In the tradition of naming your band after something before, like the Stones and Muddy Water's Rolling Stone Blues and Pink Floyd and a couple of jazz/blues guys called Pink and Floyd.

Take my advice, don't listen to me.

I enjoyed that. I would have never guessed upon seeing this that Robin Williams was suffering from depression. RIP.

I'm inclined to like Peter Gabriel, he has such a godly name.
And he is much better looking than that toad faced Collins.

Young teen me liked this one, classic.

QuoteHey, I'm feeling so dirty, you're looking so clean
And all you can give is a spin in your washing machine
I fly off to Rome to my prima bella
She leaves me in the rain with telescopic umbrella

[Chorus]
Oh, the pain
Modern love can be a strain
Oh, the pain
Modern love can be a strain

[Verse 2]
I trusted my Venus was untouched in her shell
But the pearls in her oyster were tacky as hell
For Lady Godiva I came incognito
But her driver had stolen her red hot Magneto

[Chorus]
Oh, the pain
Modern love can be a strain
Oh, the pain
Modern love can be a strain

[Bridge]
I don't know why they leave me in the lurch
To carry on the search
It's driving me up the wall
Pity, when I have so much passion
Romance is out of fashion
Can't handle modern love at all
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Hey, I worship Diana by the light of the moon
When I pull out my pipe, she screams out of tune
In Paris my heart sinks when I see the Mona Lisa
She gives me the wink, then she shows me the freezer

[Chorus]
Oh, the pain
Modern love can be a strain
Oh, the pain
Modern love can be a strain

[Outro]
Oh, the pain
Oh, the pain
Oh, the pain
Oh, oh, the pain
Oh, the pain
Oh, the pain



Ye ye, it's still great but I wonder if he was taking the piss or channelling Doctor Smith
Take my advice, don't listen to me.

I admire his creativity. Plus, he has aged reasonably well.

i cannot play any musical instruments, except a harmonica, badly. i have a flute, but i'm not good at it and it doesn't speak to me as much as i'd like it to.

but the handpans are fascinating to me. simple, basic, and yet beautiful.

i have maybe ten years left to live, five only if i die at 69 like my father. these things are only 400 bucks for a cheap student instrument. i'm going to see what i can do

after i fix all the broken cars
