I do not mind, in fact I was counting on you to post a song and you came through just as I expected haha! We can talk music for the rest of eternity now HAHAHA or until one of us fades out stage left.
Here is a snippet of some lyrics for "sayonara" by the Pogues:
"OK, it's time for Sayonara
So long yankee break my heart
Now there's nothing left but sorrow
Even the best friends they must part"
The singer sounds a little bit whisky tipsy - the song is great fun though. I am playing it again. Life is awash with hello's and goodbye's... I am starting to wonder if I say goodbye a little too easily though lol - the art of Non attachment may have worked a little too well for me LOL.
I may need to bring it back in a little bit!

I had this song stuck in my head last night: Sickly sentimental song written by a Scottish expat singing about his homeland. It was the chorus that got me.

The lyrics are not online so I tried to capture the lyrics and write them down through his Scottish accent .
The End of an Auld Song By Eric Bogle
You're still the first verse of my song,
The melody which shapes a rhyme,
You're the beat which drives me on,
The light which colours every line.
You're still the echo in my soul,
A bright green fading into dark,
You're an ache I can't control,
You're still an arrow in my heart.
Chorus
From there to here, this roads been long
But now I am back where I belong,
At the end of an auld, auld song.
You're still the hawks cry on the wind,
In a high and lonely place,
You're the snow drops in the spring,
A drunkards red and angry face.
You're still the hand that's free to give,
A stiff neck that will not bend,
A fierce pride that can't forgive,
A door I opened, my dear friend.
CHORUS
The rest of the lyrics I have trouble understanding but I know that there are words like "Bonnie", and place names Brigadoon and Castlemaine in there.
Oh and "Pints so heavy at the pub" of course
