6-10 Jane Eyre quote

Woman in Love

Life is a moment in space
When the dream is gone
It’s a lonelier place
I kiss the morning goodbye
Down inside, you know we never know why
The road is narrow and long
When eyes meet eyes
And the feeling is strong
I turn away from the wall
I stumble and fall
But I give you it allI am a woman in love
And I’d do anything
To get you into my world
And hold you within
It’s a right I deserve
Over and over again
What do I do

With you eternally mine
In love there is no measure of time
We planned it all at the start
You and I live in each other’s heart
We may be oceans away
You’ll feel my love
I hear what you say
No truth is ever a lie
I stumble and fall
But I give you it all

I am a woman in love
And I’d do anything
To get you into my world
And hold you within
It’s a right I deserve
Over and over again
What do I do

I am a woman in love
And I’m talking to you
You know I know how you feel
What a woman can do
It’s a right I deserve
Over and over again

I am a woman in love
And I’d do anything
To get you into my world
And hold you within
It’s a right I deserve
Over and over again

Posted on October 5, 2014 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1919, Enzo #Ferrari raced for the first time.  Here are #FleetwoodMac with #TheChain from the BBC #F1 coverage.  #singing;#feelgood

5-10 Old Ferrari

The Chain

Listen to the wind blow
Watch the sun rise
Run in the shadows
Damn your love
Damn your lies
And if
You don’t love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break the chain.
List to the wind blow
Down comes the night
Run in the shadows
Damn your love
Damn your lies
Break the silence
Damn the dark
Damn the light
And if
You don’t love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break the chain.

October 2nd – Charles Darwin returns to England – “I will survive”

Posted on October 2, 2014 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1836, #CharlesDarwin returned to England to write about survival of the fittest.  Today #GloriaGaynor proves the idea is still current.  #singing;#feelgood

2-10 Darwinism

I will survive

First I was afraid, I was petrified
kept thinking I could never live without you
by my side
But then I spent so many nights
thinking in how you did me wrong
and I grew strong
and I learned how to get alongAnd so you’re back from outer space
I just walked in to find you here with that sad
look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I’d had known for just one second
you’d be back to bother me

Oh now go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
cause you’re not welcome anymore
Weren’t you the one who tried
to hurt me with goodbye?
Did you think I’d crumble?
Did you think I’d lay down and die?

Oh no not I
I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love
I know I’ll stay alive
I’ve got all my life to live
and I’ve got all my love to give
and I’ll survive, I will survive hey hey

It took all the strength I had
not to fall apart
Just trying hard to mend the pieces
of my broken heart

And I spent oh so many nights
just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
but now I hold my head up high
And you see in me, somebody new
I’m not that chained up little person
still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in
and just expect me to be free
but now I’m saving all my loving
for someone who’s loving me

Oh now go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
cause you’re not welcome anymore
Weren’t you the one who tried
to break me with goodbye?
Did you think I’d crumble?
Did you think I’d lay down and die?

Oh no not I
I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love
I know I’ll stay alive
I’ve got all my life to live
and I’ve got all my love to give
and I’ll survive
I will survive
hey, hey

2-10 Gloria Gaynor I will survive

October 1st – Music radio is predicted – “Radio”

Posted on October 1, 2014 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1920 #ScientificAmerican magazine predicted radio could be used to transmit music into our housed.  #RobbieWilliams sings about #radio 90 years later.  #singing;#feelgood

1-10 Old radio

Radio

Ouch

He’s chosen my attic
I feel it in the static
He lives in my basement
And I can hardly face it
My performance is easy
I am the god of romance
And in my confusion
I have the right to reign

He’s stolen my Oscars
He trades on my jokes
He makes all my engines go oh oh oh oh
He puts an “e” in the arsenal
A comb in my ‘fro
Devine retribution
And away we will go
Hey hey hey hey

Something’s happening I can feel it
Moving out of time you’ll hear it
Falling in the way you fear it
Jumping thumping shout out something
Jumping thumping shout out something

Listen to the radio
And you will hear the songs you know
Make it effervescent here
And you might have a job my dear
My dear

I’m searching for something
Beyond my understanding
Looking for meaning
Where nothing is demanding
There are no surprises
Where nothing is expected
If you offer nothing
Then everyone accepts

He’s stolen my Oscars
He trades on my jokes
He makes all my engines go oh oh oh oh
He puts an “e” in the arsenal
A comb in my ‘fro
Devine retribution
And away we will go
Hey hey hey hey

Something’s happening I can feel it
Moving out of time you’ll hear it
Falling in the way you fear it
Jumping thumping shout out something
Jumping thumping shout out something
Listen to the radio
And you will hear the songs you know
Make it effervescent here
And you might have a job my dear
My dear

