Re: [Honey] Re: Eddi lyrics

Eddi's version of Si Kahn's "What You Do With What You've Got" differs 
slightly from the original.  Lyrics for Eddi's version below.

I don't know if anyone saw Eddi's concert at the Ashcroft Theatre in 
Croydon in June but someone from the audience requested this song and 
it was obvious that this was not a number they had rehearsed.  After a 
chat with Graham Henderson and Boo, Eddi just started singing 
unaccompanied and then Boo joined in and Colin Reid then Graham and 
Christine.  It was one of the most magical and moving things I have 
ever witnessed in an auditorium anywhere in the world and I had to 
travel to CROYDON to see it.!!!  LOL

The woman never ceases to amaze!

WHAT YOU DO WITH WHAT YOU'VE GOT

You must know someone like him - he was tall and strong and lean
With a body like a greyhound and a mind so sharp and keen
But his heart just like a laurel grew twisted round itself
Till almost everything he did brought pain to someone else

It's not just what you're born with
It's what you choose to bear
It's not how big your share is
It's how much you can share
It's not the fights you dreamed of
It's those you really fought
It's not what you've been given
It's what you do with what you've got

What's the use of two strong legs if you only run away
And what's the use of the finest voice if you've nothing good to say
What's the use in  strength and muscle if you only push and shove
And what's the use of two good ears if you can't hear those you love

What's the use of two strong legs if you only run away
And what's the use of the finest voice, higher higher
What's the use in strength and muscle if you only push and shove
And what's the use of two good ears if you can't hear those you love

Between those who use their neighbours and those who use the cane
Between those in constant power and those in constant pain
Between those who run to glory and those who cannot run
Tell me which ones are the cripples and which ones touch the sun

Which ones touch the sun...
