I am a walking Moleskine advert

Started on the train, finished at lunchtime.

I blame telynor, if nothing else 'cause I bought a fountain pen before finishing this.

Something In The Back Of My Mind
Words: Mike Whitaker
Tune: to come, probably a piano ballad

Another stupid boring day, of mindless office work
Just typing, shorthand, filing, and my boss is still a jerk
So later on, my friends and I will take the bus to town
And go drinking, flirting, dancing - make them laugh and play the clown:
I walk back from the bus stop
Unsteady on my feet
Find a wall to lean on
And my heart just skips a beat

As I look up to the skies,
There is something in the back of my mind
There's a feeling that nags at me
Of something that I left far behind
It's tugging at my memory
Like a half-forgotten kiss
And I wonder if there ought to be
More to life than this

My friends all have this nonsense tale of starships in the sky
Must be some kind of wind up, or a drunken stupid lie
I don't know why I bother with this pointless job I do
I'm just a temp from Chiswick, nothing special, it is true
Some day I'll land a husband
Some day I'd hope to meet
A lawyer.. no, a doctor
Who would sweep me off my feet

As I look...

Instrumental

And sometimes, me and grandad
We'll watch the stars a while
He seems so sad and thoughtful
Though I try and make him smile

As I look...

Mike, this is beautiful.

I'm happy to be blamed. What kind of fountain pen did you get?

(trust me to concentrate on the important stuff!)

Hey, we match! (for now)

Beautiful!
(Even though I still didn't like that part of the ending much. At least Dalek-Caan called it as it is... ;)

SWEET! :) Very cool! And yay for more musical inspiration off that episode. I need to finish mine. :)

That was beautiful and it's making me all sniffly over Donna again. Lovely!

Perfect, and you made me cry,

I do have a lyric sifting through my brain, I should try and write it. I wonder if a fountain pen would work?

Great!!! Perfect for Donna. I love the "doctor" reference....

LJ made me anonymous first time around - don't know why. I have not had that happen before
