How Long Is Too Long Wasn't Long Enough

Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better.

Hey Jude, don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better.

[Aruntraveller]

Nobody does it better makes me feel sad for the rest
 Nobody does it half as good as you
 Baby, you're the best
 I wasn't lookin' but somehow you found me
 I tried to hide from your love light
 But like heaven above me the spy who loved me
 Is keepin' all my secrets safe tonight

[ekim]

Whippoorwills call, evenin' is nigh
Hurry to my blue heaven
Turn to the right, there's a little white light
Will lead you to my blue heaven

You'll see a smilin' face, a fireplace, a cozy room
Little nest that nestles where the roses bloom

Molly and me, and the baby makes three
We're happy in my, in my blue heaven.

Blue Bayou

[Nearly Sane]

Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell
Full of that yankee doodly dum
Half a million boots went sloggin' through hell
And I was the kid with the drum
Say, don't you remember, they called me Al
It was Al all the time
Why don't you remember, I'm your pal
Say buddy, can you spare a dime?

[Anchorman]

 A song of the clearances - tune 'Mist covered mountains'. This one always brings a tear. Hush, hush, time to be sleeping Hush, hush, no time for weeping Hush, hush, dreams come a creeping Smile in your sleep, bonnie baby. Once our valleys were ringing With sounds of our children singing Now sheep feed and bleat til the evening And ceilings stand empty and open Hush, hush..... We stood with heads bowed in prayer While factors laid our cottages bare And screams filled the clear mountain air And many were dead by the morning. Hush, hush.... Where was our proud highland mettle Our men once so fearless in battle Now stand cowed huddled like cattle And wait to be shipped o'er the ocean. Hush, hush, time to be sleeping Hush, hush, no time for weeping Hush, hush, dreams come a creeping Don't die in your sleep, bonnie baby.

... and off to Brigadoon ....
Can't we two go walking together, out beyond the valley of trees?
Out where there's a hillside of heather, curtsying gently in the breeze
That's what I'd like to do, see the heather, but with you.

The mist of May is in the gloaming, and all the clouds are holding still
So take my hand and let's go roaming through the heather on the hill.
The morning dew is blinking yonder, there's lazy music in the rill
And all I want to do is wander through the heather on the hill.

[Humph Warden Bennett]

When the buds are blossoming
Smiling welcome to the spring
Lovers choose a wedding day
Life is love in merry May

(Ruddigore, G & S)

Hey little sister what have you done
Hey little sister who's the only one
Hey little sister who's your superman
Hey little sister who's the one you want
Hey little sister shotgun
It's a nice day to start again
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again

"I'm red white and blue, I've got justice to do
 I'm the man of your fantasy dreams
 But I'm an alien man from an alien land
 Who's alive on your orthicon screens.
 I once ruled the world and when flags were unfurled

 I performed for you live not on tape.
 But the public is cruel when played for a fool
 As you see by the blood on my cape."

I don't want to be like old George Reeves
 Stuck in a Superman role.
 I've got a long way to go in my career
 And some day my fame will make it clear
 That I had to be a Superman

[Nearly Sane]

Father's name was Hezikiah
Mother's name was Ann Maria
Yanks through and through
Red, white and blue
Father was so Yankee hearted
When the Spanish War was started
He slipped upon his uniform
And hopped up on a pony
My mother's mother was a Yankee true
My father's father was a Yankee too
And that's going some
For the Yankees, by gum
Oh, say can you see
Anything about my pedigree that's phoney?

I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy
A Yankee Doodle, do or die
A real live nephew of my uncle Sam's
Born on the Fourth of July
I've got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart
She's my Yankee Doodle joy
Yankee Doodle came to London,
Just to ride the ponies
I am a Yankee Doodle boy

A foggy day, in London town
Had me low, had me down
I viewed the morning, with much alarm
British Museum, had lost its charm.

How long I wondered,
Could this thing last
But the age of miracles, hadn't passed
For suddenly, I saw you there
And through foggy London town,
The sun was shining everywhere.

[Aruntraveller]

The moon that lingered over London town
 Poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown.
 How could he know that we two were so in love?
 The whole darn world seemed upside down.

The streets of town were paved with stars,
 It was such a romantic affair.
 And as we kissed and said goodnight,
 A nightingale sang in Berkeley square.

[ekim]

Meanwhile in La La Land....
Him:
Some other girl and guy
Would love this swirling sky
But there's only you and I,
And we've got .. no shot
This could never be
You're not the type for me
And there's not a spark in sight
What a waste of a lovely night.

Her:
You say there's nothing here
Well let's make something clear
I think I'll be the one to make that call.
And though you look so cute
In your polyester suit
You're right.... I'd never fall for you at all.
And maybe this appeals
To someone not in heels
Or to any girl who feels
There's some chance ... for romance
But I'm frankly feeling nothing
Or it could be less than nothing
You're right ...What a waste of a lovely night.

[Aruntraveller]

could be the driver an articulated lorry
 I could be a poet I wouldn't need to worry
 I could be a teacher in a classroom full of scholars
 I could be the sergeant in a squadron full of wallahs
 What a waste
 What a waste
 What a waste
 What a waste

 Because I chose to play the fool in a six-piece band,
 First-night nerves every one-night stand.
 I should be glad to be so inclined.
 What a waste! What a waste!
 But I don't mind.

[ekim]

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
And so I come to you my love,
My heart above my head.
Though I see the danger there.
If there's a chance for me, then I don't care

Fools rush in where wise men never go.
But wise men never fall in love,
So how are they to know
When we met, I felt my life begin.
So open up your heart and let this fool rush in.

[Aruntraveller]

Wise men say only fools rush in
 But I can't help falling in love with you
 Shall I stay
 Would it be a sin
 If I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea
 Darling so it goes
 Some things are meant to be
 Take my hand, take my whole life too
 For I can't help falling in love with you

[Nearly Sane]

I come from down in the valley
Where mister when you're young
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
Me and Mary we met in high school
When she was just seventeen
We'd ride out of this valley down to where the fields were green
We'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we'd ride

[ekim]

Captain Smith
The master in command
A man with wealth of wisdom
A fine upstanding man
But the fog He didn't hear the calls
The ice block was waiting
For fifteen hundred souls

And she sailed
Through the night
On her way Down among the dead men
Down among the dead men
The band played
She sailed the virgin
She sailed the sea
Down among the dead men
Down among the dead men
And into history.

[Aruntraveller]

 want all the world to see
 To see you're laughing
 And you're laughing at me
 I can take it all from you
 Again again again again again again again
 Deeper and down
 Down down deeper and down
 Down down deeper and down
 Down down deeper and down
 Get down deeper and down

[Nearly Sane]

She takes the winter and she makes it summer
And summer could take a few lessons from her
Picture a tomboy in lace
That's Nancy with the laughin' face

[ekim]

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

Gone away is the bluebird,
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song,
As we go along,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

[Humph Warden Bennett]

There will be blue birds over
the White Cliffs of Dover

(Well it is Dame Vera's big ton birthday!)

[ekim]

Blue skies smiling at me
Nothin' but blue skies do I see
Bluebirds singing a song
Nothing but bluebirds all day long
Never saw the sun shining so bright
Never saw things going so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you're in love, my how they fly.
