These are the things that cheered me up today. The last few days I was feeling I was too far away from where I should be. I was feeling everything's wrong where I am. And maybe it is. But still, that's not all there is. Dreams and lyrics. The dreams are mine,the lyrics I'm about to share with you. Why am I telling you that? Well it's Saturday and I like posting in weekends. And also, it has to do with life as a Belle and Sebastian fan (life as a Belle and Sebastian fan: I found that in the list rules too. Maybe you should read it more often too).That's all it has to do with actually. I've been told the lyrics by a boy (Richard John Gillanders) on #sinister. He recited it all by heart, admire him. And then, Stuart Murdoch said, "I was suddenly alive to the possibility that there were people around who, if they wanted, could bring the country weeping to its knees with a line of poetry". Well...the dreams are mine...but I can assure you they are related too. And some people might even name the lyrics content. Though Llaura, who's wiser than us and who's been around longer, kindly indicated that someone else (Alasdair Cook) has already posted with that not so long ago, here is (a more accurate version of) Hurley's Having Dreams. Here she comes in the April sun in her dungarees and she's up for fun... Smiling like she's a crazy girl and she makes a face like she owns the place... And she does... We indulge ourselves in making a neck of beauty and circumstance... Not to mention her bold intention to keep the bairn and she's only seventeen... Now she's eight months pregnant in a dress she's so elegant... Does a handstand maybe though it's not good for the baby Hurley's havin' dream... Little hurley's havin' dreams... And he kicks and then he screams... And I can't get to sleep... Oh hurley I could weep! Hurley dreams of the time when he was a horse in Czechoslovakia.. Hurley, dear, you're a human being... Have your fun just now but you're gonna have to deal... She looks so fantastic pale blue sun specs made of plastic... How she used to love me her love goes on little Hurley... Hurley's havin' dream... Little hurley's havin' dreams... And he kicks and then he screams... And I can't get to sleep... Oh hurley I could weep! ps Yesterday I've also been told (by Will Salt) that in the month of July 151 different people sent 316 posts (top posters are Ken Chu and Kirsten Kenyon). Which means that in the month of July roughly 90% of the list didn't post at all. Maybe that's just the way things are -but I would personally want to say to anyone out there who would like to post but is too shy and thinks they've got nothing to say to give it a try - I will be very interested in hearing from them, and I don't think I'd be the only one. pss Kirsten please don't get it wrong I love your posts...And Ken,please get insulted....you owe it to the list... +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
