Try A Little Love Instead

When the endless parade of insanity
Starts to eat away at your soul

When all the bad news makes you feel
You're staring down a deep dark hole
When the atmosphere is crowded
With the restless spirits of the dead
Then maybe you will find it’s time

To try a little love instead

When your brain is tired of thinking
And your heart feels very small
When the world that you are living in
Doesn't feel like any world at all
When you're too close to believing
All the dark thoughts in your head
Then maybe you will find it’s time

To try a little love instead

There are so many roads to happiness
So much pain that needs to be shed
And all you have to do is choose

To try a little love instead
No darkness lasts forever
No night more than twelve hours long
And the fever that’s consuming you
Will only make you strong
Because you know life is worth living
And you're better than all you dread {
If only you will find the time
To try a little love instead

My Love For Fridays Goes Back A Long Way

"Crimson flames tied through my ears · Rollin’ high and mighty traps · Pounced with fire on flaming roads · Using ideas as my maps · “We’ll meet on edges, soon,” said I · Proud ‘neath heated brow · Ah, but I was so much older then · I’m younger than that now ·                     ...

The Love of Something

10CC is the first band whose records I purchased back in the day when cassettes were the primary form of bootleg and they wrote what I still consider to be one of the finest love songs in "I'm not in Love" - because it continues to say something about love which any sentient bein ...

A Love Story (Love in the Age of Writing, Publishing and Grammarian Lust)

This won’t be sentimental as such. I’ve read enough sentiment to realize love stories are like love songs. They have a beginning and an end. Paul McCartney doesn’t like them to have an end, but he’s willing to admit his are “silly.” That’s probably why John Lennon said Paul “ ...

I Love Fridays. And What’s Not To Love

I have always loved Fridays. · Maybe it’s because I always believed in the 4-day work week. Or maybe it's just a pattern you drift into when you more or less have control of your work schedule. · When I worked in the agency business, the tribe of creative people I belonged to ...
