Day 21 - Song by The Doors
The Crystal Ship
'Before you slip into unconsciousness
I'd like to have another kiss
Another flashing chance at bliss
Another kiss'
'The crystal ship is being filled
A thousand girls, a thousand thrills'
Crazy to think that Chelsea spent 700m pounds in one season 20 years ago before inflation, and if that never happened, Arsenal wouldn't have lost to them in the Champions League Quarter Finals🫤
Manchester City have the most charges against them, but Abramovich started this mess
#DecGoldenYears
1974
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama
Well I heard Mister Young sing about her
Well I heard ol' Neil put her down
Well I hope Neil Young will remember
A southern man don't need him around anyhow
#JulyWordSongs
Day 18 - Easy
The Beatles - Strawberry Fields Forever
'Living is easy with eyes closed
Misunderstanding all you see
Its getting hard to be someone but it all works out
It doesn't matter much to me
Let me take you down
Cause I'm going to...'

Carole King - Tapestry
Favorite Tracks:
You've Got a Friend

Natural Woman
I Feel The Earth Move
#TimelyTunes
Led Zeppelin - Immigrant Song
We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow
The hammer of the gods
Will drive our ships to new lands
To fight the horde, sing and cry
Valhalla, I am coming
Games in hands and bla bla bla, Emery's Aston Villa are in 5th place after being in danger of relegation when he took the reigns in October, probably nothing

Day 27 - Swimming Pool in Movie
The Big Lebowski (1998)
Are you sure he won't mind?
"Uli doesn't care about anything. He's a Nihilist."
#JulyWordSongs

Sheryl Crow-My Favorite Mistake
I uploaded my favorite part❤️
'Well maybe nothing lasts forever
Even when you stay together
I don't need forever after, but it's your laughter
Won't let me go so I'm holding on this way'
#AtoZNamesInSongs
Day 23 - W
Bob Dylan - Blind Willie McTell
There's a chain gang on the highway
I can hear them rebells yell
And I know no one can sing the blues
Like blind Wille McTell
#AnimalSingdom
Bear
The Bare Necessities - Phil Harris & Bruce Reitherman
Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
That's why a bear can rest at ease
With just the bare necessities of life
#LifeInSongs
Grow
The Beatles-Something
Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I dont need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me
I dont want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
Youre askin me will my love grow
I dont know, I dont know
#AToZNamesInSongs
August 8 - H
Walk On The Wild Side - Lou Reed
Holly came from Miami, F.L.A.
Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She says, "Hey, babe
Take a walk on the wild side"
#JulyWordSongs
Rest
Bob Dylan
'If I pass this way again, you can rest assured
I’ll always do my best for her on that I give my word
In a world of steel-eyed death and men who are fighting to be warm
Come in, she said, I’ll give you shelter from the storm'
#AtoZNamesInSongs
Day 5 - E
Come On Eileen - Dexys Midnight Runners
These people round here
Were beaten down, eyes sunk in smoke-dried face
They're resigned to what their fate is
But not us (no, never)
No not us (no, never)
We are far too young and clever
Lisandro Martinez is 5 ft 9. Kolo Toure, one of Arsenal's best central defenders ever is 5 ft 10. He also seems to be a good back up solution for Tierney at left back and Partey in defensive midfield, currently two of our most injury prone players. What's not to like about him?
#JulyWordSongs
Day 15 - Summer
Oasis - Don't Look Back in Anger
'Step outside cause summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
Cause you ain't ever gonna burn my heart out'
#FForFebMusicChallenge
Boy's Name Starting with F
Bob Dylan - Ballad of a Thin Man
You've been with the professors and they've all liked your looks
With great lawyers you have discussed lepers and crooks
You've been through all F. Scott Fitzgerald's books
#JulyWordSongs
Day 16 - Wedding
Leaving on a Jet Plane, written by John Denver. Here he is performing a live version with Cass Elliot

