Have fun, as Ann Cole (see GOLQ112) sang in 1962 on the flip side of her only Hot 100 hit. There has been no change to the general rules, but please pay attention to them anyway. If you want GOLQs and their Results/Answers sent directly to you via e-mail, just send a message to golq-request@world.std.com consisting only of the word "subscribe" in the body, not the subject, of the message. Answers must be received by 5:00 PM ET on Tuesday, August 18, 1998. (The previously announced August 25 date was a mistake -- this date will give you the usual three weeks to prepare your entry.) Try to e-mail early since I don't know how long it takes to get here. E-mail (DO NOT POST) answers to: tuschano@cc.helsinki.fi -- once again let me emphasise the fact that your entries are supposed to reach only me, so if you see this in a newsgroup or other public forum, please don't do anything you're not sure about. I will acknowledge receipt of entries via e-mail. ________________________________________________________________________ Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #128 Songs #01-25 were from 1958 through 1969 Due 5:00 PM ET, Tuesday, August 18, 1998 ________________________________________________________________________ You know I work all day To get you money to buy you things And it's worth it just to hear you say You're gonna give me everything So why on earth should I moan 'Cause when I get you alone You know, I feel OK #01) Comme la vague irresolue Je vais, je vais et je viens Entre tes reins Je vais et je viens Entre tes reins Et je me retiens #02) Now there are no games To only pass the time No more electric trains No more trees to climb #03) I tell myself, "What's done is done" I tell myself, "Don't be a fool" "Play the field, have a lot of fun" "It's easy when you play it cool" I tell myself, "Don't be a chump" "Who cares, let him stay away" That's when the phone rings, and I jump And as I grab the phone, I pray #04) Well, my pad is very messy And there's whiskers on my chin And I'm all hung up on music And I always play to win #05) Yes, I just wanna see If it's really that expensive kind You know it balances on your head Just like a mattress balances On a bottle of wine #06) Our guardian star lost all its glow The day that I lost you He lost all his glitter the day you said no And his silver turned to blue #07) Afro music gives me the creeps #08) Up early in the morning with her on my mind Just to find out all night that I've been cryin' But I believe a woman's a man's best friend So I'm gonna stick by her 'til the very end But she causes so much misery I forget how love is supposed to be Somebody, somewhere, tell her it ain't fair #09) Ah, things got rough And you disappeared Now I'm back on my feet, but look Look who's standing there #10) Yeah, you and me We live this life From when we get up 'Til we go sleep at night #11) Well, singing honey, honey, honey, honey, honey Honey, honey, honey, honey, honey Honey, honey, honey, honey Honey, honey, honey, honey Honey, honey, honey, honey Honey, honey, honey #12) Crimson dress that clings so tight She's out of reach and out of sight #13) Every day things change And the world puts on a new face Certain things rearrange And this old world seems like a new place #14) You wear your hair in a poodle cut You're walkin' down the street like a silver bug But everybody knows you're so sweet You tickle me from head to my everlovin' feet #15) I close my eyes, then I drift away Into the magic night, I softly say A silent prayer like dreamers do Then I fall asleep to dream my dreams of you #16) Lettuce and ham Or maybe crumpets and jam Oh, baby, it'll be fun #17) Remember to kiss and caress me Honour and obey me in my every whim and fancy Seven days a week and twice on Sundays 'Cause at no time would I ever be tired of I-T, it #18) When you're near me I feel so romantic When you're far away I'm always blue If you want me to remain romantic Here are the things you'll have to do #19) I walk in shadows, searching for light Cold and alone, no comfort in sight Hoping and praying for someone to care Always moving and going nowhere #20) Tight khaki pants High button shoes He's always looking Like-a he got the blues #21) I don't want your lonely mansion With a tear in every room All I want's the love you've promised Beneath the halo moon #22) Success has come to lots of them And a failure's always there Time waits for no-one #23) Bring along some boxing gloves In case some fool might wanna fight #24) Looking in a room I see Things that mean a lot to me Why they do, I'll never know Memories don't strike me so #25) Tie-breakers: Went to college, studied art To be an artist, make a start Studied hard, gained my degree But no-one seemed to notice me #T1) I better warn you now Someday you'll find yourself alone (hey-hey-hey) And life's not pretty then Its ugliness will hide the sun I count the times that I've told you You really shouldn't try and I told you 'Cause, baby, you'll just cry for a shadow Believe me, baby, baby, baby #T2) -- "I have tried too, in my time, to be a philosopher; but, I don't know how, cheerfulness was always breaking in." --Oliver Edwards T P Uschanov tuschano@cc.helsinki.fi +358 (0)40 584 2720 Visit my home page! http://www.helsinki.fi/~tuschano/
