Thread Name: Lyr ADD: Peter Pan and Me (Mickey MacConnell)
Subject: RE: REQ: Peter Pan and me
Humpty dumpty was pushed, Right ver the garden wall Humpty dumpty was pushed, And nobody knew it at all, all the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put Humpty together again...

I didn't try title or phrases in the DT, but I tried Tommy Sands (2 songs, including the beautiful but tragic There were roses) and Colm Sands (nothing). I sometimes mix up which of the two brothers wrote a song. I'd like to get "Whatever you say, say nothing" (..when you talk about you know what, For if you know who should hear you, Yoou know what you'll get/ They'll take you away to you know where for you wouldn't know how long./So for you know who's sake Don't let anyone hear you singing this song) (Tommy?) and the one about "Marching" (Colm?) - that the solution to the parades issue would be to let the marchers parade around a special arena.

Mickey MacConnell has a neat one about politician speak - sometning like "I'm awfully glad you asked me that for at this point in time, Concerning negotiations that are in the pipeline... ...I hope I've made things clear"
