The summer of 1972. You had to be there. I’m grateful every day that I was. No, I can’t forget this evening Or your face as you were leaving But I guess that’s just the way the story goes You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows Yes, it shows No, I can’t…

I haven’t had too much time to think about Helen’s Song Lyric Sunday this week, and I’ve already deployed Grateful Dead’s ‘Loser’ for another theme, so here’s something from outside my usual gene pool.

“Quidquid Latine dictum sit altum videtur”
I’m no great fan of U2, but my God, those first three tracks on ‘The Joshua Tree’ could make you forgive just about anything. Except Bono. However, this song – the second track of the album – was absolutely the first thing that came to mind when I saw Helen’s theme for this week was…
In most cases, my response to Helen’s Song Lyric Sunday theme will contain the keyword in the title, thereby displaying a regrettably typical lack of imagination. Which is why my first thought on seeing this week’s theme of ‘Sleep’ was John Lennon’s ‘How Do You Sleep?’ But then I asked myself why forego an opportunity…
