All the Hopes and Dreams

Post by Oscar Namechange »

My child arrived just the other day

come to the world in the usual way

but there were planes to catch

and bills to pay

he learned to walk while I was away

he was talking for a minute

and as he grew

he'd say I'm gonna be like you Dad

you know I'm gonna be like you

And the cats in the cradle

and the silver spoon

little boy blue and the

man on the moon

when you comin' home son

I don't know when

we'll get together then

you know we'll have

a good time then

Well my son turned ten

just the other day

he said thanks for the ball Dad

come on let's play

can you teach me to throw

I said not today - I got a lot to do

he said that's o.k.

and he walked away and he

smiled and he said

you know I'm gonna be like him yeah

you know I'm gonna be like him

And the cats in the cradle ...

Well he came from college

just the other day

so much like a man I just had to say

I'm proud of you could you

sit for a while

he shook his head

and he said with a smile

what I'd really like Dad

is to borrow the car keys

see you later can I have them please

And the cats in the cradle ...

I've long since retired

my son's moved away

I called him up just the other day

I'd like to see you if you don't mind

he said

I'd love to Dad

if I could find the time

you see my new job's hassle

and the kids have the flu

but it's sure nice talking to you Dad

it's been sure nice talking to you

and as I hung up the phone

I occured to me

he'd grown up just like me

my boy was just like me

And the cats in the cradle ...

And the cats in the cradle ...

Please allow me to introduce myself

Im a man of wealth and taste

Ive been around for a long, long year

Stole many a mans soul and faith

And I was round when jesus christ

Had his moment of doubt and pain

Made damn sure that pilate

Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you

Hope you guess my name

But whats puzzling you

Is the nature of my game

I stuck around st. petersburg

When I saw it was a time for a change

Killed the czar and his ministers

Anastasia screamed in vain

I rode a tank

Held a generals rank

When the blitzkrieg raged

And the bodies stank

Pleased to meet you

Hope you guess my name

Ah, whats puzzling you

Is the nature of my game

I watched with glee

While your kings and queens

Fought for ten decades

For the gods they made

I shouted out,

Who killed the kennedys?

When after all

It was you and me

Let me please introduce myself

Im a man of wealth and taste

And I laid traps for troubadours

Who get killed before they reached bombay

Pleased to meet you

Hope you guessed my name

But whats puzzling you

Is the nature of my game, get down, baby

Pleased to meet you

Hope you guessed my name,

But whats confusing you

Is just the nature of my game

Just as every cop is a criminal

And all the sinners saints

As heads is tails

Just call me lucifer

cause Im in need of some restraint

So if you meet me

Have some courtesy

Have some sympathy, and some taste

Use all your well-learned politesse

Or Ill lay your soul to waste

Pleased to meet you

Hope you guessed my name

But whats puzzling you

Is the nature of my game, get down

Tell me baby, whats my name

Tell me honey, can ya guess my name

Tell me baby, whats my name

I tell you one time, youre to blame

Wasn't it fabulous? So haunting and i actually gave this to my brother as a warning when his son was born. It hits you real hard this one.

Just for you:

The song 'Cat's in the cradle' was used in a promotional video for peace in Northern Ireland during the troubles.

I'm actually surprised i found it.

Only watch this version if you are ready for a real kick in the guts.

Thanks, Oscar. The one by Ugly Kid Joe is the one I remember mainly. I think I saw the Northern Ireland version once on some programme.

The song always put a chill up my spine, even before I met the mother of my daughter and when I thought I was never going to be a Dad.

All of my life i have associated music with memories. every now and then, one song comes along that just blows you away and the lyrics stay with you fore-ever because they touch a chord within. That's how 'Cat's in the cradle' first got me.

When the promotional video came out using it for the Troubles in Northern Ireland, i remember the first time i ever saw it on tv. My spine went cold and i never ever forgot it. It was a stroke of pure genius to use that song and the shocking video just stunned you. It was some years ago and there was just nothing like that ever seen on British tv before. It could well be used today... still :thinking:

Our leaders no longer lead the troops in the field. Perhaps they should lead the troops for every war they become involved with.

So true :thinking::thinking:

I remembered another one of those songs that blew me away and touched that chord when i first heard it.

YouTube - The Living Years MIKE & THE MECHANICS

Every generation

Blames the one before

And all of their frustrations

Come beating on your door

I know that Im a prisoner

To all my father held so dear

I know that Im a hostage

To all his hopes and fears

I just wish I could have told him in the living years

Crumpled bits of paper

Filled with imperfect thought

Stilted conversations

Im afraid thats all weve got

You say you just dont see it

He says its perfect sense

You just cant get agreement

In this present tense

We all talk a different language

Talking in defence

Say it loud, say it clear

You can listen as well as you hear

Its too late when we die

To admit we dont see eye to eye

So we open up a quarrel

Between the present and the past

We only sacrifice the future

Its the bitterness that lasts

So dont yield to the fortunes

You sometimes see as fate

It may have a new perspective

On a different day

And if you dont give up, and dont give in

You may just be o.k.

