Decapitation at Table One.

[howtobe_good]

i spent a long time thinking of what to write, but i couldn't come up with anything to say.

The last train is nearly due,
The underground is closing soon,
And in the dark deserted station,
Restless in anticipation,
A man waits in the shadows.

His restless eyes leap and scratch,
At all that they can touch or catch,
And hidden deep within his pocket,
Safe

...crayon rosary...

such imagery.

it's lovely dear.

i guess quiet sometimes is more than words.

[howtobe_good]

yeah. i love the crayon rosary. definitely one of my favorite parts, along with "opens wide and welcome doors" and the poem rebounding across the tracks.

needless to say, paul simon is a genius.

and although i did not (though i really wish i did) write that, the last bit was me.

I know what you mean. Every single day I wish I had written certain songs, or even just certain lyrics.

[monkeysmurff]

oh paul simon.

well perhaps we can credit them, so you are not falsely praised.

hmm?

and i love you for it. :) <3

whoa. i haven't seen this post in a long time. i guess i didn't mean to suggest that becca wrote it. i just like when she posts lyrics in her journal. she always picks the good ones to share. that's all.

(whoo this makes me look ignorant...)

My brother has obviously paid you a humongous compliment by mistaking the work of one of the greatest songwriters/lyricists of the past century for yours.

I myself wasnt sure if it was Simon, I just googled the first line, because I wanted to see.

oh well you can't always be right. As my brother just pointed out. I wasn't sure if you had written it but assumed individuals in the know would have mentioned it in their posts. I guess I will just say what I said to earlier minus the self deprecationg bit.
Good Shit

[howtobe_good]

i'm sorry if i misled you. i never said i wrote it...and i said it was paul simon under "music"...oh well. sorry.

i wasnt going to say anything after aaron's post, because i figured it would be slightly embarrassing for everybody, but ben let the cat out of the bag. i will be sure to credit lyrics in the future.

[blameitoncain]

Oops, the tact lacker strikes again.

[celloferret]

It was a good post either way... It was partly me being lazy and not checking it.
