Gin Soaked Boys

We used to have "a song for the day" when Sanju baba was around. Stopped sometime back after life's other burdens overcame the urge to stand and stare at the boughs!
After hearing this song today on the way to work, I couldn't help but send it out as the song for today! I found the tune and the lyrics amazing - especially the ones that are underlined! This one is for you Sanju - I love you!


I was actually inspired by a new friend - Magno that made me get into the mood to reopen my blog! I realized that I actually skipped one full year without a single post! Thanks Magno...


The Divine Comedy -Gin Soaked Boys


I'm the darkness in the light
I'm the leftness in the right
I'm the rightness in the wrong
I'm the shortness in the long
I'm the goodness in the bad
I'm the saneness in the mad
I'm the sadness in the joy
I'm the gin in the gin-soaked boy, the gin-soaked boy
Ba ba ba ba de la da...

I'm the ghost in the machine
I'm the genius in the gene
I'm the beauty in the beast
I'm the sunset in the east
I'm the ruby in the dust
I'm the trust in the mistrust
I'm the Trojan horse in Troy
I'm the gin in the gin-soaked boy, the gin-soaked boy
Ba ba ba ba de la da...

I'm the tiger's empty cage
I'm the mystery's final page
I'm the stranger's lonely glance
I'm the hero's only chance
I'm the undiscovered land
I'm the single grain of sand
I'm the Christmas morning toy
I'm the gin in the gin-soaked boy, the gin-soaked boy
Ba ba ba ba de la da...

I'm the world you'll never see
I'm the slave you'll never free
I'm the truth you'll never know
I'm the place you'll never go
I'm the sound you'll never hear
I'm the course you'll never steer
I'm the will you'll not destroy
I'm the gin in the gin-soaked boy, yeah, the gin-soaked boy
Ba ba ba ba de la da...

I'm the half-truth in the lie
I'm the why not in the why
I'm the last role in the die
I'm the old school in the tie
I'm the spirit in the sky
I'm the catcher in the rye
I'm the twinkle in her eye
I'm Jeff Goldblum in "The Fly"
Who am I?
