I've done all the dumb things!

When I was driving to work this morning, this song came onto Triple M (Rock on!) and man it just felt so appropriate for how I'm feeling at the moment!

Dumb Things - Paul Kelly

Welcome, strangers, to the show
I'm the one who should be lying low
Saw the knives out, turned my back
Heard the train coming, stayed out on the track
In the middle, in the middle, in the middle of a dream
I lost my shirt, I pawned my rings
I've done all the dumb things
Caught the fever, heard the tune
Thought I loved her, hung my heart on the moon
Started howling, made no sense
Thought my friends would rush to my defence
In the middle, in the middle, in the middle of a dream
I lost my shirt, I pawned my rings
I've done all the dumb things
And I get all your good advice
It doesn't stop me from going through these things twice
I see the knives out, I turn my back
I hear the train coming, I stay right on that track
In the middle, in the middle, in the middle of a dream
I lost my shirt, I pawned my rings
I've done all the dumb things
I melted wax to fix my wings
I've done all the dumb things
I threw my hat into the ring
I've done all the dumb things
I thought that I just had to sing
I've done all the dumb things


Oh boy. Sums everything up pretty nicely right about now!

Great song too :)

Seriously though, I've done a lot of dumb shit in my life.
They've all been lessons to learn from and I'll never regret that, but this particular line -
"And I get all your good advice
It doesn't stop me from going through these things twice"
Haha well!
Ain't that the truth!
History repeats itself my friends and it takes US to change that.

"In the middle, in the middle, in the middle of a dream"
It does feel like a dream sometimes doesn't it?
When are we going to wake up? <- I'd say that's another song and another post!

But THIS line
"I melted wax to fix my wings"
Yes, yes I have. Numerous times!
Better not fly too close to the sun, it'll all melt away.

All in all, a very fitting song for the mood and mindset I'm in right now.

Plus, I can't get it out of my head.
