Happy New Year friends and internet voyeurs. I have no exciting New Year's Eve stories because I worked all night. From 7pm-7am. I don't know whose pantleg I pissed on to get such a bum rap, but so it goes. I almot got drunk at work, though. Almost. For some reason I just felt compelled to post the lyrics to one of my favorite songs ever, which I discovered this year (a mere few months ago in fact), and am ever so glad I did. For those of you who are not familiar with the Television Personalities, let me just say that I love Dan Treacy and his revolving cast of musicians. I recommend starting with the album "Mummy Your Not Watching Me" as it contains this song and is the strongest of the 5 cds I've acquired in the last few months. There's still a ton more TVPs that I need, so feel free to hook a brother up. Anyhows, if you are interested, you can find out a lot at this website. Enjoy. I wish I could write lyrics as amazing as these. Maybe I have and just don't believe it.

If I Could Write Poetry
by Daniel Treacy - Twist and Shout Music

All those times we spent together
All the love I had I gave to you
Sitting on a park bench in the autumn
Holding hands under a cloudless sky
Happiness is knowing you care for someone
And never having to give a reasons why
For love is never having to say anything
My love is yours to keep till the day you die

If I could write poetry
I would write a thousand poems
To tell the world that I love you

Dreaming we would always be together
Chasing rainbows in a happy sky
Thinking we would always be together
But now I find there's no tears left to cry
If I could catch a falling star I'd give it to you
Even though it's never been done before
And now I'm on a park bench in the autumn
I watch the rainbow disappear from view

If I could write poetry
I would write a thousand poems
To tell the world that I love you

Thinking all the time we spent together
All the love I had I gave to you
Sitting on a park bench in the autumn
Holding hands under a cloudless sky
Dreaming we would always be together
Thinking we would always be together
Hoping we would always be together
But the rainbow disappeared from view

If I could write poetry
I would write a thousand poems
To tell the world that I love you


sleepytime for J-Ro now.
