Maybe He'll Know

Maybe he'll know

I'm not so sure

Maybe he'll know

Maybe he'll be my cure

ah, ah, ah.
Maybe he'll know

I'm not so sure

Maybe he'll know

Maybe he'll be - oh
Something calls to me

I know, I know

I hear an echo start to pound like

a drum, I'm

Chanting a song, anchor me-

But don't take too long... no, no, no, no

I got an anxious feeling

Got this ache engraved in me like stone-

Don't take too longSay you'll never leave me - say you'll never go

I Had A Love

had a love

Sweeter than you'll know

Oh I had a lifetime in a moment

He was a boy

I loved so tenderly

He could have been

But he walked away - oh, oh, oh, oh

Baby don't go

I thought maybe I should have

Told you long before

Something inside is erasing

The time back to the memory-

When you were mine

Fade

I think I'm walkin' down your street

I sense a silent shuffle to my heartbeat

Why cry, I'll just fade

Fade you away
I watch your window from the street

I guess I'll etch a vision in my daydreams of you

Of you, of you, but you

Never thought I'd be so proud-

But I will never live without you

Oh, oh, oh, oh, fade

Fade you away, I will fade, fade you away

I think I'm walkin' down your street...

Anna Blue

Anna Blue oh

Anna Blue oh

Anna

Not me, not you

Just time and a sigh

On a line look in fine print-

The small town dream

To be part of the scene

You can wear it with a style

In your eyes a story never spoken

Anna Blue oh

Anne Blue oh

Anna

Just me, just you

Just a wide eyed girl

Turn around quick-

I'm walkin' my high heeled shoes

And I'll be talkin' pretty smooth

Like some souped up cosmo girl

In a stupifying world

But before I fall I wake up crying

Oh... when I sit back

I'll sigh and think...

Oh, oh, oh, oh can't blame me

A silky eyed lady

Oh, oh, oh, oh can't blame me
We could be sweethearts...

Late

My oh my it's a quarter to eight

Don't shoot me down dreamboat I'm a late date

Don't ask me no questions I ain't got a smooth line,

Please a' wait a little longer tryin' to make

it there on time

Tickety tock, oh the clock don't stop

Lazy, dizzy, daisy it's a quarter to whoops, uh, oh

Doin' nothing honey just a' thinkin' of you

So don't you give me no suggestions

while I ain't got the time

Won't ya move a little closer and a kiss

me one more time

Tickety tock, oh the clock don't stop

It doesn't matter cause

I know that you would love me too-

But I was late late late

Take A Chance

I wanna run my fingers through your hair

Squeeze your hand and tell you that I care

Park in the dark and kiss goodnight

Thrill me h-h-hold me tight

C'mon pretty baby you could maybe take

a chance with me

I'll fall still when you walk in the room

I'll look up and you'll be lookin' c-c-cool

Curled up smile upon your lips

One button low my heart just flips

C'mon pretty baby you could maybe

take a chance with me

The stars complete the melody

Could you say you belong to me

And as they ride the milkyway

Baby, baby can I have this dance

Baby, baby can you take a chance someday-

Did I tell you now

I wanna...

Just The Other Day

Just the other day-

I heard you walked out on her

Just the other day-

I heard it's not forever
You say, anyway-

You said it's not like before

Just the other day-

Did she let you go

Did she let you go.
Just the other day-

You lost the girl you adored

Just the other day-

You boyish love was the cause

Did she cost you pain

You could have held out for more

Just the other day-
Did she let you go

Did she let you go
I see your walking alone

Will you still talk to me

If she's not by your side anymore

I'm Gonna Be Strong

I can see

You're slipping away from me

And you're so afraid

That I'll plead with you to stay

But I'm gonna be strong

And let you go your way
Love is gone

There's no sense in holding on

And your pity now

Would be more than I could bear

But I'm gonna be strong

And pretend I don't care
I'm gonna be strong

And stand as tall as I can

I'm gonna be strong

And let you go along

And take it like a man
When you say it's the end

I'll hand you a line

I'll smile and say

Don't you worry I'm fine

But you'll never know darling

After you kiss me goodbye

How I'll break down and cry.

Lorraine

Long ago a lonely man stood

Off of a quiet avenue

A pretty girl in passing chanced to look

That's when he fell, fell for you
I listen to the rain

Pounding on the railing

The beat's a sweet, soft refrain

of how he found you LORRAINE
He's rocking on a porch you used to know

Here where he swore his love was true

He sips his drink and dreams the days of old

Of when he fell, fell for youI listen to the rain...

