    This one's for tec0; modern version of the old cowboy song.

    Excellence is not a skill; its an attitude...

    Seeing that we are into oldies; listen to Jimi Page on this 1964 number by Them. The lead singer was Van Morrison.

    “Every time I look into your loving eyes,
    I see love that money just can't buy.
    One look from you I drift away,
    I pray that you are here to stay.

    Anything you want, you got it ,
    anything you need, you got it.
    Anything at all, you got it, Baby.

    Every time I hold you I begin to understand.
    Everything about you tells me I'm your man.

    I live my life to be with you
    No one can do the things you do.


    Anything you want (You got it),
    anything you need (You got it),
    anything at all.

    I'm glad to give my love to you.
    I know you feel the way I do

    Anything at all (You got it), Baby. You got it!”

    Roy Orbison: Mystery Girl: 1989



    “Darkness falls and she will take me by the hand

    Take me to some twilight land
    Where all but love is grey
    Where time just slips away
    Without her as my guide

    Night falls I’m cast beneath her spell
    Daylight comes our heaven’s torn to hell
    Am I left to burn
    And burn eternally
    She’s a mystery to me
    She’s a mystery girl
    She’s a mystery girl


    In the night of love words tangled in her hair

    Words soon to disappear
    A love so sharp it cuts like a switchblade to my heart
    Words tearing me apart
    She tears again my bleeding heart
    I want to run she’s pulling me apart
    Fallen angel cries
    Then I just melt away
    She’s a mystery to me
    She’s a mystery girl
    She’s a mystery girl
    She’s a mystery girl


    Haunted by her side the darkness in her eyes

    But that so enslaves me
    If my love is blind then I don’t want to see
    She’s a mystery to me


    Night falls I’m cast beneath her spell

    Daylight comes our heaven’s torn to hell
    Am I left to burn
    And burn eternally
    She’s a mystery to me


    She’s a mystery girl

    She’s a mystery girl
    She’s a mystery girl
    She’s a mystery girl
    She’s a mystery girl
    She’s a mystery girl
    She’s a mystery girl.”

    Cherish: Kool & the Gang: 1985




    “Let's take a walk together near the ocean shore
    Hand in hand you and I
    Let's cherish every moment we have been given
    The time is passing by
    I often pray before I lay down by your side
    If you receive your calling before I awake
    Could I make it through the night

    Cherish the love we have
    We should cherish the life we live
    Cherish the love
    Cherish the life
    Cherish the love
    Cherish the love we have
    For as long as we both shall live
    Cherish the love
    Cherish the life
    Cherish the love

    The world is always changing
    Nothing stays the same
    But love will stand the test of time
    The next life that we live in
    Remains to be seen
    Will you be by my side
    I often pray before I lay down by your side
    If you receive your calling before I awake
    Could I make it through the night
    Cherish the love we have
    We should cherish the life we live
    Cherish the love
    Cherish the life
    Cherish the love
    Cherish the love we have
    For as long as we both shall live
    Cherish the love
    Cherish the life
    Cherish the love

    Cherish the love
    Cherish the life

    Cherish the love we have
    We should cherish the life we live
    Cherish the love
    Cherish the life
    Cherish the love
    Cherish the love we have
    For as long as we both shall live
    Cherish the love
    Cherish the life
    Cherish the love

    Cherish the love we have
    We should cherish the life we live
    Cherish the love
    Cherish the life
    Cherish the love
    Cherish the love we have
    For as long as we both shall live
    Cherish the love
    Cherish the life
    Cherish the love”

    Madonna: Cherish: 1989

    You’ve got to love the way that Madonna has re-invented herself over the years in terms of all her different ‘looks,’ I think that she’s just hot in the 80’s video Cherish! I think the motivation for the song was Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.

    In Act 3, Scene 3, the priest Friar Lawrence impresses upon Romeo that should he kill himself because he was banished from Verona, Juliet will then die because of extreme grief and He, Romeo would in effect have not kept his promise to cherish her..

    "Thy dear love sworn but hollow perjury, / Killing that love which thou hast vowed to cherish" (3.3.128-129)
    "Cherish" was built around the themes of love and relationship, with William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet being one of the major inspirations. The track also included a line from the similarly titled song by the 1960s band The Association. Musically constructed as a doo-wop style pop song, "Cherish" is regarded as a light-hearted track by critics and includes instruments such as drum machine, percussions, keyboards and a saxophone. Lyrically it talks about Madonna's devotion to her lover, and her promise to be always by his side….”[1]
    “They also compared the lyrics of the song to words spoken by Juliet, in William Shakespeare's play, Romeo and Juliet.[2]




    “So tired of broken hearts and losing at this game
    Before I start this dance
    I take a chance in telling you
    I want more than just romance
    You are my destiny, I can't let go baby can't you see
    Cupid please take your aim at me


    Cherish the thought
    Of always having you here by my side (oh baby I)
    Cherish the joy
    You keep bringing it into my life (I’m always singing it)
    Cherish your strength
    You got the power to make me feel good (and baby I)
    Perish the thought
    Of ever leaving, I never would

    I was never satisfied with casual encounters
    I can't hide my need for two hearts that bleed with burning love
    That's the way it's got to be
    Romeo and Juliet, they never felt this way I bet
    So don't underestimate my point of view


    Who? you! can't get away I won’t let you
    Who? you! I could never forget to
    Cherish is the word I use to remind me of your love

    Romeo and juliet, they never felt this way I bet
    So don't underestimate my point of view

    Who? you! can't get away I won’t let you
    Who? you! I could never forget to
    Cherish is the word I use to remind me of your love

    Give me faith give me joy, my boy
    I will always cherish you.”

