He's a guy who ought to know You can walk right through those pearly gates if you've been a P R O been a P R O OH OH we've gone astray We've lost our way. We're about to take a fall If we don't get together soon you know old Lucifer will call and when you let the devil on the bay a good race can turn bad with missing marks and general recalls But not that giant sailing race up in the sky where the sound of sailor voices makes those angels want to cry every race is out audition all we've got to do is die to join that giant sailing race up in the sky ' OH OH that giant sailing race up in the sky where the sounds of sailor voices makes those angels want to cry Every race is our audition All we got to do is die to join that giant sailing race up in the sky Well every race is our audition All we've got to do is die to join that giant sailing race up it the sky The link to the music.... It will open up realplayer (if you have it) and play the tune. You must substitute the words for the ones used...They simply got it wrong... http://206.180.232.42/clips/ram/choirinthesky.ram
Wow. I've been busy for the holidays and when I checked in here at TLF there's a thread with my name in it. My first.....(sniff).....I'm....(sniff)....touched. I'll have to get down the the Boogie Barn (my studio) and get cracking on that song. Hey gouvernail, that is one odd tune (the original). Where do find these things?
singers.com this one is from the Bobs Bradley tossed this off the laser section. I should have included laser in the words ...I guess??
Come ON Fred...Does it really have anything to do with "sailing, racing, rigging, parts, etc." That section is intended for serious laser discussion, however, I enjoy threads like this, but they belong in the Open Discussion area. Thanks for understanding,
It was not a gripe. Whine maybe...It didn't have laser anywhere in the words or I would have griped. But it didn't so I din't Unwhiningly Fred
Well, I'd say that that leaves out Gouvernail, but then he might whine some more, so I won't say it. I'd also say that think I like smart-alecky Gouv better than whiny Gouv, but that might sound like whining, and we don't want that, privileges or no. Merrily
