*********************

She's A Lady

Well, she's all you'd ever want
She's the kind I like to flaunt and take to dinner
But she always knows her place
She's got style, she's got grace--she's a winner
She's a lady
Oh, whoa, whoa, she's a lady
Talkin' about that little lady
And the lady is mine

Well, she's never in the way
Always something nice to say, and what a blessin'
I can leave her on her own
Knowin' she's OK alone and there's no messin'
She's a lady
Oh, whoa, whoa, she's a lady
Talkin' about that little lady
And the lady is mine

Well, she never asks very much
And I don't refuse her
Always treat her with respect
I never would abuse her
What she's got is hard to find
And I don't want to lose her
Help me build a mountain
From a little pile of clay, hey hey hey

Well, she knows what I'm about
She can take what I dish out, and that's not easy
But she knows me through and through
And she knows just what to do and how to please me
She's a lady
Oh, whoa, whoa, she's a lady
Talkin' about that little lady
And the lady is mine
Yeah, yeah, yeah, she's a lady
Oh, whoa, whoa, she's a lady
Talkin' about that little lady
And the lady is mine
(fade out)

********************
Release Me


Oh please release me, let me go
For I just don't love you anymore
To waste our lives would be a sin
Release me and let me love again

I have found a new love dear
And I will always want her near
Her lips are warm while yours are cold
Oh release me, my darling let me go

Please release me, let me go
For I just don't love you anymore
To waste our lives would be a sin
Release me and let me love again

Let me go, oh release me, my darling
Let me go

Obožavam matorog bivšeg rudara!

A sex bomb?

Kakva seks bomb? U vojsci smo pevali ''Ali doći će dan, jer mora doći, kad ću opet kući poći da vidim zelenu, zelenu travu doma mog...''. Jeste, verujte mi na reč. Nekada se sa razglasa moglo da čuje nešto vredno...

HELP YOURSELF

Tom Jones

Love is like candy on a shelf
You want to taste and help yourself
The sweetest things are there for you
Help yourself take a few
That's what I want you to do

We're always told repeatedly
The very best in life is free
And if you want to prove it's true
Baby, I'm telling you this is what you should do

Just help yourself to my lips to my arms
Just say the word and they're yours
Just help yourself to the love in my heart
Your smile has opened up the door
The greatest wealth that exists in the world
Could never buy what I can give
Just help yourself to my lips to my arms
And then let's really start to live

My heart has love enough for two
More than enough for me and you
I'm rich with love, a millionaire
I've so much it's unfair
Why don't you take a share

Just help yourself to my lips to my arms
Just say the word and they're yours
Just help yourself to the love in my heart
Your smile has opened up the door
The greatest wealth that exists in the world
Could never buy what I can give
Just help yourself to my lips to my arms
And then let's really start to live

Green, Green Grass Of Home


The old home town looks the same,
As I step down from the train,
And there to meet me is my mama and my papa.
Down the road I look, and there comes Mary,
Hair of gold and lips like cherries.
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.

The old house is still standing,
Though the paint is razbijaced and dry,
And there's the old oak tree that I used to play on.
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary,
Hair of gold and lips like cherries.
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.

Yes, they'll all come to see me,
Arms reaching, smiling sweetly.
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.

Then I awake and look around me,
At the four gray walls that surround me,
And I realize that I was only dreaming.
For there's a guard, and there's a sad old padre,
Arm in arm, we'll walk at daybreak.
Again, I'll touch the green, green grass of home.

Yes, they'll all come to see me
In the shade of the old oak tree,
As they lay me 'neath the green, green grass of home.

Da, za ostale pesme ne znam, ali Zelena trava doma mog je toliko prepevavana, i toliko je pevaca bas tu pesmu izvodilo, da je i po tome legendarna

Jaco, hvala ti u ime stare vojske...A sad lepo neka neko stavi i najveći planetarni hit svih vremena, ''Dilajlu''. Mladji se ne sećaju, njima Tom Džons počinje od ''Seks bombe''. Nama, koji smo bili klinci kada je velški rudar počeo mrtvu trku sa Inglbertom Hampertinkom, kada se spomene Tom Džons, najpre pomislimo na ''Dellillah'' i ''Coming home''. Hoću da pijem kafu i da se sećam...Dok se nisu ostali po kući izbudili i počeli da me podsećaju na stvarnost...

Delilah

I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window
I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind
She was my woman
As she deceived me I watched and went out of my mind
My, my, my, delilah
Why, why, why, delilah
I could see that girl was no good for me
But I was lost like a slave that no man could free
At break of day when that man drove away, I was waiting
I cross the street to her house and she opened the door
She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more
My, my, my delilah
Why, why, why delilah
So before they come to break down the door
Forgive me delilah I just couldnt take any more



She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more
My, my, my, delilah
Why, why, why, delilah
So before they come to break down the door
Forgive me delilah I just couldnt take any more
Forgive me delilah I just couldnt take any more

P.S. Fala za to mladi, al pamtim mnogo više!

Molim, molim, uvaženi kolega sa odličnim pamćenjem... E, sad, mali test, ako nemaš ništa protiv, a koristiće svima: ko je na srpskom pevao ''Dilajlu''? Ha, čik sad da kažeš ''Ne znam bre''
PS
Hvala za tekst...Kad pomislim, koliko smo singlica ''istupili'' dok smo ga prepisivali. Još jedan detalj vezan za ''Dilajlu''. Te, 1968. godine, kada je ona kod nas stigla kao pandemija, prodato je tri puta više singlica nego što je bilo gramofona...Varljivo leto 1968. Beograd je bio pun čehoslovačkih turista koji nisu imali kuda da se vrate; mi, klinci , odlazili smo u Bulevar revolucije da ispred njihove ambasade gledamo šta se dogadja, a studenti, u vrhunskoj formi te godine, hrabrili su ih sa razglasa ''Dilajlom''...

Ne znam bre, časna reč!

Mozgala sam od prošle godine i eto ne znam bre!

Ajd otkrij mi tajnu (u ušima mi je samo Tom Jones)

Miki Jevremović, a odmah za njim i Djordje Marjanović A ja pomislio da si se već predala, odnosno odustala...

Moraću malo da prigovorim ovde. Pesmu Black Batty u originalu izvodi grupa Ram Jam, a Tom Jones je obradio, tako da...
