Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs
Fuckin' up the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?
Tesla version of "Signs" by the Five Man Electrical Band
A lemon turned into an orange. One of the fruits got damaged when I moved the tree inside due to below freezing temperatures. It turned orange, smells like an orange, and tastes like a very sour orange instead of a lemon.
(sorry for the low quality photo, I'm a little shaky today) What does that mean? Is it a good sign, a bad omen, a miracle? Have I been fooled all along? I think I've just lost all grip I ever had on reality. Maybe it's withdrawal hallucinations. I think I need a fix, just one more... then, dear God of the Cute Kittens and Knowing My Limits, I'll quit. Just one more...

Hey. I know you weren't going here with this thread, but as I read your post, I thought to myself, "Wait a minute. I don't remember Five Man Electrical Band dropping f-bombs in that song." It actually took me a while afterwards to remember what the original lyrics were.
These thoughts recalled a discussion I had with the children this evening, after my 13 year-old cut loose with a couple of "friggins." I expressed that I never would have dreamed of using that kind of language in front of my parents. Heck was a big deal. Hell was even bigger. And I think I only heard my dad drop an f-bomb once. I've never heard it from my mom.
Before I noted the correct lyrics, though, I thought to google them and see what Tesla sang. Sure enough...f-bombs. Times change, I guess.
OK, you can have your thread back now.
*heavy sigh*
dh, sorry, but it's just been one of those f-bomb kind of days. That's why I picked Tesla instead of the other band. Tesla's version was recorded live, but they edited it for radio. I really appreciate your comments. Thanks.
