I don't waste it, we just ran out of milk in the office. :D

Thanks for the link. Reminds me of when she was getting ready to bed me, just before I woke up. The trollop.

Just a water for me, thanks all the same :lol:

Why do good dreams, like that, always end just before the best bit and if you go back asleep you can never pick up where you left off. Whereas nightmares, on the other hand............. :eusa_think:

Good dreams like that usually bring comments in the morning like, "playing 'tents' again?". :huh:

Back on the music thread (sorry Mike, it was Pabloh's fault), over New Year we were larking about with Singstar (PS2 kareoke thang). One of the most difficult songs to sing to was 'Walking In Memphis' (Marc Cohn) - and that had strange comely effects on my missus. Mind you, it was probably more to do with my superb singing ;) Or the lager.

Is that a song all about Hackett resentment?

I think that Otis Redding takes some beating when it comes to romantic music. I just adore 'Since I've Been Loving You'. It is a heart achingly beautiful piece of music that brings any woman to her knees (advantageous if you are stood).

And on not such a serious note, two pieces of crude music by Frank Zappa spring to mind when thinking of the complete opposite of romantic music. One is 'Dinah-Moe Humm' (a song about a woman who doesn't believe any man can make her orgasm) and 'Ms Pinky' (a song about a rubber sex toy). Women will hate both pieces. I think they are rip roaringly hilarious;

I couldn't say where she's coming' from,

But I just met a lady

named Dinah-Moe Humm

She stroll on over, say look here, bum,

I got a forty dollar bill say

you can't make me cum

(Y'jes can't do it)

She made a bet with her

sister who's a little

bit dumb

She could prove it any

time all men was scum

I don't mind that she called me a bum,

But I knew right away she

was really gonna cum

(So I got down to it)

I whipped off her bloomers'n

stiffened my thumb

An' applied rotation on her sugar plum

I poked 'n stroked till

my wrist got numb

But I still didn't hear

no Dinah-Moe Humm,

Dinah-Moe Humm

Dinah-Moe Humm

Dinah-Moe Humm

Where's this Dinah-Moe

Comin' from

I done spent three hours

An' I ain't got a crumb

From the Dinah-Moe, Dinah-Moe, Dinah-Moe

From the Dinah-Moe Humm

Got a spot that gets me hot, ow!

An' you ain't been to it

(No no no no!)

Got a spot that gets me hot, ow!

An' you ain't been to it

(No no no!)

Got a spot that gets me hot

But you ain't been to it

(No no no no no!)

Got a spot that gets me hot

But you ain't been to it

'Cause I can't get into it

Unless I get out of it

An' I gotta get out of it

Before I get into it

'Cause I never get into it

Unless I get out of it

An' I gotta be out of it

To get myself into it

(She looked over at me with a glazed eye

And some bovine perspiration

on her upper lip area

And she said . . . )

Just get me wasted

An' you're half-way there

'Cause if my mind's tore up,

Then my body don't care

I rubbed my chinny-chin-chin

An' said my-my-my

What sort of thing

Might this lady get high upon?

I checked out her sister

Who was holdin' the bet

An' wondered what kind of trip

The young lady was on

The forty dollar bill

didn't matter no more

When her sister got nekkid

an' laid on the floor

[ Lyrics found at www.mp3lyrics.org/VGn ]

She said Dinah-Moe might win the bet

But she could use a

little ______ if I wasn't

done yet

I told her . . .

Just because the sun

Want a place in the sky

No reason to assume

I wouldn't give her a try

So I pulled on her hair

Got her legs in the air

An' asked if she had any

cooties on there

(Whaddya mean cooties!

No cooties on me!)

She was buns-up kneelin'

BUNS UP!

I was wheelin' an dealin'

WHEELIN' AN' DEALIN' AN' OOOOH!

She surrender to the feelin'

SHE SWEETLY SURRENDERED

An' she started in to squealin'

Dinah-Moe watched from

the edge of the bed

With her lips just a-twitchin'

an' her face gone red

Some drool rollin' down

From the edge of her chin

While she spied the condition

Her sister was in

She quivered 'n quaked

An' clutched at herself

While her sister made a joke

About her mental health

'Till Dinah-Moe finally

Did give in

But I told her

All she really needed

Was some discipline . .

I'll never forget seeing this one performed live circa '79

"Regrets" by Anthony Phillips.

I found the lyrics:

***

Regrets, yes I have many,

but none so great as spurning your love.

For how sweet, how sweet your love would be

As fierce as fire, as tender as dew.

So let the rain fall

Crashing on me

And blind my eyes

for the love I can't feel.

Take a sound, don't you wait, don't be hurried

Make a sign, don't be late, don't you worry now.

Sometimes, I would have you close to me

and take the path that leads to the sea.

In the dark our eyes would meet at last

and on your lips, the words I must flee.

So let the rain fall

Crashing on me

And blind my eyes

for the love I can't feel.

Take a sound, don't you wait, don't be hurried

Make a sign, don't be late, don't you worry now.

So let the rain fall

Crashing on me

And blind my eyes

for the love I can't feel.

Pulling out while the doubts loom above me

Shouting out in the dark for you to love me

Cutting life from the hopes of an outstretched hand

Regrets, our secret cemeteries,

where loves and loss are silently lain,

The dream is fading faster now,

and soon you'll skip beyond my recall

***

Thanks Russ. A very powerful song that fits my state of mind right now. It's not on iTunes, so after work I'm off to the Borders music to hunt for it.

