Up The Revolution


Rain! So you don’t like it, modern man on holiday,
well it doesn’t wait for you approval, and anyway,
it is good for you hair. “Singing In the Rain”
endless takes, some actors couldn’t get it right and
died of pneumonia, forgotten now, all except for
the lead actor, have forgotten his name, great dancer
though. I do remember that and the dreadful lyrics
of poplar song back then; so bad it make me blush
thinking of it; we were so uncritical and polite then
We can now write songs with great lyric, be critical
of films; only we don’t, we still worship bland actors
and singers of trite songs. The well known students
of 1968, siblings of the elite, had a big street party in
Paris and called it a revolution, they are the ones who
run the show now, just as their parents once did
