One of my birthday presents was Karine Polwart's latest CD, Scribbled in Chalk. Since my birthday I've listened to it a couple of times, but today is the first time I've listened to it properly. As in listened to (and read at the same time) the words. There are several lines which I think are just fab, and I'd like to share them with you.

"...but there are some people in this world who don't think like you do
They don't think like you do, and some don't think at all" (Daisy)

"All the men with enormous heads and tiny hearts
In the end they're only playing incidential parts" (Where the Smoke Blows)

"Now you don't move too fast, you make it all last
You encounter each moment before it is past
And you say 'Walking slow in this world is no crime'
You just let it all hang out and take its own time
You just let it all hang out and take its own time"
(Take its Own Time)

So, so true.
