Désirée potato

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Désirée is a red-skinned [well, when i have been under the sun] main crop potato originally bred in the Netherlands in 1962. It has yellow flesh [i'm chinese!] with a distinctive flavour and is a favourite with allotment-holders because of its resistance to drought [how true! I drink very little water], although it is not well suited to organic growing. It is a versatile, fairly waxy variety which is firm and holds its shape and useful for all methods of cooking; from roasting to mashing and salads.

Its recent popularity in the UK is attributed to TV chef Delia Smith.

Desiree 1977 Smash hit by Neil Diamond
It was the third of june
On that summers day
Well I became a man
At the hands of a girl
Almost twice my age
And she came to me
Just like a morning sun
And it wasnt so much
Her words as such
As the way they were sung
It was the way they were sung

Desiree
Oh, desiree
There I was found
By the sweet passion sound
Of your loving song
Time was right, the night was long
Remember, desiree
Oh, desiree
Somehow I knew
I could only have you
til the morning light
If only for that single night
Sweet desiree, you make it right

Then came the fourth of june
On that sleepless night
Well I tossed and I turned
While the thought of her burned
Up and down my mind
For she was there and gone
Without one regret
But she continues on
Like the words of a song
I could not forget
I could not forget

Desiree
Oh, desiree
There I was found
By the sweet passion sound
Of your loving song
Time was right, the night was long
Remember, desiree
Oh, desiree
And though somehow I knew
I could only have you
til the morning light
The night was long, the time was right
Do you remember desiree

Desiree by Left Banke
Everything returns again
Both the laughter and the rain

She is living somewhere for a while
Still I ask her in my lonely way to stay

Desiree desiree
Now she's
Leaving

Desiree you know
How it hurts me
Living alone through all the years
Nothing can hold the tears in me

Everything remains the same
Yet she answers not her name
Still if I could
Look beyond these skies
Standing here again before my eyes I'd see

Desiree desiree
Now she's
Leaving

Desiree you know
How it hurts me
Where do I run to
Is it real
Nothing but pain I feel for real

Desiree you know
How it hurts me

Living alone through all the years
Nothing can hold the tears in me

Desiree
La la la la la
La la la la la

Desiree by Keith Urban
It's killin' me to write the word "goodbye"
I've wadded up and tossed a thousand tries
We both know the reason
There ain't nothing to explain
But I know that my leavin'
Will spare us both the pain

[Chorus]
Desiree I can't hold you any longer
Desiree you love his money more than me
And the taxi's at the gate
I guess all that's left to say
Is in teardrops at the bottom of the page
"I love you Desiree"

It'd be easier to leave if I were mad
But it's hard to lose the best you'll ever have
And to write this note to you
Was the hardest thing to do
But not as hard as bein' a poor boy
Who can't afford a girl like you

[Repeat Chorus]

God, I love you Desiree
But I just can't take it anymore
I won't be around for your goodbye
I won't be around for your goodbye
You love his money more than me
I won't be around for your goodbye
You love his money more than me
I won't be around for your goodbye
Oh you love his money, you love it more than me
I was just a fool who couldn't see
That you love his money, you love it more than me

Okay okay, enough. I dont like the lyrics of the last song.
Goodbye goodnight.
