Spread the Fat-Free Goodness

Art, my co-worker at, well, work, let me use his IPod Shuffle tonight because he was saddened that I didnt have a CD player at my desk yet. I was cruising through his tunes and found this really great song by Don McLean. I wasnt even aware that Don McLean did any other song of mention besides American Pie! Regardless, the song is stupendous and the lyrics are stupendous-er.

Castles in the Air, Don McLean

And if she asks you why, you can tell her that I told you
That I’m tired of castles in the air
I’ve got a dream I want the world to share
And castle walls just lead me to despair

Hills of forest green where the mountains touch the sky,
A dream come true, I’ll live there till I die
I’m asking you to say my last goodbye
The love we knew ain’t worth another try

Save me from all the trouble and the pain
I know I’m weak, but I can’t face that girl again
Tell her the reasons why I can’t remain,
Perhaps she’ll understand if you tell it to her plain

But how can words express the feel of sunlight in the morning,
In the hills, away from city strife
I need a country woman for my wife;
I’m city born, but I love the country life

For I cannot be part of the cocktail generation:
Partners waltz, devoid of all romance
The music plays and everyone must dance
I’m bowing out, I need a second chance

Save me from all the trouble and the pain
I know I’m weak, but I can’t face that girl again
Tell her the reasons why I can’t remain,
Perhaps she’ll understand if you tell it to her plain

And if she asks you why, you can tell her that I told you
That I’m tired of castles in the air
I’ve got a dream I want the world to share
And castle walls just lead me to despair

Isnt that great? its a bzillion times better (Im guesstimating, it may be closer to half a bzillion) with the music. I highly suggest everyone of astounding taste (such as myself) to dash out and find a recording of this song. Download it, maybe; I dont think youll find it easily in a record store.
