A little presumptuous of you
Hell Vanash great song you posted above. I have not heard it in years. Thanks for going through the effort of taking down the lyrics “old school style”. You get a 10 out of 10 for effort, well done!

Favorite Carter song ..Patches
Citizen X (20-Nov-13)
Roy C ... Dont blame the man another great song
Citizen X (22-Nov-13)
I saw Clarence Carter live in Brunswick Georgia in the late 80's, it was a surprisingly lively affair. If you don't get up and shake it at a Clarence Carter gig then you're never going to.
This is another guy I saw live by accident. He was performing on one of the stages at a festival in Staffordshire UK and I had no idea he was going to be there. Not sure if this a song that's already been featured in this thread but if so here it is again.
Edwin Starr - War

Engelbert Humperdinck: Quando, Quando, Quando:1962: Lyrics and Video
“Tell me when will you be mine
Tell me quando, quando, quando
We can share a love divine
Please don't make me wait again
When will you say yes to me
Tell me quando, quando, quando
You mean happiness to me
Oh, my love, please tell me when
Every moment's a day
Every day seems a lifetime
Let me show you the way
To a joy beyond compare
I can't wait a moment more
Tell me quando, quando, quando
Say it's me that you adore
And then darling, tell me when
Every moment's a day
Every day seems a lifetime
Let me show you the way
To a joy beyond compare
I can't wait a moment more
Tell me quando, quando, quando
Say it's me that you adore
And then darling, tell me when
Oh my darling, tell me when
My darling, tell me when.”

Humperdinck....Love it love it love it. This song reminds me of when my parents had dinner parties when I was youngster. They would dance the night away on songs like this. It has left a lasting impression on my musical taste.
Nice one Vanash!

To stay with this mood for a while... I give you the late great Frank Sinatra!
Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On a, Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby, kiss me
Fill my heart with song
And let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you
Fill my heart with song
Let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, in other words
I love you
Never skip a song by FRANK, it’s just downright inappropriate.

Bob Marley: Small Axe: 1973
“If you are the big tree, let me tell you that
We are the small axe, sharp and ready
Ready to cut you down (well sharp)
To cut you down”
“Did you Know,” that I did not get the following from a chappie wrapper?
Though I’ve been studying the life, music and philosophy of Bob Marley for many years, to date I still find amazing little things that I learn about his music.
I always liked the song ‘small axe.’ UB40 used the introduction of this song to their 1989 song: ‘Here I am Baby,’ when the song reaches climax, the entire band sing “ BOB, BOB, BOB, BOB, in order to pay homage to Bob Marley.
I read into this song that you were you the small guy in life, you could take on the big guy, a David v Goliath scenario.
This was partly true!
The real meaning behind this song was a simple innuendo by Bob Marley to “BIG TREE records(of his day),”

Bob Marley and The Wailers
“Why boasteth thyself
Oh, evil men
Playing smart
And not being clever?
I said, you're working iniquity
To achieve vanity (if a-so a-so)
But the goodness of Jah, Jah
I-dureth for-I-ver
So if you are the big tree
We are the small axe
Ready to cut you down (well sharp)
To cut you down
These are the words
Of my master, keep on tellin' me
No weak heart
Shall prosper
And whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall fall in it, fall in it
And whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall fall in it (... fall in it)
If you are the big tree, let me tell you that
We are the small axe, sharp and ready
Ready to cut you down (well sharp)
To cut you down
(To cut you down)
(To cut you down)
These are the words
Of my master, tellin' me that
No weak heart
Shall prosper
And whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall fall in it, uh, bury in it
And whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall bury in it, uh (... bury in it)
If you are the big, big tree
We are the small axe
Ready to cut you down (well sharp)
To cut you down
If you are the big, big tree, let me tell you that
We are the small axe
Ready to cut you down (well sharp)
To cut you down
Sharpened .”