Say it loud, say it clear

You can listen as well as you hear

Its too late when we die

To admit we dont see eye to eye

I wasnt there that morning

When my father passed away

I didnt get to tell him

All the things I had to say

I think I caught his spirit

Later that same year

Im sure I heard his echo

In my babys new born tears

I just wish I could have told him in the living years

Say it loud, say it clear

You can listen as well as you hear

Its too late when we die

To admit we dont see eye to eye

U2 Lyrics - Pride (In The Name Of Love)

One man come in the name of love

One man come and go

One come he to justify

One man to overthrow

In the name of love

What more in the name of love

In the name of love

What more in the name of love

One man caught on a barbed wire fence

One man he resist

One man washed on an empty beach.

One man betrayed with a kiss

In the name of love

What more in the name of love

In the name of love

What more in the name of love

(nobody like you...)

Early morning, April 4

Shot rings out in the Memphis sky

Free at last, they took your life

They could not take your pride

In the name of love

What more in the name of love

In the name of love

What more in the name of love

In the name of love

What more in the name of love...

I cant believe the news today

Oh, I cant close my eyes and make it go away

How long...

How long must we sing this song?

How long? how long...

cause tonight...we can be as one

Tonight...

Broken bottles under childrens feet

Bodies strewn across the dead end street

But I wont heed the battle call

It puts my back up

Puts my back up against the wall

Sunday, bloody sunday

Sunday, bloody sunday

Sunday, bloody sunday (sunday bloody sunday...)

(allright lets go!)

And the battles just begun

Theres many lost, but tell me who has won

The trench is dug within our hearts

And mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart

Sunday, bloody sunday

Sunday, bloody sunday

How long...

How long must we sing this song?

How long? how long...

cause tonight...we can be as one

Tonight...

Tonight...

Sunday, bloody sunday (tonight)

Tonight

Sunday, bloody sunday (tonight)

(come get some!)

Wipe the tears from your eyes

Wipe your tears away

Wipe your tears away

I wipe your tears away

(sunday, bloody sunday)

I wipe your blood shot eyes

(sunday, bloody sunday)

Sunday, bloody sunday (sunday, bloody sunday)

Sunday, bloody sunday (sunday, bloody sunday)

(here I come!)

And its true we are immune

When fact is fiction and tv reality

And today the millions cry

We eat and drink while tomorrow they die

The real battle yet begun (sunday, bloody sunday)

To claim the victory jesus won (sunday, bloody sunday)

On...

Sunday bloody sunday

Sunday bloody sunday...

One two three

What are we fighting for?

Don't ask me I don't give a damn.

Next stop Vietnam.

Five six seven

Open up the Pearly Gates.

Don't ask me to wonder why

Whoopee we're all gonna die.



There are plenty of songs about the carnage and pointless deaths in war. Yet, if everyone stopped joining up to the services, they'd only be conscripted.

Just the same, we also need to be able to defend ourselves. So, I don't know what the answer is.

I agree totally but i just believe that musicians and rock stars get through to new generations where sometimes education fails. I also believe that new generations have to be educated in the bloody battles or we risk history repeating it'self. To forget them is acceptence that no-one longer cares.... Maybe i believe this because i was indoctrinated with it due to my family's history in the two world wars.... I don't know... I do know that i was raised to never forget. Some may call that a curse?...



Apologies OM.... as usual, i've hi-jacked the thread :wah::wah:

No apology needed. A thread once posted is public property. At least you haven't defaced it.

It's been an interesting discussion as such.

I don't think the youngsters are really getting the message from the songs. I believe, though, that recruitment into the services has dropped since we've been at war. The services became a useful way for youngsters to learn a trade. But they don't want to be killed in the process.

My generation does not remember WW2. My grandmother, who adopted me, told me a lot of stories about it. My grandfather used to work for Bristol Aviation. He was an aircraft engineer and used to cycle in every day from Portishead. The German pilots used to shed their payload over them after bombing Bristol. They had 4 children then and Grandma would ge them up and tell them stories, sing songs and have a laugh with them. She would sit against the wall and she could feel the bomb explosions through it. She was petrified but she didn't want the kids to be scared and start having nightmares.

Yor right that recruitment has taken a dive in the past years. It was one of the main reasons to join the forces...to learn a trade, my god, i came close myself and nearly signed up for the Army in my early twenties. Your right, they don't want to get killed now. I often wonder what the generation of today would do if concripted into a war to defend their country?

So your family were in Bristol during the war? I am not a native of Bristol but since here i have researched a little of the Bristol war history.

I am in more of an up-beat mood today thank goodness :wah: but as i have hi-jacked your thread, i will sneakilly use it to dedicate a song to my local police force.:sneaky::sneaky:

Of course, it has to come from my hero's the Stranglers :-4 Do watch the video as their introduction on this one is quite amusing.

