Song Lyric Sunday – April 12 2020 – Diamond /Emerald /Jade /Pearl /Ruby /Sapphire

Jim Adams’ Song Lyric Sunday gives us the chance to share familiar, and sometimes not so familiar, songs. This week I’ve chosen to link to the word Ruby.

If you fancy sharing one of your favourite songs you can find out how to participate, and also listen to all the great entries, here.

I’m being very sparse with my details this week. I’ll not bother you with any reasons, just that I do not seem to have very much time to blog at the moment!

So here goes. My song is Ruby, by the Kaiser Chiefs. Here is the original recording.

Here is a live 2009 recording at a small venue:

 

and a recording of a performance at T in the Park 2014

Ruby

Kaiser Chiefs

Let it never be said that romance is dead 
‘Cause there’s so little else occupying my head 
There is nothing I need, ‘cept the function to breathe 
But I’m not really fussed doesn’t matter to me 

Ruby Ruby Ruby Ruby 
Do ya do ya do ya do ya 
Know what your doing, doing to me 
Ruby Ruby Ruby Ruby 

Due to lack of interest 
Tomorrow is canceled 
Let the clocks be reset and the pendulums held 
‘Cause there’s nothing at all ‘cept the space in between 
Finding out what you’re called and repeating your name 

Ruby Ruby Ruby Ruby 
Do ya do ya do ya do ya 
Know what your doing, doing to me 
Ruby Ruby Ruby Ruby 

Could it be could it be that you’re joking with me 
And you don’t really see you with me 
Could it be could it be that you’re joking with me 
And you don’t really see you with me 

Ruby Ruby Ruby Ruby 
Do ya do ya do ya do ya 
Know what your doing, doing to me 
Ruby Ruby Ruby Ruby 
Do ya do ya do ya do ya 
What your doing, doing to me
