10032009: A Mess Of Numbers Indicates The Date? Plus The Kinks and peter gabriel

Well, it’s a new entry, at almost 02:30 hours!

Listening to a live peter gabriel show from

09071977! “Slowburn” was playing, as I submit

 the lyrics, as they tie in to what I’m feeling at

the moment. The song was off his 1^st album

  from 1977!

 Slowburn

We're character actors from the tower of Babel
Bewildered, burnt out hardly able
To sit astride the high wire cable
It's hard to balance, a little unstableThrough broken eyes and contact lenses
I watched you draw your future tenses
See kisses of flame blow out of your lips
You're back telling me your ApocalypseBut don't get me wrong, I'll be strong
When the slow burn sunset come along
You've gotta stay the night
I gotta think that you mightWe've tried a handful of bills and a headful of pills
We've tried making movies from a volume of stills
Words fell like hailstones, bouncing at our feet,
Covering our feelings with a frozen sheetA chance to move I take a shot
I get cold - you get hot
We look outside, lyin' awake
See birds breakin' surface on a silent lake
But don't get me wrong, I'll be strong
When I’m back on the Isle of AvalonDon't get me wrong, I'll be strong
When the slow burn sunset come along
You've gotta stay the night
I gotta think that you mightDon't try to make it easy, it'll cut you down to size
Darlin' we've got to trust in something
We're shooting down our skies
Shooting down, shooting down our skies
Shooting down our.......

 Props to peter! And I’ve moved on to a liveKinks show from

 12/18/87, and a Dave DaviesSong, “Living On A Thin Line”

too which I’vealso included the lyrics;

Living On A Thin Line Written by: Dave Davies

Lyrics:

All the stories have been told
Of kings and days of old,
But there's no England now.
All the wars that were won and lost
Somehow don't seem to matter very much anymore.
All the lies we were told,
All the lies of the people running round,
They're castles have burned.
Now I see change,
But inside we're the same as we ever were.

Living on a thin line,
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line,
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line,
Living this way, each day is a dream.
What am I, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line,
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?

Now another century nearly gone,
What are we gonna leave for the young?
What we couldn't do, what we wouldn't do,
It's a crime, but does it matter?
Does it matter much, does it matter much to you?
Does it ever really matter?
Yes, it really, really matters.

Living on a thin line,
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line,
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?

Now another leader says
Break their hearts and break some heads.
Is there nothing we can say or do?
Blame the future on the past,
Always lost in blood and guts.
And when they're gone, it's me and you.

Living on a thin line,
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line,
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line.

And they resonate with the times we’re living

in! At least to me . And I cling to songs and memories, tired but

true, black and blue, and hurtful to positive, within the same

 chords/verse. I give all I have to interpreting the song as it rolls

 out to me. Moments are captured in chord sequences, as they

 capture me, hold me, if only for a moment. We had a loss of

 power earlier today, for about 5 hours, and I realized that I am

 an addict for electricity, as I was so distraught, and now

 think how pitiful! I’m caught within the Siren’s song, as I admit

 my addiction to music and verse, and wish I was proficient at an

 instrument, as too many negative piano lessons whilst a child,

have turned me off to both supervision and practice! Being

 slapped because I couldn’t quite catch the melody, has burned an

 imprint upon my psyche! Why did I get a twisted individual who

 obviously hated kids?And we move on to the present. Hoping all

 is well in all corners of the world. And a further thought to the

Porcupine Tree song "Piano Lessons" as the lyrics and melody

are so true to my life!
