What an awesome thread! I could read these posts all night!

"Now I know she ain’t you but she’s here and she’s got that dark rhythm in her soul." - Bob Dylan, Brownsville Girl

"The mystery masked man was smart, he got himself a Tonto
Cause Tonto did the dirty work for free
But Tonto he was smarter, and one day said kemo sabe
Kiss my ass I bought a boat I'm going out to sea"
- Lyle Lovett, If I Had A Boat

"Good morning, Mr. Benson
I see you're doing well.
If I had me a shotgun,
I'd blow you straight to hell."
- Grateful Dead, Candy Man

"I am sleeping under strange, strange skies."
- Rolling Stones, Moonlight Mile

"I wish I was a fool for you again."
- Richard & Linda Thompson, For Shame of Doing Wrong
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
We would zig zag away through the boredom & pain, Ocassionally glancing up through the rain, wondering which of the buggers to blame, And watching for pigs on the wing.
