so I'm not sure "happy dance" smiley is the one for me either - no swaying or clapping allowed by our vicar

but even the congregation likes to sing harmony.
I liked Leo in Baz Lurhmann's Romeo and Juliet too, Impy.Impenitent wrote:OT:
It's strange because I really have not liked di Caprio in anything I've seen except Romeo and Juliet, in which he was really excellent! I think it was a combination of very skilled direction, extraordinary if unorthodox script and his youth at the time. It really worked for me!
But nothing else since.
Paul Simon is such a great lyricist.Voronwë_the_Faithful wrote:A man walks down the street
He says why am I soft in the middle now
Why am I soft in the middle
The rest of my life is so hard
I need a photo-opportunity
I want a shot at redemption
Don't want to end up a cartoon
In a cartoon graveyard
Bonedigger Bonedigger
Dogs in the moonlight
Far away my well-lit door
Mr. Beerbelly Beerbelly
Get these mutts away from me
You know I don't find this stuff amusing anymore
If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty when you call me
You can call me Al
A man walks down the street
He says why am I short of attention
Got a short little span of attention
And wo my nights are so long
Where's my wife and family
What if I die here
Who'll be my role-model
Now that my role-model is
Gone Gone
He ducked back down the alley
With some roly-poly little bat-faced girl
All along along
There were incidents and accidents
There were hints and allegations
If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty when you call me
You can call me Al
Call me Al
A man walks down the street
It's a street in a strange world
Maybe it's the Third World
Maybe it's his first time around
He doesn't speak the language
He holds no currency
He is a foreign man
He is surrounded by the sound
The sound
Cattle in the marketplace
Scatterlings and orphanages
He looks around, around
He sees angels in the architecture
Spinning in infinity
He says Amen! and Hallelujah!
If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty when you call me
You can call me Al
Call me Al
Sorry!
I've never really made a distinction. I've always felt the great lyricists were equally great poets. People like Paul Simon and Bob Dylan are modern day poets to my mind. The fact that they put music behind them doesn't change that.BrianIsSmilingAtYou wrote: Paul Simon is such a great lyricist.
If I ever wanted to turn to writing lyrics, in addition to poetry, he would be one to learn from.
