Dire Straits - Romeo And Juliet

Dire Straits - Romeo And Juliet
Artist: Dire Straits
Songwriters: Mark Knopfler

A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
Finds a streetlight steps out of the shade
Says something like "You and me babe, how about it?"

Juliet says, "Hey, it's Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack"
He's underneath the window she's singing, "Hey la my boyfriend's back
You shouldn't come around here singing up at people like that"
Anyway what you gonna do about it?

Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start
And I bet that you exploded into my heart
And I forget I forget the movie song
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong?
Juliet

Come up on different streets, they both were streets of shame
Both dirty, both mean, yes and the dream was just the same
And I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real
How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?

When you can fall for chains of silver
You can fall for chains of gold
You can fall for pretty strangers
And the promises they hold

You promised me everything
You promised me thick and thin, yeah
Now you just say
"Oh Romeo, yeah, you know I used to have a scene with him"

Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
You said, I love you like the stars above, I'll love you till I die
There's a place for us you know the movie song
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong?
Juliet

I can't do the talk, like the talk on the TV
And I can't do a love song, like the way it's meant to be
I can't do everything, but I'll do anything for you
I can't do anything except be in love with you

All I do is miss you and the way we used to be
All I do is keep the beat and the bad company
Now all I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
Juliet, I'd do the stars with you any time

Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
You said, I love you like the stars above, I'll love you till I die
There's a place for us you know the movie song
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong?
Juliet

A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
Finds a convenient streetlight, steps out of the shade
Says something like, "You and me babe, how about it?"

You and me babe, how about it?

Your eyes are almost dead
Can't get out of bed and you can't sleep
You're sittin' down to dress
And you're a mess, you look in the mirror

You look in your eyes
Say, you look in your eyes

Everybody goes
Leavin' those who fall behind
Everybody goes as far as they can
They don't just care

They stood on the stairs
Laughin' at your airs

You're almost dead
She said, "Don't be afraid"
You're almost dead
You're on your own, don't be afraid

You look in your eyes
Say, you look in your eyes

Everybody goes
Leavin' those who fall behind
Everybody goes as far as they can
They don't just care

They stood on the stairs
Laughin' at your airs

You're a wasted face
You're a sad-eyed lie
You're a holocaust

If there’s any moisture with that Friday night one, we could be in for SNOW…some parts of Missouri and Illinois ARE expecting snow…  ☺
They shouldn’t call it spring, they should call it SWING…Think Summer beginning of the week and snow in time for the weekend…

reports say...

A new report states that there is now more capital being spent on
breast implants and male enhancers than on Alzheimer's
research, meaning that we'll soon see a growing elderly
population with perky boobs and erections and absolutely
no idea what to do with them…

It was announced today that Viagra will now
be available in liquid form for use as a mixer,
so it will soon be possible for a man to literally
pour himself a stiff one. Obviously the product
can't be labeled a soft drink, but it'll bring
new meaning to cocktails and highballs, so
the new concoction will be marketed as –

Study: Cat Parasite Affects Human Culture by Ker Than of Live Science Date: 03 August 2006 Time: 11:47 AM ET

Study: Cat Parasite Affects Human Culture

A parasitic microbe commonly found in cats might have helped shape entire human cultures by manipulating the personalities of infected individuals, according to a new study.

Infection by a Toxoplasma gondii could make some individuals more prone to some forms of neuroticism and could lead to differences among cultures if enough people are infected, says Kevin Lafferty, a U.S. Geological Survey scientist at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

In a survey of different countries, Lafferty found that people living in those with higher rates of T. gondii infection scored higher on average for neuroticism, defined as an emotional or mental disorder characterized by high levels of anxiety, insecurity or depression.

His finding is detailed in the Aug. 2 issue of the journal for Proceedings of the Royal Society, Biology.

Manipulating behavior --

T. gondii infects both wild and domestic cats, but it is carried by many warm-blooded mammals. One recent study showed that the parasite makes normally cautious rats outgoing and more prone to engage in reckless behavior, such as hanging around areas frequently marked by cat urine, making the rats easy targets.

Scientists estimate that the parasite has infected about 3 billion people, or about half of the human population. Studies by researchers in the Czech Republic have suggested T. gondii might have subtle but long-term effects on its human hosts. The parasite is thought to have different, and often opposite effects in men versus women, but both genders appear to develop a form of neuroticism called "guilt proneness."

Other studies have also found links between the parasite and schizophrenia. T. gondii infection is known to damage astrocytes, support cells in the brain that are also affected during schizophrenia. Pregnant women with high levels of antibodies to the parasite are also more likely to give birth to children who will develop the disorder.

In light of such studies, Lafferty wondered whether high rates of T. gondii infection in a culture could shift the average personality of its individuals.

"In populations where this parasite is very common, mass personality modification could result in cultural change," Lafferty said.

The distribution of T. gondii could explain differences in cultural aspects that relate to ego, money, material possessions, work and rules, Lafferty added. In some countries, infections by the cat parasite are very rare, while in others nearly all adults are infected.

Adding to cultural diversity --

To test his hypothesis, Lafferty looked at published data on cultural dimensions and average personalities for different countries. The countries examined also kept records of the prevalence of T. gondii antibodies in women of childbearing age. Countries with high prevalence of T. gondii infection also had higher average neuroticism scores.

"There could be a lot more to this story," Lafferty said. "Different responses to the parasite by men and women could lead to many additional cultural effects that are, as yet, difficult to analyze."

Lafferty thinks that climate could be an important factor in determining which human populations are infected by T. gondii. The parasite's eggs can survive longer in humid, low-altitude regions, especially at mid latitudes that have infrequent freezing and thawing.

Other factors could also influence infection rates, including how a culture's attitudes about having cats as pets and the hygiene practices of its people.

Despite its association with neuroticism, Lafferty doesn't think all of the cat parasite's effects on human culture are bad.

"After all, they add to our cultural diversity," he said.

"Man is a Religious Animal. He is the only Religious Animal. He is the only animal that has the True Religion -- several of them.  He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and cuts his throat if his theology isn't straight.  He has made a graveyard of the globe in trying his honest best to smooth his brother's path to happiness and heaven"

Unhappy Birthday

Smiths — Unhappy Birthday

Songwriters: MORRISSEY, STEVEN / MARR, JOHNNY

I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday

I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday

'Cause you're evil

And you lie

And if you should die

I may feel slightly sad

(But I won't cry)

Loved and lost

And some may say

When usually it's Nothing

Surely you're happy

It should be this way ?

I say "No, I'm gonna kill my dog"

And : "May the lines sag, may the lines sag heavy and deep tonight"

I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday

I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday

'Cause you're evil

And you lie

And if you should die

I may feel slightly sad

(But I won't cry)

Loved and lost

And some may say

When usually it's Nothing

Surely you're happy

It should be this way ?

I said "No"

And then I shot myself

So, drink, drink, drink

And be I'll tonight

From the one you left behind

From the one you left behind

From the one you left behind

From the one you left behind

Behind

Behind

Behind

Behind

Behind

Behind

Oh, unhappy birthday

Behind
