That loving feeling

When everything just feels natural. When you can sense what the other person is feeling and you both feel comfortable about it. When it all just feels right. I thought I had known love before but I was wrong... now I know what love can really be and I love my man. Loving some one is about accepting each other as we are, not wanting to change them or yourself to please them. always said i would know where to find love, always thought i'd be ready and strong enough, but some times i just felt i could give up. but you came and changed my whole world now, i'm somewhere i've never been before. now i see, what love means. it's so unbelievable, and i don't want to let it go, something so beautiful, flowing down like a waterfall. i feel like you've always been, forever a part of me. and it's so unbelievable to finally be in love, somewhere i'd never thought i'd be. in my heart, in my head, it's so clear now, hold my hand you've got nothing to fear now, i was lost and you've rescued me some how-. i'm alive, i'm in love you complete me, and i've never been here before. now i see, what love means.

In the arms of an Angel

Spend all your time waiting for that second chance for a break that would make it okay there's always one reason to feel not good enough and it's hard at the end of the day I need some distraction oh beautiful release memory seeps from my veins let me be empty and weightless and maybe I'll find some peace tonight in the arms of an angel fly away from here from this dark cold hotel room and the endlessness that you fear you are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie you're in the arms of the angel may you find some comfort there so tired of the straight line and everywhere you turn there's vultures and thieves at your back and the storm keeps on twisting you keep on building the lie that you make up for all that you lack it don't make no difference escaping one last time it's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees in the arms of an angel fly away from here from this dark cold hotel room and the endlessness that you fear you are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie you're in the arms of the angel may you find some comfort there you're in the arms of the angel may you find some comfort here

Stateless

3 August 2007 Update on visa application. I asked for a holiday visa... Denied because I can not prove my commitment to return to the UK! Even though it is only 8 months till I get my Uk passport. And I have a son that goes to school here. Not quite sure what to do next. In this proud land we grew up strong we were wanted all along I was taught to fight, taught to win I never thought I could fail no fight left or so it seems I am a man whose dreams have all deserted I've changed my face, I've changed my name but no one wants you when you lose don't give up 'cos you have friends don't give up you're not beaten yet don't give up I know you can make it good though I saw it all around never thought I could be affected thought that we'd be the last to go it is so strange the way things turn drove the night toward my home the place that I was born, on the lakeside as daylight broke, I saw the earth the trees had burned down to the ground don't give up you still have us don't give up we don't need much of anything don't give up 'cause somewhere there's a place where we belong rest your head you worry too much it's going to be alright when times get rough you can fall back on us don't give up please don't give up 'got to walk out of here I can't take anymore going to stand on that bridge keep my eyes down below whatever may come and whatever may go that river's flowing that river's flowing moved on to another town tried hard to settle down for every job, so many men so many men no-one needs don't give up 'cause you have friends don't give up you're not the only one don't give up no reason to be ashamed don't give up you still have us don't give up now we're proud of who you are don't give up you know it's never been easy don't give up 'cause I believe there's the a place there's a place where we belong

The bare necessities of life will come to you

Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature's recipes
That brings the bare necessities of life

Wherever I wander, wherever I roam
I couldn't be fonder of my big home
The bees are buzzin' in the tree
To make some honey just for me
When you look under the rocks and plants
And take a glance at the fancy ants
Then maybe try a few

The bare necessities of life will come to you
They'll come to you!

Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
That's why a bear can rest at ease
With just the bare necessities of life

Now when you pick a pawpaw
Or a prickly pear
And you prick a raw paw
Next time beware
Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw
When you pick a pear
Try to use the claw
But you don't need to use the claw
When you pick a pear of the big pawpaw
Have I given you a clue ?

The bare necessities of life will come to you
They'll come to you!

