These Songs Always Put Me In A Good Mood...

[arwalden]

... which one do you like best?

What song always puts YOU in a good mood?


Downtown

When you're alone
And life is making you lonely,
You can always go downtown
When you've got worries,
All the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know, downtown
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares and go
Downtown, things'll be great when you're
Downtown, no finer place for sure,
Downtown, everything's waiting for you
Downtown...


Georgy Girl

Hey there, Georgy girl
Swingin' down the street so fancy-free
Nobody you meet could ever see
The loneliness there inside you
Hey there, Georgy girl
Why do all the boys just pass you by?
Could it be you just don't try
Or is it the clothes you wear?

You're always window shopping
But never stopping to buy
So shed those dowdy feathers
And fly a little bit
Hey there, Georgy girl
There's another Georgy deep inside
Bring out all the love you hide and,
Oh, what a change there'd be
The world would see a new Georgy girl

6. More Today Than Yesterday - Spiral Staircase

don’t remember what day it was
I didn’t notice what time it was
All I know is that I fell in love with you
And if all my dreams come true
I’ll be spending time with you
Every day’s a new day in love with you
With each day comes a new way of loving you
Every time I kiss your lips my mind starts to wonder
And if all my dreams come true
I’ll be spending time with you

Oh I love you more today than yesterday
But not as much as tomorrow
Oh I love you more today than yesterday
But darling not as much as tomorrow

Tommorrow makes each springtime just a day away
Cupid we don’t need you now be on your way
I thank the lord for love like ours that grows ever stronger
And I always will be true
I’ll be spending time with you

Oh I love you more today than yesterday
But not as much as tomorrow
Oh I love you more today than yesterday
But darling not as much as tomorrow

Every day’s a new day, every time I love ya
Every time’s a new way, every time I love ya...
Very day’s a new day, every time I love ya
Every time’s a new way, every time I love ya...
Every time I love ya...


LOOKING OUT MY BACK DOOR - CCR

Just got home from illinois, lock the front door, oh boy!
Got to sit down, take a rest on the porch.
Imagination sets in, pretty soon I’m singin’,

Chorus:
Doo, doo, doo, lookin’ out my back door.

There’s a giant doing cartwheels, a statue wearin’ high heels.
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn.
A dinosaur victrola list’ning to buck owens.

Chorus

Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band.
Won’t you take a ride on the flyin’ spoon?
Doo, doo doo.
Wond’rous apparition provided by magician.

Chorus

Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band.
Won’t you take a ride on the flyin’ spoon?
Doo, doo doo.
Bother me tomorrow, today, I’ll buy no sorrows.

Chorus

Forward troubles illinois, lock the front door, oh boy!
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn.
Bother me tomorrow, today, I’ll buy no sorrows.


RAISED ON ROBBERY - Joni Mitchell

He was sitting in the lounge of the empire hotel
He was drinking for diversion
He was thinking for himself
A little money riding on the maple leafs
Along comes a lady in lacy sleeves
She says...
Let me sit down
You know, drinkin’ alone’s a shame
It’s a shame, it’s a crying shame
Look at those jokers
Glued to that damn hockey game
Hey honey-you’ve got lots of cash
Bring us round a bottle
And we’ll have some laughs
Gin’s what I’m drinking
I was raised on robbery

I’m a pretty good cook
I’m sitting on my groceries
Come up to my kitchen
I’ll show you my best recipe
I try and I try but I can’t save a cent
I’m up after midnight, cooking
Trying to make my rent
I’m rough but I’m pleasin’
I was raised on robbery

We had a little money once
They were pushing through a four lane highway
Government gave us three thousand dollars
You should have seen it fly away
First he bought a ’57 biscayne
He put it in the ditch
He drunk up all the rest
That son of a bitch
His blood’s bad whiskey
I was raised on robbery

You know you ain’t bad looking
I like the way you hold your drinks
Come home with me honey
I ain’t asking for no full length mink
Hey, where you going...
Don’t go yet...
Your glass ain’t empty and we just met
You’re mean when your loaded-
I was raised on robbery

9. Did your power go out this afternoon?

When the thunderboomers moved in? Ours were out for about 90 minutes; it was scary there for awhile..

[u4ic]

10. Wow

no, mine didn't, but we barely even got any rain - just an incredible wind. I've just moved to the south end, but a friend in the north end said they had quite the storm up there.

Hopefully it wasn't in the middle of a recording...

11. no, thank goodness

Just surfing the net; as soon as I heard the warnings I stopped for the day..
