"10:38 and I think I've made

the wrong decision

another lifeless man with a straight incision

I hope that insect doesn't see me

he's not renowned for his courtesy"

this is a banner day, indeed! BF actually posted an answer to one of MY words! (Yessss!!):grin: :grin: :grin:

(Word Up: Sieve)

"My momma talkin' to me tryin' to tell me how to live

But I don't listen to her 'cause my head is like a sieve

My daddy, he disowned me 'cause I wear my sister's clothes

He caught me in the bathroom with a pair of pantyhose"

This was from Cheech And Chong "Up In Smoke" movie. I always remembered the song, but I have no idea what it's called. :blush:

A three-chord symphony crashes into space

The moon is hanging upside down

I don't know why it is I'm still on the case

It's a ravenous town

And you still refuse to be traced

Seems to me such a waste

And every victory has a taste that's bittersweet

And it's your face I'm looking for on every street

"On Every Street" - Dire Straits

A cracking track from my favourite album of all-time, the Gang Of Four's "Entertainment!" On my first hearing of the album, back in 1980, this was one of the tracks that had me most rapt: this was like nothing I had ever heard before....

"Guns Before Butter"

All this talk of blood and iron

It's the cause of all my shaking

The fatherland's no place to die for

It makes me want to run out shaking

I hear some talk of guns and butter

That's something we can do without

If men are only blood and iron

O Doktor Doktor, what's in my shirt?

Just keep quiet, no room for doubt

I'm hearing talk of joy in labour

I'll tell you this, you can leave me out

The motherland's no place to cry for

I want some sand to hide my head in

I'm hearing talk of strength in labour

That's something I can do without

If I'm only blood and iron

O Doktor Doktor, what's in my shirt?

Just keep quiet, no room for doubt

All this talk of blood and iron

It's the cause of all my shaking

The fatherland's no place to die for

It makes me want to run out shouting

I hear some talk of guns and butter

That's something I can do without

If men are only blood and iron

O Doktor Doktor, what's in my shirt?

Just keep quiet, no room for doubt

Word up: "margarine"

Yes indeed

Here we are

At St. Alphonzo's Pancake Breakfast

Where I stole the margarine

And wheedled on the Bingo cards

In lieu of the latrine

I saw a handsome parish lady

Make her entrance like a queen

While she was totally in chenille

And her old man was a Marine

As she abused the sausage pattie

And said, "Why don't you treat me mean?"

Got the license--got the ring

Got back the blood tests and everything

Putting on my boutonniere--It's her favorite flower

Then I'm walking down the altar and I'm gonna take the vow

"Let nothing come between you" - Warren Zevon.

I had to google this one... I was going to quote some French song but I finally tried in English. I know I cheated a bit.

word up: George Harrison
