From George Jones’ “Same Ole Me” _With time my face has wrinkled but my blue eyes still sparkle With the love I felt for you the day we met_ Where “twinkle” instead of “sparkle” would actually rhyme. ---

[QUOTE=Colophon] See post #84 in this thread. Not sure if I’m being whooshed, but it’s [not a woman](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Blunt). [/QUOTE] That’s a guy singing? Er, Mr. Blunt? I think I may have some insight into why your girlfriend left you. ---

I read the news today, oh boy. The _ **British** _ army had just won the war. ---

Corrosion of Conformity had a great metal song a while back “Clean my Wounds” with the lines “help me jesus , help me clean my wounds/He said he cannot heal \*\*that \*\* kind”. Now if the line had been “he said he cannot heal **MY** kind”, you would have had a great dual meaning with the “my kind of wound, or my kind of person”- a reprobate who God refuses to help. ---

[QUOTE=Manatee] He sings “When at last I am given my due” (that is, once I’ve been given proper respect). It has nothing to do with money. [/QUOTE] I know that is what he _means_, but he very clearly says “dues.” My kids listen to this song a **lot**. Not to mention that it bugged me the very first time I heard it. ---

[QUOTE=kaylasdad99] Listening to the Beatles’ Love last night, while detangling Michaela’s hair, I fastened my attention on the lyrics to “_Lady Madonna_”. There were several references to the notion of lots of children wondering what might be the source of their mother’s income. _Bzzzzt!_ Children _never_ wonder about where their parents get the money to finance their lifestyle. In fact, they’re noted for not having a scintilla of curiosity about it. [/QUOTE] Hee hee. Sing it, brutha. ---
