    The Damned's DOZEN GIRLS was, in fact, written about me.

    won't you tell me the reason why

    he goes out , almost every night?

    he never goes too far,he's always

    the one who's got it right

    chorus

    he's got charm

    he's got style

    he's got a dozen girls

    tell me why,i don't know why

    he's got a dozen girls

    now he's always the one with all the hooks

    when it comes to making it with you

    now i would be there in his place if only

    i knew what it is i had to do

    repeat chorus twice

    he's alright and he dont care,he' got thermal underwear (repeat several times)

    No. I wouldn't even entertain the idea unless the song was clearly about me. It would have to call me by my full name and account for everything specifically.

    Besides even if they did write it I would never hear it as listening to music is not one of my pasttimes. :pac:

    'Now Im relieved to hear
    That youve been to some far out places
    Its hard to carry on
    When you feel all alone
    Now Ive swung back down again
    Its worse than it was before
    If I hadnt seen such riches
    I could live with being poor
    Oh sit down
    Sit down next to me
    Sit down, down, down, down, down
    In sympathy'

    Sit down by 'James'

    You walked into the party
    Like you were walking onto a yacht
    Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
    Your scarf it was apricot
    You had one eye in the mirror
    As you watched yourself gavotte
    And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner
    They'd be your partner, and

    You're so vain
    You probably think this song is about you
    You're so vain
    I'll bet you think this song is about you
    Don't you? Don't you?

    Carly Simon - You're So Vain

    If I'm gonna cry, will you wipe away my tears?
    And if I'm gonna die, Lord please take away my fear
    Before I drown in sorrow, I just want to say;
    How will I laugh tomorrow, when I can't even smile today

    New Model Army - Green And Grey

    The time I think most clearly
    The time I drift away
    Is on the busride that meanders
    Up these valleys of green and grey
    I get to think about what might have been
    And what may yet come true
    And I get to pass a rainy mile
    Thinking of you

    And all the while, all the while
    I still hear that call
    To the land of gold and poison
    That beckons to us all

    Nothing changes here very much
    I guess you'd say it never will
    The pubs are all full on Friday nights
    And things get started stillWe spent hours last week with Billy boy
    Bleeding, yeah queueing in consualtyStaring at those posters we used to laugh
    at
    Never never land, palm trees by the sea

    Well there was no need for those guys
    To hurt him so bad
    When all they had to do
    Was knock him down
    But no one asks to many questions like that anymore
    Since you left this town

    And tomorrow brings another train
    Another young brave steals away
    But you're the one I remember
    From these valleys of green and the grey

    You used to talk about winners and losers
    All the time - as if that was all there wasAs if we were not of the same blood
    family
    As if we live by different laws
    Do you owe so much less to these
    Rain swept hills
    Than you owe to your good self
    Is it true that the world has always got
    To be something that always seems
    To happen - somewhere else
    For God's sake don't you realise
    That I still hear that call
    Do you think you're so brave
    Just to go running
    To that wicked beckons to us all

    And tomorrow brings another train
    Another young brave steals away
    But you're the one I remember
    From these valleys of green and the grey

    No, not for one secondDid you look behind you
    As you were walking away
    Never once did you wish any of us well
    Those who had chosen to stay
    And if that's what it takes to make it
    In the place that you live today
    Then I guess you'll never read these
    Letters that I send From the valleys of the green and the grey

    and i like the next one cos i'm a fisherman
    New Model Army - Marry The Sea


    In the tall grass upon the dune
    He rests his head on you
    It's a warm wind and a faded sky
    You watch him drifting far away
    Dreaming, drowning

    Did you marry a man who married the sea?
    He looks right through you to the distant grey
    Calling, calling

    Tried to build a wall of sand
    It flows like water through your hand

    Did you marry a man who married the sea?
    He looks right through you to the distant grey
    Calling, calling

    Perhaps it's the color of the sun cut flat
    An' cov'rin' the crossroads I'm standing at,
    Or maybe it's the weather or something like that,
    But mama, you been on my mind.

