Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Rab Noakes songs From: GUEST,JMCC Date: 03 Jul 00 - 08:55 AM Herma, No problem with the first four, all from "Do you see the lights." Will be in touch with lyrics. Not so sure about "Mariner" though. Any more info?. Will double check albums in case it's one I've forgotten about. If all else fails can check it out with Robert (Rab) himself. love, john. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Rab Noakes songs From: Herma Date: 04 Jul 00 - 02:50 PM John, Thanks for your trouble so far! Second Mariner's song appears not to be a Rab Noakes song, but written by a P.Morgan. Do you know anything about him by chance?? Will wait for you to get in touch, there's no hurry !! Love, Herma |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Rab Noakes songs From: Herma Date: 31 Jul 00 - 03:48 PM John, Just to get back to my request: were you able to find any lyrics of the above mentioned songs? Have been out of touch for a while, due to the holidays etc. Will you let me know? Thanks, Love, Herma |

I've been singing this song for 30 years!! |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Rab Noakes songs From: GUEST,Mal Date: 22 Jun 08 - 04:48 AM It's "Frisco Depot" from the "Red Pump Special" album. It's not actually a Rab Noakes song, but written by Mickey Newbury. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Rab Noakes songs From: GUEST,michael Date: 27 Dec 09 - 02:32 PM Can anyone tell me where this is from? I heard Rab sing it in the early 70s "and when you get home, all the good and the bad and all of the hardships, some purpose will have had" |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Rab Noakes songs From: GUEST Date: 11 Jan 26 - 06:56 AM just heard a song with a line 'looks like we're stickin' together'- I'm told it's by Rab Noakes- 9s that right? |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Rab Noakes songs From: Johnny J Date: 11 Jan 26 - 07:23 AM "Together Forever" Also recorded by Lindisfarne. Found these on a quick search. Pretty sure they are right. "You and me, sitting on a bench Watching the day go by No one paying us any attention Not even to ask us why Sunshine in our eyes We'll watch it set and we'll watch it rise You and me, sitting on a bench Watching the day go by You and me, sitting on a bus And the front seat at the top Watching the people who don't look like us And going way past our stop Traveling everywhere We got no money, but what do we care? You and me, sitting on a bus And the front seat at the top Ooh, looks like we're sticking together Ooh, looks like lasting forever You and me by the side of the road In the morning feeling bright Watching cars coming and watching them go Still thinking we'll be home tonight As the day goes on and the lifts are few We think it might take us a day or two You and me by the side of the road In the morning feeling bright Ooh, looks like we're sticking together Ooh, looks like lasting forever You and me, sitting in a bar Drinking the night away Although together we've travelled so far We can still find something to say Straighten out the problems of the world Then go looking out for some girls You and me, sitting in a bar Drinking the night away" |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Rab Noakes songs From: Sol Date: 13 Jan 26 - 01:51 PM Here's one of them, Herma. WITHOUT ME JUST WITH YOU It's been a long lonesome day, without you Jenny And there's been nothing anyone could say to ease my mind There's been a queue of mystery callers, at my door this afternoon And it was easy to pretend that one of them was you Winter came this morning, with some kind of vengeance And there's been snow all around my ankles and my throat I've been walking through this city straining my eyes almost blind But I saw nobody who looked a bit like you The evening has been cold around my fireplace And my gramophone's been tearing up my soul Drank my wine and close my eyes, saw the faces? and spoke so wise But the only thing, I talked about was you If tomorrow I'm still feeling, like I do tonight I'll be struggling up the stairs, to reach the street And in my eyes do no more, than when this happened before I'll be back again, without me just with you |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Rab Noakes songs From: Sol Date: 13 Jan 26 - 02:49 PM "East Neuk Misfortune" I chased a dream all day, watching it fly in the air I chased it clean away, and I can’t find it anywhere I never saw one familiar face And I’m wondering just what’s wrong with this place I wandered into the East, on early closing day Looking for the ones, who decided that they would stay All of my friends should be here soon But I’m tired of travelling and my piano’s out of tune I don’t know why I’m here or what I expect to find Maybe I’m looking for, something I might have left behind I chased a dream all day, watching it fly in the air I chased it clean away, and I can’t find it anywhere I never saw one familiar face And I’m wondering just what’s wrong with this place Standing on the main dock, taking in the view of the bay Watching where the river flows, and the sea takes it away Watching a fisherman casting his line And the Paper Mill men working out their time I think I’ll have to go and write her a letter Or maybe I’ll telephone, although yesterday would have been a whole lot better I chased a dream all day, watching it fly in the air I chased it clean away, I’ve been looking for it everywhere All of my friends should be here soon But I’m tired of travelling and my piano’s out of tune |
