Well yay! Kevin, I thought this thread had died.
@SweetFannyAddams How are you going Etty, thought about you. It’s been a while. x
So I worked across the country from end to end
Tried to find a place to settle down, where my mixed-up life could mend
I held a job on an oil-rig, flying choppers when I could
But the nightlife nearly drove me 'round the bend
So I found someone else to ask my questions to
With eyes like candles on the wall, a flash of cobalt blue
He wasn’t quite like you, until you ran away
I left my coat by the stairs, you didn’t notice I had nothing to say
But you love the nightlife, always a new shade of blue
The Swiss Army jackknife never seemed to suit you
(the Accidentals)
I had a third-world girl in Búzios with a pistol in each hand
She always kept me covered as we moved from land to land
I had a damn good run on Wall Street with my high-fashion model wife
I woke up dry beneath the African sky, just me and my Swiss Army knife
You think you know fashion, well fashion’s a stranger
You think fashion’s your friend, my friend
Fashion is danger
(Flight of the Conchords)
When I tried to tell my story
They cut me off to take a break
I sat silent five commercials
I had nothing left to say
I’m back. I’ve been very ill and am writing from the hospital . This is my 2nd admission in 3 weeks. I was dangerously anemic. One of my doctors finally got me transfusions of blood and iron. I also am preparing myself for radiotherapy because the thyroid cancer’s come back and this will give me more time, maybe a year. My health is beyond dire. Sorry if anyone got worried. I was just so sick and getting sicker. I”ll find some lyrics. They may not jive with what’s there but I’ll try.
I’m not a master of all I survey
To death and disaster Iam a slave
What does it all matter
It’s all trash anyway
I hate the world they gave me
Justin Currie’s brilliant words just for shits and giggles ; p
I was thinking you may not have been well. Happy to hear from you Etty. x
What is love and what is hate?
And why does it matter?
Is to love just a waste?
And how can it matter?
As the dawn began to break
I had to surrender
The universe will have its way
Too powerful to master
Mommy’s alright, Daddy’s alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender
But don’t give yourself away
(Cheap Trick)
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you’re far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Where a moment spent with you is a moment I treasure
‘Cause I am hanging on every word you say
And even if you don’t want to speak tonight
That’s alright, alright with me
Because I want nothing more
Than to sit outside heaven’s door
And listen to you breathing
(Lifehouse)
(I have not thought about this song in 20 years but it’s a strong memory.)
Just you believe me
I’ll hide you discreetly
Discreeetly from this cold world
It’s all over all of the time
If you want to I won’t mind
Please, don’t leave it
I don’t know what to do
No they won’t catch me and you
Jake Bugg
For the restlessly abandoned homes
The tired and weary rambler’s bones
And stay beside me where I lie
She’s entwined in me
Crazy as can be
Yeah, but she’s alright with me
Movies only make me sad
Parties make me feel as bad
Cause I’m not with you
I just don’t know what to do
I wish my life was a non-stop Hollywood movie show,
A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes,
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
And celluloid heroes never really die.
The Kinks
Do you need a hug or a visit? Happy to come and see you 
And the music make her want to be the story
And the story was whatever was the song what it was
Roller girl, don’t worry
DJ, play the movies
All night long
Anyway, here’s Wonderwall.
Right on Billie Joe!
It’s a God-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousey hair
Coz her Mummy is yelling “No!”
And her Daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she’s hooked to the silver screen…
