this morning's music

[iridium]

this morning i put on music, which i don't do very often anymore. Lyle Lovett, the album Pontiac. most of the songs on that album are good, but more than a little twisted. the first one, though, is strange and sweet and definitely my favorite:

If I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat


If I were Roy Rogers
I'd sure enough be single
I couldn't bring myself to marrying old Dale
It'd just be me and Trigger
We'd go riding through them movies
Then we'd buy a boat and on the sea we'd sail

And if I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat

The mystery masked man was smart
He got himself a Tonto
'cause Tonto did the dirty work for free
But Tonto he was smarter
And one day said kemosabe
Kiss my ass I bought a boat
I'm going out to sea

And if I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat

And if I were like lightning
I wouldn't need no sneakers
I'd come and go wherever i would please
And I'd scare 'em by the shade tree
And I'd scare 'em by the light pole
But I would not scare my pony on my boat out on the sea

And if I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat...

I need to get my CDs over here and unpacked. They're in a box, ready to go. Except... have you ever tried moving a box of 500 CDs?

heh.
use smaller boxes? :)

Just got all the answers, dontcha?!!!?!

Actually, that's kinda the rather sad plan. It's just a big hassle to put them in one box, much less 7. WHen I had fewer, I could just tape them all into the cd rack. ::smile::
