Reptile Folk Should Stick Together

Oh God How Did This Get Here I Am Not Good With Computer

The gator and the croc they should be friends,
Oh, the gator and the croc they should be friends,
The gator’s snout is round you see,
The croc’s snout tapers to a ‘V’,
But that’s no reason why they can’t be friends!

The gator and the croc they should be friends,
Oh, the gator and the croc they should be friends,
The gator hides his lower teeth,
The croc’s poke up from underneath,
But that’s no reason why they can’t be friends!

The gator and the croc they should be friends,
Oh, the gator and the croc they should be friends,
The alligator’s grey and mean,
The croc is cruel and olive green,
But that’s no reason why they can’t be friends!

The gator and the croc they should be friends,
Oh, the gator and the croc they should be friends,
In common little they have got,
But gharials at least they’re not!
And that’s the reason why they should be friends!

Walking

The weather was nice yesterday and I needed some exercise so I decided to go for a walk.

My initial plan was to get the train to Success Hill and walk home along the river. Then I decided I didn’t have time for that, so I’d get the bus to Bindaring Park and walk along the river from there. Easy!

So that’s what I did – and staggered in half-dead three hours later having somehow not realised I was setting myself up for a trek of almost 9km.

Better than sitting around the house though I guess.

Two Worlds Apart, Two Worlds Together

Not going to talk about the electoral apocalypse just yet.

I’ve always vaguely known that the Sisters of Mercy/Terri Nunn song Under The Gun is a cover/reworking of a Billie Hughes song, but I only just looked it up. Holy guacamole! It’s so 80’s synth-ballad it could be from the Ladyhawke soundtrack!

I am – as always – astonished at the level of talent that allows Andrew Eldritch to turn what we have above into a masterpiece while simultaneously being a complete (although highly entertaining and often surprisingly justified) dick to everyone around him.
