    How I wish, how I wish you were here.
    We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl,
    Year after year.
    Running over the same old ground.
    What have we found? The same old fears.
    Wish you were here.
    I was going to post that one.

    My thread was just a bit of fun,
    O/T and silly, but not the only one,
    10 years of photoshops and posts,
    Giving charity, advice and jokes,
    The loyal posters are ruining the board,
    I think more ads are called for.

    This verse and chorus from Trumpton Riots by Half man Half biscuit is fekin genius.

    Windy Militant rages past
    With Corn grinders to war
    With windmill sails and bombs with nails
    They smash the town hall door.
    But Snorty and the boys arrive
    With one big erstwhile crew
    Whereupon they bring about
    A military coup.

    Chorus:
    Someone get a message through
    To Captain Snort
    That they better start assembling
    The boys from the fort.
    Keep Mrs. Honeyman right out of sight,
    'Cause there's gonna be riot
    Down in Trumpton Tonight

    There was a boy I used to be
    I guess that he was cold
    If she came to buy him now
    How cheaply he'd be sold

    But the light is gone
    And it is dark
    What used to be this guy
    Is suddenly embarrassing to the naked eye.

    I've tried
    I've failed
    I thought I gave my all
    Now it's hard to tell
    Is this the end
    Of this dream I lost
    Or just an introduction
    To how much it may cost

    "There's a house with no door and I'm living there
    At nights it gets so cold
    And the days are hard to bear inside.
    There's a house with no roof, so the rain creeps in,
    Falling through my head as I try to think out time.
    I don't know you, you say you know me,
    That may be so,
    There's so much that I am unsure of
    You call my name, but it sounds unreal,
    I forget how I feel, my body's rejecting the cure."

    Last Year's Man
    Leonard Cohen

    The rain falls down on last year's man,
    That's a Jew's harp on the table,
    That's a crayon in his hand.
    And the corners of the blueprint are ruined since they rolled
    Far past the stems of thumbtacks
    That still throw shadows on the wood.
    And the skylight is like skin for a drum I'll never mend
    And all the rain falls down amen
    On the works of last year's man.

    KING CRIMSON
    "21st Century Schizoid Man"

    Cat's foot iron claw
    Neuro-surgeons scream for more
    At paranoia's poison door
    Twenty first century schizoid man

    Blood rack barbed wire
    Politicians' funeral pyre
    Innocents raped with napalm fire
    Twenty first century schizoid man

    Death seed blind man's greed
    Poets' starving children bleed
    Nothing he's got he really needs
    Twenty first century schizoid man.

    NICK DRAKE
    "Saturday Sun"

    Saturday sun
    Came early one morning
    In a sky so clear and blue
    Saturday sun
    Came without warning
    So no one knew what to do

    Saturday sun
    Brought people and faces
    That didn't seem much
    In their day
    But when I remember
    Those people and places
    They were really too good
    In their way
    In their way
    In their way
    Saturday sun
    Won't come and see me today

    Think about stories
    With reason and rhyme
    Circling through your brain
    And think about people
    In their season and time
    Returning again and again
    And again
    And again
    But Saturday's sun
    Has turned to Sunday's rain

    So Sunday sat
    In the Saturday sun
    And wept for a day gone by

    Sandy Denny
    "Who Knows Where The Time Goes?"

    Across the evening sky,all the birds are leaving
    Oh but then you know, it was time for them to go
    By the winter fire, I will still be dreaming
    I do not count the time
    for who knows where the time goes?
    Who knows where the time goes?

    Sad,deserted shore
    your fickle friends are leaving
    oh, but then you know it was time for them to go
    But I will still be here
    I have no thought of leaving
    I do not count the time
    for who knows where the time goes?

    I know I'm not alone
    while my love is near me
    I know that its so until its time to go
    All the storms in Winter and the birds in Spring again
    I do not count the time
    For who knows where the time goes?
    who knows where the time goes?
    who knows where the time goes?

    Morning Of My Life; sung by Esther Ofarim
    Written: Bee Gees

    In the morning when the moon is at it's rest
    you will see me at the time I love the best
    watching rainbows play on sunlight
    pools of water iced from cold night, in the morning
    'Tis the morning of my life

    In the daytime I will meet you as before
    You will find me waiting by the ocean floor
    building castles in the shifting sands
    in a world that no one understands
    In the morning
    'Tis the morning of my life

    In the morning of my life the
    minutes take so long to drift away
    Please be patient with your life
    It's only morning and you're still to live your day

    In the ev'ning I will fly you to the moon
    To the top right hand corner of
    the ceiling in my room
    Where w'll stay until the sun shines
    Another day to swing on clothe's lines
    May I be yawning
    It is the morning of my life
    It is the morning of my life
    In the morning
    In the morning
    In the morning

    Fine Lines

    Here a fine line, there a fine line
    Oh what a time we had
    Here a strange place, and there a strange face
    Doesn’t it make you sad
    I will call up my friends and say
    Come on over, make my night or my day
    And talk about who’s the finest folk in town.

    There a day’s grace, here a night’s space
    Oh what a lovely rhyme
    Take it from me, there is no disgrace
    In having yourself a time
    I will call up my friends and say
    Come on over and make my day
    And talk about the love that I know is in us all.

