"Blue Velvet"

She wore Blue Velvet
Bluer than velvet was the night
Softer than satin was the light
From the stars

She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet were her eyes
Warmer than May her tender sighs
Love was ours

Ours a love I held tightly
Feeling the rapture grow
Like a flame burning brightly
But when she left gone was the glow of

Blue Velvet
But in my heart there'll always be
Precious and warm a memory through the years
And I still can see Blue Velvet through my tears

 

[E&Cmom]

Don't it make my Brown Eyes Blue- Crystal Gayle

Don't know when I've been so blue
Don't know what's come over you
You've found someone new and
Don't it make my brown eyes blue

I'll be fine when you're gone
I'll just cry all night long
Say it isn't true and
Don't it make my brown eyes blue

Tell me no secrets, tell me some lies
Give me no reasons, give me alibies
Tell me you love me and don't let me cry
Say anything but don't say goodbye

I didn't mean to treat you bad
Didn't know just what I had
But honey now I do
And don't it make my brown eyes
Don't it make my brown eyes
Don't it make my brown eyes blue

Pink Cadillac - Bruce Springsteen

 

[cijay]

It is time for us all to decide who we are
Do we fight for the right to a night at the opera now?
Have you asked of ourselves...what's the price you might pay?
Is it simply a game for rich young boys to play
The colour of the world is changing day by day
Red! The blood angry men
Black! The dark of ages past
Red! A world about to dawn
Black! The night that ends at last!

OK, I want you all to come up with songs naming chartreuse, magenta and puce as your punishment.

MAGENTA
Longing for winter
Longing for cold
Bike ride through the snow
Blinded by darkness
Summer flows to the cemetery slow
And pink versus black, black versus magenta
This picture of you just melts in my agenda
While seasons change you know
Yes, seasons change you know with the flow

Days just shorten, days just glow
This fire keeps us warm
While this storm will uncover
Our secret place called 'The Cemetery Dawn'
And pink versus black, black versus magenta
This picture of you just melts in my agenda
While seasons change you know
Yes, seasons change you know

Look left
With the flow
Look down
Look up
Look right
You're camoflagued by a wall of blue red womb
Turn the world magenta

CHARTREUSE
Chartreuse
You got the color that turns me loose
Chartreuse
That color just turns me loose
Better than Magenta (extra mention)
Better than Fuchia
You got a shade that gets rid of the blues.

Chocolate mousse
Don't you know I like big Caboose
Chocolate mousse
You know I like that big Caboose
Its sure sweet,
Lights my fuse
Its sure sweet,
Lights my fuse

Chartreuse
That color just turns me loose
Chartreuse
You got the color that turns me loose

Chartreuse

You got the blues baby
I got the juice
You got the blues baby
Remember, I got the juice

Chartreuse

Angels Want to Wear My Red Shoes
Elvis Costello

Oh I used to be disgusted
and now I try to be amused.
But since their wings have got rusted,
you know, the angels wanna wear my red shoes.
But when they told me 'bout their side of the bargain,
that's when I knew that I could not refuse.
And I won't get any older, now the angels wanna wear my red shoes.
I was watching while you're dancing away.
Our love got fractured in the echo and sway.
How come everybody wants to be your friend?
You know that it still hurts me just to say it.

Oh, I know that she's disgusted (oh why's that)
Cause she's feeling so abused. (oh that's too bad)
She gets tired of the lust, (oh I'm so sad)
but it's so hard to refuse.
How can you say that I'm too old,
when the angels have stolen my red shoes.

Oh, I said "I'm so happy, I could die."
She said "Drop dead," then left with another guy.
That's what you get if you go chasing after vengeance.
Ever since you got me punctured this has been my sentence.
Oh I used to be disgusted
and now I try to be amused.
But since their wings have got rusted,
you know, the angels wanna wear my red shoes.
Red shoes, the angels wanna wear my red shoes.

Loving You has Made me Bananas

...
Oh, your red scarf matches your eyes
You closed your cover before striking
Father had the shipfitter blues
Loving you has made me bananas.

Oh, you burned your fingers that evening
While my back was turned.
I asked the waiter for iodine
But I dined all alone.

Frank Zappa - Don't Eat The Yellow Snow

Dreamed I was an Eskimo
Frozen wind began to blow
Under my boots and around my toes
The frost that bit the ground below
It was a hundred degrees below zero...

And my mama cried
And my mama cried
Nanook, a-no-no
Nanook, a-no-no
Don't be a naughty Eskimo
Save your money, don't go to the show

Well I turned around and I said "Oh, oh" Oh
Well I turned around and I said "Oh, oh" Oh
Well I turned around and I said "Ho, Ho"
And the northern lights commenced to glow
And she said, with a tear in her eye
"Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow"
"Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow"
