No sugar tonight in my coffee
No sugar tonight in my tea
No sugar to stand beside me
No sugar to run with me
Da-un-do-dow dow da-un-do-dow
Da-un-do-dow dow no no
Da-un-do-dow dow da-un-do-dow
Da-un-do-dow dow
Guess who? 
Their small town eyes will gape at you
In dull surprise when payment due
Exceeds accounts received
At seventeen.
No Sugar Tonight IS by the Guess Who.
He remembers the first time he met her
He remembers the first thing he said
He remembers the first time he held her
And the night that she came to his bed
He remembers her sweet way of sayin’
“Honey has something gone wrong?”
He remembers the fun and the teasin’
And the reason he wrote her this song.
I’ll give you a daisy a day
Dear I’ll give you a daisy a day
I’ll love you until the rivers run still
And the four winds we know blow away.
now, back to DRECK…
Each time we have a quarrel, it almost breaks my heart,
Cause I’m so afraid that we will have to part,
Each night I ask the stars up above,
Why must I be a teenager in love?
I found her diary underneath a tree
And started reading about me
The words she’d written took me by surprise
You’d never read them in her eyes
They said that she had found, the love she’d waited for
Wouldn’t you know it… she wouldn’t show it.
Baby, I’m-a want you
Baby, I’m-a need you
You the only one I care enough to hurt about
Maybe I’m-a crazy but I just can’t live without
Your lovin’ and affection givin’ me direction
Like a guiding light to help me through a darkest hour
Lately I’m-a prayin’ that you’ll always be-a stayin’ beside me
We were so close, there was no room
We bled inside each other’s wounds
We all had caught the same disease
And we all sang the songs of peace
Some came to sing, some came to pray
Some came to keep, the dark away
So raise the candles high
'Cause if you don’t we could stay black against the sky, oh
Oh, raise them higher again
And if you do we could stay dry against the rain.
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
“Lay Down” will be allowed only if you can name the time/place/event/signifigance of the ritual described.
I, as one of the ‘candles in the rain’, am qualified to list this song, ARE YOU?
heretics defiling the sacred songs of my youth!
“Bells will ring
The sun will shine
(whoa-whoa-whoa)
I’ll be his and
He’ll be mine
We’ll love until
The end of time
And we’ll never be lonely anymore
Because we’re
Goin’ to the chapel and we’re
Gonna get married
Goin’ to the chapel and we’re
Gonna get married
Gee, I really love you and we’re
Gonna get married
Goin’ to the chapel of love…”
Some more Zevon:
Well I met a girl in the Vieux Carré
Down in Yokahama.
She picked me up and she throwed me down
I said “Please don’t hurt me, mama”
and whoever mentioned “Doggie in the Window” didn’t do the worst verse:
I read in the paper there are robbers (roof! roof!)
With flashlights that shine in the dark
My love needs a doggie to protect him
And scare them away with one bark
Oh the shark, babe,
Has such teeth, dear,
And he shows them pearly whites…
Judy in disguise,
That’s what you are…
My baby does the hanky panky…
P.S. - happyheathen - my apologies for the duplication of Green Tambourine. I should have caught that :rolleyes:
I’m Henry the Eighth, I am
Henry the Eighth, I am, I am.
I got married to the widow next door.
She’s been married seven times before.
And every one was an Henry, Henry
Blah, blah, blah
Second verse, same as the first.
I thought that was John Fred & His Playboy Band
:eek: My bad.
A few more from the annals (anals ?!?) of music history.
[li]The Bee Gee’s: ”I Started A Joke” – I started a joke which started the whole world crying[/li]But I didn’t see that the joke was on me…'Till I finally died which started the whole world living Finally? Not soon enough in my opinion.

Awful, both. But I Nominate, for the King of Dreck…

Gravestones cheer the living, dear, they’re no use to the dead. These lyrics are no use to the living, and probably caused a few deaths along the way.
“You Are The Sunshine Of My Life
That’s Why I’ll Always Stay Around
You Are The Apple Of My Eye
Forever You’ll Stay In My Heart
I Feel Like This Is The Beginning
Though I’ve Loved You For A Million Years
And If I Thought Our Love Was Ending
I’d Find Myself Drowning In My Own Tears”
this is the 355[sup]th[/sup] identifiable entry
(But, since Rico has yet to justify his inclusion of Lay Down, we’ll call it 354)
No justification needed - any woman who would sing a song like “Brand New Key” is always included in the dreck category as far as I’m concerned…and apparently, you’re older than I am! :rolleyes: In other words, it’s nothing more than a “flower power” song to me.
In the meantime…
Rocky Raccoon checked into his room
Only to find Gideon’s bible
Rocky had come equipped with a gun
To shoot off the legs of his rival
His rival it seems had broken his dreams
By stealing the girl of his fancy
Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil
But everyone knew her as Nancy
“Glory, glory, psychotherapy
Glory, glory, sexuality.
Glory,glory, now we can be free
As the Id goes marching on…”
