Next one... lovely lady, greatly missed...

 

"I saw two shooting stars last night

I wished on them, but they were only satellites

It's wrong to wish on space hardware..."

 

 

 

[Will]

It's a Billy Bragg song, New England - though I guess you're referring to Kirsty MacColl, one of my favourites.

Here's another of my favourites, one that's been going round my head for a day or so:

"I'm gonna die with a hammer in my hand, Lord, Lord
Die with a hammer in my hand"

Here you go Will....................

 

JOHN HENRY, STEEL DRIVING MAN

1. John Henry had a little woman,

   and they called her Polly Ann,

   Well who gonna glove her pretty little feet,

   Mama, I'm gonna glove yo hand,

   Yea I'm gonna glove yo hand.

2. John Henry told his captain,

   Says "Captain when you go to town,

   Bring me back a twelve pound hammer,

   So I can drive your steel on down.

   Lawd, Lawd, I can drive your steel on down."

3. John Henry said to his captain,

   "Oh Captain - a man ain't nothin but a man,

   Just before I die with the hammer in my hand,

   Lawd, Lawd, I'll die with the hammer in my hand."

4. It's, "Big black negro*" when I'm gone,

   And it's "Honey, darlin" when I'm home,

   But as soon as I get a twenty dollar bill,

   It's "Baby, where you been so long?"

   Lawd, Lawd, it's "Baby, where you been so long?"

5. John Henry says to his mother,

   Says "A man ain't nothin but a man,

   Before I let this steam beat me down,

   Lawd, I'll die with this hammer in my hand,

   Lawd, Lawd, I'll die with this hammer in my hand."

6. John Henry, Oh John Henry,

   John Henry was taken sick,

   And Polly drove steel like a man,

   Lawd, Lawd, and Polly drove steel like a man.

7. John Henry said to his father,

   "If there's one more train I want to ride,

   That's the Santa Fe, and the Southern Pacific,

   On that I.C. Railroad line,

   On that I.C. Railroad line,

   Oh Lawd, that I.C. Railroad line."

Forgot my words........

 

With a friend
I can smile
But with a lover
I could hold my head back
And really laugh

[Will]

I think that's Joan Armatrading's Love and Affection

My John Henry, above, was from the Bruce Springsteen version (based on Pete Seeger's version).

And now for something completely different (but quite well known)

Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil,

Going with the flow, it's all the same to me,

Seven or Eleven, snake eyes watching you,

Double up or quit, double stake or split,

[Mark]

Ace of Spades?

[Will]

   Yes, you are right - Motorhead's Ace of Spades. But you are supposed to post some lyrics yourself.

[Christine Animal]

Will these do ?

Vice et Versa

[Mark]

Right, the clue is in the lyric:

"Oh, and by the way...

Which one's Pink?"

... and who sung this...

Chez Jeanne, la Jeanne
On est n'importe qui, on vient n'importe quand
Et, comme par miracle, par enchantement
On fait partie de la famille
Dans son cœur, en s'poussant un peu
Reste encore une petite place

it's French   [:P]  and a very well known singer.
