Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine, When you gonna let me get sober? Leave me alone, let me go home, Let me go back and start over. I’ve always thought this was the most pathetically honest song about alcoholism! Mr. Bass Man, you’ve got that certain somethin.’ Mr. Bass Man, you set that music thumpin.’ To you it’s easy when you go, “1-2-3.” Ba-da-bup-bup bow! It’s a fun song but really sorta stupid. Just like I like 'em. ---

Heh, you asked for it. I’m going above and beyond here, you’re not just getting a snippet of lyrics from some bad song, you’re getting the full experience. [Broadband](http://www.hellonetwork.com/demo/toysclub/video.asp?speed=hook300) [56k Modem](http://www.hellonetwork.com/demo/toysclub/video.asp?speed=hook40) NOT WORK FRIENDLY, has sound.

I was talking to my mom and she suggest a Dean Martin hit and even rolled her eyes at the song. I had to look up the words but figure it is fair cause mom was quoting the words but I had a memory dump by the time I got to a computer. Everybody loves somebody sometime Everybody falls in love somehow Something in your kiss just told me That sometime is now Everybody finds somebody someplace There’s no telling where love may appear Something in my heart keeps saying My someplace is here [sub]Rico I am in the left coast, LA county[/sub] ---

Call me. Don’t be afraid, you can call me. Maybe it’s late, but just call me. Tell me and I’ll be around. Now don’t forget me cause if you let me [ugh I better stop there or else it will be in my head all day and I will have to scrub the thing again–although it might be too late] How could we have forgotten Neil Sedaka: I love I love my little calendar girl Each and every day of the year January you start the year off fine February you’re my little valentine ---

You ask me if there’ll be a time when I’ll grow tired of you, NEVER MY LOVE, NEVER MY LOVE. You wonder if this heart of mine will lose its desire for you NEVER MY LOVE, NEVER MY LOVE AND… CHERISH is the word I use to describe all the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside You don’t know how many times I’ve wished that I had TOLD you , you don’t know how many times I’ve wished that I could HOLD you. ---

I can see why you think you belong to me I never tried to make you think or let you see one thing for yourself But now you’re off with someone else and I’m alone You see I thought that I might keep you for my own. Amie, what 'choo wanna do I think I could stay with you For a while, maybe longer if I do. ---

So I’d Like to know where you got the notion Said, I’d Like to know where you got the notion \ Don’t rock the boat, baby \ Don’t tip the boat over, \ Don’t rock the boat, baby \ Ever since our voyage of love began Your touch has thrilled me like the rush of the wind And your heart has held me safe from the rolling sea There’s been a quiet place to harbor me Our love is like a ship on the ocean We’ve been sailing with a load of love and devotion… [sub]you’ve got to walk that lonesome valley, You’ve got to walk it by yourself, nobody else can walk it for you…[/sub] ---

If we’re going for dreck - fourth class, this’ll do ") Hello, yeah, it’s been a while. Not much, how 'bout you? I’m not sure why I called, I guess I really just wanted to talk to you. And I was thinking maybe later on, We could get together for a while. It’s been such a long time, And I really do miss your smile. I’m not talking 'bout moving in, And I don’t want to change your life. But there’s a warm wind blowing, The stars are out, and I’d really love to see you tonight…" Translation: how about lay - for old time’s sake… how romantic!

Please excuse a minor hi-jack here. Happyheathen, I hope you can help me with the title and “artist” of the following lyrics: Linda lost her lover In the early part of autumn. Mercifully have forgotten some of the lyrics Last time that I saw her She was making sure the winter Couldn’t come through that old door frame Where the door is several inches From the ground, the cold, hard ground. And its hard to go down easy Blah, blah, blah. Dreck if I’ve ever heard it. ---
