The wisdom of bon jovi - summertime.....

I suspect that there are a number of people here who would agree with me that Bon Jovi are pretty alright and that their songs are listenable, especially in a car (not so in a karaoke bar). I know I have put up their lyrics in the past and guess what, I'm going to do so again.

This is from the latest album (Lost Highway), which I've had for several months, and I love the general upbeat nature of this track (Summertime) in particular. The bit I especially love is the "how to stay happy" part. The "not giving up." There are times when we all need such things, some more often than most.

I keep a postcard in the back of my mind,
Of white sand, sunshine,
And you shining like a brand new dime,
That's keeping me from giving up,
Thinking that I've had enough.

I'm off to buy some more milk then it's back to the writing perfect answers to potential viva questions. On the other hand, I've been told that it should all be over by noon Friday.
