After having to dig a little deper than usual for inspiration last week, on this occasion I’m going with my first thought for Jim’s latest, flavour-packed, Song Lyric Sunday prompt.

It’s not often I have to go down as far as my fourth choice to find a suitable song in response to Jim’s Song Lyric Sunday, but this is one of those times. The theme this week is looking ahead to better times (‘This too shall pass’), but I’ve already used ‘The End’, ‘It’s Over’…

‘Relating is what brings together Jim’s key words for this week’s ‘Song Lyric Sunday’. Well, if there is an ‘Us’ it almost goes without saying that there’ll be a ‘Them’ as well – as in this song by Pink Floyd Us and them And after all we’re only ordinary men Me and you God only…

I must admit I was almost stumped by Jim’s Mexican-themed, Day-of-the-dead marking prompts for Song Lyric Sunday this week. The Eagles’ ‘Tequila Sunrise’ was what came immediately to mind, but I suspect there will be a few posts featuring that. Accordingly, I did a bit of research and was pleased to find this, which –…
