Brighten

Today's lyric:

"There she stood in the street
Smiling from her head to her feet
I said 'Hey what is this?
Now maybe, baby
Maybe you're in need of a kiss?
I said 'Slow don't talk so fast -
Don't you think that love can last?"

Free: "All right now"
From the album: "Fire and water"

A freezing, disabled button-grey fog clothed the buildings on the way in today, dissipating reluctantly only as we approached the relative warmth of the capital.

From one of the twin chimneys of the squat London City Mission building, a lethargic plume of smoke drifted vertically, smudging the barren sky.

For some reason, I was reminded of a line by Byron..

And mine has been the fate of those
To whom the goodly earth and air
Are bann'd, and barr'd - forbidden fare.

I like the alliteration in that.

Someone noticed a glitch in the chronology of yesterday's post. I've got an idea it was because I parked the framework for the Today's lyric as a draft and maybe Blogger takes its cue from the Date Created, not the Date Published? Soon see.
