Good day for a wedding - take some of the butterflies with you - will make posh confetti ! Yes I am doing housework today but every Saturday there’s a programme on my local Radio Station which plays nothing but 80’s songs and it doesn’t just play the obvious ones - there’s some rarities too. I love doing the ironing with it on - makes it a lot easier. It’s a syndicated independent radio programme so you will probably find it on one of your stations down there. My local radio station is a bit like the one Alan Partridge presented on ! Ahha !

Have a nice day.

Oh Darling The Beattles

Oh! Darling, please believe me
I’ll never do you no harm
Believe me when I tell you
I’ll never do you no harm

Oh! Darling, if you leave me
I’ll never make it alone
Believe me when I beg you
Don’t ever leave me alone

When you told me you didn’t need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and cried
When you told me you didn’t need me anymore
Well you know I nearly fell down and died

Oh! Darling, if you leave me
I’ll never make it alone
Believe me when I tell you
I’ll never do you no harm

When you told me you didn’t need me anymore
Well you know I nearly fell down and cried
When you told me you didn’t need me anymore
Well you know I nearly fell down and died

Oh! Darling, please believe me
I’ll never let you down
Believe me when I tell you
I’ll never do you no harm

The first song of the day today radio 2 Feargal Sharkie - A good heart Xx we had that one before Xx

I hear a lot of stories
I suppose they could be true
All about love
And what it can do to you

Highest risk of striking out
The risk of getting hurt
And still
I have so much to learn

I know, ‘cause I think about it all the time
I know, that real love has quite a price

And a good heart, these days, is hard to find
(a good heart)
True love, the lasting kind
A good heart, these days, is hard to find
So please be gentle with this heart of mine

My expectations may be high
I blame that on my youth
Soon enough, I’ll learned
The painful truth

I’ll face it like a fighter
Then boast of how I’ve grown
Anything is better
Than being alone

I know, ‘cause I learn a little every day
I know, ‘cause I listen when the experts say

That a good heart, these days, is hard to find
(a good heart)True love, the lasting kind
A good heart, these days, is hard to find
So please be gentle with this heart of mine

As I look back
On all my childhood dreams
My ideas of love
Weren’t as foolish as they seemed

If I don’t start looking now
I’ll be left behind
And a good heart these days
It’s hard to find

I know, it’s a dream I’m willing to defend
I know, it will all be worth it in the end

And a good heart, these days, is hard to find
(a good heart)True love, the lasting kind
A good heart, these days, is hard to find
So please be gentle with this heart of mine

And a good heart, these days, is hard to find
(a good heart)
True love, the lasting kind
A good heart, these days, is hard to find
So please be gentle with this,
with this heart (with this heart) of mine

A good heart
A good heart
A good heart
A good heart
A good heart
A good heart

You little thief
You let me love you
You saw me stumbling
You watched me fall
You left me broken
Shattered and bleeding
But there’s no hard feelings
There no feelings at all

You little thief
You little savage
You little beauty
You little whore
You’ve taken everything
I had to believe in
Now there’s nothing
To believe in at all

So tell me how does it feel
To make a grown man wanna die
Does it make you uneasy
Does it every cross your mind

You little dream
You little nightmare
You little nothing
You little girl

You left me broken ...

There’s no hard feelings ..

Cos when I needed you
You watched me fall

Hi -  thankyou for posting two of my favourite 3 pop songs ! I loved the Undertones - particularly My Favourite Cousin. You see we don’t just do deep and meaningful but short and funny too ! My folks were driving me mad this weekend grrr !! Don’t they realise that I have a life and plans of my own ?? Double grr !
Glad the wedding was nice. Butterflies are only here for a short time because beauty is a precious delicate thing. A butterfly starts life as an ugly catterpillar, turns into a thing of great beauty and can’t top that so ducks out early. It’s a bit like my peace lilly - it’s now a shrivelled brown dead leaf but for a short time it brought such joy into my life and gave me hope. It will come again.

Read you e-mail - goodness me !

Ps - I never realised that the lyrics to You Little Thief were so bitter and angry !! Lordy ! ( I could never understand his Ulster accent to determine what he was singing on that one)

Shhhh Don’t tell everybody I’m pregnant !!! ha ha

Yes the lyrics were labelled next to the good heart one, I remember the lyrics I listened to him non stop when I was a teenager I never really took the lyrics on board I just loved listening to song after song…my daughter now plays the same song over and over I remember drove my parents mad now I smile and laugh I remember well its just the volume ha ha   Xx

I’ve got some lyrics I want to post but the album sleeve is in my car downstairs and I can’t be arsed to go downstairs !! Will do it tomorrow. It’s a lovely song about mothers and daughters and it makes me think of you sometimes. Jxx

ah Xx thank you X Today I am group leader at a holiday club. Its a club ran by the churches in this area should be fun my daughter has been put in a different group she’ll goooooooooooooooo MAD ! ha ha we’ll see Xx

Morning - Holiday Club sounds fun - can I join am on holiday this week !! Your daughter will probably be pleased she’s in a different group - a little bit of independence… I am off to look at newish cars today. I keep telling myself that I would save money in the long run and that I will have to get rid of my elderly Focus soon or it won’t be worth anything. Will see .....  Weather looks good for the week.

Cookie for the day - ” Love is the only medicine for a broken heart”  Ha ! A repeat prescription !

Jxx

A whole morning of listening to Radio 2 - what a luxury !

“The butterfly that lives a day has lived eternity”  T S Elliot

I mean no hard feelings can’t change what is…I know in my heart my time shall come…meet somebody nice..new..kind and somebody who put up with my annoying ways. I know happiness is around the corner I just need to be patient. No what if’s just what is and I feel blessed with friends in the now accepting my pain is for the greater good..its gets better ..it always has, always will.Be patient kind and true and all good things come to you..my moto my karma ..my belief ..its on its way Xx My ex husband is being really kind to me he said I have no family and I am the kindest person he has ever met and he cant walk away until I am able to look after myself and he not worry about me being crushed and broken Xx I thought that was kind he is like a warm kind friend…so kind…thats my karma ..He knows I wouldn’t crush him I wouldn’t destroy him…I now am richer with his kindest and I have peace. Beautiful peace, I hope he finds a nice girl Xx

Tom Jones - What Good Am I ?

What good am I ?
If I’m like all the rest
If I just turn away
When I see how you’re dressed
If I shut myself off
So I can’t hear you cry
What good am I?

What good am I?
If I know and don’t do
If I see and don’t say
If I look straight through you
If I turn a deaf ear
To the thundering sky

What good am I ?
While you softly weep
And I hear in my head
What you say in your sleep
And I freeze in the moment
Like the rest who don’t try
What good am I?
What good am I ?

What good am I then ?
To others and me
If I’ve had every chance
And yet you still fail to see
If my hands tied must I
Not wonder within
Who tied them and why
And where must I have been

What good am I then ?
If I say foolish things
And I laugh in the face
of what sorrow brings
And I just turn my back
While you silently die
What good am I ?
What good am I ?
What good am I ?
