The Doors - The End

Watching the Parliamentary Brexit debate and this started running through my mind , don't know why but I think my subconscious is either reminding me what a great song it is or that there's trouble ahead.



Our politicians are brainless , gutless reptiles.

“The blue bus is calling us, driver where you taking us”

Is that an EU blue bus or a prison bus?

A bunch of stoned rambling.

Still a beautiful song though.

Or the Tory Blue bus ?

Outstanding song by an amazing band.

It is indeed the end of something, just what we don't know yet....and we certainly don't know what awaits us afterwards.

Appropriate i think.


You don't have to take this crap
You don't have to sit back and relax
You can actually try changing it
I know we've always been taught to rely

Upon those in authority
But you never know until you try
How things just might be
If we came together so strongly

Are you gonna try to make this work
Or spend your days down in the dirt
You see things can change
Yes and walls can come tumbling down

Governments crack and systems fall
'Cause unity is powerful
Lights go out, walls come tumbling down
Yes they do, yes they do, yes they do, yes they do, hey)

The competition is a color TV
We're on still pause with the video machine
That keep you slave to the H.P.

Until the unity is threatened by
Those who have and who have not
Those who are with and those who are without
And dangle jobs like a donkey's carrot
Until you don't know where you are

Are you gonna get to realize
The class war's real and not mythologized
And like Jericho, you see walls can come tumbling down

Governments crack and systems fall
'Cause unity is powerful
Lights go out, walls come tumbling
(Down) You'll be to week to fight it
(Down) oh unless we're united
(Down) oh will you deny it?
Ooh

Are you gonna be threatened by
The public enemies No. 10
Those who play the power game
They take the profits, you take the blame
When they tell you there's no rise in pay

Are you gonna try and make this work
Or spend your days down in the dirt
You see things can change
Walls can come tumbling down

Governments crack and systems fall
'Cause unity is powerful
Lights go out, walls come tumbling down
Governments crack and systems fall
'Cause unity is powerful
Lights go out, walls come tumbling down
Governments crack and systems fall
'Cause unity is powerful
Lights go out, walls come tumbling down
Governments crack and systems fall
'Cause unity is powerful
Lights go out, walls come tumbling down

Lyrics for a latter day Europe.

Father Macron ... I want to kill you.
Mother Merkel ... I want to ...

Yuck, rather change the genders around there.
Merkel, I want to kill you ... (although I'd rather first see you on trial for treason, and it should be a lawful execution).
Macron ... I want to ... (whatever Jim Morrison had in mind there).
Maybe an Edward II red-hot poker-style execution.

[Satire, of course.]

I guess I'll see your "This is the end" with my "Riders on the storm".
seems appropriate.

What is a "flatulence"?

It's an emergency vehicle that picks you up after you've been run over by a steamroller.

Now this guy is a teacher, and maybe, ten years younger than me.

But every time he speaks to me it's about queer sexuality, and even trans.

It always ends up about how "straight" he is.

He just likes fashion, but even his girlfriend asked him: "Dude, are you gay?"

He says no.

I'm like: "Is the Pope Catholic"?

I'd be very happy if he was.

Looking for love, but in cosmic places.

But no, he's asking me serious questions.

I don't have all the answers.
