Okay I have a day off today hence all the useful threads. But I really have to ask how anyone can think "She's always a woman to me" is anything less than anti female dressed up as a romantic ballad.
 I mean - just read the lyrics - pure male pique in every line..


She can kill with a smile
She can wound with her eyes
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child,
But she's always a woman to me

She can lead you to love
She can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth
But she'll never believe you
And she'll take what you give her, as long as it's free
Yeah, she steals like a thief
But she's always a woman to me

CHORUS:
Oh--she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh--and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind

And she'll promise you more
Than the Garden of Eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you're bleedin'
But she'll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
Cause she's always a woman to me
--Mhmm--

Bridge

CHORUS:
Oh--she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh--and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind

She is frequently kind
And she's suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases
She's nobody's fool
And she can't be convicted
She's earned her degree
And the most she will do
Is throw shadows at you
But she's always a woman to me
--Mhmm--

Really not nice..

LOL my OH and I went in there just to see what it was like a couple of weeks ago..
My OH refused to accept it was a proper supermarket and has nicknamed it Knock off Nobby's.

ESSS YESSS YESSS that boots advert with 'the girls' ohhhhhhhhh i bloody hate it. In fact i hate that term in general 'the girls' "im going out with the girls" I used to date a bloke who went out every fri with "the boys". "the boys were all in their 40's" used to drive me mental....he didnt last long.
I agree with you there - I have been out a couple of times with "the girls"
To be honest I prefer to stay in with a good bottle of wine and my laptop.
Maybe I am a sociopathe..

We need a good rant I think - BB has nothing really to get our teeth into.
John Lewis is full of very silly people who like to say "Oh well I got that at John Lewis" thinking it makes them sound good.

thta's why it's so exciting.  you go in for a loaf and you come out with an oxy-acetylene welding kit and a painting by numbers picture of a kitten on a skateboard
We did manage to get 6 bottles of lucozade for ÂĢ2.00

Oh god - you just summed it up perfectly!  



I've never been in John Lewis.... but I buy Molton Brown from them online cos it's cheaper than Molton Brown (no delivery charge)    I always say I'm gonna work there one day though.... my mate works for their Waitrose division and the keep throwing money at their 'partners'

You beat me to it. 

Whilst she may have technical qualities to her voice - though even these are overrated - her choice of material has been truly woeful.  Indeed, considering the power within the industry she once had and the fact she could have worked with almost any producer and any songwriter she chose, you could argue that the career path she elected was nothing short of a disgrace and a betrayal of her natural born abilities to screech. 

Crap.
