FRIDAY RANDOM TEN

Friday! The Opening Shot of the weekend: Glorious Friday!

Elder Daughter arrives this afternoon, in town to deliver a talk at the Southern Center for International Studies. And sometime this evening, the Mistress of Sarcasm should show up. It will be a Full House.

Tonight, we’ll catch Lily Tomlin at the Ferst Center for the Arts over at Georgia Tech. Maybe I will get a chance to ask her if she regrets nailing John Travolta back when he was a snivelly kid.

Enough of that. It’s time to check out the randomly-selected musical offerings of the Little White Choon-Box. What’s playing today?

2. Champagne Supernova - Ben Folds Five

   Some summers in the evening
   After six or so
   I walk on down the hill
   And maybe buy a beer
   I think about my friends
   Sometimes I wish
   They lived out here
   But they wouldn’t
   Dig this town
   No they wouldn’t
   Dig this town
   
   [Chorus]
   Try not to think about it
   Alice Childress
   Try not to think about it any more
   Try not to think about it
   Alice Childress
   Any more
   No not any more
   No
   
   Alice the world
   Is full of ugly things
   That you can’t change
   Pretend it’s not that way
   That’s my idea of faith
   You can blow it off
   And say there’s good
   In nearly everyone
   Just give them all a chance
   Give them all a chance
   
   Chorus
   
   No it didn’t work out
   No it didn’t work out
   The way we thought it would
   No it didn’t work out
   An arranged marriage
   Is not so good
   
   Thank God it’s you
   You know your timing is
   Impeccable
   I’m not fooling you
   I don’t know what to do
   Some dude just knocked me cold
   And left me on the sidewalk
   Took everything I had
   Everything I had
   
   Try not to think about it
   Alice Childress
   Try not to think about it any more
   It’s getting light where you are
   Alice Childress
   Any more, no not any more
   Any more, no not any more
