Thread Name: What are you, really?
Subject: RE: What are you, really?
There's only one thing that I know how to do well
And I've often been told that you only can do
What you know how to do well
And that's be you, be what you're like,
Be like yourself

They Might Be Giants-"Whistling in the Dark."

That being said, at the end of the day, for all intents and purposes, to wit:

I am a rock.
I am an island.
I am a bold deciever.
I am a jolly shanty boy, as you shall soon discover

I am a bard of no regard.
I am me mother's darling.
I am a joker, a smoker, a midnight toker.
I am slain by a cruel fair maid.

I am Ned of the Hill.
I am but a spirit a-shining in blood.
I am a weaver, a Calton weaver, I am a brash and roving blade.
I am the bravest tinker that lives beneath the sun.

I am a little beggarman.
I am stretched on your grave.
I am a bold shoemaker from Belfast town I came.
I am a pore cowboy, I've got no home.

I am in sympathy with the miners.
I am a blind fiddler and far from my home.
I am king of the seas brave boys.
I am tired , I am weak, I am lost.

I am a young lover and sorely oppressed.
I am a man of constant sorrow.
I am a jolly driver of the Salt Lake City line.
I am a sad and lonely boy.

I am a driver on a western highway.
I am a poor boy too, I have no gift to bring.
I am one of many who expects a watery grave.
I am captain here and I will not fail.


Cheers, Bardford. Maybe I should be posting to the 'Wasting Time at Work' thread...
