say do you want to make a deal?How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone ?
You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns
When they all come down and did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain’t no good
You shouldn’t let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Ain’t it hard when you discover that
He really wasn’t where it’s at
After he took from you everything he could steal.

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone ?

Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They’re drinkin’, thinkin’ that they got it made
Exchanging all precious gifts
But you’d better take your diamond ring, you’d better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls you, you can’t refuse
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You’re invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone ?

June 15th – The first TV pop show, “Oh Boy” broadcast- “Teenager in Love”

Posted on June 15, 2015 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1958, the first teenage all-music show in the UK, “Oh Boy” was first broadcast. One act was #Marty Wilde; “Teenager in Love” followed the next year #singing;#feelgood

Teenager in Love

Each time we have a quarrel
It almost breaks my heart
‘Cos I am so afraid
That we will have to part
Each night I ask the stars
The stars up above
Why must I be a teenager in love
One day I feel so happy
Next day I feel so sad
I guess I’ll learn to take
The good with the bad
Each night I ask the stars up above
(I ask them why)
Why must I be a teenage in love
I cried a tear (I cried a tear)
For nobody but you (Nobody but you)
I’ll be the lonely one if you should say we’re through
Well if you want to make me cry
That won’t be so hard to do
And if you should say goodbye
I’ll still go on loving you
Each night I ask the stars up above
Why must I be a teenager in love
I cried a tear (I cried a tear)
For nobody but you (For nobody but you)
I’ll be the lonely one if you should say we’re through
Yeah
Well if you want to make me cry
That won’t be so hard to do
And if you should say goodbye
I’ll still go on loving you
Each night I ask the stars up above
Why must I be a teenager in love
Why must I be a teenager in love
