PLAY ME
Neil Diamond
Written by Neil Diamond

She was moring
And I was night time
I one day woke up
To find her lying
Beside my bed
I softly said
"Come take me"
For I've been lonely
In need of someone
As though I'd done
Someone wrong somewhere
I don't know where
Come lately

You are the sun
I am the moon
You are the words
I am the tune
Play me

Song she sang to me
Song she brang to me
Words that rang in me
Rhyme that sprang from me
Warmed the night
And what was right
Became me

You are the sun
I am the moon
You are the words
I am the tune
Play me

And so it was
That I came to travel
Upon a road
That was thorned and narrow
Another place
Another grace
Would save me

You are the sun
I am the moon
You are the word
I am the tune
Play me


BRING IT ON!!!!!!

 

[QuickDuck]

I got a song been on my mind
And the tune can be sung and the words all rhyme
Deedle-ee deet deet deet deet deet deet deet dee dee

Though it don't say much and it won't offend
If you sing it in school then they're liable to send you home
Never knowing what you're showin'
Think you're growin' your own tea
Good lord!

Drop your shrink and stop your drinkin'
Crunchy granola's neat
Sing it out
Alright
Da da da da
Da da da da da
Dee dee dee dum

I know a man was outta touch
And he'd hide in a house and he didn't say much
Deedle-ee deet deet deet deet deet deet deet dee doo

And like a man with a tiger outside his gate
Not only couldn't relax but he couldn't relate
Now he can
Family man
Tried my brand
Dig

Drop your shrink and stop your drinkin'
Crunchy granola's neat
Sing it out
Alright
Da da da da
Da da da da da
Dee dee dee do
Deedle-ee dum dum
I'll have a double, please

SWEET CAROLINE
Written by Neil Diamond
Where it began
I can't begin to knowin'
But then I know it's growing strong

Was in the spring
And spring became the summer
Who'd have believed you'd come along

Hands, touchin' hands
Reachin' out
Touchin' me
Touchin' you

Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would

But now I
Look at the night
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two
And when I hurt
Hurtin' runs off my shoulders
How can I hurt when I'm with you

Warm, touchin' warm
Reachin' out
Touchin' me
Touchin' you

Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
Oh, no, no

Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
Sweet Caroline

Cracklin' Rosie
Neil Diamond

Cracklin' Rosie, get on board
We're gonna ride till there ain't no more to go
Taking it slow
Lord, don't you know
Have me a time with a poor man's lady

Hitchin' on a twilight train
Ain't nothing there that I care to take along
Maybe a song
To sing when I want
Don't need to say please to no man for a happy tune

Oh, I love my Rosie child
She got the way to make me happy
You and me, we go in style
Cracklin' Rosie you're a store-bought woman
You make me sing like a guitar hummin'
So hang on to me, girl
Our song keeps runnin' on

Play it now
Play it now
Play it now, my baby

Cracklin' Rosie, make me a smile
God if it lasts for an hour, that's all right
We got all night
To set the world right
Find us a dream that don't asks no questions, yeah

Oh dear.... this was at the height of my father torturing me with his songs.

*sigh* turns U2 up loud*

 

[Pyper]

God, I HATE Neil Diamond. The song she brang to me?! Ugh.

 

[QuickDuck]

ermmm i think you will find that was someone else ... unless the version i know was a remake

 

[Freya]

Song sung blue
Everybody knows one
Song sung blue
Every garden grows one

Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
But when you take the blues and make a song
You sing them out again
Sing them out again

Song sung blue
Weeping like a willow
Song sung blue
Sleeping on my pillow

Funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice
And before you know, start to feeling good
You simply got no choice

GIRL, YOU'LL BE A WOMAN SOON
Neil Diamond
Written by Neil Diamond

Love you so much can't count all the ways
I'd die for you girl and all they can say is
"He's not your kind"
They never get tired of puttin' me down and
I never know when I come around
What I'm gonna find
Don't let them make up your mind
Don't you know

Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Soon, you'll need a man

I've been misunderstood for all of my life
But what they're sayin', girl, just cuts like a knife
"The boy's no good"

Well, I finally found what I've been lookin' for
But if they get a chance they'll end it for sure
Sure they would
Baby I've done all I could
it's up to you

Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Soon, you'll need a man

 

[Ezarc]

ermmm i think you will find that was someone else ... unless the version i know was a remake

I think Urge Overkill did the remake for the "Pulp Fiction" soundtrack.

Ok sorry to admit I know this. But Ducky you're thinking of a remake. Ez is right.

 

[QuickDuck]

Freya, I hate you... thats worse than Crunchy Granola

I shall get revenge with ...

