No way are you paving paradise with a NASCAR race song!!! xx

Don't it always seem to go like you don't know what you've got till it's gone.
Janae- Jesus DOES want you for a Sunbeam, well as long as you are eating popcorn off the Apricot tree that is.
Edit**
I did not know that "Jesus Doesn't Want me for a Sunbeam" was a real song. I read the lyrics, it doesn't really make much sense but it's Nirvana- what would you expect?

If they paved paradise and put up a parking lot, then a big yellow taxi might come and take away your old man!
You might not even hear the damn screen door slam.
Man these people, they don't know what they got till its gone!
God is one of us: YOU!

I think it would be great if they paved paradise and put up a parking lot. Right now there's nowhere to park when I go to see all of the trees in the tree museum.

If they paved paradise to put up a parking lot, I'd be very upset about the death of all the trees, and the contamination the parking lot would encourage from the cars.

If they paved paradise, there would still be people cruising for the good spots, leaving their shopping carts behind other people's cars, and dinging their doors.

So long as they don't put all the trees in a tree museum, I'm okay with it.
---------------------------------
It's a Joni Mitchell song 30 years before someone (Counting Crows?) remade it. It's called "Big Yellow Taxi".

I have no idea what you're talking about.... other than that it wouldn't make a sodding difference to me either way.
If I can't be arsed to believe in most people... why the heck should I care about any god... no matter its' form?
