[Pariah]

Grandpa was a jack of all trades, he was a master of none
At the end of the day he'd find a way to get it done
He built a doll house for Mama
A dream house for Grandma
And took pride in the things that he made
He got it done right the first time
But sometimes the second time
Grandpa was a jack of all trades

He never once met a stranger
He mowed yards and fixed fence
He always helped out the neighbors
He never wasted a cent
He could tend a good garden
He could sharpen a blade
He made a pretty good omelette
Grandpa was a jack of all trades

He was a master of none
His bag of tricks could fix anything under the sun
He could rebuild a tranny
Open fruit jars for granny
Then he'd go take a nap in the shade
Fixed a hole in the wicker
New batteries for the clicker
Grandpa was a jack of all trades

Well, he once was a fireman
And he saved a few lives
He was there at Pearl Harbor
Thank God he survived
And when the fighting was over
He came home to the home of the brave
A true American hero
Grandpa was a jack of all trades

He was a master of none
When he rolled up his sleeves
You better believe he'd get it done
He could tie up a slip knot
Or build you a sling shot
Then show you how cribbage was played
He could unclog a sink drain
Made a mean paper airplane
Grandpa was a jack of all trades
Grandpa was a jack of all trades

Girl don't you walk out, we've got things to say
(Talk out)
Let's have it talked out, things will be okay

 

Girl, I don't want to find that I'm a little bit wrong
And you're a little bit right
I said, "Girl, you know that it's true, it's a little bit me"
(A little bit me)
And it's a little bit you too

 

Don't know, just what I said wrong
But girl I apologize
Don't go, here's where you belong
So wipe the tears from your eyes

 

Girl, I don't want to find that I'm a little bit wrong
And you're a little bit right
I said, "Girl, you know that it's true, it's a little bit me"
(A little bit me)
And it's a little bit you too

 

Oh girl, I don't want to find that I'm a little bit wrong
And you're a little bit right
I said, "Girl, you know that it's true, it's a little bit me"
(A little bit me)
And it's a little bit you too

 

It's a little bit me
(Oh, it's a little bit me)
It's a little bit you
(Oh, it's a little bit you)
Girl don't go
(Oh, it's a little bit me)
No no no no no
(Oh, it's a little bit you)

 

Girl don't go
(Oh, it's a little bit me)
No no no no no
(Oh, it's a little bit you)
Hey girl
(Oh, it's a little bit me)
Hey girl
(Oh, it's a little bit you)

Je t'aime, je t'aime

Oh oui je t'aime !

Moi non plus

Oh mon amour

 

Comme la vague irrésolue

 

Je vais, je vais et je viens

Entre tes reins

Je vais et je viens

Entre tes reins

Et je me retiens

 

Tu es la vague, moi l'île nue

 

Tu vas, tu vas et tu viens

Entre mes reins

Tu vas et tu viens

Entre mes reins

Et je te rejoins

 

Comme la vague irrésolue

 

Je vais, je vais et je viens

Entre tes reins

Je vais et je viens

Entre tes reins

Et je me retiens

 

Tu vas, tu vas et tu viens

Entre mes reins

Tu vas et tu viens

Entre mes reins

Et je te rejoins

 

L'amour physique est sans issue

 

Je vais, je vais et je viens

Entre tes reins

Je vais et je viens

Et je me retiens

Non ! Maintenant viens !

[death tribble]

Sous aucun prétexte je ne veux

Avoir de réflexes malheureux

Il faut que tu m'expliques un peu mieux

Comment te dire adieu

 

Mon cœur de silex vite prend feu

Ton cœur de pyrex résiste au feu

Je suis bien perplexe je ne veux

Me résoudre aux adieux

 

Je sais bien qu'un ex amour

N'a pas de chance ou si peu

Mais pour moi

Une explication vaudrait mieux

 

Sous aucun prétexte je ne veux

Devant toi surexposer mes yeux

Derrière un Kleenex je saurais mieux

Comment te dire adieu

Comment te dire adieu

 

Tu as mis à l'index

Nos nuits blanches

Nos matins gris-bleu

Mais pour moi

Une explication vaudrait mieux

 

Sous aucun prétexte je ne veux

Devant toi surexposer mes yeux

Derrière un Kleenex je saurais mieux

Comment te dire adieu

Comment te dire adieu

Comment te dire adieu

This is page 163 of certain pageviews. I am on page 61 of a list of all the entries.