    I remember this song from my misspend youth...



    Blind Guardian "and the story ends"

    And the story ends
    insanity said coldly
    still waiting for the chance
    so out of nowhere it will rise
    oh, and another journey starts
    by the call of the moon
    was it really me
    I saw in the mirror screaming
    I swallowed hate and lies
    through a thousand cries

    someone's sucking out my energy

    Bridge:
    What can I do
    on this road to nowhere
    Heart of dragon lies
    at the edge of time

    Ref.:
    And the story ends
    insanity said coldy
    still waiting for the chance
    so out of nowhere it will rise
    oh, and another journey starts
    into insanity's claws

    Come with me and join me
    a new life's waiting for you
    jump through the mirror
    leave fear behind
    no matter where I tried
    the candle light seemed
    lost forever
    before my vision fades
    -cathedral
    -falling tears

    We're not alone
    there's someone else, too
    from the mirror's other side
    reflecting the cruel part of your soul
    it's time for your choice

    Bridge

    Ref.:
    And the story ends
    insanity said coldy
    still waiting for the chance
    so out of nowhere it will rise
    oh, and another journey starts
    by the call of the moon

    (Solo)

    Heart of dragon lies

    Bridge

    The way you do the things you do: UB40: 1989


    “You got a smile so bright
    You know you could have been a candle
    I'm holding you so tight
    You know you could have been a handle
    The way you swept me off my feet
    You know you could've been a broom
    And babe you smell so sweet
    You know you could've been some perfume

    (Chorus)

    Well you could of been anything that you wanted to
    I can tell
    The way you do the things you do... alright
    The way you do the thing's you do

    As pretty as you are
    You know you could've been a flower
    If good looks were minutes
    You know you could have been an hour
    The way you stole my heart
    You know you could have been a crook
    And baby your so smart
    You know you could have been a school book

    (Chorus)

    Well you could of been anything that you wanted to
    I can tell
    The way you do the thing's you do... alright
    The way you do the thing's you do

    You make my life so rich
    You know you could've been some money
    And baby you're so sweet
    You know you could have been some honey

    (Chorus)

    Well you could of been anything that you wanted to
    I can tell
    The way you do the thing's you do... alright
    The way you do the thing's you do

    As pretty as you are.”

    Julian Lennon: Too late for Goodbyes: 1985



    Just talking about my generation...

    “Ever since you've been leaving me
    I've been wanting to cry
    Now I know how it feels for you
    I've been wanting to die
    But it's much too late for goodbyes
    Yes it's much too late for goodbyes
    Time has gone since I've been with you
    We've been starting to die
    Now it seems you don't care for me
    And I don't understand why
    But it's much too late for goodbyes
    Yes it's much too late for goodbyes

    Ever since you've been far away
    I've been wanting to fly
    Now I know what you meant to me
    I'm the one who should cry
    And it's much too late for goodbyes
    Yes it's much too late for goodbyes

    Ever since you've been leaving me
    I've been wanting to cry
    Now I know how it feels for you
    I've been wanting to die
    But it's much too late for goodbyes
    Yes it's much too late for goodbyes

    Ooh... Ah.....

    Dit dit dit dit doo
    Ba da ba da ba da ba... ba
    Ba ba ba ba ba... ba ba ba ba ba... ba.”

    “Misty mornin', don't see no sun;
    I know you're out there somewhere having fun.
    There is one mystery - yea-ea-eah - I just can't express:
    To give your more, to receive your less.
    One of my good friend said, in a reggae rhythm
    "Don't jump in the water, if you can't swim."
    The power of philosophy - yea-ea-eah - floats through my head
    Light like a feather, heavy as lead;
    Light like a feather, heavy as lead, yeah.

    See no sun! Oh.
    Time has come, I want you -
    I want you to straighten out my tomorrow! Uh.
    I want - I want - I want you - (tomorrow).
    Oh, wo-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!
    I want you to straighten out my (tomorrow)!

    Misty (morning) mornin', don't see no sun;
    I know you're out there somewhere having fun.
    Mysteries I just can't express:
    How can you ever give your more to receive your less?
    Like my good friend said, in a reggae rhythm:
    "You can't jump - you can't jump in the water, if you can't swim."

    I want you (I want you) - I want you to straighten out my today -
    My tomorrow - my-my-my - my - my
    (I want you to straighten out my tomorrow).
    On a misty morning, uh! (I want you to straighten out my tomorrow).
    Oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh!
    (I want you to straighten out my tomorrow)
    Straighten out my tomorrow - my tomorrow! Need some straightening' out!
    (I want you to straighten out my tomorrow)
    Mist! Mm. (I want) Mist! (you to straighten out my tomorrow)
    Misty! Oh! (I want you to straighten out my tomorrow) .”