The words

Came down the line

Just a few words

At a time

The meaning

It was Clear

There was no sign of fear

The scene

That they described

Were sad

You could have cried

The journey's

Just too long

To even

Take the ride

It's always

The same

It's always

In vain

If the truth

Were only known

If the words

Had only shown

That lies and deception

They move in one direction

And then in the end you lose........

That lies and deception

They move in one direction

And then in the end you lose........

You lose

And now

The line is dead

You did everything

You ever said

You brought it down

You turned around

And what was said

Was said

The deed is done

You've had your fun

And home again

You'll run

You know inside

You'll never hide

And what was done

Was done

It's always

The same

It's always

In vain

If the truth

Were only known

If the words

Had only shown

That lies and deception

They move in one direction

And then in the end you lose........

I'm quite amused that the videographer settled on the bass when the electric guitar took the lead.

A good choice of song. It grows on you too.

You noticed!!!!!!! John Ellis on electric guitar, i have to say, is the most under-accliamed guitar genious's i have ever seen or heard. Seriously... this guy could put Clapton in the shade and he's never been acclaimed rightfully by the music industry.

Video's of John in the stranglers are few and although i have posted this one on other threads before, it's well worth the long watch just to see the final few moments as the track comes to the cresendo with Ellis on electric and Jean jaque on bass in perfect timing.(Have you guessed i'm their greatest fan yet) :wah: I was at this gig and my brothers bald spot can be see in the crowd. We were about three rows from the front.

Well, you've been pretty quiet about being a Stranglers fan. I'd never have guessed!!!:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl

Acoustic bass is a rarity, even now, but I first came across them in the 70s when people still said, "Far out, man". I guess the videographer wasn't paying enough attention and probably fooled by a spot of bass lead.

I have always liked the Stranglers anyway. They sure had the string section earning their crust.

The vids a bit too fuzzy to make out the audience. I did try.

Eric Clapton is ok. I like most of his earlier stuff but 'slowhand' just about says it all.

Jean Jacques was a classically trained guitarist before The Stranglers were formed and even if i hadn't lusted after the man for the past 30 yeras, I'd still state that he has to be the greatest bass of all time and i don't believe there will ever be another like him. If you have never seen this clip of him before, i bet anythign that you have never seen a bass played like this before. After...Tell me he's not the greatest bass ever!!!

On the subject of introductions..... Peter Cooke introducing The Stranglers in 1978 is worth of a watch and titter.

When my love said to me

Meet me down by the gallow tree

For it's sad news I bring

About this old town and all that it's offering

Some say troubles abound

Some day soon they're gonna pull the old town down

One day we'll return here,

When the Belfast Child sings again

Brothers, sisters where are you now

As I look for you right through the crowd

All my life here I've spent

With my faith in God the Church and the Government

But there's sadness abound

Some day soon they're gonna pull the old town down

One day we'll return here,

When the Belfast Child sings again

When the Belfast Child sings again

Hey, hey, hey ,hey

Won't you come see about me?

I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby



Tell me your troubles and doubts

Giving me everything inside and out and

Love's strange so real in the dark

Think of the tender things that we were working on



Slow change may pull us apart

When the light gets into your heart, baby



Don't You Forget About Me

Don't Don't Don't Don't

Don't You Forget About Me



Will you stand above me?

Look my way, never love me

Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling

Down, down, down



Will you recognise me?

Call my name or walk on by

Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling

Down, down, down, down



Hey, hey, hey, hey

Ohhhh.....



Don't you try to pretend

It's my feeling we'll win in the end

I won't harm you or touch your defenses

Vanity and security



Don't you forget about me

I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby

Going to take you apart

I'll put us back together at heart, baby



Don't You Forget About Me

Don't Don't Don't Don't

Don't You Forget About Me



As you walk on by

Will you call my name?

As you walk on by

Will you call my name?

When you walk away



Or will you walk away?

Will you walk on by?

Come on - call my name

Will you call my name?

YouTube is something that I have only experienced since I have been back on FG this year. The Internet seems to be subtly different to how I remember it back in February 2007 when I last was connected. Further, this year, I managed to delete my music files by accident one morning while I was nursing a hangover. This includes original work of my own and I am in the process, when I get the time, of recovering the files.

My taste in music varies, however, from week to week and month to month and is very diverse. I enjoy classical music as much as I enjoy rock, jazz, reggae, folk, and so on. I also like the weird as much as I like the conventional. But I will have a perusal on YouTube and see what I can find.

I last went to a weekend gig that was held in a field behind where I lived in Bedford. It was the first to be held and I have no idea if any more were held there as I moved to West Yorkshire at the end of that year. The gig was headlined by Jerry Lee Lewis but also included Donovan, and John Otway among others. My favourite set was Roy Harper who initially played solo and was then joined by his son, Nick. Brilliant stuff.

I’ve just had a look and it seems someone in the audience (about as far away as I was) shot a short piece of video of one of the numbers but not the best number they played.

I haven't been to many gigs. I'm not that fond of crowds.