Sadly there are a number of entries where the Internet is not throwing up what the song or artist is so once I have completed the list I will ask the posters where the lyric comes from.

       This is something that’s bothered me for a while too.  Thanks for speaking up.

[death tribble]

 

As the person responsible for the majority of the entries, I felt an obligation.

 

[Greywind]

 

You always say you like my style.
You say I'm tough and kind of wild.
Am I too much for you to tame?
I swear this time it's not a game.

 

I've known a lot of girls.
No, this I won't deny.
I'll give our love,
I'll give it more than a try.

 

That was then, (that was then) this is now.
Let me prove my love girl, I'll make you proud.
I never made (never made) this kind of vow.
That was then, this is now

 

I've led a thousand lives it seems.
And there's been a lot of broken dreams.
My mind's just swept love aside.
But you broke me down and put me wise.

 

I've doubted all compassion,
But you showed me the door.
I can't doubt it,
I don't doubt it no more.

 

That was then, (that was then) this is now.
Let me prove my love girl, I'll make you proud.

If any of my posts are leading to your confusion, you're welcome.

[Pariah]

Identifying the source of the lyrics was never a requirement, expressed or implied, of the thread. If people want sources, they could always just ask.

[Greywind]

Yeah, well, one individual keeps trying to impose rules on the thread.

[death tribble]

Repeating the same songs over and over again seems ridiculous and futile. And it is not as if there is one person who is doing this. It's quite a few of us who have done it (and that includes me). So having a masterlist should stop it happening or it seeming to be done out of spite.

I am not doing the list as a stick to goad and antagonise anyone but as an aide memoire. It will not be perfect as it won't list the original page.

 

I am rectifying my own entries to eliminate duplication or more once the list is up to date

Hang on, Sloopy
Sloopy, hang on
Hang on, Sloopy

Sloopy lives in a very bad part of town (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

'Cause you know, Sloopy, girl, I'm in love with you (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
And so I sing out

Hang on, Sloopy

Sloopy, let your hair down, girl
Let it hang down on me (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Sloopy, let your hair down, girl
Let it hang down on me, yeah, yeah (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Come on, Sloopy (Come on, come on)
Well, come on, Sloopy (Come on, come on)
Well, come on, Sloopy (Come on, come on)
Well, come on, Sloopy (Come on, come on)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hang on, Sloopy

Who's peeking out from under a stairway
Calling a name that's lighter than air?
Who's bending down to give me a rainbow ?
Everyone knows it's Windy

Who's tripping down the streets of the city
Smiling at everybody she sees ?
Who's reaching out to capture a moment ?
Everyone knows it's Windy

And Windy has stormy eyes
That flash at the sound of lies
And Windy has wings to fly
Above the clouds (Above the clouds)
Above the clouds (Above the clouds)

And Windy has stormy eyes
That flash at the sound of lies
And Windy has wings to fly
Above the clouds (Above the clouds)
Above the clouds (Above the clouds)

Who's tripping down the streets of the city
Smiling at everybody she sees ?
Who's reaching out to capture a moment ?
Everyone knows it's Windy

Who's tripping down the streets of the city
Smiling at everybody she sees ?
Who's reaching out to capture a moment ?
Everyone knows it's Windy

Who's tripping down the streets of the city
Smiling at everybody she sees ?
Who's reaching out to capture a moment ?
Everyone knows it's Windy

Who's tripping down the streets of the city
Smiling at everybody she sees ?
Who's reaching out to capture a moment ?
Everyone knows it's Windy

Who's tripping down the streets of the city
Smiling at everybody she sees ?

Well, when I was a young man, never been kissed
I got to thinkin' it over- how much I had missed
So I got me a girl and I kissed her and then, and then
Oh, lordy, well I kissed 'er again

 

Because she had kisses sweeter than wine
She had, mmm, mmm, kisses sweeter than wine
(Sweeter than wine)

 

Well I asked her to marry and to be my sweet wife
I told her we'd be so happy for the rest of our life
I begged and I pleaded like a natural man
And then, whoops oh lordy, well she gave me her hand

 

Because she had kisses sweeter than wine
She had, mmm, mmm, kisses sweeter than wine
(Sweeter than wine)

 

Well we worked very hard, both me and my wife
Workin' hand-in-hand to have a good life
We had corn in the field and wheat in the bin
And then, whoops oh lord, I was the father of twins

 

