@the-velderado: Thx, Eric. Yeah I guess the story is kind of sad. Was tapping into the folk tradition of writing about the sometimes tragic consequences of romantic love.

How this went so long without repost I do not understand - Fantastic!

Your everything I ever wanted

Brasil precisa balancar -  
 means Brazil needs to swing but it can also 
  mean  to stay in balance ...


If you have some give away 
For the  rhythm of samba
Come soon to the  samba, come
Brazil needs to swing and keep balance

Just get in that tone
I only dance with somebody the samba like this 
 samba which swings well
 the bossa which brings  that  swing

This is the sound
This is the  sound of the heart as well 
Enough to  follow
The heart is no better than the good samba

Have a fab weekend Guys, Hugs Al

RIP RIP RIP (THEM FLOWERS APART)

(Barry Hope)

VERSE ONE:

I heard you bought
Me flowers today
Somehow you thought
They'd make everything ok
You told the florist
To give you the purist
Most radiant floral bouquet

But when you said what they were for
She just laughed and let you know

CHORUS:

I'm gonna rip rip rip them flowers apart
Just like you rip ripped my heart
If you think flowers
Turn back the hours
Boy you're not very smart
I'm gonna rip rip rip them flowers apart
Each precious petal will be torn in half
And when the ripping's done
Boy you better run
‘Cause the flowers are just the start

VERSE TWO:

Mother said
You called at her home
She asked you
To leave me alone
You said you're sorry
And you've got something for me
The prettiest flowers you've ever known

But before she slammed the door
She made sure to let you know

CHORUS:

I'm gonna rip rip rip them flowers apart
Just like you rip ripped my heart
If you think flowers
Turn back the hours
Boy you're not very smart
I'm gonna rip rip rip them flowers apart
Each precious petal will be torn in half
And when the ripping's done
Boy you better run
‘Cause the flowers are just the start

BRIDGE:

Now face to face we stand
Flowers there in your hand
Pass them over
So I can show ya
What a girl like me can do
To flowers from a boy like you
I can’t wait a
Moment longer

What am I gonna do?

CHORUS:

I'm gonna rip rip rip them flowers apart
Just like you rip ripped my heart
If you think flowers
Turn back the hours
Boy you're not very smart
I'm gonna rip rip rip them flowers apart
Each precious petal will be torn in half
And when the ripping's done
Boy you better run
‘Cause the flowers are just the start

I’m ripping I’m ripping I’m rip rip ripping
I’m ripping I’m ripping I’m rip rip ripping
I’m ripping I’m ripping I’m rip rip ripping
I’ve ripped them flowers apart
