It explains that the inspiration for the opening lyric was a jabbering wife and how she sounded to her unreceptive husband.<br />Kinda takes the romance out of it.

My favorite passage:<br />"Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup. They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe."<br />Ah, Mr. Lennon. <br />He also said, "We all shine on. Like the moon and the stars and the sun. We all shine on."<br />I miss him.Kaleymorrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-29988135048275322802012-01-05T08:49:29.024-06:002012-01-05T08:49:29.024-06:00Vanilla Rose ~~~

I enjoy researching all those posts - music and art are less blood pressure raising than researching US politics, so I do try to limit how many times I venture there. :-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-16521632395565413762012-01-04T15:11:17.832-06:002012-01-04T15:11:17.832-06:00Anonymous/Gian Paul ~~ Yes, indeed!

At the time of the Falklands charade she was at her vicious worst. I sighed a bit too about Madonna's Eva Peron - she was so wrong in that part... I love the musical.Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-7098838047949327402012-01-04T14:47:22.585-06:002012-01-04T14:47:22.585-06:00Fairy Tale

I can...Fairy Tale<br /> <br />A memory of haunting nostalgia <br />I cannot not touch it, taste it, hold it, know it, breathe it <br />Still it picques me at the corner of my eye, below the level of perception. <br />The words escape me. <br />One must be very careful of words. <br />They hold great power, mystic and legal and personal. <br />Words can weave a whole world, a whirl of worlds, a wild wind of words <br />They can create reality for those who get caught up in them. <br />The right word at the right time can catalyze miracles. <br />The right word at the wrong time can destroy the eternal. <br />How might I find the words to capture my dream, my destiny? <br />Enter the Fool upon the Precipice, prattling ditties of the daily airwaves. <br />She is whirling blithely, eyes upon a distant rainbow, breathing in clouds <br />Breathing out daisies and daffodils and a brilliance of pansies. <br />She is dancing to her own symphony, entranced in her deepest essence. <br />Without thought, without prayer, without a government authorized identity <br />There are no guarantees, no happy ending. <br />There is a tale I try to tell. <br />Its point escapes me, withering into fairydust. <br />I breathe in the poisoned air, drink the poisoned water, eat the poisoned food <br />Like a desperately swimming fish in a polluted bowl, like a creature of the streets eating garbage, <br />Like a child. <br />The pattern is corrupted, but I follow it as best I can. <br />I have been told that if I can properly put the pieces in place <br />All will be revealed; all will be peace and beauty and love. <br />The pieces of my shattered heart.libramoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06077072773341726387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-36336029581900263542012-01-04T10:47:27.153-06:002012-01-04T10:47:27.153-06:00Don't forget they're, there & their.

Accept lower standards or stay PO'd all the time. You may not think yourself a word artist but in addition to your political posts I look forward to your music and art posts as well.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14921333626480877023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-43947335512289617582012-01-04T09:14:33.300-06:002012-01-04T09:14:33.300-06:00GP: How good your Sun in Aquarius and Venus in Sag...GP: How good your Sun in Aquarius and Venus in Sagittarius do their work. In years to come there will be need formuch more linguistic tolerance, mostly do to the net and easy communications (when the net works).<br /><br />PS.
