"There's no place in this world where I'll belong when I'm gone
And I won't know the right from the wrong when I'm gone
And you won't find me singin' on this song when I'm gone

(4,515 posts)3. I just sang this song to my father yesterday
It just suddenly jumped into my head and out of my mouth.
I've also had this line from the Clash's "White Man in Hammersmith Palais" in my head for days now:
"If Adolph Hitler flew in today
They'd send a limousine anyway."
