Our relationship is on shaky ground
We don't kiss each other like before
We don't say hello and goodbye anymore
We give each other the runaround
For the grace of God
We need to sit down to talk things over
We need the help of the Lord
Countless serious promises were made
That we must keep, cherish and honor
We must always sleep in the same bed
Until the end of time, until eternity
We must behave and act maturely
We must discuss everything thoroughly
We must smile and be nice to each other
We must live in peace and in harmony
And our love and passion must last forever.

woodland wild conceals the sasquatch
wire-fur man, to hunters, a scarce watch
runaround trails remains the sassy catch
if only, if only... but bigfoot strides quick
wondering if found, we could ask what?

Farewell Independence 106,
You served our Joseph well,
From driving lessons,
To Scottish holidays,
What stories you could tell,
Also a runaround for me,
LF52 ASV
Dearest Peugeot model 106,
Your toughness you did hide
A prang at Black Dog,
Then rear ended in Bath,
You took them in your stride,
Accepting what would be would be,
LF52 ASV
That wonderful little 106
Took Joe from boy to man
From sixth form commutes
Workplace, and pub quiz nights
And doubling as a van,
Showing the workhorse you could be
LF52 ASV
You exist no more you 106,
You're at the breaker's yard,
Paperwork all done,
Scrap fee received in full,
The farewell's been quite hard,
Goodbye our trusted jalopy
LF52 ASV

My memory flashes back
to innocent times long since gone.
those hot nights parked at lover's lane
wolfman jack playing my favorite songs.
it seems like just yesterday
when Peggy Sue was by my side
I was hoping to get to second base
but she just wanted to go for a ride.
I remember my palms starting to sweat
and the windows getting a bit steamy
I told her Buddy Holly wrote a song about you
but she didn't believe me.
so, I pulled Peggy Sue closer
and we started kissing once again
but time was of the essence
her dad wanted her home by ten.
she smiled sweetly
and gently placed her hands upon my face
she looked at me and said I was a swell guy
but this is not the time nor the place.
so, I gave her a peck on the cheek
and told her not to worry
we can take things nice and slow
I'm not in any hurry.
so, I drove her home and kissed her goodnight
but now what was I supposed to do
that's when I drove to the nearest payphone
dropped in a dime
and called up runaround Sue!

A lonely soul on the wrong side of town
Sweet life sour from constant runaround
Looking for life above her dismal place
Escaping anywhere, cast away into space
A life of misery is written on her face
Seeking the due dignity she can replace
Trying to not spend more than she earns
Buried under past, too late for concern

Days gone by,
happy days floated away,
to a sweet land of harmony,
rock n' roll there was no other
to listen to, it touched us so deeply.
Dion and the Belmonts,
no one could out do them,
"Runaround Sue", "The Wanderer",
Who could sing it better than the great one"
"Ruby Baby" got you going into outer space.
Danny and me loved that music,
at Marshall's music room, we spent
our Saturday's there, it was our home
away from home.
We used to listen to the top 40,
and not stop listening until the
last song had been played,
back in 1957 was a great
time to be young.
Danny passed away last year,
will miss him dearly, my
it won't be the same,
no more phone calls
to ask him do you remember
when this or that happened?
Our youth is so special
it only last for a short time,
and it's gone, never to come
back to us.
