I’ve always loved Elvis Costello and grew up with the famous songs of Burt Bacharach in the background….’Raindrops keep falling on my head’ seems to stick with me. So combine the both of them and you have an album of sublime poetry and music! Download it right now!!



Now I have nothing

So God give me strength

'Cos I'm weak in her wake

And if I'm strong I might still break

And I don't have anything to share

That I won't throw away into the air

That song is sung out

This bell is rung out

She was the light that I'd bless

She took my last chance of happiness


So God give me strength

God give me strength

I can't hold on so God give me strength


When the phone doesn't ring

And I'm lost in imagining

Everything that kind of love is worth

As I tumble back down to the earth

That song is sung outT

his bell is rung out

She was the light that I'd bless

She took my last chance of happiness


So God give me strength

God if she'd grant me her indulgence and decline I might as well

Wipe her from my memory

Fracture the spell

As she becomes my enemy


Maybe I was washed out

Like a lip-print on his shirt

See, I'm only human

I want him to hurt

I want him I want him to hurt

Since I lost the power to pretend

That there could ever be a happy ending


That song is sung out

This bell is rung out

She was the light that I'd bless

She took my last chance of happiness

So God give me strength

God give me strength
