Wandrin' Star (Lee Marvin)
Su
I was born under a wandrin' star,
I was born under a wandrin' star.
Wheels are made for rollin'
mules are made to pack.
I've never seen a sight that didn't look better looking back.
I was born under a wandrin' star.
Mud can make you prisoner, and the plains can bake you dry.
Snow can burn your eyes, but only people make you cry.
Home is made for comin' from, for dreams of goin' to,
which with any luck will never come true.
I was born under a wandrin' star,
I was born under a wandrin' star.
Do I know where hell is? Hell is in hello.
Heaven is in goodbye for ever, it's time for me to go.
I was born under a wandrin' star, a wandrin' wandrin' star.
Mud can make you prisoner, and the plains can bake you dry.
Snow can burn your eyes, but only people make you cry.
Home is made for comin' from, for dreams of goin' to,
which with any luck will never come true.
I was born under a wandrin' star,
I was born under a wandrin' star.
When I get to heaven tie me to a tree,
or I'll begin to roam, and soon you know where I will be.
I was born under a wandrin' star, a wandrin' wandrin' star.

If you like this song you'll like
just about anything.
Mrs. Fenty: You should read the Bible, Mr. Rumson.
Ben Rumson: I have read the Bible, Mrs. Fenty.
Mrs. Fenty: Didn't that discourage you about
drinking?
Ben Rumson: No, but it sure killed my appetite for
readin'!

"Paint Your Wagon." Casting Lee Marvin in the lead role was perfect. Best
line was when Ben took the Holy Joe kid upstairs to the prostitute, she
opened the door and he said, "Here is the boy, now bring me the man."
BTW ... exactly *why* do you have a loose tooth? Piss somebody off?

I think my name is pretty self-explanatory.
And I can't imagine anyone getting pissed
off at me.

I recently picked up the wonderful book, "A Hymn to Him -- The Lyrics
of Alan Jay Lerner," published in New York by Limelight Editions
(Introduction and Notes, Copyright 1987, by Benny Green). Alan Jay Lerner
is apparently the prolific music lyricist that wrote songs for Brigadoon, My
Fair Lady, My Man Godfrey, and --- yep, you guessed it --- Paint Your
Wagon.
Unfortunately, the editor that got his hands on the papers somehow managed
to screw up some of the lyrics. For instance, "They Call the Wind
Moriiiiiiiiah" somehow got twisted around to the more conventional "They
Call the Wind Maria." I guess only the US Copyright Office knows for sure
which one is "right" (and even that could be impeached, although the
presumption is heavy).
According to that book:

Truly beautiful song. The movie came later, around 1969, filmed in the
state of Oregon, with the play performed in 1951, running for 289
performances. Now, since then, untold numbers of high schools and
neighborhood theaters have put on the show, each adding their own little
twist.

And as far as your comment about watching old movies ... have since I was a
kid, and continue to watch them.
I'll go so far as to say that only a true movie buff understand the real
meaning of Madonna's song "Vogue," because they can make the connection
between the people she mentioned and the words of the song.

So she was very educated..
knowing about the wonders of the world?

I can't imagine why his parents
would be upset if she taught him
about the wonders of the world.
Most kids today can only name one or
two like The Grand Canyon etc.

If you enjoy the 7 Wonders of the World you
might enjoy reading The Seven Wonders
of the Ancient World by Peter Clayton.
You'll be able to amaze people at parties.
No one can name all seven.
Also, if you enjoy that book another you
might like is A Night to Remember by Walter
Lord. It's a classic about the Titanic.
If you like things about the Titanic
you'd probably like music about boats and water.
38 Special
Bone Against Steel
You Be The Dam, I'll Be The Water
(M. Carl/V. Stephenson/D. Van Zant/R. White Johnson)
Seems as long as I've been knowing you
Something has bound us kept us as two
You for me and me for you tried and true
But what we need now is anchor and chain
I get the feelin' we're drifting away
Clouds collecting on horizon again
Oh o oh it looks like rain baby
Chorus:
You be the dam , I'll be the water
Hold back the tide
Just a little bit longer
We gotta make a stand
Gotta get stronger
Pullin' at you
Tuggin' at me baby
You be the dam, I'll be the water
Woke up floatin' like a dove on the gulf stream
Makin' love in the afternoon can ease any pain
We find the deepest part of our hearts
What good are we right now if we don't even try
Wrap it up pack it in say our sweet goodbye
Whatcha gonna do pretty baby when the well runs dry
Woh o oh we'll pray for rain baby
Chorus:
One heart beat at a time
After stormy weather
The sun's gonna shine
Gonna keep our lovin' alive
We can survive baby
Chorus:
You be the dam, I'll be the water
You be the dam, I'll be the water
Here's one about Boats.
Sammys Bar Or The Last Boats Aleavin
SAMMY'S BAR or THE LAST BOAT'S A'LEAVIN
(Cyril Tawney)
I went down to Sammy's Bar
Hey, the last boat's a'leavin
By the shore at Pieta
Haul away the daighsoe
And my real love, she was there
There was sand all in her hair
How did sand get in your hair
Darling Johnny put it there
Been with Johnny all the day
Down at Ghajn Tuffheija Bay
He's a better man by far
Because he's got a Yankee car
I went out from Sammy's Bar
Had to hire a Yankee car
Fourteen days I drank no wine
Saving for that love of mine
Then one day in Paula square
At a paper I did stare
Johnny tried a hairpin bend
For my love, it was the end
Going back to Sammy's Bar
I don't need no Yankee car

It's hard to imagine Paint My Wagon
getting an 8.1 rating and Meatballs a 6.0.
Which song would you rather hear?
Wanderin Star or Moondust?
Su
First ... I'm not at all interested in any book about the 7 Wonders of the
World. If I'm interested in learning all of them, I'll watch the movie
"Overboard."
As far as the book "A Night To Remember," it's a novel, and nothing more. I
can refer you to other books about the Titanic which provide far more
historical facts. And where you're making the connection between an interest
in the Titanic the music about boats and water I'll never figure out.

Something Special
All dressed up, nowhere to go
Looks so easy but it isn't you know
Hard to find what you're dreamin' of
But there's something special about our love
Different people, different worlds
You just call me, and I'll be there for you
We belong together you know it's true
'Cause there's something special about our love
It's all right,
Baby, it's ok
We're gonna make it no matter what they say
Sure as the stars shine in the sky above
There is something special about our love
People change as time goes by
Others come between
But I'll love you 'til the day I die
'Cause there's something special 'bout you and me
Something special about our love

It's from the movie Overboard with
Kirk Russell. I thought the person who
liked Overboard probably would like a
song from it.
