M Rose Garden Lynn Anderson (Words and Music by Joe South) I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden Along with the sunshine There´s gotta be a little rain some time When you take you gotta give so live and let live Or let go oh-whoa-whoa-whoa I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden I could promise you things like big diamond rings But you don´t find roses growin´ on stalks of clover So you better think it over Well if sweet-talkin´ you could make it come true I would give you the world right now on a silver platter But what would it matter So smile for a while and let´s be jolly Love shouldn´t be so melancholy Come along and share the good times while we can I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden Along with the sunshine There´s gotta be a little rain some time (brief instrumental interlude) I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon But if that´s what it takes to hold you I´d just as soon let you go But there´s one thing I want you to know You better look before you leap, still waters run deep And there won´t always be someone there to pull you out And you know what I´m talkin´ about So smile for a while and let´s be jolly Love shouldn´t be so melancholy Come along and share the good times while we can I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden FADE Along with the sunshine There´s gotta be a little rain some time

Iran outraged by Bush speech (In the line of fire, the other piece of the axis of evil, Iran gets blindsided by Bush's state of the union but recovers to shoot back with "George Bush is facing a greater challenge to keep hot the furnace of his warmongering propaganda." The thing is, how are we going to fight on all these fronts and still protect our shores from the massive retaliations to come) news.bbc.co.uk Ties between Iran and the US remain ruptured Iranian Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi has condemned an allegation by US President George W Bush that Iran is developing weapons of mass destruction. "Whatever comments Bush made on Iran's pursuing weapons of mass destruction are totally baseless, superficial and wrong," he told reporters in Tehran. Iran is fending off charges levelled at Iraq He also rejected comments about democracy in Iran, saying the Islamic Republic did not need outside advice. However, Mr Bush's references to Iran, made during his State of the Union speech, were milder than in his "axis of evil" speech in 2002 and he only referred to Iran's neighbour Iraq as "evil". "In Iran, we continue to see a government that represses its people, pursues weapons of mass destruction and supports terror," Mr Bush said. Mr Kharrazi replied that: "The Iranian nation does not need to get advice from outside." Bush 'losing support' Referring directly to Iraq, the minister said: "We are neutral but that does not mean we are indifferent. Washington broke diplomatic ties after students stormed its embassy in Tehran in 1979 and took 52 people hostage for 444 days. Mr Kharrazi accused the US of seeking to create "an atmosphere of security tension, inside [the US] and outside, especially in the Middle East". A commentary on Iranian radio on Wednesday accused President Bush of seeking to distract attention from America's domestic troubles by going to war with Iraq, but failing to enlist support. "When he speaks today about Iraq and Saddam Hussein missing the opportunity to disarm, he still cannot speak directly about his plan to attack Iraq," the commentary said. "This is because he knows that the current mood in the world is no longer prepared to put up with America's unilateral policies.... "George Bush is facing a greater challenge to keep hot the furnace of his warmongering propaganda."
