Song lyric of the day
Who cares where national borders lie?
Who cares whose laws you're governed by?
Who cares what name you call a town?
Who'll care when you're six feet beneath the ground?
- From Sunrise by The Divine Comedy
My song lyric of the day comes from a Neil Hannon song which is about his growing up in Northern Ireland during the troubles. Hannon was born in Londonderry (Derry) and raised in Enniskillen. The song is one of hope and immediately after the verses above he concludes with a massive message of hope:
From the corner of my eye
A hint of blue in the black sky
A ray of hope, a beam of light
An end to thirty years of night
The church-bells ring, the children sing
What is this strange and beautiful thing
It’s the sunrise
Can you see the sunrise?
I can see the sunrise
This is quite a prophetic song in the light of what happened subsequently.
Random thought of the day - why when a footballer narrowly misses or makes a bad miss does his manager/coach turn away from the field of play and clutch his head. Just watch the next time there is a bad miss and you will see this happen.
Today I'm off to take photographs at the auditions for this year's Hethersett's Got Talent competition. I will let you know how I get on tomorrow.
Final thought on the sporting theme. This morning I watched Norwich boxer Sam Sexton get well and truly pummelled by Liverpool's David Price. Price looks like a heavyweight champion in waiting to me. He is 6ft 8in tall and lean and hits like a sledgehammer and seems to have all the punches from the jab through to the uppercut. I am off to Liverpool at the end of the week for a few days. It will be interesting to see what the local people think of his chances of eventually winning a world title. I would put them at very very good.
