MaryAnna advised me to learn some songs. I failed to do this. Last week I ended up singing the music to Lassie TV series. ´Lassie come home'. I can assure you it had no real relavence to the trip, but I would ove to know where it came from.
I now know I know no songs. I have taken to humming and making up words. Since I am no poet this is mixed at best. As part of my let it all go regime I have taken to saying them out load. They are not memorable so there is no repetition. Noone has yet caught me dong this. it does kill a few minutes when walking through industrial estates. (Have I mentioned them yet?)
Here's an appropriate song
ReplyDeleteWhen I wake up, well I know i'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next you
When I go out, yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
If I get drunk, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
And if I haver up, Yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you
But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
To fall down at your door
When I'm working, yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's working hard for you
And when the money, comes in for the work I do
I'll pass almost every penny on to you
When I come home(When I come home), well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you
And if I grow-old,(When I grow-old) well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you
But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
To fall down at your door
I’m an asshole (I’m an asshole)
I’m an asshole (I’m an asshole)
Da da da dun Diddle Un Diddle Un Diddle Uh da dey
I’m an asshole (I’m an asshole)
I’m an asshole (I’m an asshole)
Da da da dun Diddle Un Diddle Un Diddle Uh da dey
When I'm lonely, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's lonely without you
And when I'm dreaming, well I know I'm gonna dream
I'm gonna Dream about the time when I'm with you
When I go out(When I go out), well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
And when I come home(When I come home), yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home with you
I'm gonna be the man who's coming home with you
But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
To fall down at your door
I’m an asshole (I’m an asshole)
I’m an asshole (I’m an asshole)
Da da da dun Diddle Un Diddle Un Diddle Uh da dey
I’m an asshole (I’m an asshole)
I’m an asshole (I’m an asshole)

ReplyDeleteYou keep saying you've got something for me.
something you call love, but confess.
You've been messin' where you shouldn't have been a messin'
and now someone else is gettin' all your best.
These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.
You keep lying, when you oughta be truthin'
and you keep losin' when you oughta not bet.
You keep samin' when you oughta be changin'.
Now what's right is right, but you ain't been right yet.
These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.
You keep playin' where you shouldn't be playin
and you keep thinkin' that you´ll never get burnt.
Ha! I just found me a brand new box of matches yeah
and what he know you ain't HAD time to learn.
Are you ready boots? Start walkin'!
just one more (we promise)
ReplyDeleteTrailer for sale or rent, rooms to let fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets, I ain’t got no cigarettes
Ah but, two hours of pushin’ broom buys a
Eight by twelve four-bit room
I’m a man of means by no means, king of the road
Third boxcar midnight train, destination bangor, maine
Old worn out suit and shoes, I don’t pay no union dues
I smoke old stogies I have found, short but not too big around
I’m a man of means by no means, king of the road
I know every engineer on every train
All the children and all of their names
And every handout in every town
And every lock that ain’t locked when no-one’s around
I sing...

ReplyDeleteThe road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows when
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother.
So on we go
His welfare is my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there
For I know
He would not encumber me
he ain't heavy hes my brother
If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another.
It's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we're on the way to there
Why not share
And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy, hes ain't heavy
hes my brother
he ain't heavy
hes my brother
he ain't heavy
hes my brother

ReplyDeletejust in case the weather turns....glad you're ok, enjoying and still smiling <3
I have decided the sound track starts with'comfrotably numb', then 500 miles, fitted in is Amy McDonald 'This is the life'. These boots & long and windy road have a place, but just a verses from each I think. I have yet to decided end tracks. Once I have I can do a slide show.
