I'm Going on a Big Vacation
Kate and I are headed out tomorrow for a Caribbean cruise with family, in honor of my grandmother's birthday. As I don't really want to leave the previous cranky post on the top of the front page for the whole week, here's some song lyrics (shuffle play on the playlist of vaguely cruise-appropriate songs I put together, skipping songs that I've used before, or whose lyrics I don't know). You can probably learn something about my basic worldview from the fact that I find these songs good relaxation material.
- 1) "If you see a box of pine, with a name that looks like mine, say I drowned in a barrel of wine."
- 2) "I can saw a woman in two, but you won't want to look in the box when I'm through."
- 3) "I've been sowing seeds from Mexico to Tennessee, and I'm reaping now an awful lot of woe."
- 4) "I can still croon, and make the girls swoon. Ain't that the way life's supposed to be?"
- 5) "My new address is sitting by the ocean, I can't be reached by phone."
- 6) "They say 'I'm all right, I just can't get home tonight.'"
- 7) "I saw you just the other day, my how you have grown."
- 8) "I'm never out of bed before noon, waking up too late seems too soon."
- 9) "I'm goin' out to get me some sun, I'm gonna collect it, baby."
- 10) "Some folks love is hard and strong, That's the kind of love that lingers on."
- 11) "My sister's ex-husband can't get no lovin'."
- 12) "Out on tour with the Smashing Pumpkins, nature kids, but they ain't got no function."
- 13) "And Ray Charles was shot down, but he got up to do his best."
- 14) "It's six in the mornin', you gave me no warnin', I had to be on my way."
- 15) "When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school, It's a wonder I can think at all."
- 16) "I learned to play some lead guitar, I was underage in this smoky bar."
- 17) "A big Jamaican took every last dime with a scam, it was worth it just to learn some sleight of hand."
That's about enough of that. Have fun while we're gone, and try not to break anything.