So just try and relax, yeah cool it
Fall apart in my backyard
'Cause let me tell you something little britches
If you act like that bee acts, uh uh
You're working too hard

And don't spend your time lookin' around
For something you want that can't be found
When you find out you can live without it
And go along not thinkin' about it
I'll tell you something true

The bare necessities of life will come to you

Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature's recipes
With just the bare necessities of life

I am what I am

Singer DAME SHIRLEY BASSEY narrowly escaped death 24/06/07 when the helicopter carrying her home from the Glastonbury Festival was forced to make a terrifying emergency landing in high winds.
The chopper carrying Shirley back to London from the event in the south west of England suffered a suspected mechanical failure and almost hit treetops and telephone cables as it was buffered by heavy rain and strong winds.
The pilot said after landing, "That was terrifying. I was losing power and the mist was so thick I couldn't see where I was going. I've got a special passenger. We had an almighty let off. Thank God." The shaken star, 70, said after climbing out of the helicopter, "Thank God.
What a horrid ordeal. I'm so glad we somehow made it down safe," before asking locals who had gathered at the scene, "So sorry to have bothered you. May I please use someone's toilet? And a cup of tea would go down a treat."
One truely amazing woman one would hardly believe she is already 70..


My Favourite Shirley Bassey Song

I am what I am
I am my own special creation
So come take a look
Give me the hook or the ovation
It's my world that I want to have a little pride in
My world and it's not a place I have to hide in
Life's not worth a damn till you can say
Hey world I am what I am
I am what I am
I don't want praise
I don't want pity
I bang my own drum
Some think it's noise
I think it's pretty
And so what if I love each feather and each spangle
Why not try and see things from a different angle
Your life is a sham till you can say
Hey world I am what I am

I am what I am
And what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck
Sometimes the ace
Sometimes the deuces
It's my life and there's no return and no deposit
One life, so it's time to open up your closet
Life's not worth a damn till you can say
Hey world I am what I am.

I feel that your gone and I'm alone

Silence"

I sit in agony, my eyes to blind to see
The truth that's infront of me
White lines pass me by, I'm racing for the sky
Will you meet me there

~Chorus~

I heard your words today, but it's not what you said
Your silence gives away your true feelings for me
I've heard your lies before when I walk through your door
you said you'd always be right next to me

The nights I held you close, may never come again
But I still long to be your closest friend
This spell you had on me, seems it will never break
Do you know how much you torture me

Chorus:

I feel that your gone and I'm alone
I feel the emptiness inside of me
All I wanted was to be your love
Instead you cast me away from your eyes
your eyes
your eyes

butterfly kisses

There's two things I know for sure
She was sent here from Heaven
And she's daddys little girl
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night
She talks to Jesus and I close my eyes
And I thank God for all of the joy in my life
Oh but most of all

For butterlfy kisses after bedtime prayer
Stickin little white flowers all up in her hair
Walk beside the pony dady
It's my first ride
I know the cake looks funny daddy
But i sure tried
Oh with all that I've done wrong
I must have done something right
TO deseve a hug every mornin
And butterfly kisses at night

Sweet 16 today
She's lookin like her mama
A little more every day
One part woman
The other part girl
To perfume and mke up
From ribbons and curls
Trying her wongs out in a great big world
But I remember

Butterlfy kisses after bedtime prayer
Stickin little white flowers all up in her hair
You know how much I love you dady
But if you don't mind
I'm only gonna kiss you on the check this time
Oh with all that I've done wrong
I muct have done something right
To deserve her love every mornin
And butterfly kisses at night

All the precious time
Like the wind the years go by
Precious Butterfly
Spread yuor wings and fly

She'll change her name today
She'll make a promise and I'll give her aways
Standing in the bride room just starin at her
She asked me what I'm thinkin
And I said I'm not sure
I just feel like I'm loosin my baby girl
And she leaned over

And gave me butterfly kisses with her mama there
Stickin little white flowers all up in her hair
Walk me down the isle daddy
It's just about time
Does my wedding gown look pretty daddy?
Daddys don't cry
Oh with all that I've done wrong
I must have done something right
To deserve her love every mornin and butterfly kisses
I couldn't ask GOd for more than this is what love is
I know I've got to let her go but I'll always remember
Every hug in the mornin and butterfly kisses

Take That Butterfly

For once in my life I couldn’t deny
I thought that I’d found my everything,
A lover a friend, the hours we would spend
just doing nothing at all,
Yeah, but your need to leave is yours alone,
break free let go,

Butterfly fly, fly away from here
I know we tried, tried through
the laughter and the tears
You’ll always be a part of me
In my heart you’ll always be
Butterfly fly, fly away, fly away

Deep in your eyes the stare that I find
All that I really ever need.
Whatever I do you know that its you
girl In every face I see.
Your last goodbye was yours alone,
break free let go,

