Worse Than This
« on: June 18, 2008, 09:26:51 am »
To the tune of Roxy Music's "More Than This" (and, FWIW, the second verse is entirely unchanged):

I could feel at the time
There was no way of knowing
Losing games in the night
Who can say why they're blowing
And stink like the wind
And hopefully learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning

Worse than this - is only Cincy
Worse than this - is just one team
Worse than this - is only Cincy

It was fun for a while
There was no way of knowing
Like dream in the night
Who can say where we're going
No care in the world
Maybe I'm learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning

Worse than this - is only Cincy
Worse than this - is just one team
Worse than this - is only Cincy
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

Way too true.

Finally, a song reference I know... Am I (further?) showing my musical ignorance by saying I prefer the 10,000 Maniacs version to Roxy Music's?

It's certainly less gay.

There's a first for everything. The only thing more gay than the 10,000 Maniacs is a signed photo of David Gest being inserted into Clay Aiken while Erasure plays in the background, NTTAWT.

...and covered by George Michael doing a tribute to Freddy Mercury.
