[ti:4 50 am (Go Fishing)]
[al:Pros And Cons Of Hitch-Hiking]
[00:43.55] As cars go by I cast my mind's eye
[00:48.46] Over back packs on roof racks
[00:51.40] Beyond the horizon
[00:54.13] Where dream makers
[00:55.29] Working white plastic processors
[00:57.93] Invite the unwary
[01:00.30] To reach for the pie in the sky
[01:05.58] Go fishing my boy!
[01:44.39] We set out in the spring
[01:47.28] With a trunk full of books about everything
[01:55.17] About solar devices
[01:58.11] And how nice natural childbirth is
[02:05.91] We cut down some trees
[02:08.63] And we trailed our ideals
[02:10.80] Through the forest glade
[02:16.82] We dammed up the stream
[02:18.55] And the kids cooled their heels
[02:21.43] In the fishing pool we'd made
[02:27.65] We held hands and we exchanged bands
[02:31.71] And we practically lived off the land
[02:40.15] You adopted a fox cub
[02:42.99] Whose mother was somebody's coat
[02:50.93] You fed him by hand
[02:53.28] And then snuggled him down
[02:56.46] By the grandfather bed while I wrote
[03:01.45] And we grew our own maize
[03:04.38] And I only occasionally went into town
[03:12.34] To stock up on antibiotics
[03:16.43] And shells for the shotgun that I kept around
[03:23.25] I told the kids stories while you worked your loom
[03:27.81] And the sun went down sooner each day
[03:37.90] "Chapter six in which Eeyore has a birthday
[03:41.59] And gets two presents."
[03:44.63] "Daddy...come on dad."
[03:49.28] "Eeyore the old grey donkey stood by the side
[03:51.81] Of the stream and he looked at himself in the water
[03:55.51] 'Pathetic' he said, 'That's what it is'
[04:05.79] 'Good morning Eeyore' said Pooh
[04:36.90] 'Oh' said Pooh, He thought for a long time
[04:40.33] Then leaves all fell down
[04:42.77] Our crops all turned brown
[04:44.94] It was over
[04:50.51] As the first snowflakes fell
[04:53.64] I realized all was not well in the camp
[05:01.64] The kids caught bronchitis
[05:04.23] The space heater ran out of diesel
[05:12.00] One weekend a friend from the East
[05:15.80] Rot his soul
[05:17.21] Stole your heart
[05:22.23] I said, **** it then
[05:25.32] Take the kids back to town
[05:28.39] Maybe I'll see you around
[05:45.72] I said, go then
[05:51.22] She said, OK
[05:56.94] And so...leaving all our hopes and dreams
[06:02.52] To the wind and the rain
[06:07.58] Taking only our stash
[06:10.16] Left our litter and trash
[06:13.25] And set out on the road again
[06:17.10][06:22.56] On the road again
[06:44.99] "Bye Bye Daddy, Bye Daddy
[06:49.40] You can bring Pearl she's a darn nice girl
[06:55.62] But don't bring Liza."
