SING!... AMY...SING!
Amy Winehouse and Paul Weller - Don't go to strangers (2006)
Don't Go To Strangers
Words & Music by Redd Evans, Arthur Kent & Dave Mann
------------------------------------------------
Build your dreams to the stars above,
But when you need someone to love,
Don't go to strangers, my darling, come to me.
Play with fire till your fingers burn,
And when there's no place for you to turn,
Don't go to strangers, my darling, come to me.
For when you hear that call to follow your heart,
You'll follow your heart, I know.
I've been through it all, for I'm an old hand,
And I'll understand if you go, so,
Make your mark for your friends to see,
But when you need more than company,
Don't go to strangers, my darling,
Come to me.
SING!... AMY...SING!
Amy winehouse - Teach me tonight (2005)
Teach Me Tonight
Words & Music by Sammy Cahn & Gene DePaul
-------------------------------------------
Did you say I've got a lot to learn?
Well, don't think I'm trying not to learn.
Since this is a perfect spot to learn
Teach me tonight.
Starting with the A-B-C of it,
Right down to the X-Y-Z of it,
Help me solve the mystery of it
Teach me tonight.
The sky's a blackboard high above you
And if a shooting star goes by
I'll use that star to write "I Love You"
A thousand times across the sky.
One thing isn't very clear, my love
Should the teacher stand so near, my love?
Graduation's almost here, my love
Teach me tonight...Come on and teach me tonight.
SING!... AMY...SING!
Amy winehouse - Long Day (2001)..Wow!
"Long day" was written on September 2001 (9-11) and recorded as a Demo with simple instruments in 2003 for Amy's "Frank" album but was never released until now. Rumour has it that she didn't like that demo, "it was too pop", as she put it. In my perspective, it's not so much the style of writing that Wows me but her ability of bringing a senseless, simple song to become something special that's easy and delicious to the ears by shaping the song with her own trademark melodic/stylistic singing at the tender age of 17 years old or even younger. How often do we get to witness this kind of REAL talent? I should know because I've been involved in music for a long time.
wOOdy

Amy winehouse - Stronger Than Me (2003)
Stronger Than Me
You should be stronger than me
You been here seven years longer than me
Don't you know you supposed to be the man?
Not pale in comparison to who you think I am
You always wanna talk it through
I don't care
I always have to comfort you
When I'm there
But that's what I need you to do
Stroke my hair
I've forgotten all of young love's joy
Feel like a lady, but you my lady boy
You should be stronger than me
But instead you're longer than frozen turkey
Why'd you always put me in control?
All I need is for my man to live up to his role
You always wanna talk it through
I'm O.K
I always have to comfort you
Everyday
But that's what I need you to do
Are you gay?
I've forgotten all of young love's joy
Feel like a lady, but you my lady boy
He said 'the respect I made you earn, thought you had so many lessons to learn'
I said 'you don't know what love is get a grip'
Sounds as if you're reading from so other tired script
I'm not gonna meet your mother anytime
I just wanna grip your body over mine
So tell me why you think that's a crime
I've forgotten all of young love's joy
Feel like a lady and you my lady boy
You should be stronger than me
