If you were a cleverly marketed entertainment package, what would be your theme song?
(i know puddinghead--i love them! when i was little, my big brother and i had to go to sleep immediately after this one ended--we weren't allowed to stay up to watch the show but we probably wouldn't have liked it anyway--i'll never ever forget that)
Time, Pink Floyd:
ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
you fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
waiting for someone or something to show you the way
tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
you are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
and then one day you find ten years have got behind you
no one told you when to run
you missed the starting gun
and you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
and racing around to come up behind you again
the sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
shorter of breath and one day closer to death
every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
hanging on in quiet desperation is the english way
the time has gone, the song is over
thought I'd something more to say ...
Hard to imagine how you would cleverly market that, though.
