What's Your Favourite Song

I was thinking about favourite songs, and what they say about a person... For example, Roy Keane's favourite is said to be Bob Dylan's Positively 4th Street. Scroll down and read the lyrics. Here is a snippet:

You got a lotta nerve
To say you are my friend
When I was down
You just stood there grinning

It's just Roy all out, isn't it? Not that I even know him!
I was soooo busy analysing Roy, that I nearly fell off my chair when I thought of my own favourite song and what it might mean about ME!! As a teenager, my favourite was The Eagle's "Lying Eyes" and I still love it. I absolutely HATE deceit and lying of any kind.

Do we choose songs because they describe us? Do the lyrics simply resonate with us? Do we like something that agrees with our own point of view? Do we simply choose a snappy tune?

What is YOUR favourite song? Tell us - does it describe a deep part of you?



Positively 4th Street by Bob Dylan

You got a lotta nerve
To say you are my friend
When I was down
You just stood there grinning

You got a lotta nerve
To say you got a helping hand to lend
You just want to be on
The side that's winning

You say I let you down
You know it's not like that
If you're so hurt
Why then don't you show it

You say you lost your faith
But that's not where it's at
You had no faith to lose
And you know it

I know the reason
That you talk behind my back
I used to be among the crowd
You're in with

Do you take me for such a fool
To think I'd make contact
With the one who tries to hide
What he don't know to begin with

You see me on the street
You always act surprised
You say, "How are you?" "Good luck"
But you don't mean it

When you know as well as me
You'd rather see me paralyzed
Why don't you just come out once
And scream it

No, I do not feel that good
When I see the heartbreaks you embrace
If I was a master thief
Perhaps I'd rob them

And now I know you're dissatisfied
With your position and your place
Don't you understand
It's not my problem

I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment
I could be you

Yes, I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is
To see you

Well, I've heard it all now....
The new road linking Cork to Killarney is going to be re-routed because ecologists have found Killarney slugs in Cascade Wood in Ballyvourney. This road was to be built over 30 years ago and is a disgrace between Macroom and Killarney. The new GREEN Minister has said absolutely no to the slug destroyers!
Slugs?
The re-routing will cost a fortune! A fortune!
For slugs?
I know this wood. It's about 2 acres in size only. It's wild.
A big scelp of it was cut out of it only a few weeks ago for a prominent local politician's son to build a house on it.
Where were the slugs then?
Another well-connected fella cuts timber from it for his wood-burning stove!!!
What about the Slugs? Who will save the slugs from the builder? the chainsaw? the stove????
I listened to a programme about it on RTE Radio 1 tonight - The Green Light or something it's called. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The fabulousness of the slug was mentioned many times, and the ferns and the trees...... Some ecologist lady said how marvellous it is that the locals are full behind the protection of the slug and the wood..... No, they're not! They think it's a load of crap!
Spending possible millions to save a fecking slug?
I'm all for protecting our environment, but this is derisory!!
A slug, like??
Ah g'way from me wudja!
