Under Pressure
Song by David Bowie and Queen

Mm, mm, bah, dah
Mm, mm, bah, dah
Mm, mm, bah, dah, dah
Pressure, pushing down on me
Pressing down on you, no man ask for
Under pressure that burns a building down
Splits a family in two, puts people on streets
Bah bah bah
Bah bah bah
Di dey dah
E day dah
That’s OK
It’s the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming
“Let me out”
Tomorrow gets me higher
Pressure on people, people on streets
Deh deh deh
Bah dah bah bah bah
OK
Chipping around, kick my brains around the floor
These are the days, it never rains, but it pours
Di doh a doh
Di di bah bah bah (Ooh, ooh)
Do bah
Beh lah
People on streets
Di dah di da dey
People on streets
Di dah di dah di dah
It’s the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming
“Let me out”
Tomorrow gets me higher, higher, high
Pressure on people, people on streets
Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence, but it don’t work
Keep coming up with love
But it’s so slashed and torn
Why, why, why?
Love (love, love, love, love)
Insanity laughs, under pressure we’re cracking
Can’t we give ourselves one more chance?
Why can’t we give love that one more chance?
Why can’t we give love, give love, give love, give love
Give love, give love, give love, give love, give love
‘Cause love’s such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care for the people on the
Edge of the night, and love dares you to
Change our way of caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure

Smooth Operator
Sade

He’s laughing with another girl
And playing with another heart
Placing high stakes making hearts ache
He’s loved in seven languages
Diamond nights and ruby lights high in the sky
Heaven help him when he falls
Diamond life, lover boy
We move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy
City lights and business nights
When you require streetcar desire for higher heights
No place for beginners or sensitive hearts
When sentiment is left to chance
No place to be ending but somewhere to start
No need to ask
He’s a smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale
Face to face, each classic case
We shadow box and double cross
Yet need the chase
A license to love, insurance to hold
Melts all your memories and change into gold
His eyes are like angels but his heart is cold
No need to ask
He’s a smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator

West End Girls
Song by Pet Shop Boys

Sometimes you’re better off dead
There’s a gun in your hand and it’s pointing at your head
You think you’re mad, too unstable
Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables
In a restaurant in a West End town
Call the police, there’s a mad man around
Running down underground to a dive bar
In a West End town
In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
In a West End town, in a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
West End girls
Too many shadows, whispering voices
Faces on posters, too many choices
If, when, why, what?
How much have you got?
Have you got it, do you get it, if so, how often?
Which do you choose, a hard or soft option
In a West End town a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
In a West End town in a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
West End girls
West End girls
In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
Ooh, a West End town, in a dead end world
East End boys and West End girls
West End girls
You got a heart of glass or a heart of stone
Just you wait ’til I get you home
We’ve got no future, we’ve got no past
Here today, built to last
In every city, in every nation
From Lake Geneva to the Finland Station
In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
Oh, West End town, in a dead end world
East End boys and West End girls
West End girls
West End girls
West End girls
(How far have you been?)
Girls
East End boys
West End girls

“Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)”

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody’s looking for something

Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody’s looking for something

Hold your head up, keep your head up, movin’ on
Hold your head up, movin’ on, keep your head up, movin’ on
Hold your head up, movin’ on, keep your head up, movin’ on
Hold your head up, movin’ on, keep your head up

Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody’s looking for something

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody’s looking for something

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody’s looking for something

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody’s looking for something

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody’s looking for something…