Because she had kisses sweeter than wine
She had, mmm, mmm, kisses sweeter than wine
(Sweeter than wine)

 

Well our children, they numbered just about four
And they all had a sweetheart a'knockin' on the door
They all got married and they wouldn't hesitate
I was, whoops oh lord, the grandfather of eight

 

Because she had kisses sweeter than wine
She had, mmm, mmm, kisses sweeter than wine
(Sweeter than wine)

 

Well now that I'm old and I'm a'ready to go
I get to thinkin' what happened a long time ago
Had a lot of kids, a lot of trouble, and pain
But then, whoops oh lordy, well I'd do it all again

 

Because she had kisses sweeter than wine
She had, mmm kisses sweeter than wine

Love me two times baby
Love me twice today
Love me two times girl
I'm goin' away
Love me two times girl
One for tomorrow, one just for today
Love me two times
I'm goin' away

 

Love me one time
Could not speak
Love me one time
Yeah, my knees got weak
Love me two times girl
Last me
All through the week
Love me two times
I'm goin' away

 

Love me two times

Oh yeah

 

Love me one time
Could not speak

Love me two times I'm goin' away

And if I say to you tomorrow
Take my hand, child come with me
It's to a castle I will take you
Where what's to be, they say will be

 

Catch the wind, see us spin
Sail away leave today
Way up high in the sky, hey, whoa
But the wind won't blow
You really shouldn't go
It only goes to show
That you will be mine
By takin' our time, ooh

 

And if you say to me tomorrow
Oh what fun it all would be
Then what's to stop us, pretty baby
But what is and what should never be

 

Catch the wind, see us spin
Sail away, leave today
Way up high in the sky, hey whoa
But the wind won't blow
You really shouldn't go
Only goes to show
That you will be mine
By takin' our time, ooh

 

So if you wake up with the sunrise
And all your dreams are still as new
And happiness is what you need so bad
Girl, the answer lies with you, yeah

 

Catch the wind, see us spin
Sail away, leave today
Way up high in the sky, hey whoa
But the wind won't blow
You really shouldn't go
Only goes to show
That you will be mine
By takin' our time, ooh

 

Hey, oh
Oh the wind won't blow and we really shouldn't go
And it only goes to show-ow-ow
Catch the wind, we're gonna see it spin
We're gonna sail, little girl
Do do do, bop bop a do-oh
My my my my my my my yeah
Everybody I know seems to know me well
But does anybody know I'm gonna move like hell
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, Lord
Baby, baby, baby, oh, right now, yeah
No, no, no, no, no, come on, now

Wish that I was on ol' Rocky Top
Down in the Tennessee hills
Ain't no smoggy smoke on Rocky Top
Ain't no telephone bills
Once I had a girl on Rocky Top
Half bear, other half cat
Wild as a mink, but sweet as soda pop
I still dream about that

 

Rocky Top, you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ol' Rocky Top
Rocky Top, Tennessee
Rocky Top, Tennessee

 

Once two strangers climbed ol' Rocky Top
Lookin' for a moonshine still
Strangers ain't come down from Rocky Top
Reckon they never will
Corn won't grow at all on Rocky Top
Dirt's too rocky by far
That's why all the folks on Rocky Top
Get their corn from a jar

 

Rocky Top, you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ol' Rocky Top
Rocky Top, Tennessee
Rocky Top, Tennessee

 

I've had years of cramped-up city life
Trapped like a duck in a pen
All I know is it's a pity life
Can't be simple again

 

Rocky Top, you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ol' Rocky Top
Rocky Top, Tennessee
Rocky Top, Tennessee
Rocky Top, Tennessee

[Greywind]

I've made a small fortune and you squandered it all
You shamed me till I feel about one inch tall
But I thought I loved you and I hoped you would change
So I gritted my teeth and didn't complain

 

Now you come to me with a simple goodbye
You tell me you're leaving but you won't tell me why
We're here at the station and you're getting on
And all I can think of is thank God and Greyhound you're gone

 

Thank God and Greyhound you're gone
That load on my mind got lighter when you got on
That shiny old bus is a beautiful sight
With the black smoke a rolling up around the taillights
It may sound kind-a cruel but I've been silent too long
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone

 

Thank God and Greyhound you're gone
I didn't know how much longer I could go on
Watching you take the respect out of me
Watching you make a total wreck out of me
That big diesel motor is a playing my song
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone

[Greywind]

