It really was a meeting The bottle took a beating The ladies of the manor Watched me climb into my car and I was going down the track about a hundred and five They had the stop-watch rolling I had the headlights blazing I was really alive And yet my mind was blowing I drank a bottle of tequila and I feel real good I had the tape deck roaring But on the twenty-fifth lap at the canal turn I went of exploring I knew I wouldn't make it the car just wouldn't make it I was turning tires burning The ground was in my sky I was laughing the bitch was trashed And death was in my eye I had started pretty good and I was feeling my way I had the wheels in motion There was Peter and the Green fly laughing like drains Inebriation The crowd was roaring I was at Brands Hatch In my imagination But at the canal turn I hit an oily patch Inebriation Ooh Mr. Miracle you saved me from some pain I thank you Mr. Miracle I won't get trashed again Ooh can you hear my lies Don't you bother with this fool just laugh into my eyes So we went back to the bar and hit the bottle again But there was no tequila Then we started on the whisky just to steady our brains 'Cos there was no tequila And as we drank a little faster at the top of our hill We began to roll And as we get trashed we were laughing still Well bless my soul
 


Sir Patrick Spens

The King sat in Dunfirmline town,
Drinking of the blood-red wine
"Where can I get a good sea captain
To sail this mighty ship of mine?"

Then up there spoke a bonny boy,
Sitting at the King's right knee
"Sir Patrick Spens is the very best seaman
That ever sailed upon the sea"

The King has written a broad letter
And sealed it up with his own right hand
Sending word unto Sir Patrick
to come to him at his command

"An enemy then this must be
Who told the lie concerning me
For I was never a very good seaman,
Nor ever do intend to be"

"Last night I saw the new moon
With the old moon in her arm
A sign, a sign, since we were born
That means there'll be a deadly storm"

They had not sailed upon the sea
a day, a day, but barely three
When loud and boisterous blew the winds
And loud and stormy blew the sea

Then up there came a mermaiden,
A comb and glass all in her hand
"Here's a health to you, my merry young men
for you'll not see dry land again"

"Long may my lady stand
With a lantern in her hand
Before she sees my bonny ship
Come sailing homeward to dry land"

Forty miles off Aberdeen,
The waters fifty fathoms deep
There lies good Sir Patrick Spens
With the Scots lords at his feet

I haven't heard that song in years. Reminded me of a time with a friend years ago I'd forgotten about for some reason. Thanks for the post made me smile. (y)

As for music I've been enjoying some stuff YouTube (Suicide Sheep, Valiant, Etc.) introduced me to. I'd forgotten about the channel. So glad it introduced me to the Tech Thieves but I posted them in the other thread already today. ;) So here's a few other songs.




"As I decay; I lose the part of me that wants to fight." - Omri



"Whisper me a story; You don't need to lie. I can spoil the ending; Everybody dies." - Royal & The Serpent



"Fuck all the people in the Bentley's with their nice lives; Fuck all the people in the mansions with their bright skies; Fuck all the people sitting pretty with their sane minds; Fuck, think I'm becoming the villain of my story." - Unlike Pluto

Glad it brought back some good memories!

I saw Monster Magnet one time only. They played “Space Lord” and this orgasmic energy filled the entire air. It was magical. I came uncontrollably while they played that song. They just brought something really sensual to the atmosphere.
