Still waiting on mine, got lots of new spines but no flowers yet.
And as the walls come down and as I look in your eyes
My fear begins to fade recalling all of the times
I have died and will die.
It's all right.
I dont mind
I dont mind.
I DONT MIND
I'm 4 miles north of the River Trent, so that evidently qualifies me as a northerner Ian! Foreigners start north or south of the Trent according to where you were born!