Everybody's Got An Angel

Don't worry, everybody's got an angel

Sooner or later somebody's gonna love you well

There's no hurry

So don't worry

Cause you'll find the broken hearted

Fallen- fallen- now don't you worry

Cause everybody's got an angel.
Don't worry, everybody's got an angel

Sooner or later everybody's bound to tell

There's no hurry

So don't worry

Cause you'll find the broken hearted

Fallen- fallen- now don't you worry

Cause everybody's got an angel

Biografia da Banda

Este blog é dedicado a melhor banda de rockabilly de todos os tempos: Blue Angel, formada por Cyndi Lauper, John Turi, Arthur Neilson, Johnny Morelli e Lee Brovitz.
A banda não durou muito tempo, mas foi a partir dela que surgiu uma das melhores cantoras de todos os tempos: Cyndi Lauper.
Na década de 70 Cyndi Lauper fez parte de duas bandas, Doc West e Flyer. Nesta última Cyndi cantava rock and roll de Rolling Stones, Rod Stwart e Janis Joplin.
Em 1977, depois de três anos imitando Jagger e Stwart, sua voz estava numa pior e, quando Cyndi chamou uma amiga para substituí-la na banda, esta lhe recomendou que fosse ver Katie Agresta, uma competente professora de canto de Manhattam. Katie conta que encontrou Cyndi em péssimo estado. “Quase não podendo falar, três médicos lhe haviam dito que ela nunca mais poderia cantar.”. Katie ensinou-lhe exercícios vocais e aquecimentos, e indicou-lhe uma dieta apropriada. E devagarzinho Cyndi voltou a cantar. Restaurada a voz, Lauper arranjou para cantar um night club de Manhattam. Ted Rosemblatt, seu empresário na época, foi assistí-la uma noite e levou consigo um compositor chamado John Turi, que também tocava teclado e saxofone. Cyndi e John logo se tornaram amigos e começaram a compor juntos algumas canções. Por volta de 1978, eles tinham formado juntos uma banda de rock estilo anos 50 chamada Blue Angel. Na primavera de 1979, alguns demo tapes de Blue Angel chegaram às mãos de Steve Massarsky, um advogado, mas ele não ficou impressionado: "A fita era horrível". As canções eram ruins e mal tocadas. Havia algum interesse na voz da cantora "Cyndi", mas isso era tudo. Massarsky foi conferir o Blue Angel ao vivo num clube de nome Trax. "Quando Cyndi apareceu no palco", recorda o advogado, "foi como mágica, eu nunca tinha escutado nada parecido, fiquei apaixonado, ela era magnífica!". Tão entusiasmado ficou que Massarsky pagou 5.000 dólares para comprar o contrato que Cyndi mantinha com Rosemblatt. Massarsky montou um show para o Blue Angel e convidou toda a indústria fonográfica para assistir. A reação lembra-se, foi desanimadora. "A cantora é maravilhosa, livre-se da banda!".Contudo, seis meses mais tarde a Polygram Records, ofereceu um contrato de gravação para todo o grupo. O álbum de estréia, “Blue Angel”, lançado em 1980, foi bem aceito pela crítica, vendendo 100 mil cópias, mas não pelo estilo rockabilly, que a banda julgava ser sua especialidade. Foi o espetacular alcance vocal de Cyndi que despertou o interesse das poucas pessoas que ouviram o LP. Ainda assim Cyndi resistia em se lançar em carreia solo. Entretanto, em 1982 a Polygram dispensou o Blue Angel e o grupo teve um desentendimento com Massarsky, que exigia o pagamento de 80.000 mil dólares que lhe deviam. Cyndi estava entre os integrantes que decidiram declarar falência, o que lhes foi concedido em 1983. Na ocasião, o juiz que tratou do caso disse: "Deixem a canária cantar!". Com o Blue Angel demolido, Cyndi finalmente estava pronta para a carreira solo. Mas a amizade entre os integrantes da banda não acabou. Os integrantes da banda com exceção de Cyndi formaram uma banda chamada Boppin The Blues e tocaram durante a década de 1980. John Turi saiu na turnê "A Night to Remember" de Cyndi em 1989, tocando teclado e saxofone.
Todos continuam trabalhando com música, mas seguiram caminhos diferentes.
