The random song quotation post - even more disappointing than usual

For some reason, this section of the Things of Stone and Wood song 'She will survive' popped into my head last night at around 2am:


But at night she will have haunted dreams
Of monsters crawling, from the Deep
And faces white that press against her eyes.

But we will sing and they will go away
They might come again some other day
And we will just sing twice as loud


And she will survive
She will survive this


Random musing to accompany quote: In 1997 (or thereabouts) when I used to walk regularly down Westgarth Street in Fitzroy as a back way to Brunswick Street, TOSAW* frontman Greg Arnold and I would regularly cross paths. He always said hello to me, which suggests that either a) he thought I was some one else or b) thought he knew me from somewhere (possible, but not likely) or c) was so perplexed by my teaming of dark-coloured slip dresses as outer-wear with grannyish cardigans and sandals that he was momentarily moved to uber-politneness mode.

Or perhaps he's just a nice bloke. And certainly given his own penchant for cardigans at the time he was hardly in a position to judge.


* Anyone who was working in music press or endlessly engaged in creating and applying street posters at this time may appreciate this abbreviation, which seemed to be everywhere in Melbourne in the mid-90s. Or at least in the blocks surrounding the Dan O'Connell.
