Blue Eyes

 Hello, I know we just met yesterday

Sorry what is your name" I just meant to say

We were part of a crowd and I should have asked

But spent all night making others laugh


But if I had taken a little more time
I would maybe have given some kinda sign 
Can I be forward and make a suggestion
“Can we meet up soon, or is that out of the question?”

I think maybe you’re a little shy
But you brushed by me and caught my eye
I can’t stop still thinking of you
Your beautiful smile and those eyes so blue.

Maybe a date at the bowling arcade
We could maybe enjoy a nice lemonade
Or you might prefer to go to the flicks
Where we can feast on sweet pick’ n ‘mix

I think maybe you’re a little shy
But you brushed by me and caught my eye
I can’t stop still thinking of you
Your beautiful smile and those eyes so blue.

We’ve only just met but I’m sure glad that we did
“Please don’t think me to forward, heaven forbid!”
I’m burning up with sweet desire
Meeting you set my heart on fire

If your not busy and at a loose end
Would you walk with me up the wild West End
We could take in a show then I’ll take you home
Know your safe wherever we roam

I think maybe you’re a little shy
But you brushed by me and caught my eye
I can’t stop still thinking of you
Your beautiful smile and those eyes so blue.

You don’t have to worry, if you’re a little unsure
I'm a nice guy "my intentions are real pure"
I’ll treat you with kindness and the upmost care
While enjoying the date with laughter to spare

I think maybe you’re a little shy
But you brushed by me and caught my eye
I can’t stop still thinking of you
Your beautiful smile and those eyes so blue.

Hello, I know we just met yesterday

I know you now and I love your name"

We were part of a crowd and its not polite

Glad of our date and being with you tonight



Grip on Tight

If you convert my cat with a little less pain
I wont lose grease on my link or chain
Could you fix the puncture on my nearside rear
Would you pour me a shandy bitter lemon beer

Things I may have said many moons ago
When my manifold was just about to blow
Maybe change a valve or repair my heart
My plugs are not sparking, I need a spare part

I take my oil nice and thick
I grip on tight when sitting on slicks
My customized hood moving side to side
A racing girl enjoying my ride

I liken myself to second hand cars
A Hillman Minx once a Jaguar
A 2 door saloon not the public bar
Riding in style like a rodeo star

I have been known to put my foot to the floor
My pedal to the metal " Are you keeping score"?
Loving American stars and bars
Racing that Dodge, eating Hershey bars

I take my oil nice and thick
I grip on tight when sitting on slicks
My customized hood moving side to side
A racing girl enjoying my ride

Cranking up the heavy speedway sound
Blowing a fuse while hitting the ground
Playing along to custom car blues
Slow riding in blue suede boots

Racing along the open road
Wheel and tire overload 
Releasing that rubber when breaking to skid
The wind in my hair with no crash lid

I take my oil nice and thick
I grip on tight when sitting on slicks
My customized hood moving side to side
A racing girl enjoying my ride

Torch that turbo, relax and cruise
Take the short cut, nothing to loose
Cut the corner going into a bend
Leaving Michelin marks and a sticky end

I love my oil nice and thick
Yeah grip on tight when sitting on slicks
My customized hood moving side to side
A racing girl enjoying the ride

Exhilarate, before you hesitate 
" My mama says "don't stay out late"
So on with the throttle and radio
Playing Z Z Top sharp dressed bro



Yeah take my oil nice and thick
I grip on tight when sitting on slicks
A racy girl just enjoying the ride
My customized hood moving side to side

I love your oil nice and thick
Gripping on tight while nice and slick
My customized hood moving side to side
A racey girl just enjoying her ride

You're the only one( Who knows the real me)

 I sat down at my desk with purpose today

With every intention to write you to say
I wish that we had more time together
I thought we were destined to live forever.

