Karma Chamelion

Is there loving in your eyes all the way.
If I listened to your lies would you say
I’m a man (a man) without conviction,
I’m a man (a man) who doesn’t know
how to sell (to sell) a contradiction.
You come and go, you come and go.Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon,
you come and go, you come and go.
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams,
red gold and green, red gold and green.Didn’t hear your wicked words every day
and you used to be so sweet, I heard you say
that my love (my love) was an addiction.
When we cling (we cling) our love is strong.
When you go (you go) you’re gone forever.
You string along, you string along.Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon,
you come and go, you come and go.
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams,
red gold and green, red gold and green.

Every day is like survival (sur-vi-val),
you’re my lover (you’re my lover), not my rival.
Every day is like survival (sur-vi-val),
you’re my lover (you’re my lover), not my rival.

I’m a man (a man) without conviction,
I’m a man (a man) who doesn’t know
how to sell (to sell) a contradiction.
You come and go, you come and go.

Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon,
you come and go, you come and go.
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams,
red gold and green, red gold and green.

Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon
You come and go….

June 13th – Kaiser Wilhelm meets Franz Ferdinand – “Viva la vida”

Posted on June 13, 2015 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1914, #KaizerWilhelm of Germany concluded his meeting with #FranzFerdinand. Here are #Coldplay with their great song #VivaLaVida that could be interpreted as thinking about these people. #singing;#feelgood

Viva la Vida

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to ownI used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy’s eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
“Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!”One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can’t explain
Once you go there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world

It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn’t believe what I’d become

Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh, who would ever wanna be king?

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can’t explain
I know Saint Peter won’t call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can’t explain
I know Saint Peter won’t call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

June 12th – The Wurzels – “I’ve got a brand new combine harvester”

Posted on June 12, 2015 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

Who needs the world cup!

In 1976, the #Wurzels released their UK No 1 hit, I’ve got a brand new combine harvester. Ooh arr, ooh arr”! #singing;#feelgood

I’ve got a brand new combine harvester

I drove my tractor through your haystack last night
I threw me pitch fork at your dog to keep quiet
Now something’s telling me that you’ve avoiding me,
Come on now darling,
You got something i need.(Chorus)

‘Cause I got a brand new combine harvester and I’ll give you the key
Come on now, let’s get together
In perfect harmony
I got 20 acres and you got 43
Now I got a brand new combine harvester and I’ll give you the key.

She might well laugh.

I’ll stick by you and give you all that you need
We’ll have twins and triplets
I’m a man built for speed
And you know I’ll love you darling
So give me your hand
Oh, the thing I want the most is all that acres of land.

(Chorus)

For seven long years I’ve been alone in this place
Pigs sleep in the kitchen
It’s a proper disgrace
Now if I cleaned it up, would you change your mind?
I’ll give up drinking Scrumpy
And that lager and lime.

Course.

Who loves you baby?

Weren’t we a grand couple at that last Wurzel dance?
I wore brand new gaiters and me corduroy pants
In your new Sunday dress
With your perfume smelling grand
We had our photos taken, us holding hands.

Now I got a brand new combine harvester and I’ll give you the key
Now that we’re both past our 50’s I think that you and me should stop this gallivanting
And will you marry me?
‘Cause I got a brand new combine harvester and I’ll give you the key.

Arr, you’re a fine looking woman
And I can’t wait to get me hands on your land.

You’re a fine looking woman.

