I'm getting nostalgic. Here's another one. Sunday mornings. Bright sunshine. Dad playing records. Me just roaming around the house. Not a worry in the world.
A welcome break from Rock. Alternative or Classic.
This song's got a great hook. I don't know exactly what it is, but there's this freshness in her voice which I really like.

Whatcha Gonna Do
| Lyrics | [−] |
Whatcha gonna do with a dog like that,
He aint no good and that's a well known fact
I'd run him off but he'd just come back
Now whatcha gonna do with a dog like that.
That man of mine he's in no good thing
He went down town and hawked my wedding ring
Spent all the money 'fore he got back
Now whatcha gonna do with a dog like that.
We got six kids and one on the way
He lays around the house and he sleeps all day
Always wants me to scratch his back
Now whatcha gonna do with a dog like that.
Whatcha gonna do with a dog like that
He aint no good and that's a well known fact
I'd run him off but he'd just come
Now whatcha gonna do with a dog like that.
Came in this morning 'bout a half past 4
Stubbed his toe and fell through the door
Broke all my dishes chasing the cat
Now whatcha gonna do with a dog like that.
The roof needs fixing and it's starting to rain
The car wont start there's no gasoline
He's got me living in this run down shack
Now whatcha gonna do with a dog like that.
Whatcha gonna do with a dog like that
He aint no good and that's a well known fact
I'd run him off but he'd just come
Now whatcha gonna do with a dog like that.
He aint no good and that's a well known fact
I'd run him off but he'd just come back
Now whatcha gonna do with a dog like that.
That man of mine he's in no good thing
He went down town and hawked my wedding ring
Spent all the money 'fore he got back
Now whatcha gonna do with a dog like that.
We got six kids and one on the way
He lays around the house and he sleeps all day
Always wants me to scratch his back
Now whatcha gonna do with a dog like that.
Whatcha gonna do with a dog like that
He aint no good and that's a well known fact
I'd run him off but he'd just come
Now whatcha gonna do with a dog like that.
Came in this morning 'bout a half past 4
Stubbed his toe and fell through the door
Broke all my dishes chasing the cat
Now whatcha gonna do with a dog like that.
The roof needs fixing and it's starting to rain
The car wont start there's no gasoline
He's got me living in this run down shack
Now whatcha gonna do with a dog like that.
Whatcha gonna do with a dog like that
He aint no good and that's a well known fact
I'd run him off but he'd just come
Now whatcha gonna do with a dog like that.
This was probably the first English song I ever heard. So it will always have a special memory for me. That of my father and the HMV record player that we have (Yes, it still works). And childhood and the showcase which had the player and more...
It's probably not the type of music you will frequently find in this blog. But what the heck. I remembered it today and dug it out from the net. It has this nice rhythm to it. I'm hearing it after ages and I still like it.

LA International Airport
| Lyrics | [−] |
Standing in that silent hall waitin' for that final call
Says he doesn't love me anymore
Shaking hands I pack a bag Trembling voice I call a cab
Slowly I start walking to the door
The cab arrives he blows his horn I stumble out at in the early morn
Tell him of the place I've got to go
Cared a hundred signal lights paid her bills and a traffic fine
Gettin' through these doors that's been so slow
LA International Airport... Where the big jet engines roar
LA International Airport... I won't see him anymore
Stewardess in a miniskirt A hippie in a leather shirt
I started on the way to Naples, Rome
While I'm wondering where it's at I see a Paris diplomat
College kids are trying to get back home
Baggage car goes quickly by See my face and I start to cry
Stumble to the lounge to be alone
And while I'm trying to get some rest I bite my lips and try my best
To fight the pain that's making me leave home
LA International Airport...
With silver wings across the sky Paper trails and wave goodbye
To those below who've got to stay at home
I wish that I had flown at night So I could take that champagne flight
Rid myself of every tear I own
Soaring high above the heaven in a 747 Fighting back the tears that curse my eyes
Captain's voice so loud and clear amplifies into my ear
Assuring me I'm flying friendly skies
LA International Airport...
Says he doesn't love me anymore
Shaking hands I pack a bag Trembling voice I call a cab
Slowly I start walking to the door
The cab arrives he blows his horn I stumble out at in the early morn
Tell him of the place I've got to go
Cared a hundred signal lights paid her bills and a traffic fine
Gettin' through these doors that's been so slow
LA International Airport... Where the big jet engines roar
LA International Airport... I won't see him anymore
Stewardess in a miniskirt A hippie in a leather shirt
I started on the way to Naples, Rome
While I'm wondering where it's at I see a Paris diplomat
College kids are trying to get back home
Baggage car goes quickly by See my face and I start to cry
Stumble to the lounge to be alone
And while I'm trying to get some rest I bite my lips and try my best
To fight the pain that's making me leave home

