DRIVING HOME FROM WORK - WHAT A COMPLICATED MESS
GLAD TO BE DONE FOR THE DAY - FLIP ON THE RADIO I GUESS
Thoughts in my mind just sail away
The images of you just fade away
what was *that* song?
well now, here's one I know:
Artist: Sting
Album: Brand New Day
Title: Brand New Day
YAH-HOO! MADE THE GREEN LIGHT!
How many of you people out there
Been hurt in some kind of love affair?
so I was thinking about us
And how many times did you swear
That you'd never love again?
both in the present and the past
How many lonely, sleepless nights?
How many lies, how many fights?
it seems like nothing ever lasts
And why would you want to
Put yourself through all of that again?
my life is changing way too fast
BONEHEAD: DIDN'T YOU EVEN LOOK BEFORE PULLING OUT IN FRONT OF ME?
OR DID YOU, AND YOU DIDN'T CARE?
Love is pain I hear you say
Love is a cruel and bitter way of
Paying you back for all the faith you ever had in your brain
i've been happy in my life
with my children and my wife
How could it be that what you need the most
Can leave you feeling just like a ghost?
You never want to feel so sad and lost again
yet i'm in a state of strife
One day you could be looking
Through an old book in rainy weather
You see a picture of her smiling at you
When you were still together
i've recently remembered
old memories, old embers
You could be walking down the street
And who should you chance to meet?
But that same old smile you've been thinking of all day?
a first meeting in september
a last parting in december
Why don't we turn the clock to zero honey?
I'll sell the stock we'll spend all the money
We're starting up a brand new day
those old memories, so hazy
Turn the clock all the way back
I wonder if she'll take me back
I'm thinking in a brand new way
at times they drive me crazy
MAN, IT'S A SOLID MASS OF CARS AS FAR AS I CAN SEE...
Turn the clock to zero sister
You'll never know how much I missed her
Starting up a brand new day
the old dreams come back in full force
Turn the clock to zero boss
We're starting up a brand new day
The rivers wide we'll swim across
it all resolves i guess in due course
It could happen to you
Just like it happened to me
the stirring of old feelings and the fears
There is simply no immunity
There's no guarantee
the pain of all those forgotten tears
I say love is such a force if you find yourself in it
You need some time for reflection
steely dan and reeling in the years
You say, baby wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute
and crying in a thousand beers
Turn the clock to zero honey
I'll sell the stock we'll spend all the money
the feeling that i've been here before
We're starting up a brand new day
Turn the clock to zero Mac
a silent closing of a forgotten door
I'm begging her to take me back
I'm thinking in a brand new way
the promise of reopening it once more
Turn the clock to zero boss
The rivers wide we'll swim across
recalling old emotions
Starting up a brand new day
Turn the clock to zero buddy
old times and old notions
Don't wanna be no fuddy duddy
LOL
We're Starting up a brand new day
like a sunrise over the ocean
I'm the rhythm in your tune
I'm the sun and you're the moon
GET OUT OF THE ROAD - YOU CAN JOG ALL RIGHT - BUT NOT BEHIND A BLIND TURN WITH A TRUCK BEARING DOWN ON US FROM THE OTHER DIRECTION - MAN, IF I HIT YOU, THE JURY WOULD THINK IT WAS MY FAULT... THIS JUST DOESN'T SEEM FAIR TO ME - HAVE YOU REALLY DECIDED THIS BEHAVIOR WILL EXTEND YOUR LIFE???
I'm the bat and you're the cave
You're the beach and I'm the wave
i'm just a voice in cyberspace
I'm the plough and you're the land
You're the glove and I'm the hand
I'm the train and you're the station
I'm the flagpole to your nation
i'm just a long forgotten face
I'm the present to your future
You're the wound and I'm the suture
You're the magnet to my pole
I'm the devil in your soul
i'm just an oyster with no pearl
You're the pupil I'm the teacher
You're the church and I'm the preacher
You're the flower I'm the rain
You're the tunnel I'm the train
i'm just a lost-soul in the world
Stand up, all you lovers in the world
Stand up and be counted, every boy and every girl
Stand up, all you lovers in the world
We're starting up a brand new day
but i'm a new man, getting strong
You're the crop to my rotation
You're the sum of my equation
I'm the answer to your question
If you follow my suggestion
yet i'm an old man, just getting along
We could turn this ship around
And go up instead of down
You're the pan and I'm the handle
You're the flame and I'm the candle
we're a memory, just an old song
Stand up, all you lovers in the world
Stand up and be counted, every boy and every girl
Stand up, all you lovers in the world
Starting up a brand new day
yet we're the latest rave, about to bang a gong
PULLING INTO OUR DRIVEWAY, IT'S NICE TO BE HOME. THERE WILL BE HUNGRY CATS TO FEED... BUT THAT'S OK
