XTC - Complicated Game

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=L_QFMuieWiI

I ask myself should I put my finger to the left, no
I ask myself should I put my finger to the right, no
I say it really doesn't matter where I put my finger
Someone else will come along and move it
And it's always been the same
It's just a complicated game

A little girl asked me should she part her hair upon the left, no
A little girl asked me should she part her hair upon the right, no
I said it doesn't really matter where you part your hair
Someone else will come along and move it and it's
Always been the same
It's just a complicated game

A little boy asked me should he put his vote upon the left, no
A little boy asked me should he put his vote upon the right, no
I say it really doesn't matter where you put your vote
Someone else will come along and move it
And it's always been the same
It's just a complicated game

They wanted Tom
They wanted Joe
To dress 'em up and stick 'em out on show
They were arrows in a very bad aim
It's just a complicated game

God asked me should he ought to put his world on the left, no
God asked me should he ought to put his world on the right, no
I said God, it really doesn't matter where you put your world
Someone will come along and move it
And it's always been the same
It's just a complicated
Game

Spacer's Home
Carmen Miranda's Ghost - Spacer's Home
https://youtu.be/qxjNmjcI4Jo?si=eA1nTkHhnEge34HV

Space is long and dark and empty
Quite a way 'tween friend and friend
And you never know nobody
When your journey's at an end
So the place you're gonna find me
'Tween the times I have to roam's-
-in the bar around the corner
Where they make you feel at home

Belly up to the bar friend
Have another round
It's long cold and lonely
'Tween the times we hit the ground
One day I'm gonna settle down
Never more to roam
But for now the bar's a spacer's home
So far away from home

Spaceport bars is common places
Here you'll find the common men
Some as rough as three-day whiskers
Some as quiet as hidden sin
Some as deadly as an adder
Some as dumber than a stone
And when they're not chasing stardust
They make spaceport bars their home

Out on Mars the Winking Lizard
Lies just left beyond the gate
Lady Stella does the pouring
and you never have to wait
For the rum that burns your gizzard
And incinerates your brain
And you hear the tales of Mars
Before the city slickers came

Belly up to the bar friend
Have another round
It's long cold and lonely
'Tween the times we hit the ground
One day I'm gonna settle down
Never more to roam
But for now the bar's a spacer's home
So far away from home

You know Atlas ain't got nothing
But the Jammer's worth the trip
Though you better not cross Charlie
Or you'll get a busted lip
But the folks there like their singing
And their joking
And their brew
And you'll think you've gone to glory
'Fore the evening's halfway through

You've a friend at Finky's waiting
When you drop on Heaven's Rim
Where they pour free Irish Whiskey
And they let you tell them when
That's where Angel watches over you
And when you've had enough
There's a space back in the corner
Where they'll let you sleep it off

Belly up to the bar friend
Have another round
It's long cold and lonely
'Tween the times we hit the ground
One day I'm gonna settle down
Never more to roam
But for now the bar's a spacer's home
So far away from home

There's the Lone Star on New Texas
Where the chili's piping hot
And the Unicorn on Eros
Where the brandy hits the spot
And there's Duck's on Altos seven
And there's Donna's on New Rome
And there's not one man among us
Who's ashamed to call them home

Space is long and dark and empty
Quite a way 'tween friend and friend
And you never know nobody
When your journey's at an end
So the place you're gonna find me
'Tween the times I have to roam's-
-in the bar around the corner
Where they make you feel at home

Belly up to the bar friend
Have another round
It's long cold and lonely
'Tween the times we hit the ground
One day I'm gonna settle down
Never more to roam
But for now the bar's a spacer's home
So far away from home

Belly up to the bar friend
Have another round
It's long cold and lonely
'Tween the times we hit the ground
One day I'm gonna settle down
Never more to roam
But for now the bar's a spacer's home
So far away from home

But for now the bar's a spacer's home
So far away from home...

Sweet Melissa
By The Allman Brothers

https://youtu.be/R5XJDxe7TVY?si=IEIVrK2E5PgMkV66

Crossroads, seem to come and go, yeah
The gypsy flies from coast to coast
Knowing many, loving none
Bearing sorrow, havin' fun
But back home he'll always run
To sweet Melissa
Freight train, each car looks the same, all the same
And no one knows the Gypsy's name
No one hears his lonely sighs
There are no blankets where he lies
In all his deepest dreams the Gypsy flies
With sweet Melissa
Again the morning's come
Again he's on the run
Sunbeams shining through his hair
Appearing not to have a care
Well, pick up your gear and Gypsy roll on, roll on
Crossroads, will you ever let him go? No, no, no
Will you hide the dead man's ghost?
Or will he lie, beneath the clay?
Or will his spirit float away?
But I know that he won't stay without Melissa
Yes, I know that he won't stay without Melissa

It's worrying that it had to be mentioned at all

Disappointing, but by no means surprising.

Very true. As I recall from school, half of the people in the world have below average intelligence.

Yes, but do they all reside in Missouri? :)

Possibly.
It is the, “Show me” state.

What, exactly, is "below average"?

Sweetie, I only took some business math, but I think below average is the bottom 50%.

Let’s be a bit more charitable and a little less flamey towards those voting hmmm?

Hello guys
