Interactive Who Song

edited December 2006 in Poetry, Prose, Music & Art
You were under the impression
That when you were walking forward
You'd end up further onward
But things ain't quite that simple.


You got altered information
You were told to not take chances
You missed out on new dances
Now you're losing all your dimples.


My jacket's gonna be cut and slim and checked,
Maybe a touch of seersucker, with an open neck.
I ride a G S scooter with my hair cut neat,
Wear my wartime coat in the wind and sleet.


Love Reign O'er Me.
Love Reign O'er Me.
Love.


I've had enough of living
I've had enough of dying
I've had enough of smiling
I've had enough of crying
I've taken all the high roads
I've squandered and I've saved
I've had enough of childhood
I've had enough of graves...


Get a job and fight to keep it,
Strike out to reach a mountain.
Be so nice on the outside
But inside keep ambition


Don't cry because you hunt them
Hurt them first they'll love you
There's a millionaire above you
And you're under his suspicion.


I've had enough of dancehalls
I've had enough of pills
I've had enough of streetfights
I've seen my share of kills
I'm finished with the fashions
And acting like I'm tough
I'm bored with hate and passion
I've had enough of trying to ...





Choose a one word verb, rather than "love", to make your cliff-jump-cry.

    Yes, it's a Townshend song so far. But with that last word?

    Should it rhyme with Love?

    I was going to end mine with

    "Try booking a hotel room somewhere in Yorkshire, where the cold water doesn't come on in the bathroom

    you don't care, because your first priority on entering your lodgings is to have a fast shit

    but once you've seen to that job, and are still on the pot, you find out

    while flailing your arms below you at the floor of the bog

    for paper

    that there's no toilet roll

    at all

    so you

    came up to Yorkshire

    in your white trousers

    and you're playing a gig


    so


    you stick your bum over the edge of bath

    knowing that the shower head doesn't work

    but it will wash the arseage

    a bit

    but will be hot

    because the cold doesn't work





    So you spray the hot

    and

    it's



    cold"

    the bollocks I wrote, aside, I wonder if a good poem works like a good joke! You know, setting the scene, the little narrative, and the twist? :P

    I think this is kinda funny. I should re-write the song in this theme. Wierd Al has nothing on me.
