If your life were like a movie, what would your 'theme song' be?

I think mine would be Witchy Woman by The Eagles (or was that a song Don Henley did during his solo career?)

Either way, it's a good fit for me.

What's your's????

There's an old country song by Mac Davis:

Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble

Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
when you're perfect in every way.
I can't wait to look in the mirror
cause I get better loking each day.
To know me is to love me
I must be a hell of a man.
Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
but I'm doing the best that I can.

I used to have a girlfriend
but she just couldn't compete
with all of these love starved women
who keep clamoring at my feet.
Well I prob'ly could find me another
but I guess they're all in awe of me.
Who cares, I never get lonesome
cause I treasure my own company.

Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
when you're perfect in every way,
I can't wait to look in the mirror
cause I get better looking each day
To know me is to love me
I must be a hell of a man.
Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
but I'm doing the best that I can.

I guess you could say I'm a loner,
a cowboy outlaw tough and proud.
I could have lots of friends if I want to
but then I wouldn't stand out from the crowd.
Some folks say that I'm egotistical.
Hell, I don't even know what that means.
I guess it has something to do with the way that I
fill out my skin tight blue jeans.

Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
when you're perfect in every way,
I can't wait to look in the mirror
cause I get better looking each day
To know me is to love me
I must be a hell of a man.
Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
but I'm doing the best that I can.
We're doing the best that we can

Knew of a band called WASp, or WAS fucking useless alias The Pet Shop Boys or even WAS-hed up Amy WAS-house alias, reincarnated Billie Holiday, heroin an all, WAS that what you WAS looking for?

Eddie and the Hot Rods- 'Do anything you wanna do'

or

'Pscho Killer' - Talking Heads


or


'There's No-one Quite Like Grandma' - St Winifreds School Choir.

Wire "I Am The Fly".

"I am the fly in the ointment". Splendid.


Also "LSD Is Dead" Hugo Race and True Spirit. Excellent song.

Hi Phil!

I can't speak for everyone on here, but I missed you

Long time no see Phil.

Thank You the lovely Bitters lady that you are.

Jesus Budda missed me too, he pined away, stop writing, over-ate and put on a frock and sang his little heart out on national TV. He didn't even brush his curly gray hair or anything. I would have normally done it for him, but without me he was lost.


I have been reading your homepage about David Lynch. I too 'do not get' the man. The worst film I ever watched was "Eraser Head" it wasn't scary, but I felt as if I was going mad about ten minutes into the film.


I truly believe the guy is in a constant state of psychosis, which will eventually be revealed in an biography or arrest sheet.

Thanks again Mrs Bitters and I like the thread.


I should actually sing " Hello Hello It's good to be back" by GG, but that would make me a bad person.

(Girl with the) Faraway Eyes

I was driving home early sunday morning through bakersfield
Listening to gospel music on the colored radio station
And the preacher said, you know you always have the
Lord by your side

And I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran
Twenty red lights in his honor
Thank you jesus, thank you lord

I had an arrangement to meet a girl, and I was kind of late
And I thought by the time I got there shed be off
Shed be off with the nearest truck driver she could find
Much to my surprise, there she was sittin in the corner
A little bleary, worse for wear and tear
Was a girl with far away eyes

So if youre down on your luck
And you cant harmonize
Find a girl with far away eyes
And if youre downright disgusted
And life aint worth a dime
Get a girl with far away eyes

Well the preacher kept right on saying that all I had to do was send
Ten dollars to the church of the sacred bleeding heart of jesus
Located somewhere in los angeles, california
And next week theyd say my prayer on the radio
And all my dreams would come true
So I did, the next week, I got a prayer with a girl
Well, you know what kind of eyes she got

So if youre down on your luck
I know you all sympathize
Find a girl with far away eyes
And if youre downright disgusted
And life aint worth a dime
Get a girl with far away eyes

....although for a religious event ya can't beat.....

How Great Thou Art

Lord my God! When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the works thy hand hath made,
I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed;

Refrain:
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

When through the woods and forest glades I wander
and hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;
when I look down from lofty mountain grandeur,
and hear the brook, and feel he gentle breeze;

Refrain

And when I think that God his son not sparing,
Sent him to die - I scarce can take it in,
That on the cross my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin:

Refrain

When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
And take me home- what joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim, my God, how great thou art!

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!


Had this hymn at my wedding. Dittor my inlaws had it at theirs. And the two eldest kids had it at their nuptials...etc.

Ahhhhh...............

Everything is beautiful

And this. I love Wire.

Earl, have you got that 'The Roxy London WC12 (Jan - Apr 77) CD?

Wire tracks: Lowdown, 12XU. Brilliant.

I love Eddie and Hot Rods and was their friend on Myspace

Eddie and Hot Rods genuine great Band of the seventies would have made it if they were Yanks, better than Ramones or New York Dolls.


I also have to say while it is not my theme music "Hey Bulldog" is just a brilliant number. I'll be playing this at my funeral - which is depressing , but the song is great.

You can tell I have had some crap and unrewarding jobs from my choice of song.

Do anything you wanna do

I'm gonna break out of the city
Leave the people here behind
Searching for adventure
It's the kind of life to find
Tired of doing day jobs
With no thanks for what I do
I know I must be someone
Now I'm gonna find out who

Why don't you ask them what they expect from you ?
Why don't you tell them what you're gonna do
You get so lonely, maybe it's better that way
It ain't you only, you got something to say
Do anything you wanna do
Do anything you wanna do

I don't need no politicians to tell me things I shouldn't be
Neither no opticians to tell me what I oughta see
No-one tells you nothing even when you know they know
They tell you what you should be
They don't like to see you grow

Why don't you ask them what they expect from you ?
Why don't you tell them what you're gonna do
You get so lonely, maybe it's better that way
It ain't you only, you got something to say
Do anything you wanna do
Do anything you wanna do


I'm gonna break out of the city

Why don't you ask them what they expect from you ?
Why don't you tell them what you're gonna do

Do anything you wanna do
Do anything you wanna do

'Twas an anthem for many, Phil.

Indeed. That's a Lowdown.

I like listening to little birds singing.



Monkey Woods, Shake your head....let's go to bed.

Silly me!
Of course, the best songs ever are available for download at the jesus budda website in the audio section.

Download 'em all, mufflepluckers!

Motorhead 'Ace of Spades' also.

That's a great song.


Could I have a theme album? I already picked three.
