Please don’t tease

You tell me that you love me baby

You love me like a hurricane
Then you start to freeze
I’ll give it to you straight right now
Please don’t teaseYou come right out and tell me
You’re out with someone new
You play it oh, so doggone cool
I don’t know what to do
You never seem to answer me
You just don’t here my plea
I’ll give it to you one more time
Please don’t tease

Oh, please don’t tease me
You know it hurts so much
Come on and squeeze me
You know I need your tender touch

(But) You tell me that you love me baby
Then you say you don’t
You tell me that you’ll come on over
Then you say you won’t
You love me like a hurricane
Then you start to freeze
I’ll give it to you straight right now
Please don’t tease

Oh, please don’t tease me
You know it hurts so much
Come on and squeeze me
You know I need your tender touch

July 27th – First jet plane test flight – “When you’re a jet”

Posted on July 27, 2014 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1949 the first #Jet Plane made a test flight. Here is “When you’re a Jet” from #WestsideStory #singing;#feelgood

When you’re a Jet

When you’re a Jet,
You’re a Jet all the way
From your first cigarette
To your last dyin’ day.When you’re a Jet,
If the spit hits the fan,
You got brothers around,
You’re a family man!

You’re never alone,
You’re never disconnected!
You’re home with your own:
When company’s expected,
You’re well protected!

Then you are set
With a capital J,
Which you’ll never forget
Till they cart you away.
When you’re a Jet,
You stay a Jet!

(Spoken) I know Tony like I know me. I guarantee you can count him in.

ACTION: In, out, let’s get crackin’.

A-RAB: Where you gonna find Bernardo?

RIFF: At the dance tonight at the gym.

BIG DEAL: But the gym’s neutral territory.

RIFF: (Innocently) I’m gonna make nice there! I’m only gonna challenge him.

A-RAB: Great, Daddy-O!

RIFF: So everybody dress up sweet and sharp.

ALL (Sing)
Oh, when the Jets fall in at the cornball dance,
We’ll be the sweetest dressin’ gang in pants!
And when the chicks dig us in our Jet black ties,
They’re gonna flip, gonna flop, gonna drop like flies!

RIFF: (Spoken) Hey. Cool. Easy. Sweet. Meet Tony and me at ten. And walk tall!

A-RAB: We always walk tall!

BABY JOHN: We’re Jets!

ACTION: The greatest!

ACTION and BABY JOHN (Sing)
When you’re a Jet,
You’re the top cat in town,
You’re the gold medal kid
With the heavyweight crown!

A-RAB, ACTION, BIG DEAL
When you’re a Jet,
You’re the swingin’est thing:
Little boy, you’re a man;
Little man, you’re a king!

ALL
The Jets are in gear,
Our cylinders are clickin’!
The Sharks’ll steer clear
‘Cause ev’ry Puerto Rican’s a lousy chicken!

Here come the Jets
Like a bat out of hell.
Someone gets in our way,
Someone don’t feel so well!

Here come the Jets:
Little world, step aside!
Better go underground,
Better run, better hide!

We’re drawin’ the line,
So keep your noses hidden!
We’re hangin’ a sign,
Says “Visitors forbidden”
And we ain’t kiddin’!

Here come the Jets,
Yeah! And we’re gonna beat
Ev’ry last buggin’ gang
On the whole buggin’ street!
On the whole!
Ever!
Mother!
Lovin’!
Street!
Yeah!

July 26th – Mick Jagger born – “It’s only rock and roll”

Posted on July 26, 2014 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1943 #MickJagger was born and in 1974 graffiti artists were paid to spray sites in London to promote the #RollingStones new single #singing;#feelgood

It’s only rock and roll

If I could stick my pen in my heart
And spill it all over the stage
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya
Would you think the boy is strange? Ain’t he strange?If I could win ya, if I could sing ya
A love song so divine
Would it be enough for your cheating heart
If I broke down and cried? If I cried?

I said I know it’s only rock ‘n roll but I like it
I know it’s only rock ‘n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do
Oh, well, I like it, I like it, I like it
I said can’t you see that this old boy has been a lonely?

If I could stick a knife in my heart
Suicide right on the stage
Would it be enough for your teenage lust
Would it help to ease the pain? Ease your brain?

If I could dig down deep down in my heart
Feelings would flood on the page
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya
Would ya think the boy’s insane? He’s insane

I said I know it’s only rock ‘n roll but I like it
I said I know it’s only rock ‘n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do
Oh, well, I like it, yeah, I like it, I like it
I said can’t you see that this old boy has been a lonely?

And do ya think that you’re the only girl around?
I bet you think you’re the only woman in town
Oh, yeah

I said I know it’s only rock ‘n roll but I like it
I said I know it’s only rock ‘n roll but I like it
Oh, I know it’s only rock ‘n roll but I like it, oh yeah
I know it’s only rock ‘n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do
Oh, well, I like it, I like it, ah, I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it
(Only rock ‘n roll but) I like it…

Baby Love

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 love

Baby 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

Posted on July 24, 2014 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

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

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 alive

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

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

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

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

July 23rd – Frank Sinatra – “Strangers in the night”

Posted on July 23, 2014 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1966, #FrankSinatra went to No.1 with his most successful LP ever, #StrangersInTheNight.#singing#feelgood

Strangers in the night

Strangers in the night exchanging glances
Wond’ring in the night what were the chances
We’d be sharing love before the night was throughSomething in your eyes was so inviting
Something in you smile was so exciting
Something in my heart told me I must have youStrangers in the night
Two lonely people, we were strangers in the night
Up to the moment when we said our first hello little did we know
Love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance away

and

Ever since that night we’ve been together
Lovers at first sight, in love forever
It turned out so right for strangers in the night

[instrumental-first three lines of chorus]
Love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance away

Ever since that night we’ve been together
Lovers at first sight, in love forever
It turned out so right for strangers in the night

[Dooby-doooby-doo and other scat to end]

July 22nd – Cat Stevens – “Morning has Broken”

Posted on July 22, 2014 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1947, #CatStevens who later sang “Morning has broken” was born #singing;#feelgood

Morning has broken

Morning has broken, like the first morning.
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird.
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning,
Praise for them springing fresh from the Word.Sweet the rain’s new fall, sunlight from heaven.
Like the first dewfall, on the first grass.
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden,
Sprung in completeness where His feet pass.

Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning.
Born of the one light Eden saw play.
Praise with elation, praise every morning;
God’s recreation of the new day.

Morning has broken, like the first morning.
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird.
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning,
Praise for them springing fresh from the Word.

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

Posted on July 21, 2014 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

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

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 you

CHORUS
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

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

Posted on July 20, 2014 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

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

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 play

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 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”

Posted on July 19, 2014 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

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

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 neat

she 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.
