Important 80's songs
MrCool83
Ok, i've been searching for these 2 songs, one, which i have heard on 97.9FM
out of Columbus, I think the Title is "Stroke It" Or "Stroke" (AND IT'S NOT THE
SONG BY THAT ONE GUY WHERE the lyrics are "stroke me, stroke me") The lyrics
are:
I stroke it to the east,
I stroke it to the west,
I stroke it to the woman that...I love the best
I be strokin'
Ok, and the other song i haven't heard of in SO long i don't know who IT's by
or what the title is, but the lyrics are:
Take it to the bridge
Throw it overboard
See if it can swim
Take it up to shore
(forget this part)
The lights are off and the blinds are down
Please help me find these songs I've tried everything!!!!
Thanks
Justin

The first one is "Strokin'" by Clarence Carter.

Well the First Song is "Strokin'" by Clarence Carter. The Archives for this
newsgroup at Dejanews dont seem to find much more than what you have stated
already for the lyrics. About time for someone that has a copy to do some
transcribin.

This one is called "Hourglass" by Squeeze
Chris Difford/Glenn Tilbrook (c) 1987
I feel like I'm pounding on a big door
no one can hear my knocking,
I feel like I'm falling flat to the floor
No one can catch me from falling.
The hourglass has no more grains of sand,
my watch has stopped no more turning hands.
The crew have abandoned ship
the lights are on but no one is in.

I feel like I'm calling on a telephone
No one can hear the ringing,
I feel like I'm running up a steep hill
No one can stop me from running.
The hourglass has no more grains of sand
My watch has stopped no more turning hands,
the little hand shakes its fist
The face is hanging out on a spring.

The hourglass has no more grains of sand,
little red grains of sand.
My watch has stopped no more turning hands
little green neon hands.
