Bicycle Race by Queen

Decided to search for a bicycle song since I hitched on one this morning to the train station!

Haha...and I found the most INappropriate song. to top it off, to release this song, I learnt that Queen staged a bicycle race with 65 naked girls and a clip from this race was used as the single cover. The video was originally banned, and the video had to be re-edited with colour added to censor out any offensive imagery. men?!

Still Loving You by Scorpions

Another Scorpions song...lolx...I really love the 80s it seems. My gosh..and I'm not that old..Shn't I be l likin' 90s songs? Okays, yet again, I'm not that young. This video is a little dark. Would appreaciate it if anyone could provide me to a better link. I wanted to place the Vanessa Mae and Scorpion version but the video embedding was disabled. Nonetheless, if you want to catch that version, it's available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spNOKwlVu6o&feature=related

Lyrics that is inherently timeless...



Still Loving You lyrics

Time, it needs time to win back your love again
I will be there, I will be there
Love, only love can bring back your love someday
I will be there, I will be there

Fight, babe, I'll fight to win back your love again
I will be there, I will be there
Love, only love can bring down the wall someday
I will be there, I will be there

If we go again all the way from the start
I would try to change the things that killed our love
Your pride has built a wall, so strong that I can't get through
Is there really no chance to start once again? I'm loving you

Try, baby, try to trust in my love again
I will be there, I will be there
Love, our love just shouldn't be thrown away
I will be there, I will be there

If we'd go again, all the way from the start
I would try to change the things that killed our love
Your pride has built a wall, so strong that I can't get through
Is there really no chance to start once again?

If we'd go again, all the way from the start
I would try to change the things that killed our love
Yes, I've hurt your pride, and I know what you've been through
You should give me a chance, this can't be the end

I'm still loving you
I'm still loving you
I'm still loving you
I need your love
I'm still loving you
Still loving you, baby

Still loving you
I need your love
I'm still loving you
I need your love

I'm still loving you
I need your love
I need your love

Strange Fruit by Diana Ross

This song was first sung by Billie Holiday. A very sad song with an equally sad historical background when blacks used to be hung on trees. This version is sung by Diana Ross.


Lyrics

Southern trees bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves, blood at the root
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
Pastoral scene of the gallant south
the bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
the scent of magnolia sweet and fresh
then the sudden smell of burning flesh
Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck
for the rain to gather for the wind to suck
for the sun to rot for the tree to drop
here is a strange and bitter crop
