Jeremy Clarkson Is Hip Hop (Not!)

“Chasing Cars” – Snow Patrol

We’ll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don’t need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don’t quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They’re not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we’re told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that’s bursting into life

Let’s waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we’re told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that’s bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they’re all I can see

I don’t know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Fiona Friday – Dear God

 

It is not even half way through the year and I have attended four funerals and regretably missed a further three due to unavoidable commitments.

The common question from all was………why?

It is enough to question the deepest faith.

Here is XTC from the album “Skylarking”

‘Dear God” – XTC

Dear god,
Hope you got the letter,
And I pray you can make it better down here.
I dont mean a big reduction in the price of beer,
But all the people that you made in your image,
See them starving on their feet,
cause they dont get enough to eat

From god,
I cant believe in you.

Dear god,
Sorry to disturb you,
But I feel that I should be heard loud and clear.
We all need a big reduction in amount of tears,
And all the people that you made in your image,
See them fighting in the street,
cause they cant make opinions meet,
About god,
I cant believe in you.

Did you make disease, and the diamond blue?
Did you make mankind after we made you?
And the devil too!

Dear god,
Dont know if you noticed,
But your name is on a lot of quotes in this book.
Us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look,
And all the people that you made in your image,
Still believing that junk is true.
Well I know it aint and so do you,
Dear god,
I cant believe in,
I dont believe in,

I wont believe in heaven and hell.
No saints, no sinners,
No devil as well.
No pearly gates, no thorny crown.
Youre always letting us humans down.
The wars you bring, the babes you drown.
Those lost at sea and never found,
And its the same the whole world round.
The hurt I see helps to compound,
That the father, son and holy ghost,
Is just somebodys unholy hoax,
And if youre up there youll perceive,
That my hearts here upon my sleeve.
If theres one thing I dont believe in…

Its you,
Dear god.

Sunday Jazz – Let The Good Times Roll

Yesterday was one of my best days for a while a vital three points in the afternoon was followed by a few shandies at Clydebank FC’s superb Sportsman’s Dinner at which my big pal Jim Gallacher (aka Big Gall) was inducted into their Hall of Fame.

Clydebank FC Director Bill Abraham looks on, with the look of admiration we would have had were it a certain Johnnie Graham and Kenny Wilson, as previous inductee Jim Fallon introduces Big Gall.

As you will note from the table Tennent’s share price will once again have taken a hike upwards.

Brian McGinley did his usual jokes and did his best to keep things moving along, the two main speakers were Billy McNeil who struggled and perhaps spoke for too long, he may not be a true professional speaker but there is no doubt he is a true gentleman and we spent some time reminiscing on our mutual family home town of Bellshill.

Donald Findlay may be a bit of a buffoon but I have to admit he went down well and was funny if not totally “pc”

As you can see below a slim and fitlooking Gazza was in attendance

…………only joking, it is of course that thorn in the side to many a DFC defence Ken Eadie who was also inducted to the Hall Of Fame.

Anyway well done to everyone at the Bankies for a great night and to all……..Let The Good Times Roll

A Day In The Life

Today four weeks to the day of my wife’s funeral I will be attending my good friend and best man Jim Fallon’s wife’s funeral.

Fiona and Marilyn were good friends and the four of us until Marilyn and latterly Fiona became ill used to spend every Friday night out.

Marilyn was a big Beales fan and would often remind us that she saw them live, a few years ago she gave me all her original Beatles albums many of which had “I Love Paul” scribbled on them.

Wedding Bells

Gemma the daughter of very good friends of ours gets married today at the Sherbrook Castle Hotel.

We will both be there with the happy faces on for what promises to be a great day.

Last month Gemma asked me to compile a CD of music to be played during the meal, some of the selections were her choice as for the others she had trust in my taste so here we go with firstly one of Gemma’s tracks and a chosen gem from me.

“Chasing Cars”  Snow Patrol

“So Glad You’re Mine”  Elvis Presley
