'Show Me The Way To Amarillo' by Tony Christie. A young Tony Christie.

It goes like this:

Sha la la lala lalala

Sha la la lala lalala

Sha la la lala lalala

When the day is dawning

on a Texas Sunday morning

how I long to be there

with Marie who's waiting for me there

every lonely city where I hang my hat

ain't as half as pretty as where my baby's at

Is this the way to Amarillo

every night I've been hugging my pillow

dreaming dreams of Amarillo

and sweet Marie who waits for me

show me the way to Amarillo

I've been weeping like a willow

crying over Amarillo

and sweet Marie who waits for me

(now the best bit)

Sha la la lala lalala

*BOOM BOOM*

Sha la la lala lalala

*BOOM BOOM*

Sha la la lala lalala and Marie who waits for me

There's a church bell ringing

hear the song of joy that it's singing

for the sweet Mariaand the guy who's coming to see her

just beyong the highway, there's an open plain

and it keeps me going through the wind and rain

Is this the way to Amarillo

every night I've been hugging my pillow

dreaming dreams of Amarillo

and sweet Marie who waits for me

show me the way to Amarillo

I've been weeping like a willow

crying over Amarillo

and sweet Marie who waits for me

Sha la la lala lalala

*BOOM BOOM*

Sha la la lala lalala

*BOOM BOOM*

Sha la la lala lalala and Marie who waits for me

christ on a bike, i could go on forever but...

you can't hurry love - phil collins

down under - men at work

that tune from the o.c

it must be love - madness

little lies - fleetwood mac

everybody wants to rule the world - tears for fears

about 50% of my music taste is, in everybody elses' eyes but mine, shit.

Lol the old Phil Collins admission once got me dumped by a girlfriend - honestly - and I do believe it was responsible for the troubles starting in Northern Ireland.*

But yet, god damn it, I still love it. And I know for a fact there will be other people out there who love it. But you won't admit it.

Bah.
