Caedmon's Lyrics  

Posted by BT

Last night in a church van the clock said 11:11, and a friend tapped it and made a wish. Hilarious. It reminded me of one of my favorite Caedmon's lyrics, and it got me to thinking about all of my other favorite Caedmon's lyrics. Here's a brief list:

It seems I've misplaced my faith, 'cause it's 11:12, and still nothin's changed.

The only problem I have with these mysteries is they're so mysterious.

I'm so scared of being alone that I forgot what house I live in.

Give me purity and give me continence...But, oh no, not yet.

All things considered, we're both certifiably insane.

You are no more than a piece of glass.

I get turned around, and I mistake my happiness for blessing.

It's like I ripped my arm right off and left it, and now I guess it wasn't mine at all.

You can read all about it, about boy-meets-girl, and then he screws the whole thing up, just like always.

When everything looks pretty, it's easy to think you've found the way, but it's all just a big masquerade.

For better or for worse, we both know I'm the wrong man for the job.

I've done the work of Sisyphus, thinking that I could get over this hill.

I may never find the sleep I've lost all feeling in my hands and feet may touch the ground but my mind's somewhere north of here.

Did you know that when Mom and Dad got their first digital clock, Dad said to Mom when it turned 11:11, "Uh-oh, it's broken. We'll have to take it back."

And she agreed. :-)

Love the lyrics. When are you going to send me pics of the B? Or better yet, just slap a stamp on the B and send him this way!

Hmmm...wonder what it would cost to mail him. :)

We'll try to get the most recent pictures onto Snapfish soon.

Can't wait to see you guys in a couple months (did I hear there was a remote chance you were coming for Thanksgiving?).

Love you, Sis...

I don't know if we're going to make it for Thanksgiving. However, we'll be there for at LEAST a week at Christmas - B has so much vacation, and it doesn't carry over into the new year!

Go check my blog if you want to laugh yourself silly!

I think the Baby B would fit into a flat rate box...and it's only like $8. :-D I'll pay. :-P

Love you too! DORKFACE!

reading these lyrics at face value is totally different than knowing the songs as a whole. but definitely a good different. you get a different perspective. makes you think more.
