What line of lyrics defines your life?

It don't get much dumber
It don't get much dumber
Than trying to forget a girl when you love her.

 

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

 

Got a case of dynamite
I could hold out here all night.

 

Drove downtown in the rain, nine thirty on a Tuesday night
Just to check out the late night record shop.

From Brian Wilson..Barenaked Ladies.

That line kind of summed up my life spent heading downtown every free moment to visit Sam The Record Man on Yonge St.

 

just about everything from 'desolation row"....

 

so let me hold it up
just one more go
holding it up for just once more
one more time to fill it up
one more time to kill
but whatever i do
it's never enough
it's never enough

 

I had never heard this song until last night (while listening to the Roy Orbison Soul of Rock & Roll box set) but it definitely applies to me!


LEGEND IN MY TIME

If heartaches brought fame
In love's crazy game
I'd be a legend in my time

If they gave gold statuettes
For tears and regrets
I'd be a legend in my time

But they don't give awards
And there's no praise or fame
For a heart that's been broken
Over love that's in vain

If loneliness meant world acclaim
Then everyone would call my name
I'd be a legend in my time

If loneliness meant world acclaim
Then everyone would know my name
I'd be a legend in my time
I'd be a legend in my time

. . . and where do the stars end If I'm here all alone?
and why am I feeling so far from home? . . .

Kevin Ayers - 'That's What You Get Babe' (UK EMI/Harvest - SHSP4106, 1980 WLP)​

 

Every day's gonna bring some sad times,
Every day's gonna bring some glad times,
So take what you can of the glad times,
Don't measure your pleasure in nickles and dimes.

Robert Wyatt version of Monk's 'Round Midnight'.

 

There's a small boat made of china
It's going nowhere on the mantelpiece
Do I lie like a lounge room lizard
Or do I sing like a bird released?

 

With all the changing seasons of my life, maybe I'll get it right next time.

 

I might go out tomorrow
If I can borrow
A coat to wear....

 

Got no woman or a steady job/Feelin' like a cowboy and looking like a slob/ but I'm living in hope.

Didn't know your name is Simon Smith!​

 

I also have a dancing bear! Well....dog.

 

It could be this:

 

No-one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun

 

You stole it from me . .

 

On the way to Cape May

 

Hey grandma

Sure lookin good

 

surely you know the likes of me should be left alone

 

De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you

 

"I once had a girl or should I say, she once had me
She showed me her room, isn't it good Norwegian wood".

 

"If you have anything at all to give
You have everything to live for
Give all you got to give
Until you've given all you can
Give again, give again, give again"
