JustDan Posted July 4, 2019 "We’ve got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can’t just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it’s going to get on by itself. You’ve got to keep watering it. You’ve got to really look after it and nurture it". 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustDan Posted July 5, 2019 "I'm done being a mop-top. We gave of ourselves for ten years. If you feel like being nostalgic you've got all the records. Put them on any time you want and get nostalgic. We've grown up. We're getting on with our lives. Get on with yours." 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustDan Posted July 7, 2019 “When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. “ 4 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tom-Joad Posted July 30, 2019 As soon as you're born they make you feel small By giving you no time instead of it all 'Til the pain is so big you feel nothing at all A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be They hurt you at home and they hit you at school They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool 'Til you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years Then they expect you to pick a career When you can't really function you're so full of fear A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV And you think you're so clever and classless and free But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be There's room at the top they are telling you still But first you must learn how to smile as you kill If you want to be like the folks on the hill A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be If you want to be a hero, well, just follow me If you want to be a hero, well, just follow me 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-Sussudio- Posted July 30, 2019 Some wonderful quotes but I've always wondered if the one about telling the teachers they don't understand life is true? It's just always sounded...I dunno...I just don't buy that he said it for some reason. Happy to be proven wrong. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got it off a Beatles-related website, but I'll do some digging. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Got millions of things floating around my head Dan, but I did not want to intrude in your thread, so here goes : - He's a real nowhere man Sitting in his nowhere land Making all his nowhere plans for nobody Doesn't have a point of view Knows not where he's going to Isn't he a bit like you and me? Nowhere Man, please listen You don't know what you're missing Nowhere Man, the world is at your command He's as blind as he can be Just sees what he wants to see Nowhere Man can you see me at all? Nowhere Man, don't worry Take your time, don't hurry Leave it all till somebody else lends you a hand Doesn't have a point of view Knows not where he's going to Isn't he a bit like you and me? Nowhere Man, please listen You don't know what you're missing Nowhere Man, the world is at your command He's a real Nowhere Man Sitting in his nowhere land Making all his nowhere plans for nobody Making all his nowhere plans for nobody Making all his nowhere plans for nobody And unlike many people I also liked the version Randy Travis did at the tribite in Liverpool in 1990, great concert. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
