Things I've Found on my Local's Jukebox # 62 The The


Put on the jukebox tonight on a bit of a session. One of the great Existentialist Pop songs and one of the first I attempted to teach students almost Twenty Five years ago now in Czechoslovakia. What was I thinking! Wish I could teach it again now with a bit of the wisdom accrued from the intervening years. A very clever lyric which seems to me about the idea that we have that our lives can really change utterly from one day to the next when in actual fact we carry our past, problems, memories and flaws with us wherever we go. Still stands up extremely well..
