Spring!

After immersing myself in 40+ pages of course reading about political leadership versus business managerialism, I quite contentedly donned my earphones and wandered out into a lovely spring night to find a bank machine and deposit my hard earned dough. On the way, I was quite struck by the excellent timing of this song and particularly the highlighted passage below.

Mayday- Jason Webley

you hear that sound
the rain is coming down
it says there's a ripeness setting in
the children spin around
'til they crash into the ground
singin' welcome home forever once again

And when you hear the spirit's call
There ain't no use to fight
And if you want to eat tomorrow
You better sow your seed tonight
You better sow your seed tonight

you feel that fire
lift your body higher
an old old dance is growing here
better kiss me soon
while the blossoms are in bloom
or you might just have to wait another year

And when you hear the spirit's call
There ain't no use to fight
And if you want to eat tomorrow
You better sow your seed tonight
You better sow your seed tonight

(instrumental awesomeness)

You feel that beat
Come on move your feet
Old Man Winter's dead and gone
There'll be wiggling of the toes
There'll be taking off of clothes
There'll be silly naked dancing on the lawn

And when you hear the spirit's call
There ain't no wrong or right
And if you want to eat tomorrow
You better sow your seed tonight
You better sow your seed tonight


Granted, few of the folks who live in our neighbourhood actually have lawns, but there has been much spring-inspired cavorting nonetheless. I have been much amused to note that, where about 3 weeks ago, Anne and I claimed a (rather beat up) sled, I now see people playing frisbee in shorts and sandals. Damn, I love this country!
