Something on the lighter side...

I was listening to some old compilation discs today and came across a song by Pansy Division that got me thinking of a few people from my (somewhat distant) youthful past. For all of the board talk of Thai friends, boyfriends, boy specials, etc. it might hit a chord or spark a memory with some of you.

Maybe it'll also goad a few more of you into uploading to your own photo albums here on the board! :cheers:

There's no way I know of to share an MP3 here, but the lyrics go like this...


I WISH IтАЩD TAKEN PICTURES
by Jon Ginolli, Subculture Music (BMI)

DidnтАЩt think heтАЩd split so soon, thought time was on our side,
But cynical turned bitchy, clever turned to snide.
I wonтАЩt miss his sullen poses, I wonтАЩt miss his dull veneer,
But I wish IтАЩd taken pictures тАШcause his beautiful face ainтАЩt here.

Met up with a new guy with alabaster skin
Turned out to be an ala-bastard; broke it off with him
His features were so striking: long lashes, dark brown curls,
But I wish IтАЩd taken pictures тАШcause heтАЩs long gone from my world.

Met a lovely goth boy, way into 4AD
Precious, frail and sensitive -- took himself too seriously.
Always lighting candles, made his bed an alter,
But I wish IтАЩd taken pictures because our thing quickly faltered.

Finally got a camera after years of delay --
Thought memory would be enough but I found out too late.
So letтАЩs be realistic: the odds are this wonтАЩt lastтАж
Now IтАЩm taking pictures so I never forget your beautiful ass.
