Thunder Road - probably my most played song of all time.


Going through my head at the moment Rendezvous and Fire - both Springsteen songs performed at the Paris show last week

since the Guardian had the songwriter booklets last week and I re-read the lyric to Springsteen's It's Hard To Be a Saint In The City, the song hasn't been out of my head


"I had skin like leather and the diamond-hard look of a cobra

I was born blue and weathered but I burst just like a supernova.."



awesome song



As for Mamma Mia film - I used to consume movie magazines by the whatever-a-large-amount-of-magazines-can-be-called but didn't even know about this, which shows how out of the loop I'm getting. As for Abba, I'm with Terence Stamp in The Adventures of Priscilla:


"no.. more... F***ing ABBA!!!!"

life

oh life

oh li-i-ife

oh life

do di do do doo


I'm afraid of the dark

'specialy in apark

something else that rhymes with dark

Lewis Carrol thought up the snark

Quite possibly while walking in a park

Perhaps in Oxford or possibly his home town of Sunderland where he was from and where he gained inspiration for many of the scenes and characters for his nonsense poems and of course that wonderful testament to the anarchy of the human imagination which is Alice in Wonderland (more correctly Alice?s Adventures in Wonderland)



Anyway the only way I think I?m going to get rid of this is by singing the first few lines of It?s Not Unusual but I don?t know if I have the strength to go through the whole of today with that stuck in my head instead.

Down at the bottom of the garden,

Among the birds and the bees,

A little lot of little people,

They call the Poddington Peas.


There's Creepy, Black Eye Pea and Dumpy.

Keep it a secret now please.

There's Zippy, Happy and there's Sweepy.

And all the Poddington Peas!


The Poddington Peas!


for the love of god!!!!!

Started off quite well this morning with I Chase the Devil by Max Romeo. Went downhill later with various bits of music from Mario Kart Wii, and now is really scraping the bottom of the barrel with some Kaiser Chiefs dross (I can do anythi-iiiiiing, dooby do do).

Is that the one where the lyrics go...



I don't like cricket, uh, oh no, I love it uh


:-$ uh thanks PGC gona be stuck in MY head all afternoon now! ha!


Its between that and everybody hurts at the moment, although there is a song, I don't know who it is by but the lyrics go something like this,


Walking 'round the room singing Stormy Weather

At Fifty Seven Mount Pleasant Street

Well it's the same room but everything's different

You can fight the sleep but not the dream


chorus = everywhere you go, you always take the weather with you,

    • I don't think you are miserable; the fireworks 'thing' seems to be growing. It used to be that you knew when they would likely happen and they were relatively rare, two or three times a year, for just one evening each time. Now, not only do there seem to be more and more large organised events, with extremely loud fireworks, even making Halloween a must do fireworks date- but people just seem to randomly let off four or five really loud ones at odd times of the night, for around 6 months of the year. Given the environmental impact, I'd have thought the council might want to encourage use of low noise fireworks at large events. I really, really hope something can be done.
    • Would this not be a complaint better aimed at the council? Isn't it an anti social behaviour issue?  I think of myself as pretty live-and-let-live and feel like a miserable cow for saying this, but I do think I might complain. Personally I love the sound of fireworks but our dog is under the table, shaking like a leaf night after night and collapses in the street when he hears the noise.  I'm worried his heart'll give out.
    • The lower / no bang noise fireworks sound great.    Is there anywhere local selling those?
    • This petition to reduce the noise of fireworks is currently going through Parliament https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/738192
