Wonderwall placed 13 on list #17. Maybe it will get into the Top Ten this time. Renominations often places higher the second time around.

Diamond Dogs was #51 on list #14. It only got 8 points. Hope it will fare better this time!

Be My Baby isn't a renomination but: Shipbuilding made it to place 44 on list #4 and Beds Are Burning was #36 on list #2

“A man that is born falls into a dream like a man who falls into the sea. If he tries to climb out into the air as inexperienced people endeavor to do, he drowns—nicht wahr? . . . No! I tell you! The way is to the destructive element submit yourself, and with the exertions of your hands and feet in the water make the deep, deep sea keep you up. So if you ask me—how to be? . . . I will tell you! . . . In the destructive element immerse.†from Joseph Conrad's Lord Jim, ch 20. Maybe not my favorite quote, but a rememberable one.

The lyrics: The sun was going down behind a tattooed tree And the simple act of an oar's stroke put diamonds in the sea And all because of the phosphorus there in quantity As I dug you diggin' me in mexico There in the valley of scorpio, beneath the cross of jade Smoking on the seashell pipe the gypsies had made We sat and we dreamed a while of smugglers bringing wine In that crystal thought time in mexico Sitting in a chair of bamboo, sipping grenadine Straining my eyes for a surfacing submarine Kingdoms of ants walk across my feet I'm a-shakin' in my seat in mexico Grasshoppers creaking in the velvet jungle night Microscopic circles in the fluid of my sight Watching a black-eyed native girl cut and trim the lamp Valentino vamp in mexico The sun was going down behind a tattooed tree And the simple act of an oar's stroke put diamonds in the sea And all because of the phosphorus there in quantity I dug you diggin' me in mexico