Thinking out loud (common excuse for backtracking later)

What is romantic music? I mean that what I (and I'm sure many of us) have seen in music evolution is fantastic, like if you were at a punk gig in 19*lost my voice*, some of the girlies then were blown away in a turned on, 'let's have kids NOW' kinda of way to music that you banged heads to, but still got all the magnets working.

Fast forward the clock on a wee bit and a lot of what we might call 'soft California Rock' gets all the juices going, some great sounds re-emerging, re-constituted, but still innovative and great fun, but certainly enough to get two bods dancing/snogging/frictionating.

Another end of the spectrum could be, the kids are in bed, a great classical piece (no, not a reference to a part of my bod) is blurting out whilst the sweet 'n sour' pork is looking ready to serve, when your partner walks in only to find a bloke-type is suddenly attractive - obviously due to the cullinary skills and choice of motivational music.

So, does romantic music depend on the mood, time, age, 'the moment'? Is great romantic music like a simultaneous orgasmatron - everything has to be 'just so'? Please discuss, and I'll watch, I like to do that :ninja:

This is the perfect song for me :wub:

We'll do it all

Everything

On our own

We don't need

Anything

Or anyone

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know

How to say

How I feel

Those three words

Are said too much

They're not enough

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told

Before we get too old

Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time

Chasing cars

Around our heads

I need your grace

To remind me

To find my own

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told

Before we get too old

Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am

All that I ever was

Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

I don't know where

Confused about how as well

Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?2147430981.jpg

Any place where i can hear it??, not on youtube...

Can't find it either Ankit. This will give you a nice feel for Phillips though. Here's a lovely ditty from his Almum 'The Geese And The Ghost' and features a vocal from Phil Collins. Gives a good impression of where Genesis could have gone without the arrival of Steve Hackett.

Dont go changing, to try and please me

You never let me down before

Dont imagine youre too familiar

And I dont see you anymore

I wouldnt leave you in times of trouble

We never could have come this far

I took the good times, Ill take the bad times

Ill take you just the way you are

Dont go trying some new fashion

Dont change the color of your hair

You always have my unspoken passion

Although I might not seem to care

I dont want clover conversation

I never want to work that hard

I just want someone that I can talk to

I want you just the way you are

I need to know that you will always be

The same old someone that I knew

What will it take till you believe in me

The way that I believe in you

I said I love you and thats forever

And this I promise from the heart

I could not love you any better

I love you just the way you are

Oh baby,i love you the way you are

18th Floor Balcony by Blue October

I close my eyes and I smile

Knowing that everything is alright

To the core

So close that door

Is this happening?

My breath is on your hair

I'm unaware

That you opened the blinds and let the city in

God, you held my hand

And we stand

Just taking in everything.

And I knew it from the start

So my arms are open wide

Your head is on my stomach

And we're trying so hard not to fall asleep

Here we are

On this 18th floor balcony.

We're both flying away.

So we talked about mom's and dad's

About family pasts

Just getting to know where we came from

Our hearts were on display

For all to see

I can't believe this is happening to me

And I raised my hand as if to show you that I was yours

That I was so yours for the taking

I'm so yours for the taking

That's when I felt the wind pick up

I grabbed the rail while choking up

These words to say and then you kissed me...

I knew it from the start

So my arms are open wide

Your head is on my stomach

And we're trying so hard not to fall asleep

Here we are

On this 18th floor balcony...

We're both flying away.

And I'll try to sleep

To keep you in my dreams

'til I can bring you home with me

I'll try to sleep

And when I do I'll keep you in my... dreams

I knew it from the start

So my arms are open wide

Your head is on my stomach

And we're trying so hard not to fall asleep

So here we are

On this 18th floor balcony, yeah

I knew it from the start

My arms are open wide

Your head is on my stomach

No, we're not going to sleep

Here we are

On this 18th floor balcony... we're both..

Flying away

I'd rather see my favorite driver in the middle of the pack battling others. That's were you can really appeciate his skill. Running alone 30 seconds ahead of 2nd might be satisfying for the driver you support, but not as thrilling to watch.

Thus u have multiple favourite drivers...

So i want Kimi/Massa to win the race but also like to see Kubica, Force India and a few others do well....

:lol: That convinced me of posting the translation

"Oleo de una mujer con sombrero" ("Painting of a woman with hat")

A woman has just missed

to know the ecstasy and dust.

She just missed this beautiful madness

her brief waist under me.

She just missed my way of making love,

she just missed my footprint on her sea.

I see a flickering light

and promises to leave us in the dark.

I see a dog barking at the moon,

with another figure that resembles me.

I see more: I see that she didn't found me.

I see more: I see that she got lost.

An ineffable woman

flying away like a seagull,

and I promptly dry up my boots,

blaspheme a note and turn off the clock.

Love might as well be carfeul

for I can sing its song.

Cowardice is a matter

of men, not of lovers.

Coward loves never become love

nor stories, they just stay there.

Nor memories could save them,

nor the best speaker could spell them.

A woman with a hat

like a painting from old Chagall

corrupting me to the fear's core,

and me, being not good, started to cry.

But then I dried for me,

now I cry for seeing her die.

(Believe me, in Spanish it is infinitely more beautiful)

Listen, tovarisch.