Ouch
Ouch
Ouch
Radio
Ouch ouch
Ouch
Ouch
Radio

Something’s happening I can feel it
Moving out of time you’ll hear it
Falling in the way you fear it
Jumping thumping shout out something

Something’s happening I can feel it
Moving out of time you’ll hear it
Falling in the way you fear it
Jumping thumping shout out something

Listen to the radio
Listen to the radio
Listen to the radio
Listen to the radio
Listen to the radio
Listen to the radio
Listen to the radio

September 30th – James Dean killed – “James Dean”

Posted on September 30, 2014 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1955, #JamesDean was killed in a car crash.  Here the #Eagles sing their song of the same name  #singing;#feelgood

30-9 James Dean

James Dean

James Dean, James Dean
I know just what you mean
James Dean, you said it all so clean
And I know my life would look allright
If I could see it on the silver screenYou were the lowdown rebel if there ever was
Even if you had no cause
James Dean, you said it all so clean
And I know my life would look all right
If I could see it on the silver screen

We’ll talk about a low-down bad refrigerator,
You were just too cool for school
Sock hop, soda pop, basketball and auto shop,
The only thing that got you off was breakin’ all the rules
James Dean, James Dean
So hungry and so lean
James Dean, you said it all so clean
And I know my life would look all right
If I could see it on the silver screen

Little James Dean, up on the screen
Wond’rin’ who he might be
Along came a Spyder and picked up a rider
And took him down the road to eternity

James Dean, James Dean, you bought it sight unseen

You were too fast to live, too young to die, bye-bye
You were to fast to live, too young to die, bye-bye
Bye-bye, Bye-bye, Bye-bye, Bye, bye30-9 Eagles James Dean

In the Navy

Where can you find pleasure
Search the world for treasure
Learn science technology
Where can you begin to make your dreams all come true
On the land or on the sea
Where can you learn to fly
Play in sports and skin dive
Study oceanography
Sign up for the big band
Or sit in the grandstand
When your team and others meetIn the navy
Yes, you can sail the seven seas
In the navy
Yes, you can put your mind at ease
In the navy
Come on now, people, make a stand
In the navy, in the navy
Can’t you see we need a hand
In the navy
Come on, protect the mother land
In the navy
Come on and join your fellow man
In the navy
Come on people, and make a stand
In the navy, in the navy, in the navy (in the navy)

They want you, they want you
They want you as a new recruit

If you like adventure
Don’t you wait to enter
The recruiting office fast
Don’t you hesitate
There is no need to wait
They’re signing up new seamen fast
Maybe you are too young
To join up today
Bout don’t you worry ’bout a thing
For I’m sure there will be
Always a good navy
Protecting the land and sea

In the navy
Yes, you can sail the seven seas
In the navy
Yes, you can put your mind at ease
In the navy
Come on be bold and make a stand
In the navy, in the navy
Can’t you see we need a hand
In the navy
Come on, protect the motherland
In the navy
Come on and join your fellow man
In the navy
Come on be bold and make a stand
In the navy, in the navy, in the navy (in the navy)

They want you, they want you
They want you as a new recruit

Who me?

They want you, they want you
They want you as a new recruit

But, but, but, I’m afraid of water.
Hey, hey look
Man, I get seasick even watchin’ it on the TV!

They want you, they want you in the navy

Oh my goodness.
What am I gonna do in a submarine?

They want you, they want you in the navy

In the navy
Yes, you can sail the seven seas
In the navy
Yes, you can put your mind at ease
In the navy
Come on be bold and make a stand
In the navy, in the navy
Can’t you see we need a hand
In the navy
Come protect the motherland
In the navy
Come on and join your fellow man
In the navy
Come on be bold and make a stand

In #1066, #WilliamTheConqueror invaded Britain.  Here is a song called #Norman by a lady called #SueThompson, that I didn’t know, but whose title fits well with the theme.  Its jolly – but never destined to be a classic!   #singing;#feelgood

Norman

Norman , ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Norman, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Norman, Norman, my love

Jimmy called me on the phone but I was gone, not at home
Cuz I was out parked all alone with darlin? Norman
Bill invited me to a show but I said no, cannot go
There’s a dress that I’ve got to sew and wear for Norman

Norman holds me close to him, Norman kisses me and then
Norman knows my heart belongs to him and him and only him, oh

Norman, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ohh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Norman, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ohh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Norman, Norman, my love

Joey asked me for a date, he wanted to take me out to skate
But I told Joey he would have to make ?rangements with Norman

Norman is my only love, Norman’s all I’m thinking of
Norman gives me all his lovin?, kissin?, huggin?, lovey-dovin?

Norman, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Norman, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Norman, Norman, my love
