  • Should I take this as a sign?

    I'm thinking maybe my daughters didn't appreciate my rousing rendition of Billy Bragg's 'Between the Wars'? Thought I was quite good!

    I was feeling part of the scenery
    I walked right out of the machinery
    My heart going boom boom boom
    "Hey" he said "Grab your things
    I've come to take you home."

    Hahahahaha
    I use my singing as a weapon, to get rid of the kids when they're being particularly "Mu-u-um" ish...! I only have to sing half a line before they're off!

            I used a different technique. I asked the kids to sing to me. While they were singing they couldn't be talking but they felt appreciated Worked every time.

            From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.

                    I love that song!!!

                    Zager and Evans. Well ahead of the game in terms of environmental awareness too. You just have to look at the last dated line of the song...

                    Insightful given it was written in the 60's.

                    In the year twentyfive
                    twentyfive if man is still alive

                    If woman can survive they may find.
                    In the year thirtyfive thirtyfive
                    Ain't gonna need to tell the truth tell no lies

                    Ev'rything you think do and say is in the pill you took today.
                    In the year fortyfive fortyfive
                    You ain't gonna need your teeth won't need your eyes

                    You won't find a thing to chew
                    nobody's gonna look at you.
                    In the year fiftyfive fiftyfive your arms are hangin' limp at you side

                    Your legs got nothin' to do
                    some machines doin' that for you.
                    In the year sixtyfive sixtyfive
                    Ain't gonna need no husband won't need no wife

                    You'll pick your son
                    pick your daughter too
                    From the bottom of a long glass tube.
                    In the year seventyfiveten
                    If God's a-coming he oughta make it by then

                    Maybe he'll look around himself and say:
                    Guess it's time for the judgement day.
                    In the year eightyfiveten God is gonna shake his mighty head

                    He'll either say I'm pleased where man has been
                    Or tear it down and start again.
                    In the year ninetyfive ninetyfive
                    I'm kind a wond'rin' if man is gonna be alive

                    He's taken everything this old earth can give
                    And he ain't put back nothin'.
                    Now it's been tenthousand years
                    man has cried a billion tears
                    For what he never knew - now man's reign is through.
                    But through eternal night the twinkling of starlight
                    So very far away - maybe it's only yesterday.
                    In the year twentyfive twentyfive if man is still alive
                    In the year thirtyfive thirtyfive . . .

                        I'm far too young to remember any of this

                            The line I like in the song I like is something like

                            ....
                            I saw two shooting stars last night
                            I wished on them but they were only satellites
                            Is it wrong to wish on space hardware
                            I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care
                            .....

                              kinda gives you the chills a bit when you hear those few lines, doesn't it
