The original was written and recorded by Sam Cooke in the early Sixties.

It's a good song.

3.) People say, that I've found a way, to make you say, that you love me.

4.) Give me an hour to kiss you, we'll walk through heavens door I'm sure, won't need a doctor to feel much better.

5.) I'll stand an hour a'knocking, knowing that my heart is mocking me, she doesn't live here anymore.

19.) I'd like to see you naked baby. I'd like to think that sometime maybe, tonight? If that's alright?

Down to the last four.

I think the Cat Stevens version of Another Saturday Night is much better than the Sam Cooke version, it has more..... desperation.

Oh. Go on then.
Sorry for the delay, I can only really do these when I'm in a good mood.

1.) You took me to a restaurant, off Broadway, to tell me who you are.

2.) I'm going where the sun keeps shining through the pouring rain.

3.) Have you seen her dressed in blue? See the sky in front of you.

4.) Well, its a marvellous night to make romance 'neath the shadow of October skies.

5.) Is there something that you want me to do, yeah? (Yes we have a job for you.) You know I'm only here to please you.

6.) You know you've got to grow, you've got to learn by your mistakes, you've got to die a little every day just to try to stay awake.

7.) All of the letters, in all of the words, in all the books, all over the world, are nothing but sounds and vowels and nouns for talking to strangers. That's all they're worth.

8.) Yes, yes, dear, dear, perhaps this year, or maybe even now.

9.) I don't care what they say, I'm not about to pay nobodys way, cause its all about the dark in me.

10.) Girl, I'm just a vampire for your love. And I'm gonna suck ya!

11.) I don't know why sometimes I get frightened. You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lying.

12.) I'm crying here, what have you done? I thought it would be fun.

13.) It was last night, I was feeling something wasn't right, there was not another soul in sight, only you, only you.

14.) We don't follow fashions, that would be a joke. You know we're going to set them, set them.

15.) I'll find somebody wait and see. Who am I kidding, only me. Because no one could take you place, guess that I'm just a hopless case.

16.) I know that all you're asking for is a little place in my heart, that I don't find it easy to give.

17.) The case is pulled from under the bed, she made a call to a sympathetic friend and made arrangements.

18.) The other day I saw you walking. You looked as pretty as a peach. You looked so near but somehow you're out of reach.

19.) No regrets, no love, no tears. Living on my own was the least of my fears.

20.) Well I don't really want to know but I'll stay quiet and then I'll go and you won't have no cause to think about me.


10.) & 14.) are easy
6.) is a little tricky
18.) is a bit difficult
5.) gains an extra bonus internet point.

As usual, anyone who uses google will be forced to listen the new Michael Ball album..... on headphones.

Enjoy! smile