To those below who've got to stay at home

Soaring high above the heaven in a 747 Fighting back the tears that curse my eyes

Hes got everything. An amazingly smooth voice and as distinctive a guitar playing style ( and sound ) that there can be.
9 out of 10 songs that I come across are about love and relationships. Within them, a majority about loving and losing. That's what makes this one all the more special.
Quality Shoe
You have to look at the lyrics when you listen to the song. Why aren't there more songs like these?
You got your toecaps reinforced with steel
Hard-wearing sole and heel
Make those tired feet feel like new
Take your pick, black or Brown
Great for the country or the man in town
You're gonna need a quality shoe
You don't want no stand-by pair
'Cos these'll take the wear and tear
Made to take good care of you
For that trip by road or rail
For extra grip on those rocky trails
You're gonna need a quality shoe
Now they maybe ain't too hot for dancing
But I don't foresee too much of that
You ain't exactly gonna be prancing
Around in the moonlight
With a cane and a top hat
If you could use a change of pace
And be excused from the rat race
Just take a look at what's on view
Lace 'em up, walk around
I guarantee you can't wear 'em down
You're gonna need a quality shoe
Now I wish you sunny skies
And happiness wherever you may go
But you got to realise
There'll be wind, there'll be rain
And occasional snow
You're gonna want to smile in them
If you're gonna walk a mile in them
There'll be times when you'll be blue
To laugh at rainy days and then
Make your getaways in them
You're gonna need a quality shoe
You got your toecaps reinforced with steel
Hard-wearing sole and heel
Make those tired feet feel like new
Take your pick, black or Brown
Great for the country or the man in town
You're gonna need a quality shoe
Opportunity
Sometimes, its just the lyrics. A friend sent me the song on a Friday morning. Couldn't have asked for a better start to the day.
It's the kind of song I would want to listen to driving along the road.
Don't be scared of what you cannot see
Your only fear is possibility
Never wonder what the hell went wrong
Your second chance may never come along
Read the lyrics. Makes perfect sense to me right now.
And so it goes another lonely day
Your savin time but your miles away
Your fly was drownin in some bitter tea
For seeing lost opportunity
Find your mirror go and look inside
And see the talent you always hide
Don't go kidd yourself well not today
Satisfaction's not to far away
Hold on now your exits here
It's waiting just for you
Don't pause too long
It's fading now
It's ending all too soon you'll see
Soon you'll see
Your coffee's warm but your milk is sour
Life is short but your here to flower
Dream yourself along another day
Never miss opportunity
Don't be scared of what you cannot see
Your only fear is possibility
Never wonder what the hell went wrong
Your second chance may never come along
Hold on now your exits here
It's waiting just for you
Don't pause too long
It's fading now
It's ending all too soon you'll see
Soon you'll see
Hold on now your exits here
It's waiting just for you
Don't pause too long
It's fading now
It's ending all too soon you'll see
Soon you'll see
Immensely soothing and flowing. If you dont have Wine, I guess a can of Beer or a glass of Scotch wouldn't be too bad.
And simple, honest lyrics...
Wine
Don’t make me no dancer
Don’t give me no answers
Don’t bring you my way
Wine
Don’t paint me no pictures
Don’t make me no richer
Just leads me astray
Wine
Don’t make this a party
Don’t help me stay on key
Don’t throw me no bones
Wine
Don’t make me no lover
Don’t give me no cover
It don’t know my way home
It don’t make me feel better
But it makes me feel different
Something to hold
While I’m wonderin’ where I went
Fruit of the vine
Bottle of wine
Wine
Don’t make me no smarter
Don’t help me work harder
To right what I’ve wronged
Wine
Sweet as a berry
Bitter as envy
Soft as a song
It don’t make me feel better
But it makes me feel different
Something to hold
While I’m wonderin’ where I went
Fruit of the vine, baby, bottle of wine