    I don't mean trouble, please don't put me down, don’t get upset,
    I am not pleading or saying that "I can't forget you."
    I do not pace the floor bowed down and bent, but yet,
    Mama, you been on my mind.

    Even though my eyes is hazy and my thoughts they might be narrow,
    Where you been don't bother me or bring me down in sorrow.
    I don't even mind who you'll be waking with tomorrow,
    But mama, you're just on my mind.

    I am not askin' you to say words like "yes" or "no,"
    Please understand me, I have no place I’m callin’ you to go.
    I'm just whispering to myself so I can't pretend that I don't know,
    Mama, you been on my mind.

    When you wake up in the mornin' and look inside your mirror,
    You know I won't be next to you, no, I won't be near.
    I'd just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
    As someone who has had you on his mind.

    Jeff Buckley's version of " mama you've been on my mind"

    It was part of our experiment
    Went you said go and I went
    like a gooseberry on Noah's ark

    I watched them file in two by two
    And I set sail without you
    And we were carried on the flood of your tears

    Time pulls a face when I'm next to you
    Let's hope the wind changes
    Time pulled a face when I'm next to you
    Let's hope the wind changes

    Now I'm looking for dry land
    As all this crying subsides
    But I'm like Columbus in India

    I'm a little all over the shop
    Like those Holy souvenirs from Knock
    that come all the way from China

    Time pulls a face when I'm next to you
    Let's hope the wind changes
    Time pulled a face when I'm next to you
    Let's hope the wind changes

    'Cos we'd be stuck in this place
    For an age or two
    I hope the wind changes
    And the vacuum in space will draw me to you
    I hope the wind changes

    I'm not over you, can I get back under

    Bell x1 "next to you"

    This song:
    Were no strangers to love
    You know the rules and so do i
    A full commitments what Im thinking of
    You wouldnt get this from any other guy

    I just wanna tell you how Im feeling
    Gotta make you understand

    never gonna give you up
    Never gonna let you down
    Never gonna run around and desert you
    Never gonna make you cry
    Never gonna say goodbye
    Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

    Weve know each other for so long
    Your hearts been aching
    But youre too shy to say it
    Inside we both know whats been going on
    We know the game and were gonna play it

    And if you ask me how Im feeling
    Dont tell me youre too blind to see

    Give you up. give you up
    Give you up, give you up
    Never gonna give
    Never gonna give, give you up
    Never gonna give
    Never gonna give, five you up

    I just wanna tell you how Im feeling
    Gotta make you understand

    I would like to leave this city this old town don't smell to pretty
    And I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
    And when I leave this island I'll book myself into a soul asylum
    Cos' I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
    So here I go still scratching around in the same old hole
    My body feels young but my mind is very o--old
    So what do you say you can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
    Half the world away half the world away half the world away
    I've been lost I've been found but i don't feel down.

    OPENROAD

    My life is extraordinary bare,i fought the fear and chased the pain,
    My life doesn't need to be explained,
    I chose to walk this life as one.
    Sometimes as i live upon my island,
    Cut off from emotion and it's pain,
    That's when i am tempted by the waters,the waters that can take me far away


    So i'll just keep on walking down this open road,
    Hoping someone somewhere needs me
    So i'll just keep on walking down this open road,
    Talking to the man who knows me,
    The man is me

    My life was once full of people's faces,
    Brought to me by love which isn't strange.
    My life had the goodness of blue waters,
    A day's a day for all i used to say,
    Sometimes i can sit and cry my heart out,
    Drowning in my autocratic ways
    That's when i am tempted by the waters,the waters that can take me far away

    My life is now full of people's faces,
    Within the light of change i pulled away,
    My life shows that "no man is an island"
    I've exchanged the piece of life i cut away
    Now you won't see me walking down that open road,
    I've found someone who needs me,
    No you won't see me walking down that open road,
    I've found at last the man who knows me,
    Yes, he knows me,
    The man was me.