Seeing you leave just turned my life so blue
When you said goodbye, my heart left too
I need you here, don't want to be free
Your the only one who knows the real me

The roses You bought now in full bloom
Sending sweet thoughts and love through my room
I’m looking out at this mornings bright sun
"Hope it’s shining for you and your missions soon done" 


The garden swing hangs silent since you’ve been gone
How we’d cuddle together, every summer so long
Everything is empty and I'm missing you
I wish you were here" Not with the chosen few"

Seeing you leave just turned my life so blue
When you said goodbye, my heart left too
I need you here, don't want to be free
Your the only one who knows the real me

I hate the war that made you join up and leave
It chokes my emotion" I can hardly breath
I miss your voice, those songs you sing
You are my rock, My one true king

I believe in your magic, cannot get enough
Tenderness could turn into words so tough

Dreaming the days away not sleeping in bed
Thoughts of you and all that you said
I’m wishing and hoping you come back soon
I find it so hard while you’re with the platoon

Seeing you leave just turned my life so blue
When you said goodbye, my heart left too
I need you here, don't want to be free
Your the only one who knows the real me

I watched from the window as the mailman appeared
My Tea cup shaking as he neared
He rang the bell I didn't hesitate , opened the door to hear of my fate

My heart skipped a beat, My body felt numb
Fearing this moment would one day come
The feeling I felt as I was handed the post
When excepting the mail " white as a ghost
 
The postmark and stamp from military
Sent three weeks ago " I dropped to my knee's
With a smile on my face " and a tear in my eye
Your on your way home " I said with a sigh"


Seeing you leave just turned my life so blue
When you said goodbye, my heart left too
I need you here, don't want to be free
Your the only one who knows the real me

Are You Busy?

 Pass me that pen " I wanna write her again"

To tell her I love her and missing my friend

I'll try to explain how I hurt from the pain

I feel like a loser who's going insane


We had so many years, found laughter and tears

Why did you leave, be the cause of my grief

Can we sit down, grab lunch in town

It would be good just to have you around


Are You busy? Are You well? please release me from hell

Have you anything to say? just write back and tell

Your still in my thoughts my special best friend

I will cherish my memory of you till the end 


I don't belong to a circle of real friends now

Keeping myself to myself but hate it somehow

I really miss your smile and your funny ways

I'm only guessing but do you miss those days


So many times lately I miss you so much

Days without your soft tender touch

Looking into your eyes and seeing loves bright light

Those cosey winters and warm summer nights


So will you ring me or write or email my friend

Just to let me know " This wont be the end"

A message of hope would do the world of good

I'll cross my fingers. pray and touch wood


Are You busy? Are You well? please release me from hell

Have you anything to say? just write back and tell

Your still in my thoughts my special best friend

I will cherish my memory of you till the end 


So many times lately I miss you so much

Days without your soft tender touch

Looking into your eyes and seeing loves bright light

Those cosey winters and warm summer nights


This pens starting to run a little dry

The black ink turned blue just like your eyes

This ball point wont last no more than 4 words

I don't have another " It seems so absurd"


Say hello to your Ma, "she is a friend"

My pen has now come "to a sad bitter end".....

Not Coming Back/Saying Goodbye

I'm just a little disappointed by the way you feel

You say its nothing and no big deal

But I disagree and need to react

As to why your leaving and not coming back


Yes we tended to ignore those carefree times

When we were guilty of cheating crimes

Those agree to disagree moments and crocodile tears

Those jealous tantrums over many years


I thought we were honest and would never lie

But now it seems your saying goodbye

Acting as if its natural, Not much different to natures call


You could have said if having second thoughts

Of how an open relationship has its faults

By now we could have gotten over it

But now it seems its festered bit by bit


"Please don't go" stay and sort this out

It used to be swings and roundabouts

We decided together and set limits

To stay together forever as free spirits 


Emotions run high some of the time

But you gotta know when to draw the line

Love is one thing and surely defined

By our hearts and never our mixed up minds


So don't leave me baby, go out and return

I promise you my lesson is learned

One thing for sure that would tare me apart

Is you leaving me and breaking my heart


You could have said if having second thoughts

Of how an open relationship has its faults

By now we could have gotten over it

But now it seems its festered bit by bit


I'm just a little disappointed by the way you feel

You say its nothing and no big deal

But I disagree and need to react

As to why your leaving and not coming back


Not coming back no no not coming back

It don't sit right and that's a fact

Don't leave me honey "Stay with me"

I love you babe "Don't wanna be free


Plain Jane (The Girl of My Dream)

