"You just wanna be on the side that's winning"

Here's my song for the day. Quel great songwriter, le Bob Dylan. His original version isn't on youtube (which means the record company must be blocking it), and neither is my fave cover. But here's a great cover by Simply Red.  UPDATE: I found the Bryan Ferry cover, which is a lot different, but I also like.

Positively 4th Street

You got a lotta nerve
To say you are my friend
When I was down
You just stood there grinning

You got a lotta nerve
To say you got a helping hand to lend
You just want to be on
The side that’s winning

You say I let you down
You know it’s not like that
If you’re so hurt
Why then don’t you show it

You say you lost your faith
But that’s not where it’s at
You had no faith to lose
And you know it

I know the reason
That you talk behind my back
I used to be among the crowd
You’re in with

Do you take me for such a fool
To think I’d make contact
With the one who tries to hide
What he don’t know to begin with

You see me on the street
You always act surprised
You say, “How are you?” “Good luck”
But you don’t mean it

When you know as well as me
You’d rather see me paralyzed
Why don’t you just come out once
And scream it

No, I do not feel that good
When I see the heartbreaks you embrace
If I was a master thief
Perhaps I’d rob them

And now I know you’re dissatisfied
With your position and your place
Don’t you understand
It’s not my problem

I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment
I could be you

Yes, I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
You’d know what a drag it is
To see you

Minion Vs Christmas Tree: Moving up in the world

Here's Christmas with Haley. Peaceful.

 

Let's check in with Minion.

 

 

Plotting her next move.

 

 

 

Victim: One green bird. She most hates the soldiers, though. They get it over and over. 

 

Plotting... plotting...

 

    Victim: One metal bell.

 Another attack!

Victim: One black elephant.

Since she's attacking the middle of the tree more, I placed the metal angel up higher. However she hasn't touched it since.

 As of today the tree topper is missing. (Not the star, but the teddy angel I finally found.) And the colored lights aren't working. I can't prove Minion's to blame but seeing as there's no other evident damage... I think she's beginning to set loftier goals.

 There is one thing that can distract her from the tree, however. And that's Haley. Check out the look of desperate love on Minion's face, a moment before she took off after the object of her adoration.
