A tad off-topic but still relevant
Hi guys, I know this might be a little off-base, but it has to do with that voice in our heads that I tried to bring out in the “Conscience” stories. Those of you who who liked those will probably relate.
I was listening to some tunes and I came across an older album from Marillion. ( A Scottish band most of you don’t know, but they rock!) There is a song called “Uninvited Guest” that, while not about tickling per se, is about that voice. The one that seems to make those innocuous little decisions for us. Give it a read and tell me if this is you…
You may not recall the moment that you asked me,
But your invitation was clear;
You pretend you’ve never met me, but it’s far to late
Now I’m here…
I’m the one who knows what scares you
I’m the one who loves you best
I’m the thirteenth at the table
I’m the Uninvited Guest;
I’m the back row at your banquet
I’m the cuckoo in your nest
I’m your fifteen-stone first footer
I’m the Uninvited Guest
I was there when you said insincere “I Love You”s
To a woman who wasn’t your wife;
And I fronted you the money that you went away and blew
I’m the biggest regret of your life…
I’m the one who know what scares you
I’m the one who loves you best
I’m the thirteenth at the table
I’m the Uninvited Guest
I’m the back row at your banquet
I’m the cuckoo in your nest
I’m your New Year’s Resolution
I’m the Uninvited Guest
I’m the face you hoped you’d never see
But always knew you would
I’m the one thing knew you shouldn’t do
But did because you could
I’m the evil in your bloodstream
I’m the rash upon your skin
And you made a big mistake alright
The day you let me in
You can fly to the other side of the world
You know you’ll only find
I’ve reserved a seat beside you
We can talk about old times…
Ok, am I the only one this applies to here?
(Or am I really smoking too much…..?)