Butterfly fly, fly away from here
I know we tried, tried through the
laughter and the tears
You’ll always be a part of me
In my heart you’ll always be
Butterfly fly, fly away, fly away
To the place you belong, I hope you
hear the feeling strong
Hope that you can find the freedom
in your life, in your life

Ahh sweet butterfly, just fly away,
just fly away
I know we tried, tried through the
laughter and the tears
You’ll always be a part of me
In my heart you’ll always be
Butterfly fly, fly away, fly away

Oh Fly Away, Oh Yeah

For once in my life I couldn’t deny,
I thought that I’d found my everything,
A lover a friend, the hours we would
spend just doing nothing at all

For once in my life I couldn’t deny,
I thought that I’d found my everything,
For once in my life I couldn’t deny,
I thought that I’d found my everything,


Take That Butterfly

Time after time

Time After Time

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
And think of you
Caught up in circles
Confusion is nothing new
Flashback--warm nights--
Almost left behind
Suitcase of memories,
Time after--

Sometimes you picture me--
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear
What you've said--
Then you say--go slow--
I fall behind--
The second hand unwinds

If you're lost you can look--and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you--I'll be waiting
Time after time

After my picture fades and darkness has
Turned to gray
Watching through windows--you're wondering
If I'm OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time--

You said go slow--
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time

Love will keep us Alive

feelings we go through ...
it is not a secret to blogland that I get depressed...
we all do if we are honest.
I needed this song today
It gives me a lift and helps me
to realise that
some times we just got to let it ride.

I was standing all alone against the world outside.
You were searching for a place to hide.
Lost and lonely,
Now you've given me the will to survive.
When we're hungry. . . love will keep us alive.

Don't you worry.
Sometimes you've just gotta let it ride.
The world is changing right before your eyes.
Now I've found you,
There's no more emptiness inside.
When we're hungry. . . love will keep us alive.

I would die for you
Climb the highest mountain
Baby, there's nothing I wouldn't do.
Now I've found you
There's no more emptiness inside
When we're hungry. . . love will keep us alive.

I would die for you
Climb the highest mountain
Baby, there's nothing I wouldn't do I was standing
All alone against the world outside
You were searching
For a place to hide
Lost and lonely
Now you've given me the will to survive

When we're hungry. . . love will keep us alive.
When we're hungry. . . love will keep us alive.
When we're hungry. . . love will keep us alive.



Love Will Keep Us Alive

Maling Love out of Nothing at All

I know just how to whisper
And I know just how to cry
I know just where I find the answers
And I know just how to lie
I know just how to fake it
And I know just how to scheme
I know just when to face the truth
And then I know just when to dream
And I know just where I touch you
And I know just what to prove
I know when to pull you closer
And I know when to let you loose

And I know the night is fading
And I know the time’s gonna fly
And I’m never gonna tell you everything I gotta tell you
But I know I’ve got to give it a try

And I know the roads to riches
And I know the ways to pain
I know all the rules and then I know how to break’em
And then I always know the name of the game

But I don’t know how to leave you
And I’ll never let you fall
And I don’t know how you do it
Making love out of nothing at all

Making love
Out of nothing at all
Making love
Out of nothing at all
Making love
Out of nothing at all
Making love
Out of nothing at all
Making love
Out of nothing at all
Making love
Out of nothing at all

Everytime I see you, well the rays of the sun are all
Streaming through the waves in your hair
And every star in the sky is taking aim at your eyes
Like a spotlight
The beating of my heart is a drum and it’s lost
And it’s looking for a rhythm like you
You can take the darkness from the deep of the night
And turn it to a beacon burning endlessly bright
I gotta follow it ‘cause everything I know
Well, it’s nothing ‘till I give it to you

I can make the runner stumble
I can make the final block
And I can make every tackle at the sound of the whistle
And I can make all the stadiums rock

I can make tonight forever
Or I can make it disappear by the dawn
And I can make you every promise that’s ever been made
And I can make all your demons be gone

But I’m never gonna make it without you
Do you really wanna see me crawl ?
And I’m never gonna make it like you do
Making love out of nothing at all

Making love
Out of nothing at all...
MAKING LOVE OUT OF NOTHING AT ALL (Air Supply)

Maddie

On may 3rd 2007 little Madeleine was abducted from her hotel room in Portugal.Her parents had left their three children sleeping in the hotel room while they went for dinner.
It has been over a year since she disappeared. Her 5th birthday was on the 9th of May.
It is sad to see that people are setting up fake websites to try and take your money claiming to be for the madeleine mccann fund there is an official fund site.
This is an extremely sad scenario - the parents believed they were in a safe environment...
had they not gone on holiday they would not have left their children alone as it is illegal to do so.

