The Sailor's Soliloquy

'Go to hell,' screams the sailor
As he smashes up the classroom
Thrusting his fist out at the people
Who initiated the baby boom

'So, who's mad,' said he, 'Not me
I just don't need this - pseudo kindness
From 'normals' with feather hats and braces
Oblivious to their own inner blindness

If you're not mad when you come in
You certainly will be when you get out
At least that's what they've always said
What a ludicrous rumour to put about.'

Now, the sailor, he is walking down the halls
Selecting the identity he will assume today
Psychological jargon bouncing off the walls
Electro-convulsive therapy - he is on his way.

(1990)

Bryan Adams - This Is Where I Belong

Bryan Adams - This Is Where I Belong

I hear the wind across the plain
A sound so strong - that calls my name
It's wild like the river - it's warm like the sun
Ya it's here - this is where I belong
Under the starry skies - where eagles have flown
This place is paradise - it's the place I call home
The moon on the mountains
The whisper through the trees
The waves on the water
Let nothing come between this and me
Cuz everything I want - is everything that's here
And when when we're all together - there's nothing to fear
And wherever I wander - the one thing I've learned
It's to here - I will always....always return

Courtesy of these people.
