  1. "It's all right; he's one of us." "One of us? He looks like three of us!" "Ay - and equal to a full dozen!"

     

    "You're a very charming woman, Marian, but not exactly clever."

     

    "He is different from anyone I've ever known. He's, well he's brave and he's reckless, and yet he's...gentle and kind. He's not brutal like...tell me, when you are in love, is it, well, is it hard to think of anybody but, but one person?"  "Yes, indeed my lady, and sometimes it's a bit of trouble sleeping."   "I know, but it's a nice kind of not sleeping."   "And it affects your appetite too. Not that I've noticed it's done that to you"

     

    "But it's lost you your rank, your lands. It's made you a hunted outlaw when you might have lived in comfort and security. What's your reward for all this?"   "Reward? You just don't understand, do you?"   "I'm sorry. I do begin to see... a little... now."You do? Then that's reward enough."

     

    "So, you think you're overtaxed, do you?"   "Overtaxed, overworked, and paid off with a knife, a club, or a rope. "Why, you speak treason!"  "Fluently."

     
     
  2. "purity purify pure yeah, fire does that?"

    Yes. Ask any blacksmith.   Ask anyone who's seen a blacksmith work.  This was well-known back then, since smithing was common back then.  For that matter, whitesmiths knew it, too.  

    Psalms 12:6

    6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

     

    Anyone familiar with either smithing or smelting will understand this, and that was done by hand back then, which made it common knowledge.

    Malachi 3:2-3

    2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:

    3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.

     

    Silver was seen as a "pure" metal, and God was said to purify silver.    Here we also see soap mentioned as a purifying agent. If it's not clear how soap cleanses, I can't help.

     

  3. "Baby, time meant nothin', anything seemed real
    Yeah, you could kiss like fire and you made me feel
    Like every word you said was meant to be
    No, it couldn't been that easy to forget about me."
     

     

     

    "Two cars park on the overpass.
    Rocks hit the water like broken glass.
    I shoulda known right then it was too good to last.
    God, it's such a drag when you're living in the past."

  4. 1 minute ago, Human without the bean said:

    Norwegian Wood

    Correct.

    Pretty tune about a guy who gets angry at a girl because she leads him on then he gets none, so he gets back at her by torching her house. 

    Harsh.

    I still find mild amusement at the other title for the song- "Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown.)" Well, yes, she was gone in the morning. That "bird" (British slang) had flown!

  5. "It's all right; he's one of us." "One of us? He looks like three of us!" "Ay - and equal to a full dozen!"

     

    "You're a very charming woman, Marian, but not exactly clever."

     

    "He is different from anyone I've ever known. He's, well he's brave and he's reckless, and yet he's...gentle and kind. He's not brutal like...tell me, when you are in love, is it, well, is it hard to think of anybody but, but one person?"  "Yes, indeed my lady, and sometimes it's a bit of trouble sleeping."   "I know, but it's a nice kind of not sleeping."   "And it affects your appetite too. Not that I've noticed it's done that to you"

     

     

  6. Next song. What will I post?  Ok, something just started playing on the radio....
