- Well it's real mellow sounding. . .I was never good at describing music.
- Here's some lyrics:
-
- I was laying on the porch, as the bus drove by
- Just talking to the dog about thinking to myself
- There are so many big ideas we could talk about
- But nothing that gets said gets us out of Cabbagetown
-
- (Chorus)
- Oh Cabbagetown, oh Cabbagetown
- I will leave and I'll return
- Oh Cabbagetown
-
- I talked to my old grand-dad as he fell into the sea
- He said time and tide are one thing that no one understands
- I talked to my uncle Jack as he tried to talk to me
- With a bottle in one hand and another in the other
-
- (Chorus)
-
- Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
-
- (Chorus)
-
- Is that what you wrote? You'd think they would at least say thanks.

- "To Hell with everybody!" -Nameless (to me) Southern senator, recently

- "I hate politics" -dlp5@po.cwru.edu (me)
