re: Just listen to yourself, your own head, your own heart

i can agree with the "self" and the "heart"... my "head" is too stupid.
you KNOW what we men think with (it's even dumber than our heads).
but 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

can i still listen to bob dylan, bonnie raitt
and van morrison?

The drinking dens are spilling out
There's staggering in the square
There's lads and lasses falling about
And a crackling in the air
Down around the dungeon doors
The shelters and the queues
Everybody's looking for
Somebody's arms to fall into
And it's what it is
It's what it is now

There's frost on the graves and the monuments
But the taverns are warm in town
People Curse the government
And shovel hot food down
The lights are out in the city hall
The castle and the keep
The moon shines down upon it all
The legless and asleep

And it's cold on the tollgate
With the wagons creeping through
Cold on the tollgate
God knows what I could do with you
And it's what it is
It's what it is now

The garrison sleeps in the citadel
With the ghosts and the ancient stones

High up on the parapet
A Scottish piper stands alone
And high on the wind
The highland drums begin to roll
And something from the past just comes
And stares into my soul

And it's cold on the tollgate
With the Caledonian Blues
Cold on the tollgate
God knows what I could do with you
And it's what it is
It's what it is now
What it is
It's what it is now

There's a chink of light, there's a burning wick
There's a lantern in the tower
Wee Willie Winkie with a candlestick
Still writing songs in the wee wee hours
On Charlotte Street I take
A walking stick from my hotel
The ghost of Dirty Dick
Is still in search of Little Nell
And it's what it is
It's what it is now
Oh what it is
What it is now

rosa lisa-

i just saw a headline on my yahoo page...

Microsoft: Didn't Stifle Competition

i didn't read the article... didn't want to ruin a good chuckle. might have gotten me on a "rant" a la jmanvegas, or better yet, that great one posted by altair19 in ALL CAPS the other day. <g>

BTW, i have that mark knopfler CD "sailing to philadelphia". it's very good. especially the title track duet with james taylor. "what it is" is great and another track "the last laugh " duet with van morrison reminds me of you. and there's even a track that reminds me of me singing to jerry springer... "el macho". <G>
