[ALENUSH3]

non per tutti...pochi ma buoni.

[XGRIMYONEX]

bad picture he looks like a fuckin bitch

[mmbreeze]

And make no mistake

Though there was no formal wake, sir

Your spirit has fled

It no longer casts shade, in the world that you tread

There's no man in the moon to brighten your bed

That light on which you once fed

As sleep entered your head

Is just something long ago read

[mmbreeze]

Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, we're enjoying romantic times So turn a blind eye to those friends left behind one day you'll say, “Well, I tried.” But let's face it, you didn't try so hard There in the knacker's yard You just showed them your get-out-of-jail-card And thought, “phew, there but for the grace of God, go I” Well here's news! There's no God, with spare grace And if there were he'd not waste it On those already dead

[mmbreeze]

For we are drawn, drawn, drawn

We're drawn like a neck to a noose

like a tongue to bad tooth

to things of no use

The banker on the news gave his views

As the market purged his life

This was worse than divorce, he said, “Of course, I've lost half my assets

But I've still got the wife.”

[mmbreeze]

Are you next in line? Are you next in line? For nothing at all. All things great and small With their backs to the wall Start exposing their claws In time with quartered laughter Like signs of slaughter after The rains washed away The blood and dust of the day Before we start up again

[mmbreeze]

Now there's no man in the moon And it's breaking my heart 'cause he's gone and left town He wants to make a new start I've no forward address, we fell out of touch now he's gone away and I miss him so much He'd seemed low for a while Perhaps he's grown tired of our harsh earthly lights Felt no one really saw; that they would always want more That they would always want more

[mmbreeze]

Mr Finn did me the favour to send me the lyrics of that great song....
