Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say.

After 21 years of marriage, these lyrics still make me squeeze her hand and hold my breath while we drive somewhere. Could be in the midst of a fight, party anything, and it gets me in the belly every time. Love is as slippery as it is rare. 

 

Charlie Sexton - Impressed. 

 

“Love is gentle, love is kind
Doesn't poison baby's wine
Isn't jealous or provoked
Doesn't quit or give up hope”

The Waterboys.

 

I wish I was a fisherman 
Tumblin' on the seas 
Far away from dry land 
And it's bitter memories 

Castin' out my sweet line 
With abandonment and love 
No ceiling bearin' down on me 
Save the starry sky above 

With light in my head 
With you in my arms

 

I wish I was the brakeman 
On a hurtlin fevered train 

Crashin head long into the heartland 
Like a cannon in the rain 
With the feelin of the sleepers 
And the burnin of the coal 

Countin the towns flashin by 
And a night that's full of soul 
With light in my head 
With you in my arms

 

And I know I will be loosened 
From the bonds that hold me fast 
And the chains all around me 
Will fall away at last 

And on that grand and fateful day 
I will take thee in my hand 
I will ride on a train 
I will be the fisherman 

 

With light in my head 
You in my arms
Light in my head 
You in my arms

Light in my head 
You
With light in my head 
You in my arms

I've got 2 chickens to paralyze

Won't you

Pack the bags with forks & knives

 

(youtube gem that I figured needed sharing)

I see your Eddie Money and raise you some Billy Joel

 

You made the rice, I made the gravy,
But it just may be some tuna fish you're lookin for...

I don't want no drama
I just wanna be your diamond, babe
Guaranteed to be a problem
Every time I get around you, babe
I just want you to need me
You might really wanna try me, babe
All I know I want a rider
All I know I want a rider, babe
You know that you need a rider
You know that you need a rider, babe
You know that you need a rider
You know that you need a rider, babe, ah yeah

Yo, I just wanna be ya rider
You should pull up in that Spyder
You should let me hit the mic
And I ain't talking about the fighter
Get it lit without a lighter
Let's pull an all-nighter
Tell me-tell me what you need, got the weed
I'm a bad little bitch and I never indict her
Get locked, I'mma write ya
You on the road? I'mma Skype ya
I don't wanna hype ya
But you…

I remember several years ago there was a big todo about Sikh Temples in Surrey and whether they should have chairs instead of people sitting on the floor....

 

One of the local radio stations started playing a parody of the Eagles' "The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks" (which is an awesome song, BTW)

 

They called it "The Sikhs Don't Want No Seats"....:lol:

Ever hear the Rock 101 twisted blues tune about three guys at the bar?

One Turban

One Scot

And one queer?

A man walks down the street
He says, "Why am I soft in the middle, now?
Why am I soft in the middle?
The rest of my life is so hard
I need a photo-opportunity
I want a shot at redemption
Don't want to end up a cartoon
In a cartoon graveyard"
Bonedigger, Bonedigger
Dogs in the moonlight
Far away in my well-lit door
Mr. Beerbelly, Beerbelly
Get these mutts away from me
You know, I don't find this stuff amusing anymore
If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty, when you call me, you can call me Al
A man walks down the street
He says, "Why am I short of attention?
Got a short little span of attention
And, whoa, my nights are so long
Where's my wife and family?
What if I die here?
Now that my role model is gone, gone?"
He ducked back down the alley
With some roly-poly little bat-faced girl
All along, along
There were incidents and accidents
There were hints and allegations
If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty, when you call me, you can call me Al
Call me Al
A man walks down the street
It's a street in a strange world
Maybe it's the third world
Maybe it's his first time around
Doesn't speak the language
He holds no currency
He is a foreign man
He is surrounded by the sound, the sound
Cattle in the marketplace
Scatterings and orphanages
He looks around, around
He sees angels in the architecture
Spinning in infinity
He says, "Amen and Hallelujah!"
If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty, when you call me, you can call me Al
