quiet

no, we're not going to sing along with Bjork again. . .
.
altho, for some reason, thinking of Bjork makes me think of this
.
. "can you wait for ever
if time is all it takes. . ."
.
and falling stars make me think of this (not that I want to rule the world, cos I don't)
.
and thinking of stars coming out make me think of this guy and lighting up the sky makes me think about this:
.

and if I fast forward in the soundtrack of my mind from the night I saw the aurora, I get to walk around the Big Apple again, singing along to this (which wouldn't scare the children of today but did used to make me shiver)

and one of the other thing I taped to listen to on my Walkman at the time was this* which I love because I've always wished I could bend strings. . .

so what have you got at the end of the day?

what have you got
at the start of yours?
HAPPINESS, I hope

(*nice how the zylophone on that takes us almost back to the beginning, and Patrick Moore, eh)

beach, anyone?




.
and of course, because we're going to be on holiday, at the end of the day there has to be the obligatory round of karaoke - let's join these three*. . .

J'veux pas finir mes jours à Tombouctou
(Tombouctou)
La peau tirée par des machines à clous
Moi je veux être fripé, triplement fripé
Frippé comme une triplette de Belleville

J'veux pas finir ma vie à Acapulco
(Acapulco)
Danser tout raide avec des gigolos
Moi je veux être tordu, triplement tordu
Balancé comme une triplette de Belleville
(Allez les filles, allons...)

Swinging Belleville rendez-vous
Marathon dancing doum dilou
Vaudou cancan, balais tabou
Au Belleville swinging rendez-vous

J'veux pas finir ma vie à Singapour
(Singapour)
Jouer au dico, manger des petits fours
Moi je veux être idiot, triplement z'idiot
Gondolé comme une triplette de Belleville

J'veux pas finir ma vie à Honolulu
(Honolulu)
Chanter comme un oiseau ça n'se fait plus
Je veux ma voix brisée, triplement brisée
Swinguer comme une triplette de Belleville

J'voudrais finir ma vie à Katmandou
(Katmandou)
C'est bien plus doux de faire des rimes en "ou"
Mais je veux être givré, triplement givré
Swinguer comme les triplettes de Belleville
(Allez les filles...)

Au Belleville swinging rendez-vous