Every song I sing, I'll sing for you

Day 25 - On the Phone
Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995)
As I was going to St-Ives, I met a man with 7 wives, every wife had 7 sacks, every sack had 7 cats, every cat had 7 kittens. Kittens, cats, sacks and wives, how many were going to St-Ives?
#AtoZNamesInSongs
Day 3 - C
Lou Reed - Caroline Says II
Caroline says
as she gets up from the floor
You can hit me all you want to
but I don't love you anymore
#LifeInSongs
Day 13 - Learn
Alanis Morissette - You Learn
I recommend biting off more than you can chew to anyone
I recommend sticking your foot in your mouth at any time
Throw it down
Hold it up
You wait and see when the smoke clears
You live, you learn
#LifeInSongs
Wife
The Velvet Underground - Heroin
Heroin, be the death of me
Heroin, it's my wife and it's my life
Because a mainer to my vein
Leads to a center in my head
And then I'm better off than dead
#AnimalSingdom
Crocodile
Bob Dylan-Shelter From the Storm
I was burned out from exhaustion
Buried in the hail
Poisoned in the bushes
& blown out on the trail
Hunted like a crocodile
Ravaged in the corn
Come in she said I'll give ya
Shelter from the storm
#JulyWordSongs
Day 24-Sale
Bob Dylan-Subterranean Homesick Blues
Get sick, get well, hang around a ink well
Hang bail, hard to tell if anything is gonna 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐥
Try hard, get barred, get back, ride rail
Get jailed, jump bail, join the Army if you fail

Day 3 - Caregiver in Movie
Rain Man (1988)
Charlie, who initially assumes the role of Raymond's caregiver for money, is seen here trying to help his brother enter a farmhouse to get a chance to watch The People's Court:
"One Minute to Wapner!"
#LifeInSongs
Day 2 - Cry
Cake - The Guitar Man
Then you listen to the music and you'd like to sing along
And you want to get the meaning out of each and every song
And you find yourself a message and some words to call your own and take 'em home
#LifeInSongs
Walk
Nirvana-The Man Who Sold The World
I laughed and shook his hand
And made my way back home
I searched for foreign land
For years & years I roamed
I gazed a gazely stare
We walked a million hills
I must have died alone
A long long time ago
#LifeInSongs
Sick
Jim Morrison & The Doors - The Severed Garden/Feast Of Friends
Wow, I’m sick of doubt
Live in the light of certain
South's cruel bindings
The servants have the power
Dog-men and their mean women
Pulling poor blankets over our sailors
I’m sick of dour faces
#LifeInSongs
Granddad
Handbags & Gladrags (Cover)
Music: Big George
Vocals: Fin Muir
Theme From The Office UK [full version]
So what becomes of you my love
When they have finally stripped you of
The handbags and the gladrags
That your granddad had to sweat so you could buy?
#FForFebMusicChallenge
Five
Drew Carey Show (The Vogues) - Five O'Clock World
Any excuse to post this gem:
It's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows
No-one owns a piece of my time
And there's a long-haired girl who waits, I know
To ease my troubled mind
#AtoZNamesInSongs
Day 13 - M (Maria)
Counting Crows - Round Here
Round here, she's always on my mind
Round here, I got lots of time
Round here we're never sent to bed early
And nobody makes us wait
Round here we stay up very, very, very, very late
#LifeInSongs
Day 3-Mother
The Doors - The End
This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes again
#LifeInSongs
Write
Fats Waller-I'm Gonna Sit Right Down
I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
And make believe it came from you
Im gonna write words so sweet
Theyre gonna knock me off my feet
A lotta kisses on the bottom
I'll be glad I got em
A lot of credit has been rightly been given to signing Gabriel Jesus and the return of Saliba, but the journey to the top started when Arsenal signed Ødegaard and Ramsdale 💯
#AToZNamesInSongs
Day 9-I
Goo Goo Dolls-Iris
I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven I'll ever be
And I don't wanna go home right now
All I can taste is this moment
All I can breathe is your life
#AlbumCoverObjects
June 27 : Black Object
The Doors - Strange Days (1967)
The whole album is pretty much great, my favorites are People are Strange, When The Music's Over, Love Me Two Times and Moonlight Drive
#LifeInSongs
Day 7 - Crawl
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Scar Tissue
Soft-spoken with a broken jaw
Step outside but not to brawl and
Autumn's sweet, we call it fall
I'll make it to the moon if I have to crawl and
With the birds, I'll share this lonely view
#LifeInSongs
Moon
The Doors-Ghost Song
Choose they crooned the ancient ones
The time has come again
Choose now they croon beneath the moon
Beside an ancient lake
Enter again the sweet forest
Enter the hot dream
Come with us
Everything is broken up & dances
