What an enigma Britain will seem to historians when they look back on the second half of the twentieth century. Here is a country that fought and won a noble war, dismantled a mighty empire in a generally benign and enlightened way, created a far-seeing welfare state - in short, did nearly everything right - and then spent the rest of the century looking back on itself as a chronic failure.
If you and a person have a disagreement, you must walk two miles in their shoes. Then, if you still disagree, they're two miles away and they've got no shoes.
I'm sorry for posting lyrics again, but this will be the last time. Plus I can't find this song on youtube.
:
Many have said I take after my mother,
for her '67 was not a good year.
Though often I make her annoyed like no other,
through thick and through thin she has always been near.
Sometimes in the cold now I catch myself smiling,
'bout some stupid joke or a christmas tree shining.
I stood there so small 'neath that glittering tower,
it's memory a beacon in my darkest hour.
She said to me "Martin, whatever you'll be,
there's no such thing as a meal thats for free.
If there's just one lesson the young ought to learn,
it's pay no deposit and get no return."
Me and my mother are very close, so it really warms my heart when I hear lyrics like this. Plus it's in the same class as poetry, easy.

I've been eatin' with a good friend who said
"A genie made me out of the earth's skin"
But in spite of her she is my birth kin
She spits me out in her surly blood rivers
All the people I'm lurkin'
Are dominions of the hot Turk dish
If the elephants be reaching for our purses
Then meet me after the world with the shivers