We never know when some one we love could be taken from us.
After two months I pray that this is resolved even if it is just to know where her little body is.




Jesus loves the little children
All the children of the world
Black and yellow, red and white
They're all precious in His sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world

Whether you're rich or whether you're poor
It matters not to Him
He remembers where you're going
Not where you've been

Jesus loves the little children
All the children of the world
Black and yellow, red and white
They're all precious in His sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world

If your heart is troubled
Don't worry, don't you fret
He knows that you have heard His call
And he won't forget

Jesus loves the little children
All the children of the world
Black and yellow, red and white
They're all precious in His sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world

All around the world tonight
His children rest assured
That He will watch and He will keep us
Safe and secure

Jesus loves the little children
All the children of the world
Black and yellow, red and white
They're all precious in His sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world

If my life is for rent

There are times in life where it is so much easier to be an observer.
We just need to be kind and patient with ourselves.
"Be your own best friend"


I haven't ever really found a place that I call home
I never stick around quite long enough to make it
I apologise that once again I'm not in love
but it's not as if I mind that your heart ain't exactly breaking it's just a thought, only a thought

but if my life is for rent
and I don't learn to buy
well I deserve nothing more than I get
cos nothing I have is truly mine

I"ve always thought that I would love to live by the sea
to travel the world alone and live more simply
I have no idea what's happened to that dream
cos there's really nothing left here to stop me

it's just a thought, only a thought
but if my life is for rent
and I don't learn to buy
well I deserve nothing more than I get
cos nothing I have is truly mine

while my heart is a shield and I won't let it down
while I am so afraid to fail so I won't even try
well how can I say I'm alive

but if my life is for rent
and I don't learn to buy
well I deserve nothing more than I get
cos nothing I have is truly mine








For rent
Dido

Devil woman

“With a soul and a demon in the same body
it can be quite a struggle."

I've had nothing but bad luck
Since the day I saw the cat at my door
So I came into you sweet lady
Answering your mystical call
Crystal ball on the table
Showing the future,the past
Same cat with them evil eyes
And I knew it was a spell she cast

She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you from behind

Give me the ring on your finger
Let me see the lines on your hand
I can see me a tall dark stranger
Giving you what you hadn't planned
I drank the potion she offered me
I found myself on the floor
Then I looked in those big green eyes
And I wondered what I'd came there for

She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you from behind

Stay away, look out!

If you're out on a moonlit night
Be careful of them neighbourhood strays
Of a lady with long black hair
Tryin' to win you with her feminine ways
Crystal ball on the table
Showing the future,the past
Same cat with them evil eyes
You'd better get out of there fast

She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you...

Cliff Richard - Devil Woman lyrics

Law Is For Protection Of The People

Billy Dalton staggered on the sidewalk someone said he stumbled and he fell
Six squad cars came screamin' to the rescue hauled old Billy Dalton off to jail

Cause the law is for protection of the people rules're rules and any fool can see
We don't need no tramps like Billy Dalton scaring decent folks like you and me
no siree

Charlie Watson wandered like a stranger showin' he had no means of support
Policeman took a look at Charlie's pants cuffs hustled Charlie Watson off to court

Cause the law is for protection of the people rules're rules and any fool can see
We don't need no bums like Charlie Watson
Scaring decent folks like you and me
no siree

Homer Lee was nothing but a hippie walking through this world without a care
Then one day six strapping brave policemen held down Homer Lee and cut his hair

Cause the law is for protection of the people rules're rules and any fool can see
We don't need no hairy headed hippie scaring decent folks like you and me
no siree

So thank your lucky stars you've got protection walk the line and never mind the cost
And don't wonder who them lawmen were protecting
When they nailed the Saviour to the cross

Cause the law is for protection of the people rules're rules and any fool can see
We don't need no little sneaking prophets scaring decent folks like you and me
no siree

Substitute

You've been waiting much too long now
Don't know when she's coming home
You've been loyal true and faithful
All this time of being alone
If I could get that same dedication
I'd give you everything in creation
If she doesn't come back (come back) (come back)
Ooh! I'll be your substitute whenever you want me
Oh don't you know I'd be your substitute
Whenever you need me
Ooh ooh ooh

