Probably none of you except maybe our US colleagues have heard of Jimmy Buffet.?
I used to rule my world from a payphone
Ship out on the sea
But now times are rough
Oh, I got too much stuff,
I can’t explain the likes of me.
But there’s this one particular harbour
So far and yet so near
Where I see the days as they fade away
Finally disappear.
But then I think about the good times
Down in the Caribbean sunshine
In ……….. fun we had
It's just I was playing some in the boat today on my 'day off' and whilst I was working this track came up -- We were in a little harbour - Marthon Harbour - in Biscayne Bay on the millenium -- its actually a tiny bay for 2 or 3 boats in a nature reserve. Nothing there. Monique and I celebrated the entry into 2000 three times - one for the UK, one for La France and one for the US of A... And we were happy.. nothing special - just at ease with ourselves and contented... to be in a tiny bay with a couple of other boats - listening to a transitor world radio and banging a spoon on a saucepan to welcome in a new year.......... And it can never never ever be like that again and I am so sad.
Good artist Jimmy Buffet - in touch with lots of real things
