No One is to Blame...

So, for about the last day or so this song has been running through my head. Don't think I heard it recently...it just came bubbling up out of the dim recesses of the past and started circling around my brain...like the pheonix rising from the ashes of its death...or maybe more like the stench rising from a cowpie in which you have just stepped...yes, I think that is more like it. In any case, I thought I would borrow a page from Ryan's playbook and post the lyrics. Maybe there is some kind of message in there for me (kinda hope it isn't "Aspirations in the clouds but your hopes go down the drain")...maybe I am having some kind of flashback to the 80's (hey...they weren't THAT bad)...but hopefully publishing this here will purge it from my brain and restore my normal cranial soundtrack.


"No One is to Blame" - Howard Jones

You can look at the menu but you just cant eat
You can feel the cushions but you cant have a seat
You can dip your foot in the pool but you cant have a swim
You can feel the punishment but you cant commit the sin
And you want her and she wants you
We want everyone
And you want her and she wants you
No one, no one, no one ever is to blame
You can build a mansion but you just cant live in it
Youre the fastest runner but youre not allowed to win
Some break the rules
And live to count the cost
The insecurity is the thing that wont get lost
And you want her and she wants you
We want everyone
And you want her and she wants you
No one, no one, no one ever is to blame
You can see the summit but you cant reach it
Its the last piece of the puzzle but you just cant make it fit
Doctor says youre cured but you still feel the pain
Aspirations in the clouds but your hopes go down the drain
And you want her and she wants you
We want everyone
And you want her and she wants you
No one, no one, no one ever is to blame
No one ever is to blame
No one ever is to blame

I think, given your previous car stories about pieces falling off...the lyric most applicable here would be "You can feel the cushions but you cant have a seat" ;-)
Glad to see you posting again!