Everyday you waited for her, I've been waiting here for you
All this time I've been lonely knowing what you're going through
I waited til my chances occured, ause you can't keep relying on her
If she doesn't come back (if she doesn't come back)
I'll be your substitute whenever you want me (ooh ooh)
Oh don't you know I'd be your substitute
Whenever you need me
Ooh ooh ooh
Each day by your window (you sit and sigh) hoping to see her face
Well you might as well forget about her and find someone to take her place
I'll be your substitute whenever you want me (ooh ooh)
Oh don't you know I'd be your substitute
Whenever you need me
Ooh ooh oo

Just a passing soul

A song that I wanted to share with you...
we all have a past, and there have been people who we
shared our dreams with..
Perhaps we lost touch, grew apart and moved on with our lives.
If you were asked to do it all again would you?
Or would you prefer not to have that dance of life?


Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared 'neath the stars alone
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I a king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey who's to say you know I might have chanced it all

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance
The Dance

Song for Spunky I wont grow up

I refuse to listen, to the lies I‘m told
That I got to grow up, as I grow old
Sorry that I missed that, but then I’m just a kid
And this raging child fire, I won’t be rid
Cause its ever so much better, and you’ll get the most joy
When in group of Q-Tips, you’re that wild and crazy boy
So you can shake that finger, or you join the fun
But either way old friend ...I won’t grow up

Its a waste to save me
So don’t you even try
No you’ll never break me
The young feathers on these wings ...let me fly

Splashing in mud puddles, laughing milk out my nose
Running around in mismatched clothes
Making crazy faces, daring them to stick
I’m skipping school cause I’m faking I’m sick
Screaming out loud and making some noise
Making odd creations from disassembled toys
So you can shake that finger
Or you can join the fun
But either way old friend
...I won’t grow up

Talking back too often, playing with my food
Getting into trouble involving superglue
Jumping and dancing, won’t quit asking why?
I’ve eaten so much candy that I’ve got a sugar high
Acting like the raptor, I’ve been known to climb trees
Finding the worst moment to play hide and seek
So you can shake that finger
Or you can join the fun
Either way old friend
...I won’t grow up






I Won't Grow Up
Benny Mann

May you stay forever young

May God bless and keep you always,
May your wishes all come true,
May you always do for others
And let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

May you grow up to be righteous,
May you grow up to be true,
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you.
May you always be courageous,
Stand upright and be strong,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

May your hands always be busy,
May your feet always be swift,
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful,
May your song always be sung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

Young at heart

Fairy tales can come true,
It can happen to you,
If you're young at heart!

For it's hard you will find
To be narrow of mind,
If you're young at heart!

You can go to extremes,
With impossible schemes,
You can laugh when your dreams
Fall apart at the seams . . .

And life gets more exciting,
With each passing day,
An' love is either in your heart,
Or, on the way!

Don't you know that it's worth,
Every treasure on earth,
To be young at heart!

For as rich as you are,
It's much better by far,
To be young at heart!

And if you should survive,
To a hundred an' five,
Look at all you'll derive
Outta bein' alive!

And here is the best part,
You have a head start . . .
If you are among,
The very young at heart!

( Don't you know that it's worth,

And if you should survive,
To a hundred an' five,
Look at all you'll derive
Outta bein' alive!

And here is the best part,
You have a head start . . .
If you are among,
The very young . . .
at heart!

Somewhere out there

Somewhere out there beneath the pale moonlight
Someone's thinking of me and loving me tonight

Somewhere out there someone's saying a prayer
That we'll find one another in that big somewhere out there

And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star

And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky

Somewhere out there if love can see us through
Then we'll be together somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true

And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star

And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky

Somewhere out there if love can see us through
Then we'll be together somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true

Smile

smile
smile
though your heart is aching
smile
even though it's breaking
when there are clouds
in the sky
you 'll get by
if you smile
through your fear and sorrow
smile
and maybe tomorrow
you 'll see the sun
come shining through
for you

light up your face with gladness
hide every trace of sadness
although a tear
may be ever so near
that's the time
you must keep on trying
smile
what 's the use in crying
you 'll find that life
is still worthwhile
if you just smile...

smile
