Belle and Sebatian
Belle and Sebastian are a band from Glasgow
Another sunny day,
I met you up in the garden
You were digging plants,
I dug you, beg your pardon
I took a photograph of you
in the herbaceous border
It broke the heart of men
and flowers and girls and trees
Another rainy day,
we're trapped inside with a train set
Chocolate on the boil,
steamy windows when we met
You've got the attic window
looking out on the cathedral
And on a Sunday evening
bells ring out in the dusk
Another day in June,
we'll pick eleven for football
We're playing for our lives
the referee gives us fuck all
I saw you in the corner of my eye on the sidelines
Your dark mascara bids me to historical deeds
Everybody's gone
you picked me up for a long drive
We take the tourist route
the nights are light until midnight
We took the evening ferry over to the peninsula
We found the avenue of trees went up to the hill
That crazy avenue of trees, I'm living there still
There's something in my eye
a little midge so beguiling
Sacrificed his life to bring us both eye to eye
I heard the Eskimos
remove obstructions with tongues, dear
You missed my eye,
I wonder why, I didn't complain
You missed my eye,
I wonder why, please do it again
The lovin is a mess
what happened to all of the feeling?
I thought it was for real;
babies, rings and fools kneeling
And words of pledging trust
and lifetimes stretching forever
So what went wrong?
It was a lie, it crumbled apart
Ghost figures of past,
present, future haunting the heart

Just for a laugh
The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it's still on my list.PARAPROSDOKIANS...(Winston Churchill loved them) are figures of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected; frequently humorous:
If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
They begin the evening news with 'Good Evening,' then proceed to tell you why it isn't.
To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research.
You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.
Money can't buy happiness, but it sure makes misery easier to live with.
You're never too old to learn something stupid.
Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car. Amen
