  Never An Everyday Thing
Recorded by Granny's Intentions
1968 - Deram DM(I)214 / Hilda The Bilda
_________________________________________
Out with the crowd every night,
Follow the big city lights,
You think that you're living
You've no time for giving,
You just take whatever you like

But baby it's not like they say
Love doesn't come every day,
Living is one thing but
Loving is something,
You can't let the chance slip away.

Slow down, not too fast,
Hold on, make it last,
'Cause when love comes
It's never an everyday thing,
Slow down take your time,
Hold on and you'll find
That when love comes,
It's never an everyday thing.

Maybe you think love's a game
People you meet are the same
One day you choose them
The next day you lose them
And never remember their names
But baby you've got to believe
That love is a thing to achieve
Don't be in doubt love
You can't live without love,
It's something that everyone needs

Slow down.....

  Morning Dew (Tim Rose / Bonnie Dobson)
Recorded by Sugarshack
1968 - Tribune TRS112
__________________________________________
Walk me out in the morning dew mama
Walk me out in the morning dew today;
Can't walk you out in the morning dew mama,
Can't walk you out in the morning dew today.

Thought I heard a young man cry mama
Thought I heard a young man cry today;
You didn't hear no young man crying mama
You didn't hear no young man cry at all

Thought I heard a young girl cry mama,
Thought I heard a young girl cry today;
You didn't hear no young girl crying mama,
You didn't hear no young girl cry at all.

Now, there's no more morning dew
Now, there's no more morning dew
What they've been saying all these years is true
Now, there's no more morning dew.

  The House With The Whitewashed Gable
(Neil Levinson - new lyrics by Kevin Dunne)
Recorded by Paul & The Deep Set / Joe Dolan & The Drifters 1967
________________________________________________________
Dum-de-dum, dum-de-dum-de-dum, dum-de-dum-dum-dum

I'm in love with the girl who lives
In the house with the whitewashed gable
And every time she looks my way
My poor heart seems to say:
I'm in love with the girl who lives
In the house with the whitewashed gable
And I won't rest until she marries me.

Dum-de-dum, dum-de-dum-de-dum, dum-de-dum-dum-dum

So I knocked on the door of the pretty little house
Just as soon as I was able
And Mary Lou said 'Hi' to me,
Now I'm as happy as I can be
'Cause I'm in love with the girl who lives
In the house with the whitewashed gable

Her eyes are baby blue
And her hair's so pretty too,
If she'd just be my girl
It would be a wonderful world for me

'Cause I'm in love with the girl who lives
In the house with the whitewashed gable
And I won't rest until she marries -
She just said she'd marry me!

  Holiday Girl (McIlroy)
Recorded by The Newmen
Tribune TRS104 / Loveland Harbour
_________________________________________
Well you're all dressed up for a date girl,
That's the fourth different guy in a week girl

So you think you're having nothing but fun,
You think there's nothing to it,
Well you had my love and you threw it away,
You had my love and you blew it.

Holiday girl, always out on the street,
Holiday girl, never got time for me,
Holiday girl, spend your life in the sun
But winter has to come.

Well your boyfriends take you out in their cars
And all I've got is my two feet
But they take you to dine and you drink the best wine
But I go to a coffee-bar to eat.

Holiday girl, now you're in the big-time
Holiday girl, and you're no friend of mine,
Holiday girl, when your holiday's through
The sun won't shine on you.

Instrumental break

You're a holiday girl and you know it,
And you're always ready to show it.

Holiday girl, now youre heart has turned cold
Holiday girl, you're just digging for gold
Holiday girl, but when the tables are turned
You'll get your fingers burned.
Holiday girl....

  So Sad (To Watch Good Love Go Bad)
Recorded by The Greenbeats
1965 - 7N15843 / I'm On Fire
__________________________________________
We used to have good times together
But now I feel them slip away,
It makes me cry to see love die
So sad to watch good love go bad.

Remember how you used to feel, dear
You said nothing could change your mind,
It breaks my heart to see us part,
So sad to watch good love go bad.

Is it any wonder that I feel so blue,
When I know for certain that I'm losing you?

Remember how you used to feel, dear
You said nothing could change your mind
It breaks my heart to see us part
So sad to watch good love go bad

So sad to watch good love go bad

(Originally recorded by The Everly Brothers)
