My Manifesto: The Incoherent Ramblings of a Madman

It's a fantastically nice day today; spring weather at its' finest; despite the fact it is summer. This is in stark contrast to the sub 15 degree C winter weather we've been having recently, again, despite the fact it is meant to be summer.

I was out having breakfast in the village square this morning; overlooking a jazz band who were playing various tunes. It was really quite enjoyable sitting there in the half-shade/sun drinking a coffee and reading the paper.

A random guy decided he would go with some impromptu acoustic "Major Tom" which fitted in really well with the jazz accompaniment. I've always wondered how people decide what songs to mash up and whether or not it will work; perhaps now I can say that it doesn't really matter so much because

Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on

Ground Control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown, engines on
Check ignition and may God’s love be with you

Spoken:
Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Lift-off

This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You’ve really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it’s time to leave the capsule if you dare

“This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I’m stepping through the door
And I’m floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there’s nothing I can do

Though I’m past one hundred thousand miles
I’m feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much (she knows!)
Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit’s dead, there’s something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear....

“ am I floating round my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there’s nothing I can do.?
