[Midwest Spy]

A lady doesn't wander all over the room...

and blow on some other guy's dice.


- Frank Sinatra, Luck Be A Lady

[Cynical Ninja]

I will be singing this little ditty on the Twelfth of August.

The Sash

Sure I'm an Ulster Orangeman from Erins isle I came
To see my British brethren all of honour and of fame
To tell them of my forefathers who fought in days of yore
That I might have the right to wear the sash my father wore

Chorus

Its old but it is beautiful and its colours are so fine
It was worn at Derry Aughrim Enniskillen and the Boyne
My father wore it in his youth in bygone days of yore
And on the twelfth I love to wear the sash my father wore

For those brave men who crossed the Boyne have not fought or died in vain
Our unity, religion, laws and freedoms to maintain
If the call shall come we will follow the drum and cross the river once more
That tomorrows Ulsterman shall wear the sash my father wore

Chorus

And when someday you cross the sea to Antrims shore you come
We will welcome you in royal style to the sound of flute and drum
And Ulsters hills will rattle still from Rathlin to Dromore
As we sing the royal strain to the sash my father wore

[Duchess]

I will be singing this little ditty on the Twelfth of August.

Is that when you go to Egypt?

[Cynical Ninja]

Is that when you go to Egypt?

No I will be where I always am on the 12^th of August, Londonderry in Ulster its parade season!

They'll fight and don't surrender
But come when duty calls
With heart and hand and sword and shield
We'll guard old Derry's walls

I'll be singing that little ditty as well!

[Midwest Spy]

Just heard a song from a group that burst on the music scene in the early 90's, and just as suddenly, seemed to disappear.


Fields are white in snowy spring and I can't
Remember the last time I've seen her.

The highway is still cold and wet and I can't
Forget the way I had to leave her.

And every passing day, she flickers and she fades.
Is someone there to catch her when she falls from the heavens?

And I'll love her yet, though she has done me wrong.
And I'll bring her back, though she has been long gone.
And I'll always be her...
Broken Hearted savior.

And every heavy night takes out the little life that's left within her.
Every man she gives her love, he takes it, and leaves her with a dinner.

Our love was once a flame, now I'm just a forgotten name,
Am I the only one to blame for having, loving her?

And I'll love her yet, though she has done me wrong.
And I'll bring her back, though she has been long gone.
And I'll always be her...
Broken Hearted savior.

-Big Head Todd & The Monsters, Broken Hearted Savior, from Sister Sweetly

Circle and Bittersweet also came from that album.

[HairOfTheDog]

There's a rose in the fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love
Love the one you're with...

Stephen Stills, CSNY

[BlueTiki]

And if you can't be with the one you love
Love the one you're with...

Stephen Stills, CSNY

Words to live by.

Or for some of you: Words to live "bi".

[HairOfTheDog]

Good to see you, Tiki!

Looking forward to seeing you back here when you have time.

Traveling at night, the headlights were bright
And we'd been up many an hour
And all through my brain
Came the refrain
Of home and it's warming fire


Bonnie Raitt, Home

[BlueTiki]

Thanks, HotD.

Almost Home for a spell.

Just a bit more drivin' . . .

Diamonds on my windshield
Tears from heaven . . .

Blazin' through this neon jungle
Remember someone that you met
And one more block, the engine talks in whispers, "Home at last"
Whispers, whispers, whispers, "Home at last, home at last"

TOM WAITS - DIAMONDS ON MY WINDSHIELD

[HairOfTheDog]

Tom Waits is almost a weakness for me.

I could see a two day bar-hop with the man turning into a year long road trip requiring a 2 year recovery period and totally worth every minute. Love that song.

I used to travel about 50% of the time for business (got burnt out on it after 10 years; now I kinda miss it 10 years later). I think you're on the move a lot for business (and fun, hopefully). As a traveler and explorer, you probably appreciate these these lyrics, Tiki. @Crash too.

Always good to be on the road, and always nice when it's been long enough and you're able to head back home.

Oh it gets so lonely
When you're walking
And the streets are full of strangers
All the news of home you read
Just gives you the blues
Just gives you the blues
So I bought me a ticket
I caught a plane to Spain
Went to a party down a red dirt road
There were lots of pretty people there
Reading Rolling Stone reading Vogue
They said "How long can you hang around?"
I said a week maybe two
Just until my skin turns brown
Then I'm going home to California

Oh it gets so lonely
When you're walking
And the streets are full of strangers
All the news of home you read
More about the war
And the bloody changes
Oh will you take me as I am?
Will you take me as I am?
Will you?

From: California by Joni Mitchell, 1970

If I had $1,000,000 we wouldn't have to eat Kraft dinner,

But we WOULD eat Kraft dinner.

Of course we would, we'd just eat more.

- Barenaked Ladies, If I Had $1,000,000

[Clang McFly]

And buy really expensive ketchup with it.
That's right, all the fanciest Dijon Ketchup. Mmmmmm.)

That's my favorite line of that song.

You surprised me!

I woulda bet: "But not a real green dress . . . that's cruel!"

[Maggot]

Well OK............lets get the ball rolling.

[Cynical Ninja]

Jesus Christ some of you people have the lamest taste in music ever!

Dinosaur rock and easy listening?

[HairOfTheDog]

Not sure which way we're rolling...men fighting to keep their girl from another admirer, or men who like to be admired when dressed as a girl.

I'll go with B because I love this song...

Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for Lola
La-la-la-la Lola

I had a girlfriend who fit this pretty well.

I'm not the most macho guy in the world but not many women are more man than I am. ...And way more woman!!

Was she a skater, Clad? Sounds a bit like Spike.
