about

One Saturday afternoon I was shopping with my wife and daughter. It was wonderful. So wonderful they took pity on me and said I could watch the football in a pub while they finished examining clothes in great detail. In that pub a random stranger asked me: “You know, it could all end next week?”. ”Yes”, I agreed, “It could all end next week”. “And you know”, he continued, ”You can’t take it with you?”. “No” I confirmed, “You can’t take it with you”. “So: you might as well buy me a drink then” he concluded with incontestable logic. So I did, but made a song out of the affair, inventing allegories for being about to kick the bucket (a wonderful phrase in itself) so that I could tell this tale. Of course, there is “the fat lady’s ready to sing” (and it’s not over till she does), “the ref is playing extra time” (and the game is not over till the end of that), Nelson’s asked for one last kiss (from Hardy, if you know your naval history, and Nelson died just after), but what is “Meg and Tom have finally met”? All will be revealed eventually in one of my blogs at duncanreidandthebigheads.com. Me cruel? Of course not.

lyrics

I’m pretty sure I’ll never forget what’s his name
The man who told me son life’s just one big game
And for all we know
The ref is playing extra time
For all we know the fat lady’s ready to sing
And all I know for sure
You’d better get them in

So what’s his name said Duncan let me ask you mate
Is this the final chorus or still the middle 8
For all we know Nelson’s asked for one last kiss
For all we know Meg and Tom have finally met
And all I know for sure
You’d better get them in

And as the curtain falls we’ll all be there singing “one more song, let’s have one more song”
But in the meantime as we wend our way let’s all be merry
