Post-holiday blues
Exhausted.
Mind spinning, body aching.
Wishing I still over there.
I am well aware that life is what we make of it. We have the ability, indeed the choice, to make the best out of any situation. But after having witnessed parts of the world whose history and legend far exceed anything I've ever experienced... after being surrounded by genuinely kind, friendly folk who value simplicity as a way of life and know the true substance of it... after feeling the energy that a century-old structure holds, it is difficult to come back to the mundane existence I've known my entire life.
Suffice to say that I now know just how much more this world has to offer. I just hope these memories don't fade so fast as to prevent me from making a concerted effort to get out to these places more often... or perhaps even to move to a part of the world I know would offer me greater inspiration and motivation.
I am sad that my trip to Europe has come to an end and that I'm now back to the daily grind of everyday life back in the States. But I'll try to make the best of it while holding these memories close to my heart. I will get around to posting pictures eventually (work and various social activities will keep me quite busy for some time to come). But believe me... these are things you have to see for yourself if you haven't already. It is absolutely, positively necessary. There is no substitute for experience.
Some people sing about Deutsche girls
and girls from California
they might be alright for a night alright
but don't trust them I warn you
I've been to the east and I've been out west
and I've been the world around
but I ain't seen none come anywhere near
the girls from London town
Give me a London girl every time
I've got to find one
I've made up my mind
Give me a London girl every time
I want a London girl
Marry a girl from London town
you know you can trust her
she'll darn your socks, and wash and mend
you're trousers if ya bust 'em, yes
they're all good cooks
and they got good looks
and they wont lead you a dance
said, I gotta find a London girl
if I get a half a chance
Oh, give me a London girl every time
I've got to find one
I've made up my mind
Give me a London girl every time
I want a London girl
London girls are the best in the world
there ain't no doubt about it
if ya can't find a girl from London town
you're better off a-doin' without it
they don't create when you come home late
and you're crawlin' up the passage floor
and they wont muck about, yes
when you've gone out with the geezer
from the house next door
Oh, give me a London girl every time
I've got to find one
I've made up my mind, I said
honey, give me a london girl, babe
every little time
your legs turn to jelly
and I got a little smelly
but I know it's just what I want
'cause I need a London girl
oh, every time
they've always got a pound
to buy their round
when it's their turn at the bar
Mind spinning, body aching.
