quite like September morn by Neil Diamond.
September Song sung by Sid Simple
(I made the last bit up)
Does that mean we're permanently back in April, Eddie?
and of course - Earth, Wind and Fire : September
Did the big ship not sail down the alley alley O on the last day of September?
September in the Rain
It might as well rain until September
Why all that rain?
I'm glad you posted that jonnie, before I made a fool of myself and said it was by The Doobie Brothers - it was a close run thing!
Well it's a long long time from May (for May read April) to September ...
Ah - that's September Song, isn't it. Not my favourite.
Shine on, shine on harvest moon
Up in the sky, lalalalalalalalalalal tralalalalalalalalala tra la la bish.
D'you think Eddie is running out of ideas to occupy us ?
By the way what's black and white and read all over,
sorry red all over?
Just heard this brilliant item on the one o'clock news about a film about modern setting of the Easter story being pulled because Coca Cola objected to Jesus getting into a car and opening a can of coke. Monty Python couldn't have made it up.
Eddie,
Have you got one?
Jonnie, if you'd said blue and white and not at all re(a)d till they fix the ', I'd have had an answer for you!
Fifi
Oooh, can we have harvesty songs, too, then?
There's this:
(not a fave; never heard it; just thought I'd mention)
Here's one, by the lesser-known poet William Topaz McFranagall:
It is Monday the third of September,
A day which I hope you will for a very long time remember,
For, though I shall be a very long way from the Silv'ry Tay,
It is still, to me at least, a very important day,
For on that day I can expect to have lots of fun,
Because once again I shall be twenty-one.
The scansion is, I admit, a bit dodgy, so it probably needs to be either a jazz song or sorted by a rap artiste.
But what would you expect from McFranagall?
Wake me up when September ends - a song by Greenday
after realising that I put my "blue" entries on the wrong thread (duh - stuck them on the prior thread) I'll simply say "September" by David Sylvian.
oh, and "September the ninth" by Robert Wyatt
Wasn't there a Duran Duran one? I probably liked that when I was a teenager.
Can I go for a poem on this one, Eddie? September 1st, by W.H. Auden. Sombre, but not irrelevant.
