    Me too they're my favourite band! I can't wait for their new album and their next tour (it's disgraceful I haven't seen them live yet).

    You go believin' in your Lancelot
    Well it's all in vain
    And you're chasin' picket fences,
    There's always hell to pay
    I met many a girl in here
    With the same story line
    Them boys on those white horses
    Don't know how to ride

    Beans, beans, the magical fruit
    The more you eat, the more you toot
    The more you toot, the better you feel
    So we have beans at every meal!

    or

    Beans, beans, they're good for your heart
    The more you eat them, the more you fart
    The more you fart, the happier/better you feel
    So let's eat beans with every meal!

    or

    Beans, beans, they're good for your heart
    The more you eat them, the more you fart
    The more you fart, the more you eat
    The more you sit on the toilet seat!

    My thirsty wanted whisky; my hungry needed beans,
    But it'd been of month of paydays since I'd heard that eagle scream.
    So with a stomach full of empty and a pocket full of dreams,
    I left my pride and stepped inside a bar.

    I can imagine. I first fell in love with them watching them performing at Glasto in 2010, I remember thinking that I don't think I've ever seen a more captivating live performance (and that was just on the TV!). I imagine the atmosphere at their gigs to be incredible.

    Whenever she's feeling empty
    Whenever she's feeling insecure
    Whenever her face is frozen
    Unable to fake it anymore
    Her shadow is always with her
    Her shadow will always keep her small
    So frightened that he wont love her
    She builds up a wall

    Blue turn to red
    There's quiet in the streets now
    But it's screaming in your head

    I ain't a fool
    But I've got my doubts
    Say it doesn't hurt
    It doesn't matter anyhow, anyhow...

    Hey we're just bleeding for nothing
    It's hard to breathe when you're standing on your own
    We'll kill ourselves to find freedom
    You'll kill yourself to find anything at all

    Augustana - Hey Now
  • Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of '99. Wear sunscreen.
    If I could offer you one tip for the future, sunscreen
    would be it. The
    long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by
    scientists whereas the
    rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my
    own meandering
    experience... I will dispense this advice now

    Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh,
    nevermind, you will not
    understand the power and beauty of your youth until
    they've faded. But trust
    me, in 20 years you'll look back at photos of yourself
    and recall in a way
    you can't grasp now, how much possibility lay before
    you and how fabulous
    you really looked. You are NOT as fat as you imagine.

    Don't worry about the future; or worry, but know that
    worrying is as
    effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by
    chewing bubblegum. The
    real troubles in life are apt to be things that never
    crossed your worried
    mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle
    Tuesday

    Do one thing everyday that scares you.

    Sing.

    Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't
    put up with people who
    are reckless with yours.

    Floss.

    Don't waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you're
    ahead, sometimes you're
    behind. The race is long, and in the end, it's only with
    yourself.

    Remember compliments you receive. Forget the
    insults. If you succeed in doing
    this, tell me how.

    Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank
    statements.

    Stretch.

    Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do
    with your life.
    The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22
    what they wanted to do
    with their lives; some of the most interesting 40 year
    olds I know still
    don't.

    Get plenty of calcium.

    Be kind to your knees, you'll miss them when they're
    gone.

    Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll
    have children, maybe you
    won't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40. Maybe you'll dance
    the funky chicken on
    your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do,
    don't congratulate
    yourself too much or berate yourself either - your
    choices are half chance,
    so are everybody else's.

    Enjoy your body, use it every way you can... don't be
    afraid of it, or what
    other people think of it... it's the greatest instrument
    you'll ever own.

    Dance... even if you have nowhere to do it but in
    your own living room.

    Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.

    Do NOT read beauty magazines they will only make
    you feel UGLY.

    CHORUS
    Brother and sister together we'll make it through.
    Someday your spirit will take you and guide you there.
    I know you've been hurting, but I've been waiting to be there for you.
    And I'll be there just helping you out whenever I can.

    Get to know your parents, you never know when they
    might be gone for good.
    Be nice to your siblings; they're your best link to your
    past and the
    people most likely to stick with you in the future

    Understand that friends come and go, but for the
    precious few you should
    hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography
    and lifestyle because the
    older you get, the more you need the people you knew
    when you were young.

    Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes
    you hard. Live in
    Northern California once, but leave before it makes
    you soft.

    Travel.

    Accept certain inalienable truths. Prices will rise,
    Politicians will
    philander, you too will get old. And when you do, you'll
    fantasize that when
    you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians
    were noble, and children
    respected their elders.

    Respect your elders.

    Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe
    you have a trust fund,
    maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse; but you never
    know when either one might
    run out.

    Don't mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're
    40, it will look 85.

    Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with
    those who supply it.
    Advice is a form of nostalgia; dispensing it is a way of
    fishing the past
    from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly
    parts, and
    recycling it for more than it's worth.

    But trust me on the sunscreen.

    'cause real love and real life
    doesn't have to be
    Perfect
    Maybe every little piece of the puzzle
    doesn't always fit
    Perfectly
    Love can be rough around the edges
    tattered at the seams
    Honey if it's good enough
    for you
    it's good enough for me

    Based on some of the drama I witness on this site, this is a lesson several women here has yet to learn

    Now Honey, you can't blame her
    For what her mama gave her
    It ain't right to hate her
    For workin' that money-maker

    You should've said no, you should've gone home
    You should've thought twice before you let it all go
    You should've know that word, bout what you did with her
    Would get back to me...
    And I should've been there, in the back of your mind
    I shouldn't be asking myself why
    You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet...
    You should've said no, baby and you might still have me

    You go believin' in your Lancelot
    Well it's all in vain
    And you're chasin' picket fences,
    There's always hell to pay
    I met many a girl in here
    With the same story line
    Them boys on those white horses
    Don't know how to ride

    Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
    Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
    That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
    Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
