and we've had to live with that god awful gordon lightfoot ever since.....sorry, just not a fan...i know he is highly respected, just was never a fan

 

But you must - you must - bow before the greatness of the Lightfoot couplet.

 

Although my most recent hobby is replacing lines in "If You Could Read My Mind" with lyrics from "Black Dog"

 

 

If you could read my mind love,
What a tale my thoughts could tell.
Just like an old time movie,
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well.
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet.
You know that ghost is me.
And I dont know but I been told
A big legged wom'n aint got no soul.
If I could read your mind love,
What a tale your thoughts could tell.
Just like a paperback novel,
The kind the drugstores sell.
When you reach the part where the heartaches come,
the hero would be me.
Heroes often fail.
Took too long fore I found out
What people mean by down and out...
