    Nice!

    Still though 00:59...That's optimistic. Although I do like when things end in :59.
    Bobby G wrote a good song this one time. Saw it on the telly I did. Good tune, and I'll fight any man that says different,

    "I don't mind if you go
    I don't mind if you take it slow
    I don't mind if you say yes or no
    I don't mind at all

    I don't care if you live or die
    Couldn't care less if you laugh or cry
    I don't mind if you crash or fly
    I don't mind at all

    I don't mind if you come or go
    I don't mind if you say no
    Couldn't care less baby let it flow
    'Cause I don't care at all

    Na na na, ...

    I don't care if you sink or swim
    Lock me out or let me in
    Where I'm going or where I've been
    I don't mind at all

    I don't mind if the government falls
    Implements more futile laws
    I don't care if the nation stalls
    And I don't care at all
    [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/bob_geldof/great_song_of_indifference.html ]
    I don't care if they tear down trees
    I don't feel the hotter breeze
    Sink in dust in dying sees
    And I don't care at all

    Na na na , ...

    I don't mind if culture crumbles
    I don't mind if religion stumbles
    I can't hear the speakers mumble
    And I don't mind at all

    I don't care if the Third World fries
    It's hotter there I'm not surprised
    Baby I can watch whole nations die
    And I don't care at all

    I don't mind I don't mind I don't mind I don't mind
    I don't mind I don't mind
    I don't mind at all

    Na na na , ...

    I don't mind about people's fears
    Authority no longer hears
    Send a social engineer
    And I don't mind at all"




    Bobby D wrote a good song occasionally too...

    "I will not go down under the ground
    "Cause somebody tells me that death's comin' 'round
    An' I will not carry myself down to die
    When I go to my grave my head will be high,
    Let me die in my footsteps
    Before I go down under the ground.

    There's been rumors of war and wars that have been
    The meaning of the life has been lost in the wind
    And some people thinkin' that the end is close by
    "Stead of learnin' to live they are learning to die.
    Let me die in my footsteps
    Before I go down under the ground.

    I don't know if I'm smart but I think I can see
    When someone is pullin' the wool over me
    And if this war comes and death's all around
    Let me die on this land 'fore I die underground.
    Let me die in my footsteps
    Before I go down under the ground.

    There's always been people that have to cause fear
    They've been talking of the war now for many long years
    I have read all their statements and I've not said a word
    But now Lawd God, let my poor voice be heard.
    Let me die in my footsteps
    Before I go down under the ground.

    If I had rubies and riches and crowns
    I'd buy the whole world and change things around
    I'd throw all the guns and the tanks in the sea
    For they are mistakes of a past history.
    Let me die in my footsteps
    Before I go down under the ground.

    Let me drink from the waters where the mountain streams flood
    Let me smell of wildflowers flow free through my blood
    Let me sleep in your meadows with the green grassy leaves
    Let me walk down the highway with my brother in peace.
    Let me die in my footsteps
    Before I go down under the ground.

    Go out in your country where the land meets the sun
    See the craters and the canyons where the waterfalls run
    Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, Idaho
    Let every state in this union seep in your souls.
    And you'll die in your footsteps
    Before you go down under the ground."





    Basically, all I can say is don't fall at the last fence.

    "Ain't it fun when you're always on the run
    Ain't it fun when your friends despise what you become
    Ain't it fun when you get so high
    Well... that you, you just can't come
    Ain't it fun when you know that you gonna die young

    It's such fun
    Good fun
    Such fun
    Such fun
    Aah such fun
    Such fun
    Such fun aah
    Yeah fun,
    Just fun
    Such...

    Ain't it fun when you taking care of number one
    Ain't it fun when you feel like you just gotta get a gun
    Ain't it fun when you just can't seem to find your tongue
    Cause you stuck it too deep into something that really stung
    It's such fun, ah

    Well, so good to me, they spit right in my face
    I didn't even feel it
    It was such a disgrace

    I punched my fist right through the glass
    I didn't even feel it
    It happened so fast

    Such fun
    Such fun
    Such fun
    Ah such fun
    Such fun
    Such fun
    Ah such fun

    Ain't it fun when you tell her she's just a ****
    Ain't it fun when you she splits you and leaves you on the bum
    Well, ain't it fun when you've broken up every band that you've ever begun
    Ain't it fun when you know that you're gonna die young

    It's such fun
    Such fun [x 13] "




    It's not that fun... Well it is kinda. Who needs friends and society and sh1t? :rolleyes:.

