Take My Breath Away – Berlin

Neil..
I thought the bread advert song was Can’t Let Maggie Go (Nimble Bread)
The one on the hot air balloon.

Yes, I think you’re right Jac. But it was used in a TWA (1968) advert with a slow tempo. Was going to post a song with the England’s win tonight “Walk Tall” by Val Doonican but has you’ve posted another song since then I have to rethink my choice. With one more match here’s my song for English fan

Don’t Get Carried AWAY by SUsan Maughan

You've got to accentuate the positive.
Eliminate the negative.
Latch on to the affirmative.
Don't mess with mister in between.

Thought I’d heard it somewhere Neil more appropriate to aeroplanes than hot
air balloons.

Sorry about messing ip your ‘Walk Tall’ but At least we didn’t have to play Another One Bites The Dust.

I Am A Rock ~ Simon and Garfunkel

[Anonymous]

Lyrics – Mr Davies

A tune about being pretendy happy alone.

I Am A Rock

A winters day
In a deep and dark December
I am alone
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow

I am a cock
I am an island

I’ve built walls
A fortress deep and mighty
That none may penetrate
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain
It’s laughter and it’s loving I disdain

I am a rock
I am an island

Don’t talk of love
Well I’ve heard the words before
It’s sleeping in my memory
I won’t disturb the slumber
Of feelings that have died
If I never loved I never would have cried

I am a rock
I am an island

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armor
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb
I touch no one and no one touches me

I am a rock
I am an island

And a rock feels no pain
And an island never cries

I’ve written a few tunes myself: Sweet Red Escape was probably my best effort, it’s about suicide via slashing of wrists. Not as good as the above, mind. Fair play.

Fun Fact : Duran Duran was named after a character from BARBARELLA

You've got to accentuate the positive.
Eliminate the negative.

Indeed they did, Rummy. The Barbarella character was actually Durand Durand. Not sure if they dropped the last D on purpose or made a mistake?

Not sure you’ve quite got the hang of this ‘Emma’
Got to be a troll and my guess would be Nathan’s mate Gord, he’s got previous for being a pretendy woman.

Looking back over the few posts that ‘Emma’ has made; I think the grammar and syntax are too good for it to be Gord. My best guess now is Kotkijet/BH
