As someone of limited practical experience I was recently contemplating (as part of my next get rich scheme) erecting a block of flats on marsh land next to Fleet Pond.

Luckily I heard the attached song..........

Anything else out there I should be aware of?

That made me smile as I spent a lot of childhood summers around Fleet Pond

Can't think of any songs about keeping an eye out for massive dragonflies though...

Yeah, def agree with that one. Whilst we are still on a 'things' vibe,

remember Luther's advice "The Best Things In Life Are Free"

How 'bout "Baby! Get Some Psychedelic Soul!" Doesn't get much better than that, advice wise....

Because it was a bit "poppy" I chose to ignore Ann D'Andrea, and walked straight into a feckin' lamp post!

Paul

may not be advice but always liked bobby womacks line...."maybe down and out,got holes in my shoes but i still feel as rich as howard hughes"

Got to be Sly & the Family Stone

Come on everybody, get up and Dance to the music !!!

A'nt that what this scene is all about

Edited May 12, 200619 yr by miff

Got to be the Dells 'Make Sure'....you have someone who loves you I can't recall any NS records that say hook up with the Galaxy Chocolate heir but that would be very sound advice Jo

In The aeroplane song.

There's a button on your left, and one on the right.

The one in the middle means we're having bad luck, we're running outta gas and our landing gear is stuck

Then the lyrics say

Sit and relax, nothing can go wrong

Ok better advice is probably

Dont depend on me.

dont bring me down &

spread love.

Better Use Your Head

.......and I wish I bloody had!

Of course there is always this advice:

[spoken:]

When I became of age my mother called me to her side

She said 'son you're growing up now, pretty soon

You'll take a bride'...

[sings:]

And then she said...

'Just because you've become a young man now

(Man, now)

There's still some things that you don't understand now

(Son, now)

Before you ask some girl for her hand now

(My son)

Keep your freedom for as long as you can now'

My mama told me...'you better shop around'

(Shop, shop around) a-whoa-yeah

You better (uh-huh) shop around!

(Shop, shop around)

Uh-uh-uh

'There's some things that I want you to know now

(Uh-huh-...ooo)

A just as sure as the winds gonna blow now

(Uh-huh-...ooo)

The women come and the women gonna go now

(Uh-huh...ooo)

Before you tell 'em that you love 'em so now

My mama told me...'you better shop around'

(Shop, shop around) whoa-yeah

(Uh-huh...ooo)

Cautionary advice on fornicating with reptiles...

"Oh shut up, silly woman," said the reptile with a grin

"You knew damn well I was a snake before you brought me in"

"Do the Jerk" seemed pretty good advice to me

For reasons that I refuse to go into I once went to a soulboy stag party Paris dressed as a transvestite. When it was my turn to buy a round in a very expensive bar in Les Halles I was so grateful to the lyrics of the Contours' - 'First I Look At the Purse'

...I was also desperately trying to avoid the lyrics to Musique's 'In the Bush' but that is another thread....

I don't know if it is advice but from " I'm A Big Man" Big Daddy Rogers....

"I'm going to take you to the wood shed and knock a couple of plank on you......"

Never do anything else with my women now...

Paris Blues?

"Look before you leap & count, count your blessings instead of sheep"

A lesson for life methinks

And for my opening line, I might try to indicate my state of mind.

................

When good friends prove untrue

And the things they do to you

They make you feel so bad

They make you feel that

You haven't a reason for living

So when you feel you

Could throw in the towel and just given in