Easy Lover
Song by Philip Bailey

Easy lover
She’ll get a hold on you, believe it
Like no other
Before you know it you’ll be on your knees
She’s an easy lover
She’ll take your heart but you won’t feel it
She’s like no other
And I’m just trying to make you see
She’s the kind of girl you dream of
Dream of keeping hold of
You’d better forget it
You’ll never get it
She will play around and leave you
Leave you and deceive you
Better forget it
Oh, you’ll regret it
No, you’ll never change her, so leave it, leave it
Get out quick, ’cause seeing is believing
It’s the only way
You’ll ever know
She’s an easy lover
She’ll get a hold on you, believe it
Like no other
Before you know it you’ll be on your knees
She’s an easy lover
She’ll take your heart but you won’t feel it
She’s like no other
And I’m just trying to make you see
You’re the one that wants to hold her
Hold her and control her
You’d better forget it
You’ll never get it
For she’ll say that there’s no other
‘Til she finds another
Better forget it
Oh, you’ll regret it
And don’t try to change her, just leave it, leave it
You’re not the only one, ooh, seeing is believing
It’s the only way
You’ll ever know, oh
No, don’t try to change her, just leave it, leave it
You’re not the only one, ’cause seeing is believing
It’s the only way
You’ll ever know
She’s an easy lover (she’s a easy lover)
She’ll get a hold on you, believe it (get a hold on you)
(She’s) like no other
Before you know it you’ll be on your knees (you’ll be down on your knees)
She’s an easy lover
She’ll take your heart but you won’t feel it (you won’t feel it)
She’s like no other
And I’m just trying to make you see (trying to make you see)
She’s an easy lover
She’ll get a hold on you, believe it (get a hold on you)
And like no other
Before you know it you’ll be on your knees (you’ll be on your knees)
(You’ll be on your knees, yeah, yeah, yeah)
She’s an easy lover
She’ll take your heart but you won’t feel it (you won’t feel it)
She’s like no other
And I’m just trying to make you see (trying to make you see)
She’s an easy lover
She’ll get a hold on you, believe it
She’s like no other…

Never Gonna Give You Up
Song by Rick Astley

We’re no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment’s what I’m thinking of
You wouldn’t get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
We’ve known each other for so long
Your heart’s been aching but you’re too shy to say it
Inside we both know what’s been going on
We know the game and we’re gonna play it
And if you ask me how I’m feeling
Don’t tell me you’re too blind to see
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give, never gonna give
(Give you up)
We’ve known each other for so long
Your heart’s been aching but you’re too shy to say it
Inside we both know what’s been going on
We know the game and we’re gonna play it
I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye

Club Sheba

@Sheba
Oh Sheba, I was wishing it didn’t turned into a full body cold. It’s hard to function when your body doesn’t feel well. I am glad you and your hubby are taking good care of yourselves with the Alka seltzer cold, along with soups and healthy drinks. How about that Anise Seeds, you can made a tea out of it. It warms the body, we also give (a very light version of it) to babies when they have colic. It’s a tea to help with stomach pains as gas too, and helps warm up the body. Not sure if my translation is coming through. Sheba please just take it easy for a few days, repair your strength and system. Don’t do so much, take it easy, eat and drink plenty of fluids. If you have Ginger and can make yourself some tea that’s good too. When I was young I would fill a glass with water 3/4 full with smashed several cloves of garlic let it sit for 30 minutes. Pinch my nose and drink it all, not sure if it does anything. In my twenties I had a real bad cold, lost my voice. Went to the doctors, he was Asian, told me about Ginger and to make tea from, got my voice back.
Sheba, please be careful, stay warm, dont overdo……….take care.

@sheba2011

Hi and a good afternoon to both of you. Glad you are both feeling a bit better. Definitely enjoy the soup. Hope you added carrots and other veggies. My grandmother used to add garlic to the mix. Though a bit peppery, it did help with the defense. Your hubby will surely enjoy this one.

Today I am going through some things and stashing items in our den. Since the guys will be here in a couple of days, it is easier to stash things elsewhere and then pull out a box or two later. Actually, I wish I thought of this sooner, Also will take the pictures down and empty the TV stand and the bookcases. I will go through everything when the job is completed.

Hubby is doing a bit better with the knee and lower back. However the dementia is not too good today. He thought the therapy would be at home and was really happy when I said we had to take a ride to the medical building. Asked me twice what day it was. Not retaining that much today. I purchased a notebook from Amazon to list the meds he is on and the dosage along with when he takes them. I need a ruler for the listings of each. Thought there was one here and I now see I will have to purchase one. This will also help him when the time comes or for a home health aide in case one is needed. Today is not a good one. I am trying to keep it together. I am hoping this is the step backward that is needed in order to go forward. Not sure.

Well, it’s back to work I go. Just take care of yourselves and do not do anything strenuous.
