'Bell, Book and Candle'

Hello Loves,
Long time no see. I've been unwell after a trip to Whitby where I had some dodgy mussels. I'm back on my feet now and feeling chipper. So here's a little ditty at Wayne's behest. He says the Eddi Reader version is good too if you can find it but this chap, Boo....(by heck! I ask you, will they ever learn?) wrote the song with Eddi. I quite like it and it mentions ghosts...spooky! Enjoy!






'Bell, Book and Candle' - Boo Hewerdine

The blue around the morning moon
The colour of your eyes
I remember holding you
Fall through summer skies
You're everything that I've become, every word I say
I need a bell, book and candle to keep your ghost away
White horses on a troubled sea
Your smile will flash through time
Up ahead a blackbird's wing
Your hair will come to mind
Every night I see your face when I have to pray
I need a bell, book and candle to keep your ghost away
Keep your ghost away, keep your ghost away
I need a bell, book and candle to keep your ghost away
Just before the thunder roars
I sense you next to me
And as I move through nature
I know where you will be
So I must keep myself apart,here is where I'll stay
With a bell, book and candle to keep your ghost away

'The Only Living Boy in New York'

'The Only Living Boy in New York' - Everything But The Girl

Tom, get your plane right on time.
I know your part'll go fine.
Fly down to Mexico.
Da-n-da-da-n-da-n-da-da and here I am,
The only living boy in New York.
I get the news I need on the weather report.
I can gather all the news I need on the weather report.
Hey, I've got nothing to do today but smile.
Da-n-da-da-n-da-da-n-da-da here I am
The only living boy in New York
Half of the time we're gone but we don't know where,
And we don't know here.
Tom, get your plane right on time.
I know you've been eager to fly now.
Hey let your honesty shine, shine, shine
Da-n-da-da-n-da-da-n-da-da
Like it shines on me
The only living boy in New York,
The only living boy in New York.

'For Good'

'For Good' (From the Musical Show Wicked) - Kristen Chenowith

I've heard it said that people come into our lives
for a reason
bringing something we must learn
and we are led to those who help us most to grow
if we let them and we help them in return
well I don't know if I believe that's true but I know I'm who I am today because I knew you...
like a comet pulled from orbit as it passes the sun,
like a stream that meets a boulder halfway through the wood...
who can say if I've been changed for the better
because I knew you
I have been changed for good
It well may be that we will never meet again in this lifetime
so let me say before we part:
so much of me is made of what I have learned from you
you'll be with me, like a handprint on my heart
now whatever way our stories end
I know you have rewritten mine by being my friend...
Like a ship blown from it's mooring by a wind off the sea
like a seed dropped by a skybird in a distant wood
who can say if I've been changed for the better
because I knew you...
I have been changed for good
And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness for what you blame me for...
but then I guess there is blame to share...
And none of it seems to matter anymore
Like a comet pulled from orbit as it passes the sun
like a stream that meets a boulder halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better
I do believe I have been changed for the better
because I knew you
because I knew you
I have been changed for good

'Whenever You're Away From Me'

'Whenever You're Away From Me' - Olivia Newton John and Gene Kelly

No other face would take you off my mind
You're so refined
You're much too kind
I have to warn you I'm never gonna set you free
'Cause I was born to
Love you for eternity
Whenever you're away from me
Wherever you go
You're never far away from me
I want you to know
I only have to close my eyes dear
And suddenly I'm where you are
You better never stray
Cos I'll never be far away
On every breeze I seem to hear your name
My heart's aflame
I feel the same
I'd fall apart dear if you let the feelin' end
Don't break a heart dear that nobody else could mend
Whenever you're away from me
Wherever you go
You're never far away from me
I want you to know
I only have to close my eyes dear
And suddenly I'm where you are
You better never stray
Cos I'll never be far away

'Willow Tit Willow Tit Willow'

'Bubbly'

'Bubbly' - Colbie Caillat

I've been awake for a while now
You've got me feelin' like a child now
'Cause every time I see your bubbly face
I get the tingles in a silly place
It starts in my toes
And I crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go
The rain is fallin' on my window pane
But we are hidin' in a safer place
Under the covers stayin' safe and warm
You give me feelings that I adore
They start in my toes
Make me crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go
What am I gonna say
When you make me feel this way?
I just, mmm
It starts in my toes
Makes me crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go
I've been asleep for a while now
You tucked me in just like a child now
'Cause every time you hold me in your arms
I'm comfortable enough to feel your warmth
It starts in my soul
And I lose all control
When you kiss my nose
The feelin' shows
'Cause you make me smile
Baby just take your time now
Holdin' me tight
Wherever, wherever, where ever you go
Wherever, wherever, where ever you go

'You Raise Me Up'

Hello Love,
Now this is more like it! This is a lovely song...and this Brian fella sounds like you could take him home to your mother, lovely enunciation!
Wayne loves Brian and recommends you try and seek out more of his songs especially "Christopher Street" and "Sea of Stars".
Enjoy.

'You Raise Me Up' - Secret Garden featuring Brian Kennedy

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up to more than I can be.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up to more than I can be.
There is no life no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
And I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up to more than I can be.
You raise me up to more than I can be.
