Song Stylings

Well the music whore has found a way to encorporate Greg and a few songs...

Today's blog...before you get another installment of Storytime..is called

Songs in the Key of Greg...

These are songs that somehow make me think of our Ocelot Master, Greg Proops..

1. I Want You (a stalker-esque serenade by Mr. Costello)
2. Return to Sender (Billie Meyers ode to a well dressed man)
3. On My Own (the song from Les Miz about unrequited love)

Here are the lyrics for those of you that haven't read them at Ocelots

Brand/Artist Les Miserables,
Album
Song Title On My Own
-------------------------------------------------------------------


And now I'm all alone again
Nowhere to turn, no one to go to
Without a home, without a friend
Without a face to say hello to
But now the night is near
And I can make-believe he's here

Sometimes I walk alone at night
When everybody else is sleeping
I think of him and then I'm happy
With the company I'm keeping
The city goes to bed
And I can live inside my head

On my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone
I walk with him 'til morning
Without him, I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way, I close my eyes and he has found me
In the rain
The pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever

And I know it's only in my mind
That I'm talking to myself and not to him
And althought I know that he is blind
Still I say there's a way for us

I love him
But when the night is over
He is gone
The river's just a river
Without him, the world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere the streets are full of strangers

I love him
But every day I'm learning
All my life I've only been pretending
Without me, his world will go on turning
A world that's full of hapiness that I have never known

I love him
I love him
I love him
But only on my own

I've always considered this to be one of my fav songs...I don't know why Angie didn't sing this to Greg in Maybe I'm Amazed..but at the time...Another song in the key of Greg...made more sense...Madonna's Take a Bow....as well as..the song I Know Him so Well from the Tim Rice/Benny and Bjorn musical Chess...and of course...Madonna's You Must Love Me..

Funny that songs by an artist that Greg truly can't stand..should be amongst the songs that make me think of him the most..I might as well add Elton John's Sacrifice to the list as well...

So many good songs...so much Proops - lust to inspire.
