No-one pulled your strings
No-one kicked your arse
No-one focused sunlight on you
With a magnifying glass
If you have something to say
Say it to the whole class
'Cos no-one is responsible for you except you

No-one is your boss
No-one makes the rules
And even if the voices advised you
Then who's the bigger fool?
If you have someone legitimate to blame

Well stayin' out late ain't doin' me no good
It's ruined my hair and it's wreckin' my looks
Stayin' out late each night with the sound turned down on my TV screen

'Cos I'm wired and wide awake
And I'm waitin' for love to come home babe

Well imagine it's a film and you're the star
And pretty soon we're coming to the part
Where you realise that you should give your heart to me
Now the orchestra begins to make a sound
That goes round and round and round and round
And round and round and round again
And we kiss to violins

...Well some sad people might believe in that...

I don't want the honeymoon to last
I just want my future to live up to my past


Carter USM - "Growing Old Disgracefully" (1998)

It's weird how life has its little ways of whacking you on the head when you least expect it. An hour ago I was just getting ready to go to the Leeds meet when the phone rang. It was one...

I went to a 'beer festival' last weekend when I visited my mate in Stoke. Don't know if you a hick-village called Bignall End, but lets just say it could have turned into a yokell barn-dance at any moment. Nice Shropshire cask ales tho, mind...

Keep your chin up buddy! Cheers for the kind words over the past few weeks! They've helped LOADS! biggrin

Once upon a time there was this rock 'n' roll band
Time went by and it became a joke
We just needed more and more fulfilling
Time went by and it all went up in smoke


Guns 'n' Roses - "Pretty Tied Up" (1991)

Don't try rules 'cos they do not apply...

The Wildhearts - "Nita Nitro" (1995)

So then...a quiet-ish week. And a quiet-ish...

aww hehe thankies kiss Don't feel like a bastard though honey, he might be a lovely bloke and all but if you did let him re-join the band, you'd never know if he would toodle off again if he got another girlie who gave him the same ultimatum, but on the bright side you have your friendship which is always the most important thing!!

Do you know my name before you tear me apart?
Do you care who I am?


Boo Radleys - "Rodney King (Song For Lenny Bruce)" (1993)

An hour ago I had nothing to say. So I sat back, got those reviews written and had a hunt through my CD collection and found my dusty old copy of "Giant Steps" by the Boo Radleys.

Frickin' 'ell,...

Taste the gin on the back of my throat
I pull on your skin, unroll my last pound note
With a twist of fate I twist my hair
I'm a third rate villain baby, and I don't even care

Silver bullets with lipstick on
They kiss my skin like some atomic bomb

As I rise from my 21st century grave
I turn on the TV...

The 4 Skins - "1984" (1981)

Away from the fiasco across the Atlantic then...

All in all, with the obvious exception, not that bad a week. Starting to get on top of my workload, my bank balance is looking healthier than it has for a long time and life is generally not that bad.