I saved up my money to buy my sweetheart some flowers
For Saturday's date and i restlessly counted the hours.
Then today in the mail i received this short little note
And i broke down inside at the message that her mother wrote.
Mary Ann regrets she's unable to see you again;
We're leaving for Europe next week, she'll be busy till then.
They know that she loves me, but poor boys don't fit in their plan.
Good-bye true love, good-bye my sweet Mary Ann.
The weeks have gone by not a word have i heard since then;
In the papers i read of the far away places she's been.
I can't eat, i can't sleep for over and over again
My mind reads that letter and i cry for my Mary Ann.
Mary Ann regrets she's unable to see you again;
We're leaving for Europe next week, she'll be busy till then.
They know that she loves me but poor boys don't fit in their plan.
Good-bye true love, good-bye my sweet Mary Ann.
My Mary Ann died, they said she just wasted away;
If i could have seen her i know she'd be living today.
For we loved each other and if they'd have left us alone,
Today she'd be wearing my ring, not a blanket of stone.
Mary Ann regrets she's unable to see you again;
We're leaving for Europe next week, she'll be busy till then.
They know that she loves me but poor boys don't fit in their plan.
Good-bye true love, good-bye my sweet Mary Ann.

Will there come a day when you and I can say
We can fin'lly see each other?
Will there come a time when we can find the time

We've been trav'lin' in circles such a long, long time,
Try'n' to say hello,
And we can just let it ride,
But you're someone that I'd like to get to know.
I'll meet you halfway, That's better than no way.

My hardened heart is frozen, weathered one too many winters
I no more smell the roses, I woke to watch 'em wither
I'm mister optimistic, but I'm missing my missus
So now I feel my ringless fingers reaching for my mistress
I'm afflicted with a wicked disease which I never wish to be rid of
This addiction got me stricken to my knees with obsession yet I've never felt bigger
Once bitten, you're smitten, no kiddin' no way I'll leave unless I'm leaving with her
Is the magic real? Are we a package deal? Slap a stamp on it, cause they gonna ship us, honey

I would never try to objectify
But you're a ten, and you got the gentlemen in line
What I lack in size, I can catch in eyes
So my lady claim your five foot seven prize, I'm a

Short man, tall woman
Hot damn, good-lookin'
I can't stand, I'm shooken
Lord help, I'm hooked because I'm
A short man, tall woman
All glam, full bosom
Yes ma'am, your cushion
Was meant for all my pushin'

Don't ever let her catch you with your guard down
You can bet she'll get your heart and have it carved out
With her skin tight silk stilted in stilettos
Crimson lips glisten in the shadows
Covered in curves, and she don't cut shallow
Got her talons in deep, keep your eyes up, fellows
Bear your fangs, baby drain me dry
I won't even try to run away cause I'm your

Short man, tall woman
Hot damn, good-lookin'
I can't stand, I'm shooken
Lord help, I'm hooked because I'm
A short man, tall woman
All glam, full bosom
Yes ma'am, your cushion
Was meant for all my pushin'

Watch her hair blow back as the wind just billows
Wrapped in satin are them massive pillows
No man in the Village ain't heard of her
If a Look Could Kill, she's a murderer
Think I'm hidin'? Nah, I'm really lurkin'
You're the vampire, but you got me thirstin'
So thick, let me be your feeder
Girl please turn me, I'll be your

Short man, tall woman
Hot damn, good-lookin'
I can't stand, I'm shooken
Lord help, I'm hooked because I'm

All glam, full bosom
Yes ma'am, your cushion
Was meant for all my pushin'

The Sea like the Sea
The Wind like the Wind
The Stars in the Sky

 

The Sea like the Sea
The moon like the Moon
The Stars in the Sky

 

The Sea like The Sea
The Moon like the Moon
The Stars in the Sky

In the wind-on the ship-a lullaby
We sailing pass the moment of time
We sailing 'round the point
The kindly light
The kindly light

 

We go sailing thru' the waters of the summers end
Long ago, search for land
Looking to and fro,
We searching in the day
We searching in the night
We looking everywhere for land a helping hand
For there is hope if truth be there
How much more will we share
We pilgrims of the sea
Looking for a home-

 

In 1620, the Mayflower sailed from Plymouth westward, carrying the Pilgrims in search of a new land

 

In Star date 27X, year, minute 33, location earth, 16 degrees polar star west, the Mayflower was launched into space in search of a new land.

 

Stars in the Sky
Shining so bright
Looking for light
On this Earth
