Time of your life - Green Day

Another turning point;
a fork stuck in the road.

Time grabs you by the wrist;
directs you where to go.

So make the best of this test
and don't ask why.

It's not a question
but a lesson learned in time.

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

Better Days - Goo Goo Dolls

And you ask me what I want this year
And I try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
And desire and love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

Get out of yoyr lazy bed / Matt Bianco

Half yhe days gone and we havent earned a penny / Kenny Lynch

This comment was removed because the moderators found it broke the house rules. Explain.

#38

I'm going to wait until it appears in Reader's Digest.

#38 somebody is bound to ask for the post to be removed because of the lyrics being posted. That's what happened to me about a year ago.

Mind you. maybe the moderator is Dutch and he'll let you have your post and this one will be removed

#38 i think it was julie cos it was too long to read on her phone.
I downloaded the song and the cars cover you have mentioned once or thrice as the 'preview' sounded quite promising.

#39/40

Oh well. Who is 'somebody' - can't imagine Nick Hemming complaining, it was an encourgaement to play his band. No matter.

That's the second completely and utterly inoffensive post I've had moderated in consecutive posts.

Other folks have posted lyrics here, I don't see them removed.......

Still, saved you having to read it, faither.

henri

She loves you, yeah,yeah yeah

#40 well done..hope you enjoy it, your boy being an aspiring musician will appreciate the sentiment - our Iain is the same and it emboldeded him..the cover of Cars is really rather special, I think.

The Daughter's plans have changed a bit but I'm overjoyed that she's made it to Uni...staying at home...which is actually good, even though I'd just got used to the thought of her moving hundreds of miles away! Having heard Henri's 'Sunscreen' suggestion for the first time in years fairly recently on GIO I absolutely loved it so big second for that! So much of it makes so much more sense to me at my advanced age of course but it's worth a try...she might listen! Please wish her all the best and tell her that even though I'm ever so proud of her, she can get herself out of bed in the morning!!!

Best advice in a quote;

Never Moon a Werewolf - Mike Binder


Best advice (for loons) in a song;

Get a Haircut - George Thorogood & The Destroyers


;o)

Teenage Boogie - Shakin Pyramids

.....wee tune to get freshers week going ......

@ ya paolo re 'big picnic'.....it's no' done yet but yer name is in the jotter.

once when it was the easter holidays and i had exams during them...........but try as i could i couldnae make the £110 grant i got 10 weeks previously stretch any more than 70 days.
so i went to the brew and said........'gies money, i'm skint an' ahve got exams'
so the brew boy said............yer no' available for work if ye've got exams, cheerio.
while i pondered waiting for the £5 from the parents that would stock me up for 3 weeks with corn flakes eggs and newspapers, i thought it would be advantageous to learn to sing.
and that is the first piece of advice to any youngster 'learn to sing'

'sing for your supper'.....................mamas and papas

of course young people often do not heed advice and become dafties so my second piece of advice would be that if you are going to become a daftie then do it properly.....

'go where you wanna go and do what you wanna do'........mamas and papas

whoever would have thought that the mamas and papas were so sage like with the advice.

#44 it wasn't me....

(at the risk of posting lyrics...)

Note to production team - please transfer my shout at #1 to Julie at #45 for 'the daughter', who's been one of the hidden cast on this blog and has provided a number of excellent shouts in my time on here - wish her all the best from us all for Uni.

A song written from a mother to son perspective, but it works for any parent and child, and fits this theme perfectly:Love and happiness for you - Kimmie Rhodes

"Simple man" by Lynyrd Skynrd would be good too.

note to production team, please transfer my shout at #7 to Julies daughter at #45

#44 The cover of Cars is really good. It reminds me a lot of Taken By Trees version of Sweet Child of Mine, probably the piano and pace of the song. Not sure which came first but wouldn't surprise me if one 'inspired' the other.

#50 #52 LOL Thanks guys. Yes both of your choices stuck a chord with me. I'm just hoping that, after 13 years of horrible school mornings, her brain will finally register that that horrible ringing/buzzing sound that fills up her room each morning is her alarm!

#53

Ah well, some good came of it.Thanks.

It strikes me a s a tad ironic that a lyric quoted in support of Nick Hemming and which was quoted to demonstrate that he is 'John Lennon and Paul McCartney rolled into one ' is moderated into the void on the grounds that it might breach his copyright:-))

#57. Thanks!

Afternoon all!

Part of me is quite jealous of all the young folk embarking on the next stage of their lives, especially as I didn't get to uni as I went straight into the workplace. Then I remember all the angst of being a teen ... no thanks!!

How about Welcome To The Black Parade by the rather dashingly scrummy My Chemical Romance/

Cheers ma dears!
