Guest lolmil Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Don't know if this has been done before but what is the best northern verse that sticks in your mind? For me it has to be :- I'm tracking water all through the house I thought it was from a leaking sink So I called a plumber to rush right over To see if he could fix this leak He rushed right in and took a look And much to my surprise He said now son it's not your sink But teardrops from your eyes (ok, this is two verses but who's counting) Who know's, if we get enough Mr. Levine might cut them as a re-mix!!

Guest andycambs Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 You can go and find you somebody else, I can live cheaper by myself, Don't need no woman to help me starve to death, can you dig it? Williams and Watson of course, the entire song is excellent but those three lines stand out for me (not speaking through experience) just incase she's reading this later Andy Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Simsy Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 (edited) When you've got the trouble of the world on your shoulders and each passing day the sun grows a little colder, your future doesn't look any brighter, your load isn't getting any lighter, you're down and push has come to shove, now is the time to try my love.

Well if we're not counting: Look at me a king on the throne With everything a man could ever own But without you by my side No girl to be my guide I am nothing, nothing at all look at me a thousand slaves at my hand waiting to obey my every command Cos without you by my side No girl to be my guide I am nothing, nothing at all Give up my castles Give up my slaves For just one precious moment in your embrace Here I stand with tears in my eyes Though I have everything I can only sit and sigh Cos without you by my side No girl to be my guide I am nothing, nothing at all girlies: Here I am a king of no one else, baby baby ?? Ooh I'm nothing I ain't got no love Oh baby I'm a king And I have everything Oh but love is what I need now Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 When you go through a day And the things that people say They make you feel so small They make you feel that Your heart will just never stop aching And when you just can't accept the abuse you are taking Darlin' reach out for me Don't you worry, I'll see you through You just have to reach out for me I'll be there and I'll comfort you Oh yes, I will Comfort you and love you Oh how I'm gonna love you When good friends prove untrue And the things they do to you They make you feel so bad They make you feel that You haven't a reason for living So when you feel you Could throw in the towel and just give in One of my favourite soul records is this....

Me and Dave Godin go for that, and no one can beat Mr Godins taste, Blues and Soul 1972. I remember that! I copied the words from Dave's "Lyric Turn On Of The Fortnight"! Then wrote them in a lurve letter to me girlfriend. She dumped me the very next week. Fortunately, soon after, Dave also feaured the Ad Libs, Nothing Worse Than Being Alone!

Guest Neil-ok Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Gotta agree with andycambs,too late williams and watson re- i dont need no woman to help me starve to death. The whole song is a great for the verses "you and your new love keep on keepin on" but the best is "tell her to keep that love man...if that what she calls it she`ll mess you around and make you alcaholic".Great stuff.
