"...Singing My Life With His Words..."

[waitingman]

For those of you who are sick to death of me posting Leonard Cohen lyrics & are wondering if I listen to anything other than him (or Pink Floyd when I'm learning guitar licks!!)... here's another song that has resonated with me today/tonight:

"Some Other Sucker's Parade" ~ Del Amitri

I must've had a million damn unlucky days
But there ain't no cloud that a bottle can't chase away
I've done my deal of living, ran from place to place
But when the roof comes in I don't wanna take it straight

They say with faith any soul can make it
But hell, why should I wait
'Til the clouds go rain on some other sucker's parade

I've had my share of heartaches, letdowns and tricks
But the everyday blues is the one thing I can't fix
I've heard those holy brethren muttering my name
But it ain't no sin to drink when you're suffering

Patience, they say, is a saintly virtue
But hell, why should I wait
'Til the clouds go rain on some other sucker's parade

When every heavy sky just empties on your fate
Sometimes keeping dry is something to celebrate

So if the road of sin is the one I'm taking
I ain't gonna stray
'Til the clouds go rain on some other sucker's parade

Take that Leonard!!