    Anyways, suddenly Wu Lyf (again)

    That's what they want you to think...

    They totally want you to think that.
    *
    But then you don't flash and they are all "ohhh ohh no, why are you doing a solid non periodic light" and you are all "'cause fuck YOU, that's why" and they are all "so, what you gonna do about it?" but you are all "I'm going to do this" and they are all "what?? What you gonna do?" and you are all



    But then, fuck it...



    Choose life... Actually, fuck life. Choose something else...

    I have to get up for work in the morning


    So there I was, totally sitting in a cafe. The girl came over to me and asked me what I wanted to order. Naturally I said "double whiskey babe, make it icey". So she looked at me and said (you will have to imagine the Lithuanian accent) "This is a cafe, we don't serve alcohol". So I says to her, I says "Listen I'm not trying to be hawkward but you asked me what I wanted, and what I want is icey whiskey. But that's not important right now. What I will accept is an Earl Grey with a spoon full of whatever coffee you have lying around dumped into it". All credit to her, she said "no problem dickhead."

    So I'm sitting there waiting for my Earl grey and coffee (and more than likely with added Lithuanian spit) {some weirdo's would pay a fortune for that I'm sure} and who do I see sitting two tables over from me but a little familiar looking kind of baldy guy.

    So Lithuanian girl comes back to the table with my concoction and I query of her "sorry, is that guy in here a lot?". She, looking understandably annoyed at this point, says "yes that's Barry, he comes in every day." and she walks away.

    So I'm thinking "Barry?....Barry?...Holy **** I knew I recognised him. There was Barry McGuigan, one of my all time sporting heros sitting in the same cafe as me. So cool as I usually am about these things I decided just as I am almost finished my coffee to go over and say 'hi'.

    So I walk over to Barry's table and say "Hi man, sorry to disturb you but I love your work." He looks up at me and says "thank you, always nice to meet a fan." So I, messing, say "want to show me some of your stuff?"

    Next thing I know Barry reaches under the table and starts pulling something out of a guitar case! Now he's from Norn Iron so completely reasonably I presume it's a gun and throw a right hook at him. I didn't throw it hard or anything, figured he was just trying to scare me and I would do the same back to relieve the tension, and I mean he is the Clones Cyclone so I figured he would duck. But it landed. And he went down like he had never stepped in a ring before in his life. Bang, hit the floor.

    So I am thinking 'oops, how did that happen?'.

    Turns out it was actually Barry McGuire not Barry McGuigan. But he came round a couple of minutes later and was happy as a clam just after that. I credit the mouthful of Earl Grey/coffee/Lithuanian spit mixture I gave him a mouthful of when he regained consciousness. The stuff is like an elixir.

    Either way he went back under the table and into the guitar case again, but knowing he wasn't a Nordie I was chilled about it this time. You'll never guess what? He only pulls a guitar out of the case. (A bit mainstream, I'll admit.) But then he breaks into this song and all is forgiven, 'cause this is one dinosaur of a song.

    (Disclaimer: Some literary license may have been taken in the telling of this anecdote. But my god, wasn't it worth it to hear this song?... The answer you are looking for is 'yes' btw.)

    I could tell this utter nonsense over and over and over again, my friend. But I won't because we're on the Eve of Destruction...



    The eastern world, it is exploding
    Violence flarin', bullets loadin'
    You're old enough to kill, but not for votin'
    You don't believe in war, but what's that gun you're totin'
    And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin'

    But you tell me
    Over and over and over again, my friend
    Ah, you don't believe
    We're on the eve
    of destruction.

    Don't you understand what I'm tryin' to say
    Can't you feel the fears I'm feelin' today?
    If the button is pushed, there's no runnin' away
    There'll be no one to save, with the world in a grave
    [Take a look around ya boy, it's bound to scare ya boy]

    And you tell me
    Over and over and over again, my friend
    Ah, you don't believe
    We're on the eve
    of destruction.

    Yeah, my blood's so mad feels like coagulatin'
    I'm sitting here just contemplatin'
    I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation.
    Handful of senators don't pass legislation
    And marches alone can't bring integration
    When human respect is disintegratin'
    This whole crazy world is just too frustratin'

    And you tell me
    Over and over and over again, my friend
    Ah, you don't believe
    We're on the eve
    of destruction.

