May I start a cheeky discussion which has nothing to do with France (or it may depending on your choices)?
My life always seems to be in song lyrics and here are a couple that seem relevant at the moment.
Rod Stewart, Atlantic Crossing: “It’s Not the Spotlight”
If I ever feel the light again shining down on me, I don't have to tell you what a welcome it will be. I felt the light before but I let it slip away, but I still keep on believing that it'll come back some day.
and
Bruce Springsteen, "Better Days"
Well my soul checked out missing as I sat listening To the hours and minutes tickin' away Yeah just sittin' around waitin' for my life to begin While it was all just slippin' away I'm tired of waitin' for tomorrow to come Or that train to come roarin' 'round the bend
Every fool's got a reason to feel sorry for himself And turning his heart to stone Tonight this fool's halfway to heaven and just a mile outta hell And I feel like I'm comin' home
Now I'm not bothered if you like my choices or not, but am just interested in what are yours.
"when she was giving head".....I always smiled at this because the BBC never got it! They censored "Relax" and "Love For Sale" but this sneaked under the net!
My poor husband, but I gotta say Meredith Brooks' "Bitch"
I hate the world today You're so good to me I know but I can't change Tried to tell you But you look at me like maybe I'm an angel underneath Innocent and sweet Yesterday I cried Must have been relieved to see The softer side I can understand how you'd be so confused I don't envy you I'm a little bit of everything All rolled into one
[Chorus:] I'm a bitch, I'm a lover I'm a child, I'm a mother I'm a sinner, I'm a saint I do not feel ashamed I'm your hell, I'm your dream I'm nothing in between You know you wouldn't want it any other way
So take me as I am This may mean You'll have to be a stronger man Rest assured that When I start to make you nervous And I'm going to extremes Tomorrow I will change And today won't mean a thing
[Chorus]
Just when you think, you got me figured out The season's already changing I think it's cool, you do what you do And don't try to save me
[Chorus]
I'm a bitch, I'm a tease I'm a goddess on my knees When you hurt, when you suffer I'm your angel undercover I've been numb, I'm revived Can't say I'm not alive You know I wouldn't want it any other way
One way by the Levellers. My all time favourite. Turn it up LOUD and jump around alot! Here are the lyrics:
There's only one way of life And that's your own your own your own
My father when I was younger Took me up on to the hill That looks down on the city smog And above the factory spill He said now this is where I come When I wanted to be free but he never was in his lifetime But these words stuck with me. Hey
And so I ran from all of this And I climbed that highest hill I looked down on to my life Above the factory spill I looked down onto my life As the family disgrace Then all my friends on the starting line Their wages off to chase Yes and all my friends and all their jobs All the bloody waste
There's only one way of life And that's your own your own your own
Well well when I grew up, learned to love and laugh Circled A's on the underpass The noise we thought would never stop Died a death when the punks grew up And we choked on all our dreams We whispered all our fears Running through the heartless concrete streets Chasing our ideas Run And all the problems of the world Won't be solved by this guitar And they won't stop coming either By the life I've had so far And the bright lights of my home town Won't be getting any dimmer Though their calling has receded Like some old distant singer And they don't look so appealing To the eyes of this poor sinner
There's only one way of life And that's your own your own your own
Holly came from Miami, F.L.A.Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.Plucked her eyebrows on the wayShaved her legs and then he was a sheShe says, "Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side"He said, "Hey honey, take a walk on the wild side" Candy came from out on the islandIn the backroom she was everybody's darlin'But she never lost her headEven when she was giving headShe says, "Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side"He said, "Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side" And the colored girls goDoo do doo, doo do doo, doo do doo Little Joe never once gave it awayEverybody had to pay and payA hustle here and a hustle thereNew York City's the place where they said"Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side"I said, "Hey Joe, take a walk on the wild side" Sugar plum fairy came and hit the streetsLookin' for soul food and a place to eatWent to the Apollo, you should've seen 'em go go goThey said, "Hey sugar, take a walk on the wild side"I said, "Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side"Alright, huh Jackie is just speeding awayThought she was James Dean for a dayThen I guess she had to crashValium would have helped that bashShe said, "Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side"I said, "Hey honey, take a walk on the wild side" And the colored girls sayDoo do doo, doo do doo, doo do doo
I'm not transvestite, junkie or any other images he sings but I have always lived ambiguously, if that makes sense, but of preference I walk on the wild side...
