THE FOUR TOPS - I Can't Help Myself

Adoro este tema e já o ouço há tanto tempo e não fazia ideia de quem é que a cantava, estas vozes negras...são do melhor.





Sugarpie honeybunch
You know that I love you
I can't help myself
I love you and nobody else
In and out my life
You come and you go
Leaving just your picture behind
And I kissed it a thousand times

When you snap your fingers
Or wink your eye
I come a running to you
I'm tied to you, baby
And there's nothing I can do
Ooh, sugar

Sugarpie honeybunch
I'm weaker than a man should be
I can't help myself
I'm a fool in love you see
Wanna tell you I don't love you
Tell you that we're through
And I've tried
But everytime I see your face
I get up all choked up inside

When I call your name, girl
It starts the flame burning in my heart
Tearin' it all apart
No matter how I try
My love I cannot hide

Sugarpie honeybunch
You now that I'm weak for you
I can't help myself
I love you and nobody else

Sugarpie honeybunch
I'll do anything you ask me to
I can't help myself
I want you and nobody else

Sugarpie honeybunch
You know that I love you
I can't help myself

Eric Carmen - Hungry eyes

Quem não se lembra do filme "Dança comigo" com Patrick Swayze, e deste tema que ficou no ouvido.




Ive been meaning to tell you
Ive got this feelin that wont subside
I look at you and I fantasize
You are mine tonight
Now Ive got you in my sights

With these hungry eyes
One look at you and I cant disguise
Ive got hungry eyes
I feel the magic between you and i

I want to hold you so hear me out
I want to show you what loves all about
Darlin tonight
Now Ive got you in my sights

With these hungry eyes
One look at you and I cant disguise
Ive got hungry eyes
I feel the magic between you
And Ive got hungry eyes
Now Ive got you in my sights
With these hungry eyes
Now did I take you by surprise

I need you to see
This love was meant to be

Ive got hungry eyes
One look at you and I cant disguise
Ive got hungry eyes
I feel the magic between you
And Ive got hungry eyes
Now Ive got you in my sights
With those hungry eyes
Did I take you by surprise

With my hungry eyes

The Smiths - The boy with the thorn in his side

É mais uma música de que lembro perfeitamente, apesar de ser um "puto" naquela altura ouve algo nesta música que me fez gostar tanto dela.




The boy with the thorn in his side
Behind the hatred there lies
A murderous desire for love

How can they look into my eyes
And still they don't believe me
How can they hear me say those words
And still they don't believe me

And if they don't believe me now
Will they ever believe me?
And if they don't believe me now
Will they ever will they ever believe me?

The boy with the thorn in his side
Behind the hatred there lies
A plundering desire for love

How can they see the love in our eyes
And still they don't believe us
And after all this time
They don't want to believe us

And if they don't believe us now
Will they ever believe us?
And when you want to Live
How do you start?
Where do you go?
Who do you need to know?

Human league - Together on electric dreams

E quem é não se lembra desta banda britânica, este tema é a banda sonora do filme "Electric dreams" cantada claro pelo Phil Oakley.



I only knew you for a while
I never saw your smile
til it was time to go
Time to go away (time to go away)
Sometimes its hard to recognise
Love comes as a surprise
And its too late
Its just too late to stay
Too late to stay

We`ll always be together
However far it seems
(love never ends)
We`ll always be together
Together in electric dreams

Because the friendship that you gave
Has taught me to be brave
No matter where I go i`ll never find a better prize
(find a better prize)
Though youre miles and miles away
I see you every day I dont have to try
I just close my eyes, I close my eyes

Well always be together
However far it seems
(love never ends)
Well always be together
Together in electric dreams

Level 42 - Lessons in love

E esta heim? Lembravam-se desta, há pois é, também é uma das tais! Tenho pena que os Level 42 se tenham juntado a muitas outras bandas no caminho de esquecimento, mas por mim hei-de as avivar a todas.



Im not proud, I was wrong
And the truth is hard to take
I felt sure we had enough
But our love went overboard
Lifeboat lies lost at sea
Ive been trying to reach your shore
Waves of doubt keep drowning me

All the dreams that we were building
We never fulfilled them
Could be better, should be better
For lessons in love

For restless eyes egos burn
And the mold is hard to break
Now weve waded in too deep
And love is overboard
Heavy hearts token words
All the hopes I ever had
Fade like footprints in the sand

All the homes that we were building
We never lived in
Could be better, should be better
Lessons in love
If we lose the time before us
The future will ignore us
We should use it, we could use it, yeah
Lessons in love
Lost without love

Lessons in love
When will you ever learn
Lessons in love
When theres nowhere left to turn
Lessons in love
Dont let your spirit burn
Lessons in love
Ill wait till you return

All the dreams that we were building
We never lived them
We could lose it, we should use it
(lessons in love) lessons in love
All the homes that we were building
We never lived in
Could be better (could be better), should be better
Lessons in love
If we lose the time before us
The future will ignore us
We should use it, we could use it (good God)
Lessons in love

Boris Gardiner - I want to wake up with you

Estava eu descansadinho quando o meu irmão me fez relembrar esta música do jamaicano Boris Gardiner e foi aí que eu disse "há séculos que não ouvia isto", já não ouvia esta música para aí à 20 anitos. Mas é de facto sempre bom tornar a ouvi-la. Obrigado mano.



I wanna wake up with you-ou
I wanna be there when you open your eye-eyes
I want you to be the first thing that I see
I wanna wake up with you-ou

I wanna lay by your si-ide baby
I wanna feel every beat of your hear-eart
And throughout the night, I wanna hold you ti-ight
I wanna wake up with you-ou

All the love inside me has been slee-eeping
Waiting till the right one came alo-ong
You can share the love that I've been keeping baby
You can put the music to my so-ong

I wanna wake up with you-ou
I wanna reach out and know that you're ther-ere
I want you to be the first thing that I see-ee
I wanna wake up with you-ou

Do-do-do-dooo, Do-doo-oo
Do-do-do-dooo, Do-do-do-doo
And throughout the night, I wanna hold you ti-ight
I wanna wake up with you-ou

All the love inside me has been slee-eeping
Waiting till the right one came alo-ong
You can share the love that I've been kee-eeping
You can put the music to my song

I wamna wake up with you-ou
I wanna reach out and know that you're ther-ere
I want you to be the first thing that I see-ee
I wanna wake up with you-ou

All the love inside me has been slee-eeping
Waiting till the right one came alo-ong
You can share the love that I've been keeping baby
You can put the music to my so-ong

I wamna wake up with you
I wanna reach out and know (fade

São eles a minha inspiração

Num dia de um ano não muito distante lembrei-me: apetece-me algo, o que é que me passou na cabeça naquele momento? Paulo Fragoso, tomei a liberdade de fazer um blog com o nome da vossa rubrica "há séculos que não ouvia isto", espero que não leves a mal pois só irei contribuir para o bom nome da vossa rádio, a grande Rfm. Tenho a certeza absoluta de que se alguém responsável da Rfm ouvir e ver este blog, não dou mais que dois dias e tou a trabalhar ao pé do Zé Coimbra, Carla Rocha e Paulo Fragoso; era um tamanho privilégio para todos eles.
