XTC - Jason and the Argonauts (Andy Partridge)
English Settlement - 1982

There may be no golden fleece,
But human riches I'll release

Oh, my head is spinning like the world and it's filled with beasts I've seen,
Let me put my bag down and I'll tell you it all right from the start,
Like the scarlet woman who would pick on the boys she thought were green,
And the two faced man who made a hobby of breaking his wife's heart.

Seems the more I travel,
From the foam to gravel,
As the nets unravel,
All exotic fish I find like Jason and the Argonauts

There may be no golden fleece,
But human riches I'll release

I was in a land where men force women to hide their facial features,
And here in the west it's just the same but they're using make-up veils.
I've seen acts of every shade of terrible crime from man-like creatures,
And I've had the breath of liars blowing me off course in my sails.

Seems the more I travel,
From the foam to gravel,
As the nets unravel,
All exotic fish I find like Jason and the Argonauts

There may be no golden fleece,
But human riches I'll release.

I have watched the manimals go by
Buying shoes, buying sweets, buying knives.
I have watched the manimals and cried
Buying time, buying ends to other peoples lives.

Jason and the Argonauts

There may be no golden fleece,
But human riches I'll release.

Jason and the Argonauts

There may be no golden fleece,
But human riches I'll release.

Well kids, My self imposed exile from the world of LJ turned into a 7 week exercise in living and working. I must say that the outside world was neither rewarding nor boring...Just like the web. I've met new people, actually dated and got drunk and high for the first time in 15 or so years. Felt bloody marvelous I must say and I can't wait to do it again with my co workers. I'm actually trying to date a co-worker... I know, I know... DON'T dip your pen in company "ink" but she's an ex callgirl/stripper and is tough as nails. I like her spirit and I think we are getting on swimmingly well as friends so far. I won't prolly fall in love with her, but she and I should get on like a house on fire and she's a good person to be around.

As for the job, I'm getting good at telling people there is NO WAY that they can get a refund unless they kiss my ass. Heh... I hope none of you folx call my bank asking for a refund. The PoPsie site is coming along pretty well and we are courting offers from a few different book publishers. If you folx are near a book store, check out the new book by Bruce Spizer featuring our Beatle Photos (the Beatles in America) that I edited and retouched... I feel like a mini celebrity !!! He had a big shindig in NYC at the hard rock with Dr. Joyce showing off the book.

Anyway, I'm done trying to only live in one world or the other, so it's back to more LJ bullshit and I'll keep you kidz posted on life in the great metropolis known as Las Vegas and my trials and tribulations... And if I ever want to disappear from here again, TALK ME OUT OF IT !!!

Your Friendly Neighborhood Musicchef

P.S. anyone know a good dentist in the Vegas area ? My bridge fell out a few weeks back and I can park a car where my front tooth used to be... GAH !
