<--- has just realised what she's been humming

(all day) (today and yesterday)
.
how many times do I have to try to tell you
that I'm sorry for the things I've done, but when I start to try to tell you
that's when you have to tell me, hey... this kind of trouble's only just begun
I tell myself too many times:
why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut?
that's why it hurts so bad to hear the words that keep on falling from your mouth
falling from your mouth, falling from your mouth
tell me... why

I may be mad, I may be blind, I may be viciously unkind
but I can still read what you're thinking
and I've heard it said too many times that you'd be better off, besides...
why can't you see this boat is sinking?
let's go down to the water's edge, we can cast away those doubts
some things are better left unsaid, but they still turn me inside out
turning inside out turning inside out. . .

this is the book I never read, these are the words I never said
this is the path I'll never tread, these are the dreams I'll dream instead
this is the joy that's seldom spread, these are the tears...
the tears we shed
this is the fear, this is the dread, these are the contents of my head
and these are the years that we have spent and this is what they represent
and this is how I feel, do you know how I feel?
'cause I don't think you know how I feel, I don't think you know what I feel
I don't think you know what I fear, you don't know what I fear

Ain't it amazing which part stuck with me....

Yup--it'll stay stuck for a bit. Been a while since I've heard this one. I think I've missed it. So ty for this.

Mel said...

G'morning!
Nope--this isn't the song in my head.
Oddly enough it's the Alka Seltzer commercial from eons back.

Plop plop fizz fizz--oh what a relief it is...

*laughing* Has nothing to do with Vicus showing up!!

I sometimes wonder what Horatio the Humster hums, especially when he's in his wheel.

Mel said...

Hmmmmmm....maybe--

And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return, we can only look behind from where we came
And go round and round and round in the circle game....


Or...maybe not....LOL
