Music - My drive to the office

I have a 20 minute drive to the office daily and usually listen to music mixed on a USB drive. I decided to share this mornings drives music with all you music lovers out there. There were only four songs and they were a rather eclectic mix.

The first tune was halfway through from my drive home last night ..

Dreamer - The Tallest Man on Earth

I'm just a dreamer but I'm hanging on
Though I am nothing big to offer
I watch the birds, how they dive in then gone
It's like nothing in this world's ever still

And I'm just a shadow of your thoughts in me
But sun is setting, shadows growing
A long cast figure will turn into night
It's like nothing in this world ever sleeps
lyrics

Next up was that amazing guitarist Robin Trower ....

Bridge of Sighs - Robin Trower

The sun don't shine
The moon don't move the tides
To wash me clean

Sun don't shine
The moon don't move the tides
To wash me clean

Why so unforgiving and why so cold?
Been a long time crossing bridge of sighs

Cold wind blows
The Gods look down in anger
On this poor child
Lyrics

Did you appreciate that guitar, did you crank up the volume?.... he had a style of his own..love it!!

Another shift in pace as Tom Waits chimed in

I hope that I don't fall in Love with you - Tom Waits

Well, I hope that I don't fall in love with you
Cause falling in love just makes me blue
Well, the music plays and you display your heart for me to see
I had a beer and now I hear you calling out for me
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you

Well, the room is crowded, people everywhere
And I wonder, should I offer you a chair?
Well, if you sit down with this old clown, I'll take that frown and break it
Before the evening's gone away, I think that we can make it
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you

Well, the night does funny things inside a man
These old tomcat feelings you don't understand
Well, I turn around to look at you, you light a cigarette
I wish I had the guts to bum one, but we've never met
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you
Lyrics

And the last track was halfway through as I pulled into my parking bay ... in a good mood having listened to some of my favorite music.

Mack the Knife - Bobby Darin

Oh the shark, babe
Has such teeth, dear
And he shows them
Pearly white
Just a jackknife
Has old Macheath, babe
And he keeps it
Out of sight

You know when that shark bites
With his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows
Start to spread
Fancy gloves, though
Wears ol' Macheath, babe
So there's never, never a trace of red

Now, on the side walk, ooh Sunday morning, uh huh
Lies a body just oozing life. EEK!
And someone's sneaking round the corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?
Lyrics

For the record (pun intended) I make my compilations from music CD's I have purchased. I do NOT believe in music or book piracy.

Thanks for listening and reading .... as always, keep on Steemin ...