    Think of all the hate there is in Red China
    Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama
    You may leave here for 4 days in space
    But when you return, it's the same old place
    The poundin' of the drums, the pride and disgrace
    You can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace
    Hate your next-door neighbor, but don't forget to say grace
    And… tell me over and over and over and over again, my friend
    You don't believe
    We're on the eve
    Of destruction
    Mm, no no, you don't believe
    We're on the eve
    of destruction.

    "This is the dead land
    This is cactus land
    Here the stone images
    Are raised, here they receive
    The supplication of a "dead man's" hand
    Under the twinkle of a fading star.

    Is it like this
    In death's other kingdom
    Waking alone
    At the hour when we are
    Trembling with tenderness
    Lips that would kiss
    Form prayers to broken stone.

    The eyes are not here
    There are no eyes here
    In this valley of dying stars
    In this hollow valley
    This broken jaw of our lost kingdoms

    In this last of meeting places
    We grope together
    And avoid speech
    Gathered on this beach of the tumid river

    Sightless, unless
    The eyes reappear
    As the perpetual star
    Multifoliate rose
    Of death's twilight kingdom
    The hope only
    Of empty men.

    Here we go round the prickly pear
    Prickly pear prickly pear
    Here we go round the prickly pear
    At five o'clock in the morning.

    Between the idea
    And the reality
    Between the motion
    And the act
    Falls the Shadow

    For Thine is the Kingdom

    Between the conception
    And the creation
    Between the emotion
    And the response
    Falls the Shadow

    Life is very long

    Between the desire
    And the spasm
    Between the potency
    And the existence
    Between the essence
    And the descent
    Falls the Shadow

    For Thine is the Kingdom


    For Thine is
    Life is
    For Thine is the

    This is the way the world ends
    This is the way the world ends
    This is the way the world ends
    Not with a bang but a whimper.

    Let every part depending on the chain

    Or countless partners of his power divide
    His tyranny to weakness; or the smoke

    Horribly massacred, ascend to heaven

    There is a life-force within your soul, seek that life.
    There is a gem in the mountain of your body, seek that

    Don't look outside, look inside yourself and seek That.

    "Yet slow and gradual dawned the morn of love;
    Long lay the clouds of darkness o'er the scene,
    Till from its native heaven they rolled away:
    First, crime triumphant o'er all hope careered
    Unblushing, undisguising, bold and strong,
    Whilst falsehood, tricked in virtue's attributes,
    Long sanctified all deeds of vice and woe,
    Till, done by her own venomous sting to death,
    She left the moral world without a law, {Strobe comment: Moral Nihilism?}
    No longer fettering passion's fearless wing,
    Nor searing reason with the brand of God.
    Then steadily the happy ferment worked;
    Reason was free; and wild though passion went
    Through tangled glens and wood-embosomed meads,
    Gathering a garland of the strangest flowers,
    Yet, like the bee returning to her queen,
    She bound the sweetest on her sister's brow,
    Who meek and sober kissed the sportive child,
    No longer trembling at the broken rod."



    Poor Min, hard not to feel for the oul broad. She just wanted to rock.

    (More Scatting)

    Everybody stutters one way or the other
    So check out my message to you
    As a matter of fact
    Don't let nothing hold you back
    If the scatman can do it
    So can you
    Everybody says that the scatman stutters
    But doesn't ever stutters when he sings
    But what you don't know
    I'm gonna tell you right now
    That the stutter and the scat is the same thing
    Yo, I'm the scat man
    Where's the scat man? I'm the scat man.

    Why should we be pleasing any politician heathens who would
    Try to change the seasons if they could
    The state of the condition
    Insults my institution
    And it only makes me crazy and my heart like wood

    Everybody stutters one way or the other
    So check out my message to you
    As a matter of fact
    Don't let nothing hold you back
    If the scatman can do it, brother
    So can you, I'm the scat man.

    Bada bwi ba ba bada bo
    Baba ba da bo
    Bwi ba ba ba do [x2]

    Ski bi di bi di do bap do
    Do bam do [x3]

    Everybody stutters one day or the other
    So check out my message to you
    As a matter of fact
    Don't let nothing hold you back
    If the scatman can do it
    So can you

    I hear you ask all about the meaning of scat
    Well I'm the professor and all I can tell you
    Is while you're still sleeping
    The saints are still weeping
    'Cause things you call dead haven't yet had the chance to be born
    I'm the scatman

    [Scat, scat and more scat.]

    He's the Scatman. Try and deny it, I dare ye.

    I like your signature. Is the meaning of it utterly lost on you?