SHILO
Written by Neil Diamond

Young child with dreams
Dream ev'ry dream on your own
When children play
seems like you end up alone

Papa says he'd love to be with you
If he had the time
So you turn on the only friend you can find
There in your mind

Shilo, when I was young
I used to call you name
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came
And we'd play

Young girl with fire
Something said she understood
I wanted to fly
She made me feel like I could

Held my hand out, and I let her take me
Blind as a child
All I saw was the way that she made me smile
She made me smile

Shilo, when I was young
I used to call you name
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came
And you'd stay

Had a dream, and it filled me with wonder
She had other plans
"Got to go, and I know that you'll understand"
I understand

Shilo, when I was young
I used to call you name
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came
Come today

 

[QuickDuck]

I think Urge Overkill did the remake for the "Pulp Fiction" soundtrack.

yup yup you are right

 

[Freya]

Money talks
But it don't sing and dance
And it don't walk
And long as I can have you here with me
I'd much rather be
Forever in blue jeans
Honey's sweet
But it ain't nothin' next to baby's treat
And if you pardon me
I'd like to say
We'll do okay
Forever in blue jeans

Maybe tonight
Maybe tonight,
By the fire all alone, you and I
Nothing around
But the sound of my heart
And your sighs

Money talks
But it can't sing and dance
And it can't walk
And long as I can have you here with me
I'd much rather be
Forever in blue jeans, babe

 

[QuickDuck]

Why do I think Freya owns the Jazz Singer soundtrack?

 

[BgMma]

I think Urge Overkill did the remake for the "Pulp Fiction" soundtrack.

I am telling you, E, Neil Diamond rocks.....

 

[Freya]

Be nice or I'll never stop.


Hot August night and the leaves hanging down
and the grass on the ground smellin' sweet
Move up the road to the outside of town
and the sound of that good gospel beat
Sits a ragged tent where there ain't no trees
And that gospel group tellin' you and me

It's Love Brother Love say Brother Love's traveling salvation show
Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies and everyone goes
'Cause everyone knows Brother Love's show

Room gets suddenly still and when you'd almost bet
You could hear yourself sweat he walks in
Eyes black as coal and when he lifts his face
Every ear in the place is on him
Startin' soft and slow like a small earthquake
And when he lets go half the valley shakes

It's Love, Brother Love say Brother Loves traveling salvation show
Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies and everyone goes
'Cause everyone knows 'bout Brother Loves show

(Halleluja) Brothers (Halle, halleluja) I say brothers
Now you got yourself two good hands
And when your brother is troubled you've gotta
reach out your hand for him 'cause that's what it's there for
And when your heart is troubled you've gotta reach out
your other hand, reach it out to the Man up there
'Cause that's what He's there for

Take my hand in yours
Walk with me this day
In my heart I know
I will never stray
Halle, halle, halle, halle, halle, halle, halle, halle

Love Brother Love say Brother Love's traveling salvation show
Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies and everyone goes
I say Love Brother Love say Brother Love's traveling salvation show
Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies and everyone goes




And I actually like Sweet Caroline - it was a rocking beer commercial up here a couple of years ago.

 

[Eumenides]

Hey, Ducky. See Saving Silverman, k? You'll LOVE it!

 

[cybergirly]

The best (or worst) ever.

You're so sweet,

Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face

Kentucky moonshine

Could never take your place

And your eyes

Could give me goose bumps down to my toes

Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop,

And I guess it shows.



Mary Lou Jane (oh Mary Lou Jane)

Oh what a fine name (what a fine name)

And you're nothing like them females

From Dover City

(nothin' at all)

Front teeth missin'

(hee, you got your front teeth missin')

And that's fine for kissin' (oh, feels so good)

You're more loyal than my dog Sam,

And twice as pretty (and that's goin' some)



You're so sweet,

Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face

Kentucky moonshine

Could never take your place

And your eyes

Could give me goose bumps down to my toes

Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop,

and I guess it shows.



I can't forget (oh, no)

When we first met (first)

Well, it was bull wrestling time

At the county fair rodeo

(or is it ro-de-o)

And I almost cried (wept)

When you took first prize

(first prize, sweetheart)

Well,

You just looked them critters in the face

And down they'd go

(they never had a chance)



You're so sweet,

Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face

Kentucky moonshine

Could never take your place

And your eyes

Could give me goose bumps down to my toes

Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop,

and I guess it shows.

Dear lord! All this Neil Diamond and I have "Now that we've got love what are we gonna do...with it?" stuck in my head. I'm a complex creature.