Now you talk about your childhood wishes, you can even eat the dishesOh, who can take tomorrow, dip it in a dream

June 9th – Cole Porter born – “Anything goes”

Posted on June 9, 2015 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1891, #ColePorter was born. Here is one of his greats – “Anything goes” #singing;#feelgood

Anything Goes

Times have changed
And we’ve often rewound the clock
Since the Puritans got a shock
When they landed on Plymouth Rock.
If today
Any shock they should try to stem
‘Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock,
Plymouth Rock would land on them.In olden days, a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking.
But now, God knows,
Anything goes.
Good authors too who once knew better words
Now only use four-letter words
Writing prose.
Anything goes.
If driving fast cars you like,
If low bars you like,
If old hymns you like,
If bare limbs you like,
If Mae West you like,
Or me undressed you like,
Why, nobody will oppose.
When ev’ry night the set that’s smart is in-
Truding in nudist parties in
Studios.
Anything goes.When Missus Ned McLean (God bless her)
Can get Russian reds to “yes” her,
Then I suppose
Anything goes.
When Rockefeller still can hoard en-
Ough money to let Max Gordon
Produce his shows,
Anything goes.
The world has gone mad today
And good’s bad today,
And black’s white today,
And day’s night today,
And that gent today
You gave a cent today
Once had several chateaux.
When folks who still can ride in jitneys
Find out Vanderbilts and Whitneys
Lack baby clo’es,
Anything goes.

If Sam Goldwyn can with great conviction
Instruct Anna Sten in diction,
Then Anna shows
Anything goes.
When you hear that Lady Mendl standing up
Now turns a handspring landing up-
On her toes,
Anything goes.
Just think of those shocks you’ve got
And those knocks you’ve got
And those blues you’ve got
From that news you’ve got
And those pains you’ve got
(If any brains you’ve got)
From those little radios.
So Missus R., with all her trimmin’s,
Can broadcast a bed from Simmons
‘Cause Franklin knows

June 7th – First drive thru’ bank! – “Money, money, money”

Posted on June 7, 2015 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1962, the first drive through #bank in the world opened in #Switzerland. Money, Money,Money! #Abba. #singing;#feelgood

Money, money, money

I work all night, I work all day, to pay the bills I have to pay
Ain’t it sad
And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me
That’s too bad
In my dreams I have a plan
If I got me a wealthy man
I wouldn’t have to work at all, I’d fool around and have a ball…Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man’s world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man’s world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It’s a rich man’s worldA man like that is hard to find but I can’t get him off my mind
Ain’t it sad
And if he happens to be free I bet he wouldn’t fancy me
That’s too bad
So I must leave, I’ll have to go
To Las Vegas or Monaco
And win a fortune in a game, my life will never be the same…Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man’s world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man’s world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It’s a rich man’s world

Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man’s world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man’s world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It’s a rich man’s world

It’s a rich man’s world

June 5th – Cause of the Klondyke Gold Rush dies – “Gold”

Posted on June 5, 2015 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1922, the man who started the gold rush of 1896 dies. George Carmack discovered the gold in the #Klondyke River. Here is #Gold by #SpandauBallet #singing;#feelgood

Gold

Thank you for coming home
I’m sorry that the chairs are all worn
I left them here I could have sworn
These are my salad days
Slowly being eaten away
Just another play for today
Oh but I’m proud of you, but I’m proud of you
There’s nothing left to make me feel small
Luck has left me standing so tall
Gold
Always believe in your soul
You’ve got the power to know
You’re indestructible
Always believe in, because you are
Gold
Glad that you’re bound to return
There’s something I could have learned
You’re indestructible, always believe in
After the rush has gone
I hope you find a little more time
Remember we were partners in crime
It’s only two years ago
The man with the suit and the pace
You know that he was there on the case
Now he’s in love with you, he’s in love with you
Love is like a high prison wall
But you could leave me standing so tall
Gold
Always believe in your soul
You’ve got the power to know
You’re indestructible
Always believe in, because you are
Gold
Glad that you’re bound to return
There’s something I could have learned
You’re indestructible, always believe in
(Musical interlude)
For love is like a high prison wall
And you could leave me standing so tall
Gold
Always believe in your soul
You’ve got the power to know
You’re indestructible
Always believe in, because you are
Gold
Glad that you’re bound to return
There’s something I could’ve learned
You’re indestructible
Always believe in
