Good morning peeps.


"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only."

Yebbut,with respect to C Dickens Esq,it's ever been that way between Birmingham and Swansea,RJ. They just can not agree on anything. [personally,I blame they Frenchies-they're revolting!]

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Give me back my broken night
my mirrored room, my secret life
it's lonely here,
there's no one left to torture
Give me absolute control
over every living soul
And lie beside me, baby,
that's an order!
Give me crack and anal sex
Take the only tree that's left
and stuff it up the hole
in your culture
Give me back the Berlin wall
give me Stalin and St Paul
I've seen the future, brother:
it is murder.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

"These Are The Days Of Our Lives"

Sometimes I get to feelin'
I was back in the old days - long ago
When we were kids, when we were young
Things seemed so perfect - you know?
The days were endless, we were crazy - we were young
The sun was always shinin' - we just lived for fun
Sometimes it seems like lately - I just don't know
The rest of my life's been - just a show.
Those were the days of our lives
The bad things in life were so few

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Remember when you ran away
and I got on my knees
and begged you not to leave
because I'd go beserk?
Well,you left me anyhow
and then the days got worse and worse
and now you see I've gone
completely out of my mind!
And;they're coming to take me away,ha-haaa,
They're coming to take me away,hoho,heehee,hahaaa.
To the funny farm,
where life is beautiful all the time
and I'll be happy to see those nice young men
in their clean white coats
and they're coming to take me away,hahaaa!
You thought it was a joke
and so you laughed,
you laughed when I said
that losing you would make me flip my lid.
Right?
You know you laughed,
I heard you laugh.
You laughed.
You laughed and laughed and then you left,
but now you know I'm utterly mad
and they're coming to take me away,hahaaa!
They're coming to take me away,hoho,heehee,haha,
to the happy home,with trees and flowers and chirping birds
and basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes.
And they're coming to take me away,hahaaa
I cooked your food,
I cleaned your house,
and this is how you pay me back
for all my kind,unselfish,loving deeds?
Ha!
Well you just wait,they'll find you yet and when they do
They'll put you in the A.S.P.C.A.
You mangy mutt!
And;they're coming to take me away,hahaaa,
they're coming to take me away,haha,hoho,heehee;
To the funny farm,where life is beautiful all the time
and I'll be happy to see those nice young men
in their clean white coats

THanks PUGGY, that song takes me back to the day.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Yer welcome,mate.
I remember being in my cab on the dockside in Reggio Calabria,waiting to take the truck onto the ferry and for some reason that song'd come into my head and just wouldn't go away. I was brewing up a mug of tea,standing in my cab,singing loudly...and when I bent to flick the teabag out,there were a half-dozen dockers standing stock still,looking at me in utter amazement. [cue mighty cringe]

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Some men never listen
And other never learn
But why this man did as he did
Only he will ever know
He knew he was walking
Into a waiting trap
Neatly set up for him
With a bait so richly wrapped
So he went inside there
To take on what he found
But he never escaped them
For who can escape what he desires

Genesis
