Yeah, I was trying to be funny, I guess. My sig is from the Leonard Cohen song "Joan of Arc"

Never has someone being burned at the stake been so beautifully romanticized. The imagery of fire as her lover.....the guy is a poet and a genius.

and HooN_LovE, Change is one of my favorite songs of all-time if only for the cynical resolution of this line...

but I know we all can't live forever
so I'll write my words on the face of today.
Then they'll paint it.

but I live this line

"Oh, as I fade away.
They'll all look at me and say
"Hey look at him. I'll never live that way."
and it's ok.
They're just afraid of change."

I have several live recordings of that song and true to it's name, almost every version has slightly different lyrics. It will always be one of my favorite BM songs....

along with Tones of Home, No
Rain, Vernie, and Toes Across The Floor.
