New Morning Song For a while there, every morning, I woke up to the Dropkick's "I'm Shipping Up To Boston." But like all good things, they get beaten to death by marketing and promotions people. (like the folks at the Heights...seriously, mix in Black Betty or Hell's Bells or something...even Tessie...)

So teetering between Foukishima's "Tokyo," Phil Collins' "In the Air Tonight, and Joe Cocker's "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window," I think I've found the winner. And an apropos tune at this particular venture: Colin Hay's Waiting for my Life to Begin.

Lyrics posted below. Have a good Turkey Day. At some point, this place might actually get to be a blog again and not some vacant lot in cyberspace.

Any minute now, my ship is coming in
I'll keep checking the horizon
I'll stand on the bow, feel the waves come crashing
Come crashing down down down, on me

And you say, be still my love
Open up your heart
Let the light shine in
But don't you understand
I already have a plan
I'm waiting for my real life to begin

When I awoke today, suddenly nothing happened
But in my dreams, I slew the dragon
And down this beaten path, and up this cobbled lane
I'm walking in my old footsteps, once again

And you say, just be here now
Forget about the past, your mask is wearing thin
Let me throw one more dice
I know that I can win
I'm waiting for my real life to begin

Any minute now, my ship is coming in
I’ll keep checking the horizon
And I'll check my machine, there's sure to be that call
It's gonna happen soon, soon, oh so very soon
It's just that times are lean

And you say, be still my love
Open up your heart, let the light shine in
Don't you understand
I already have a plan
I'm waiting for my real life to begin

Hey....hey, heeeee.....hey.....hey, hey....heeee....heeee...

On a clear day
I can see
See a very long way

On a clear day
I can see
See a very long way
