Song Of The Day!

Ah, I wish they still made music like this... I regularly get this song looping around in my head for hours and it's impossible not to sing along. As a result, I've honed a pretty spectacular Jackie Wilson impression. Minus the ability to sing... (I've actually never seen the video before - I'll have to start practising his moves as well.)

(Shoo bee doo bop, bop, bow.)
(Shoo bee doo bop, bop, bow.)
(Shoo bee doo bop, bop, bow.)

My heart is crying, crying.
Lonely teardrops, my pillow's never dry of lonely teardrops.
Come home, come home.
Just say you will, say you will.
(Say you will,) say you will, (say you will.)
Hey, hey. (say you will.)
My heart is crying, crying.

Lonely teardrops, my pillow's never dry of lonely teardrops.
Come home, come home.
Just say you will, say you will.
(Say you will,) say you will, (say you will.)
Hey, hey. (Say you will.)

Just give me another chance for our romance.
Come on and tell me that one day you'll return.
'Cause, every day that you've been gone away, 
You know my heart does nothing but burn, crying.

Lonely teardrops my pillow's never dry of lonely teardrops.
Come home, come home.
Just say you will, say you will.
(Say you will,) say you will, (say you will.)
Hey, hey. (say you will.)
Say it right now, baby.
(Say you will.) Come on, come on.
Say it right now, baby.
(Say you will.) Come on, come on.
Say it right now, baby.

Song Of The Day!

Seeing as we're pretending that I posted the Matt Corby song yesterday, this is today's song of the day! I looove Cash, Diamond Rings, Swimming Pools and can't stop singing it, D E N A reminds me of some sort of European M.I.A. The music video is really cool too, it's set in a market and gets everyone involved. Looks like it would've been insanely fun to make. There is something about her that annoys me intensely... Perhaps her chains and overly 'urban' swag she's got going on that make it look like she thinks she's the shit. ANYWAY, props to her. It is a very catchy tune.




Cash, diamond rings, swimming pools
Cash, diamond rings, swimming pools, 
Cash, one thing I got in the hood, 
Diamond rings I don't need them, 
All I want is chill with my friends by the swimming pools. 

Sun is something that is here not, 
Walking in the cold and imagine that it's hot. 
Winter's too long and summer's too short, 
Nothing in between, I'm always wanting more. 

Hanging here and wishing to be there, 
Ending up with not really being anywhere. 
I know that the grass is always greener on the other side, 
Nothing I can do about it when I'm not satisfied. 

2 x Hook: 
Cash, diamond rings, swimming pools, 
Cash, one thing I got in the hood, 
Diamond rings I don't need them, 
All I want is chill with my friends by the swimming pools. 
 
If you're listening to this in a hot country 
Please come rescue me, I'ma give you what you need. 
I will bring my friends, we're just about twenty, 
If you got a swimming pool, then we can be hanging. 

Cash, diamond rings, swimming pools, 
Cash, one thing I got in the hood, 
Diamond rings I don't need them, 
All I want is chill with my friends by the swimming pools. 

Cash, diamond rings, swimming pools, 
Cash, diamond rings, swimming pools, 
Cash, diamond rings, swimming pools, 
Cash, diamond rings, swimming pools... 

All I want is chill, all I want is chill, 
All I want is chill and all I want is chill, 
All I want is chill, all I want is chill, 
All I want is chill with my friends by the swimming pools. 


P.S. I'm pretty sure I'm the first person to bring you the correct lyrics to this song. The only submission elsewhere I found thought she was saying 'If you listen me in the half country' instead of 'If you're listening to this in a hot country'... You're welcome!

Song Of The Day!

We'll pretend I posted this yesterday, because I may have forgotten...
I did blog about Matt Corby ages ago, basically ranting about how sex oozes from every inch of his surface area. This definitely has not changed and I get to see it in person because I'm going to see him live in Leeds in November!! I am incredibly excited, I will probably be weeping in the first five minutes...
This song, Big Eyes, is my favourite Corby tune at the moment. The acoustic loveliness of Matt Corby's and Bree Tranter's voices together with the dulcet tones of Matt's guitar soothes my soul. If this song was a river, it would be made of chocolate and I would happily drown in it.


Blackout the light,
Maybe you're tired fall
Or stone cold. 
You fumble and fight 
With all the time you spend alone. 

Cause it's only fair, 
It's love and war, 
And darkness is all you'll ever know 
If I don't love you more. 

Keep in your cage, 
Withered by ageing eyes and skin. 
You call this your home, 
A colourful dragging dried up drone. 

Cause it's only fair, 
It's love and war, 
And darkness is all you'll ever know, 
Oh darkness is all you'll ever know, 
Darkness is all you'll ever know 
If I don't love you more. 

Loveless sorrow kindly borrowed, 
Only thing my soul's now hollow. 
Loveless sorrow kindly borrowed, 
Only thing my soul's now hollow. 

Cause it's only fair, 
It's love and war, 
And darkness is all you'll ever know 
If I don't love you more.
