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]

i`m three time`s happier than the law allows me to be.... Lou Ragland.... and me....

[Guest andycambs]

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

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

[Bitchdj]

I LOVE YOU AND I CARE FOR YOU THOUGH I TREATED YOU BAD..

NOW YOUR HITTING ME WITH SOME CRUSHING BLOWS..YOU REALLY KNOW HOW TO HURT A MAN...

SO GO AHEAD AND KICK ME GIRL..YOUR DOIN A GOOD JOB I AINT LYIN..

Didnt Pete Lawson have a verse on his chest?

Top verse for me: Sorry if I sound concieted but I think I'm better than you, if you had this girl of mine I think that you'd be bragging too.

As played at my wedding as the good Mrs Byrne and I signed the register

[Guest]

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....

Did you know Olivia Newton John covered that too! LOL

[Guest]

the whole of ''who's making love' reminds me of an ex

[Guest]

Just hung up the telephone

Your new boyfriend could`nt wait to tell me

That you and I are through

Don`t stand there looking silly

etc.

[BrianB]

Cathy Bs debut on here is:-

My anger clouded my judgement

And I saw a red flash

And my mouth wrote a check that my heart couldn't cash.

Parliament - Don't be Sore at Me

Mine is:-

When I look into your soft eyes I melt like candy jam,

I'll do anything to please you, yes anything I can.

Me and Dave Godin go for that, and no one can beat Mr Godins taste, Blues and Soul 1972.

Thats QUALITY, not sure about the Adults bit though?

[Guest rachel]

There's so many but cos I've just been playing it.. the lyrics of Jimmy Ricks do funny things to me (yes even the quivering liver bit )

You fell in my arms and fitted like a glove

Then you led me knee deep into love, love, love...

You make me tremble and shake like an earthquake

When you press your lips to mine

How I love the way that you make

The chills run up and down my spine...

Mmm ooh what a feeling indeed....

[Blake H]

Thats QUALITY, not sure about the Adults bit though?

Yeah your right Gav Three adults and Kev Johno.

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!

It's mad the things that stick in your brain ain't it?

to be a woman you must be many things

there's more to marriage than rice and rings

to be mre jones yuo must hold your head high

theres not a woman on earth more loyal than I

Atfer You Give Your All - Softouch

The words to this record were written on Gaz Kelletts kitchen wall. If this record was played when we were both out you'd see us in the middle of the dance floor shouting out the words and jumping up and down together....

One of my all-time faves

I,m walking down this lonely avenue, a picture of your face keeps coming through. I know i wont forget what i did today. I got up and walked away

[Little-stevie]

"And when i walk in the town,people there they don't want me around,they say hey drifter don't want your kind around,so i go my way back to the highway"...

I have cried along with many others singing this song while on the dancefloor..

Just thinking about the song makes me weak!

It also just kills you the with the line "Heaven came and took her away,out of my arms and left me to wonder"..That is soul music and why we are all here..

god bless the soul

i've got tons of food girl,

pounds and pounds of silver,

but that just dont seem enough

coz you are the gold

you are the gold of my life...

[Guest Dan]

always had a soft spot for these but there are so many great lyrics out there (and some shite ones too)

it's just another way, to pass the time of day

a way to spend my time, to keep you off my mind

watching the clouds in the sky, go slowly drifting by

like feeding the birds in the park, and counting the stars after dark

and searching for...something new to do

i tried walking in the street, but i only got tired feet

travelling in the same direction, and winding back up where i began...

watching the clouds in the sky, go slowly drifting by

like feeding the birds in the park, and counting the stars after dark

and searching for...something new to do

it's so hard when you're feeling blue

mind you, reading them again the following response occurs to me:

you soft bastard, get yourself another bird. and while you're at it, get yourself a proper job. all that moping around in the park, that's no good. too much time on your hands, that's your problem.

© my mum (the moping/job bit, not the soft bastard bit, that's all my own work)

[Gary]

Lots really, but this one in particular at the minute,

Now baby i need you with all my soul,

Come some day we'll reach our goal,

Got to keep moving and we cant turn around,

Happiness and success it can be found.

[sepia]

DONT LEAVE ME IN A PATENT WAY,LET ME DOWN EASY.

which we never do

I always liked that bit in 'blowing up my mind' where the nice young lady talks about wrapping up in adhesive tape from the waist down then swallowing honeybees pound by the pound.

It always conjured up a pleasant feeling inside me

There`s a line from a track off the last album Johnny Adams made before he died that always makes me smile when I hear it: " for a woman who never touched a mop you sure cleaned out my bank, never left me a lot"

Divorce always creates great lyrics

[Guest Jamie]

"Crackerjacks & Toblerones and then we know that we're in love,

just smell the fresh air,

whey-hey!"

Harvey Averne, Central Park

You lot are so not beating that

[Guest Neil-ok]

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.
