As DU:GD-P draws to a close, and we begin to focus on the general elections (including the White House, both houses of Congress, and state and local contests), I think we have two options.
The first is expressed in the wonderful ending of the medley of songs on side 2 of the Beatles’ classic album "Abbey Road":
"Oh yeah, all right Are you going to be in my dreams Tonight?
"And in the end The love you take Is equal to the love you make."
The second option is found in the strange James Douglas Morrison song, in which several versions are found. There are a few variations in the lyrics, often depending upon how much Mr. Morrison had ingested prior to singing/recording the song. Here are the lyrics:
"This is the end Beautiful friend This is the end My only friend, the end
"Of our elaborate plans, the end Of everything that stands, the end No safety or surprise, the end I'll never look into your eyes...again
"Can you picture what will be So limitless and free Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand In a...desperate land
"Lost in a Roman...wilderness of pain And all the children are insane All the children are insane Waiting for the summer rain, yeah
"There's danger on the edge of town Ride the King's highway, baby Weird scenes inside the gold mine Ride the highway west, baby
"Ride the snake, ride the snake To the lake, the ancient lake, baby The snake is long, seven miles Ride the snake...he's old, and his skin is cold
"The west is the best The west is the best Get here, and we'll do the rest
"The blue bus is callin' us The blue bus is callin' us Driver, where you taken' us
"The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on He took a face from the ancient gallery And he walked on down the hall He went into the room where his sister lived, and...then he Paid a visit to his brother, and then he He walked on down the hall, and And he came to a door...and he looked inside Father, yes son, I want to kill you Mother...I want to...fuck you
"C'mon baby, take a chance with us C'mon baby, take a chance with us C'mon baby, take a chance with us And meet me at the back of the blue bus Doin' a blue rock On a blue bus Doin' a blue rock C'mon, yeah
"Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill
"This is the end Beautiful friend This is the end My only friend, the end
"It hurts to set you free But you'll never follow me The end of laughter and soft lies The end of nights we tried to die
"This is the end."
I suppose that we could try to combine the two. But since Saturday, GD-P seems to have more posts that are in the spirit of the Beatles.
What do you think?
