I Feel the Earth Move

created by fuzzy and blue

(thing) by fuzzy and blue (2.2 mon) (print)   ?   (I like it!) Wed Jan 16 2002 at 20:57:30

This writeup is all yossarian's fault. There I was, minding my own business, when a glance over into the catbox revealed:

yossarian feels the earth move under his feet.

I have no idea what the topic of conversation was, but I found myself compelled to add:

fuzzy and blue sees the sky come tumbling down

Seconds later, Quizro also followed suit with the second line of this first track of Carole King's groundbreaking 1971 album, Tapestry. Finally, boi_toi chimed in with something to the effect of "I feel my heart start to trembling whenever YOOOOU'RE AROUUUUUND!" and that did it. The only way to get this song out of my head was to node it. I apologize sincerely, but again, yossarian started it!

Lyrics

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you're around
Ooh, baby, when I see your face
Mellow as the month of May
Oh, darling, I can't stand it
When you look at me that way

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you're around
Oh, darling, when you're near me
And you tenderly call my name
I know that my emotions
Are something I just can't tame
I've just got to have you, baby

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I just lose control
Down to my very soul
I get hot and cold... all over
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down...

Words and music by Carole King, 1971