    Making the bread, going mad in the head
    I know when I’m going too far
    I want to get back, want to take up the slack
    Get where the good times are
    But I will call up all my friends and will say
    I will say: Come on over make my night or my day
    And we’ll talk about who’s the finest folk in town.

    Here a fine line, there a fine wine
    Oh what a time we had
    Here a strange place, there a strange face
    Didn’t it make me sad
    I will call up my friends and say
    Now come on over and make my day
    And tell me about the love that’s in us all.
    That’s in us all…

    JONI MITCHELL
    "Both Sides Now"

    Rows and flows of angel hair
    And ice cream castles in the air
    And feather canyons everywhere
    I've looked at clouds that way

    But now they only block the sun
    They rain and snow on everyone
    So many things I would have done
    But clouds got in my way

    I've looked at clouds from both sides now
    From up and down, and still somehow
    It's cloud illusions I recall
    I really don't know clouds at all

    Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
    The dizzy dancing way you feel
    As every fairy tale comes real
    I've looked at love that way

    But now it's just another show
    You leave 'em laughing when you go
    And if you care, don't let them know
    Don't give yourself away

    I've looked at love from both sides now
    From give and take, and still somehow
    It's love's illusions I recall
    I really don't know love at all

    Tears and fears and feeling proud
    To say "I love you" right out loud
    Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
    I've looked at life that way

    But now old friends are acting strange
    They shake their heads, they say I've changed
    Well something's lost, but something's gained
    In living every day

    I've looked at life from both sides now
    From win and lose and still somehow
    It's life's illusions I recall
    I really don't know life at all

    I've looked at life from both sides now
    From up and down and still somehow
    It's life's illusions I recall
    I really don't know life at all

    TOM WAITS
    "Tom Traubert's Blues"

    Wasted and wounded, it ain't what the moon did, I've got what I paid for now
    See you tomorrow, hey Frank, can I borrow a couple of bucks from you
    To go waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda,
    You'll go waltzing Mathilda with me

    I'm an innocent victim of a blinded alley
    And I'm tired of all these soldiers here
    No one speaks English, and everything's broken, and my Stacys are soaking wet
    To go waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda,
    You'll go waltzing Mathilda with me

    Now the dogs are barking and the taxi cab's parking
    A lot they can do for me
    I begged you to stab me, you tore my shirt open,
    And I'm down on my knees tonight
    Old Bushmill's I staggered, you'd bury the dagger
    In your silhouette window light go
    To go waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda,
    You'll go waltzing Mathilda with me

    Now I lost my Saint Christopher now that I've kissed her
    And the one-armed bandit knows
    And the maverick Chinamen, and the cold-blooded signs,
    And the girls down by the strip-tease shows, go
    Waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda,
    You'll go waltzing Mathilda with me

    No, I don't want your sympathy, the fugitives say
    That the streets aren't for dreaming now
    And manslaughter dragnets and the ghosts that sell memories,
    They want a piece of the action anyhow
    Go waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda,
    You'll go waltzing Mathilda with me

    And you can ask any sailor, and the keys from the jailor,
    And the old men in wheelchairs know
    And Mathilda's the defendant, she killed about a hundred,
    And she follows wherever you may go
    Waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda,
    You'll go waltzing Mathilda with me

    And it's a battered old suitcase to a hotel someplace,
    And a wound that will never heal
    No prima donna, the perfume is on an
    Old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey
    And goodnight to the street sweepers, the night watchmen flame keepers
    And goodnight to Mathilda, too

    KING CRIMSON
    "The Court Of The Crimson King"

    The rusted chains of prison moons
    Are shattered by the sun
    I walk a road, horizons change
    The tournament's begun
    The purple piper plays his tune
    The choir softly sing
    Three lullabies in an ancient tongue
    For the court of the crimson king

    The keeper of the city keys
    Put shutters on the dreams
    I wait outside the pilgrim's door
    With insufficient schemes
    The black queen chants
    the funeral march
    The cracked brass bells will ring
    To summon back the fire witch
    To the court of the crimson king

    The gardener plants an evergreen
    Whilst trampling on a flower
    I chase the wind of a prism ship
    To taste the sweet and sour
    The pattern juggler lifts his hand
    The orchestra begin
    As slowly turns the grinding wheel
    In the court of the crimson king

    On soft gray mornings widows cry
    The wise men share a joke
    I run to grasp divining signs
    To satisfy the hoax
    The yellow jester does not play
    But gently pulls the strings
    And smiles as the puppets dance
    In the court of the crimson king

    Wish I had a grey Cortina
    Whiplash aerial, racing trim
    Cortina owner - no one meaner
    Wish that I could be like him

    Twin exhaust and rusty bumper
    Chewing gum at traffic light
    Stop at red but leave on amber
    Grey Cortina outa sight

    Wish I had a grey Cortina
    Whiplash aerial, racing trim
    Cortina owner - no one meaner
    Wish that I could be like him

    Furlined seats and lettered windscreen
    Elbow on the windowsill
    Eight track blazing Brucie Springsteen
    Bomber jacket, dressed to kill

    Wish I had a grey Cortina
    Whiplash aerial, racing trim
    Cortina owner - no one meaner
    Wish that I could be like him

    Never cop a parking ticket
    Never seem to show it's age
    Speed police too slow to nick it
    Grey Cortina got it made

    Wish I had a grey Cortina
    Whiplash aerial, racing trim
    Cortina owner - no one meaner
    Wish that I could be like him
