Unedited 'Fast Forward' ~ Joe Jackson

I'm hitting fast forward
Seems like we'd gotten kind of stuck
Time to get out of town and try to
Set the controls for sometime off in the future
Where people will be happy instead of

Getting dumber and getting scareder all the time
Scared of their own shadows and scared to take a fall
Either miserable with millions or dying for a dime
Desperate to live forever or lucky to live at all

And if I could see myself from some other planet
Would I be shaking my head sadly or
Would I be laughing
Saying it's always been the same
But anyway

Not going back to the Age of Gold or the Age of Sin
Fast forward till I understand the age I'm in

And it's always the old guys bitching
About the young guys growing beards
Or turning into sissies or something
While they're trying to hold back time
As if that isn't weird
Meanwhile the young guys are

Waiting for respect when what they wanna be is cool
Cool calm and collected just as if that isn't strange
Or they wanna blow the whistle, ring the bell and change the rules
When the game goes on forever
It's just the uniforms that change

If this is the best of times or if it's the worst
There's some difference of opinion out there
Everyone is a genius
But no one has any friends
Or is it the other way around

Not going back to the Age of Gold or the Age of Sin
Fast forward till I understand the age I'm in

Sometimes I look at the Moon
And I think I know just how she feels
Going round and round us again
As we go round the Sun
Watching us as fools and geniuses rush in
And you and me age disgracefully
And have way too much fun

And everyone knows about what's over and done
And tied up with pretty ribbons on it
One king after another
With a mad one and a queen or two
Thrown in for good measure and meanwhile

We can make the future, make it every bit as clear
Make a friendly Star Trek universe, 'cause everything's allowed
The only place that's seriously strange to be is here
And the only time that's maddeningly mysterious is now

So I'm hitting fast forward

Come on get on board!
You don't wanna be late now...

Not going back to the Age of Gold or the Age of Sin
Fast forward till I understand the age I'm in

  2. Just saw overlord on the big screen. It was good, a good movie to see on the big screen.

    It might be a couple of years since I went to the theater. Probably going to be a couple of more till I go back. The first new Star Trek was the last big screen movie where I said Yeah! The Star Wars reboot was also worthwhile.

    I am hoping the game tonight makes me say Yeah! McSplooge says the Golden Showers are going to make us piss our pants. The Reeves line is something like the legion of doom.

      I consider the JJ Abrahams-verse Star Trek a failure. I did like the original Star Trek universe Discovery TV show, although the new look Klingons didn't look right.

      I saw the first new Star Wars movie at the theater and was kind of bored with it. That franchise lost me back in '83.

    With Auntie in goal they have a chance. Price's head is somewhere else... maybe with the new Seattle franchise (Mrs. Price's hometown) somewhere down the road? Look what Vegas did for Fleury.

    I'm not wishing for this but there is a sort of logic to it.

    1. Interesting theory, the M. Especially because for Mrs. TFS, the media here has not been kind.

    2. I had that exact discussion with another Habs fan last night. I think it's a definite possibility and would be best for the Price family. But here's hoping he finds himself long before that is even a possibility and helps this team compete every night.

    I hope the boo birds in the upper reaches of the Bell lay off Patches tonight. It wasn't his fault Dollar Store bergy drove the team into the ground.

    Hey Steve! looks like it's just you and me tonight. How's the pornstache coming along this month?

    I have to admit, I thought KoHo was a wasted pick, I would have taken Zadina. I would have been wrong.

    1. I cant really grow one, I gotta shave after about 3 days.

      Yeah the Kid is impressive, it like he is playing a differant game, a half second faster.

      Delete
  23. KidKo outsmarted Patches on a play to scoot the puck past him and into the offensive zone moments before he scored... Domini on a 7-game point scoring streak now?... my guess is Patches will finish the night with 12 SoG and nothing to show for it... Great night for proving youth/speed beyter than long teeth in the D-man dept. Great entertainment last period. Come on boys! Win this fucker!!! GYFHG! --SiM on mobile

  24. Skipped the second to catch up on the latest American Horror Story episode. Looks like I should have stuck with the game. I'm in for the 3rd...and of course a penalty...

    1. I dropped AHS after the 5 or 6th episode. The first season was great kind of a long sixth sense.

    2. Yeah it's just been weird, took it back to the coven season, finally has brought it full circle though to find out what lead to the apocolypse, final ep next week.

  26. Right after my 915 post i had to head upstairs to let the dog out (he's 16 and if I don't let him out regularly, he resorts to indoor plumbing...I even built him an accessible ramp for easier egress). I digress...while I was waiting for him did I hear the call that Peca put the VGK 4th goal in?

    And,......SAUCE!!!!

  28. Ahh nope Sauce will get the goal, the overhead confirms it.

  29. In case you missed it Patches signed a 4 yr contract at $7 per year, we dodged that bullet.

    1. I think he will eventually find his game and become a 25-30 goal scorer, but as much as I shit on MB I must give him credit for the return he got in that trade. Looking like a bigger and bigger steal each day.

      R.I.P. Stan.

      Despite the controversy of what he actually created (Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko had a lot to do with it), Stan was the Salesman Supreme (SWIDT). I'm more of a DC guy but acknowledge he had a lot to do with comics transitioning from being for kids to young adults to boomers with lots of cash.

      A lot of weird shit happened to Stan after his wife Joan passed last year with people taking advantage of him and elder abuse. I'm glad he is at peace and back with her in the Great Beyond.

    2. RIP Stan Lee, it can be said without exaggeration he may be the greatest literary figure of the 2oth century.
