  Leo Song of the Day

  from Brad Kronen’s
  “Welcome to the Zodiac” Series

   

  Monday is Leo night and since they like things in a big dramatic way, I thought I would have 2 songs that would sum up Leo energy for a more dramatic effect. And interestingly enough both spotlight songs are sung by Leo girls who love basking in the spotlight!  The first is by Kate Bush, called "O England My Lion Heart". England has been a country that used the symbol of the lion to represent their ruling figures for centuries. And this song reminds me of the Queen Mum, herself a Leo who during the Nazi Blitzkrieg, refused to leave London and chose to be in the bomb shelters rather than leave her people. How's that for embodying Leo's traits of leadership, royalty and bravery?  Kate's lyrics are copyrighted, so this is for EDUCATIONAL purposes only - it really is this time.) 
  
  Oh! England, My Lionheart!
  
  

  Oh! England, My Lionheart, 
  I'm in your garden, fading fast in your arms. 
  The soldiers soften, the war is over. 
  The air raid shelters are blooming clover. 
  Flapping umbrellas fill the lanes-- 
  My London Bridge in rain again. 
  
  Oh! England, my Lionheart! 
  Peter Pan steals the kids in Kensington Park. 
  You read me Shakespeare on the rolling Thames-- 
  That old river poet that never, ever ends. 
  Our thumping hearts hold the ravens in, 
  And keep the tower from tumbling. 
  Oh! England, my Lionheart, 
  Oh! England, my Lionheart, 
  Oh! England, my Lionheart, 
  I don't want to go. 
  
  Oh! England, my Lionheart! 
  Dropped from my black Spitfire to my funeral barge. 
  Give me one kiss in apple-blossom. 
  Give me one wish, and I'd be wassailing 
  In the orchard, my English rose, 
  Or with my shepherd, who'll bring me home. 
  
  The Second is Madonna's "Express Yourself". Think what you like about Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone, but that Leo knows how to take full advantage of a spotlight and entertain the masses in her bigger than life Leo way!  Leo is ruled by the Sun, which represents the overall self or ego but also is a symbol of one's confidence and self respect - 2 qualities that Leo guys and girls NEVER seem to lack and sometimes can possess ummm, a tad too much of at times. Leo's natural domain is the 5th house which is the house of: Gambling, One's Children be they Brain or otherwise, and most importantly of Romance and Creative Self Expression.  When you see the lyrics to this ditty, if it's not THE anthem for the 5th house, then I"m Sean Penn - Madge's first hubby who has won not one but two of drama’s highest award of recognition, the Oscar.Now with everything stated so far about the Leo personality, ready for some drama queen shock? Madonna and Sean Penn are both LEOS (crowd panics and is heard screaming while running out of every exit door possible.) Can you imagine?  Their marriage wasnt just a matter of 2 kings ruling the castle, it was more like 2 intergalatic Titan sized Emporers of Ego trying to hold court while sitting in the same papazon chair from Pier One Imports - HEADS WILL ROLL!  Respect your self sure, but a marriage that is a daily Power Struggle akin to the War of the Worlds? This Leo Ascendant will stay single, thanks anyway though!
  
  Express Yourself 
  
  [Spoken:]
  Come on girls
  Do you believe in love?
  'Cause I got something to say about it
  And it goes something like this
  
  [Chorus:]
  
  Don't go for second best baby
  Put your love to the test
  You know, you know, you've got to
  Make him express how he feels
  And maybe then you'll know your love is real
  
  You don't need diamond rings
  Or eighteen karat gold
  Fancy cars that go very fast
  You know they never last, no, no
  What you need is a big strong hand
  To lift you to your higher ground
  Make you feel like a queen on a throne
  Make him love you till you can't come down
  (You'll never come down)
  
  [chorus]
  
  Long stem roses are the way to your heart
  But he needs to start with your head
  Satin sheets are very romantic
  What happens when you're not in bed
  You deserve the best in life
  So if the time isn't right then move on
  Second best is never enough
  You'll do much better baby on your own
  (Baby on your own)
  
  [chorus]
  
  Express yourself
  (You've got to make him)
  Express himself
  Hey, hey, hey, hey
  So if you want it right now, make him show you how
  Express what he's got, oh baby ready or not
  
  [Intermediate:]
  
  And when you're gone he might regret it
  Think about the love he once had
  Try to carry on, but he just won't get it
  He'll be back on his knees
  
  To express himself
  (You've got to make him)
  Express himself
  Hey hey
  
  What you need is a big strong hand
  To lift you to your higher ground
  Make you feel like a queen on a throne
  Make him love you till you can't come down
  (You'll never come down)
  
  [intermediate]
  
  So please
  
  [chorus]
  
  Express yourself
  (You've got to make him)
  Express himself
  Hey, hey, hey, hey
  So if you want it right now, make him show you how
  Express what he's got, oh baby ready or not
  Express yourself
  (You've got to make him)
  So you can respect yourself
  Hey, hey
  So if you want it right now, then make him show you how
  Express what he's got, oh baby ready or not
