the Carboot Meeting

well it was all hot to trot at Marulan today , while the surrounding areas were apparently  being deluged Marulan, after a worryingly wobbly and  shaky start, pulled off a brilliant sunny day. Thanks to all who came to sell and buy and buy and sell and..We hadat least  twice as many people as last time and it seems to be assuming a certain dynamic of its own. There will be another one, whenever we can get a  5th Sunday around May..again  an amazing day!!thanks all to those who made the Trek..

and Terry, who remarked that the pictures of the last one looked like so much fun that he wanted to be part of this one..now that's the attitude..

MacArthur Park,,Year 9 or..

3rd Year as we called it then..

Spring was never waiting for us, girl
It ran one step ahead
As we followed in the dance
Between the parted pages and were pressed,
In love's hot, fevered iron
Like a striped pair of pants

CHORUS
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down...
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!

I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave
On the ground around your knees
The birds, like tender babies in your hands
And the old men playing checkers by the trees

CHORUS



There will be another song for me
For I will sing it
There will be another dream for me
Someone will bring it
I will drink the wine while it is warm
And never let you catch me looking at the sun
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
You'll still be the one.

I will take my life into my hands and I will use it
I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it
I will have the things that I desire
And my passion flow like rivers through the sky.
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
I'll be thinking of you
And wondering why.

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down...
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!
Oh, no
No, no
Oh NO!! (upon which Harris suffers an irreversible gender change)