Waiting on a Bus in the freezing cold

Been standing here so long, feels like I'm getting old

I wish I had a reason to leave the queue

Glad I didn't as just seen you


Your just like the girl I saw in my dream

The one that was tempting "you know what I mean"

I never realized that dreams came true

Rubbing my eyes I guess they really do


Should I stand and wait my turn in the queue

Or should I move to try and talk to you

My predicament leaves me with no choice

When I heard your soft and sexy voice


You were talking with a guy "I had to know why"

So I moved a little closer to catch your eye

I heard you say that you liked to dance

I could not believe it " This could be my chance" 


We can dance all night Jive and swing

Rock n Roll is really my favourite thing


But how can I be forward "It would be so rude"

Should I wait on the bus and be glad I queued

I began to think " Had my luck run out"

When all of a sudden I heard the guy shout


See ya later !"Nice to see you again"

And maybe catch up but don't know when

My heart all of a sudden had slowed down

Knowing that she was single and new to the town


I heard you say that you liked to dance

I could not believe it " This could be my chance" 

We can dance all night Jive and swing

Rock n Roll is really my favorite thing



The Bus pulled up and I jumped the Queue

Saying hey can I come sit with You

She gave me that smile "You know the one from my dream

My face was a picture " I hoped she were keen


I paid her fare and continued to stare

Looking at this beauty with the long black hair

I said Forgive me so what is your name?

She said to me "oh its just plain Jane"


You aint plain I can tell you right now

When I saw you at the stop "I thought Wow"

Would You go to the local hop with me

Oh I don't know" We'll just have to see"


I heard you say that you liked to dance

Well so do I " This could be our chance" 

We can dance all night Jive and swing

Rock n Roll is really my favorite thing


Come on Jane Just say yes "Its Friday night I'll dress to impress

Well if you pick me up at 7 then maybe I guess

I betcha look cute in a satin dress

Just say yes yes yes yes yes


Your parents can look me up and down

It don't mean nothin as your we're new in town

Well see you Friday as this is my stop

We will have a ball at the Lindy Hop


We can dance all night Jive and swing

Rock n Roll is really my favorite thing

Jive with me "Jane take that chance"

Take me to heaven C'mon lets dance


She said its gonna be great so its 7 at mine

Promise me we'll have a good time

We can be together the perfect team

Just be there Jane the girl of my Dream


Girl of my dream don't break my heart

Promise me we'll never part

Jive with Me Jane take this chance

Take me to Heaven come on lets dance


Oh yeah oh yeah come on lets dance

Lets hold hands kiss n romance

Promise me we'll never part

Girl of my dream don't break my heart

Mr Cool

 I don't know what you want from me

And doubt I ever will

I don't know what your looking for

Are you getting a cheap thrill


Seeing if you can test my nerve while digging underground

Or just waiting on that moment when my limits can be found


I wasn't born with a silver spoon hanging from my mouth

Don't need a compass to point me north or south

I could spell, reed, and write before the age of six

I can find fresh water with willow dowsing sticks


You'll have to get up early before the sun can rise

Try singing with the birds to pull wool over my eyes

You wont get the better of me as I am Mister Cool

I can see you coming and aint nobody's fool


You wont get the better of me by playing silly games

You wont fit me up, I wont take the blame

You aint getting the better of me, Not one little bit

So please submit, give in and just quit

Yeah you aint getting the better of me, Not one little bit


Don't waste your time while shouting out those evil lies

I have people watching you " your so called friends are spies

They tell me everything, every hate speech you announce

Feel the weight of my wrath every pound and every ounce


The rock of truth will sit upon your tales and your lies

The boulder of guilt will forever blind your eyes

Take just a minute to ask yourself one thing

Why appear like a butterfly? but like a wasp you wanna sting


You wont get the better of me by playing silly games

You wont fit me up, I wont take the blame

You aint getting the better of me, Not one little bit

So please submit, give in and just quit

Yeah you aint getting the better of me, Not one little bit


Yeah I can see you coming and aint nobody's fool

You wont get the better of me as I am Mister Cool


I don't know what you want from me

And doubt I ever will

I don't know what your looking for

Exhausted by your lies and damnation overkill


Yeah I can see you coming and aint nobody's fool

You wont get the better of me as I am Mister Cool
