DesertRat -> Self Indulgence: A little bit about me. (6/21/2006 10:10:55 AM)

It's my 55th birthday. This song is about me. I was 17 when I first heard it. I didn't mean to live it. Just happened that way. Weird. The song is by Procol Harum, from the album A Salty Dog.

Pilgrims Progress
(fisher / reid)

I sat me down to write a simple story
Which maybe in the end became a song
In trying to find the words which might begin it
I found these were the thoughts I brought along

At first I took my weight to be an anchor
I gathered up my fears to ride me round
But then I clearly saw my own delusion
And found my struggles further brought me down

In starting out I thought to go exploring
And set my foot upon the nearest throne
In vain I looked to find the promised turning
But only saw how far I was from home

In searching I forsook the paths of learning
And sought instead to find some pirate’s gold
In fighting I did hurt those dearest to me
And still no hidden truths could I unfold

I sat me down to write a simple story
Which maybe in the end became a song
The words have all been writ by one before me
We’re taking turns in trying to pass them on
Oh, we’re taking turns in trying to pass them on


I just wanted to share this today. Thanks, all.
Bob

Well ... you didn't ask for positive comments, but your going to get one anyway.[;)]
 
You look GREAT and don't look close to fifty-five to me.
 
There is nothing sexier then a mature man that keeps himself in really good shape.

Theme song? Gawd, I hope not. Well, actually it does speak to the course of my life, so in that sense it is that. Still, my real theme songs...I have two: My Generation and Jumpin' Jack Flash. In both cases, only the orginally released studio version will do.

Thanks to all who have appeared to wish me well. And I do mean all.

Bob
