We embarked upon a titanic voyage to a new world.
It’s said that behind every great man there's a great woman; But a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.
7 bells rang late that night, as our ship stuck fast; between the devil and the deep blue sea.

Fingers frantic! tapping code…—-…

Sailors quickly battened down the hatches and stowed away the Riff-raff, for they knew fine words would butter no parsnips, Better here than there in third class.
Some fiddlers on the deck played “Nearer My God to Thee", As the bubbles rose from beneath the sea, come buckle down boys for the devils to pay, come hell or high water he’ll have his pay.
Mothers row, land lubbers row, it's time to leave this god forsaken place. pulling hard for freedom.
Ten steel decks split and snap, as they join the *****, and hundreds either shriek or pray; as La dolce vita slowly ebbed away.
Mercifully the cacophony descends ever silent, as fifteen hundred souls become neither fish nor flesh, rotting from the head down.
Save our souls •••- - - •••.   … — …
Bless all those souls lost at sea!

I'm so lonely; all alone in my bed,
I don't recall all the things that you said,
but I dream of you all night long and I'm singing this crazy love song, Oh honey won't you give me ~
Won't you give me your love;
under the stars above.

Fold your arms around me,
and squeeze me tight.
we'll dream together;
all through the night.

And I won't be lonely; all alone in our bed,
And I'll recall all the things that you said,
and I'll dream of you; all night long
wake up singing this crazy love song.
Oh come on honey won't you give me ~
won't give me your love? under the stars above!
Under estimates falling in love

The blues is the frank truth,
You have to believe that it's a force for good,
I've lived every word!
singing about what I know,
3 chords and I'm begging for our freedom.
The honest truth; spoken plainly,
just to let you know.
~
I've a dark soul always hungry for change!
What does my blues come from...

Oatcakes make great bikinis they're all the rage back home.

You can rap up your eggs and bacon; fill them with sausage and beans.

They're baked on a griddle or backstone; made from oats, flour and yeast.

You can wear them like potters bikinis or munch on a toasty cheese feast!

Give yourself a minute.
Give yourself a minute!

My estimation is that every human is primarily in the pursuit of love.
and that most of us are worthy; and that it's value stretches way; way beyond the boundaries of the economic machine.
~
Love is priceless!
~
Yet we choose to live in a material world that suppresses love; and we call this sensible.
Every one is in pursuit of love;
You can't buy love with coin
