Tom Waits
Hold On
Hold On
They hung a sign up in out town
if you live it up, you wont
Live it down
So, she left monte rio, son
Just like a bullet leaves a gun
With charcoal eyes and monroe hips
She went and took that california trip
Well, the moon was gold, her
Hair like wind
She said dont look back just
Come on jim
(chorus)
Oh you got to
Hold on, hold on
You got to hold on
Take my hand, Im standing right here
You gotta hold on
Well, he gave her a dimestore watch
And a ring made from a spoon
Everyone is looking for someone to blame
But you share my bed, you share my name
Well, go ahead and call the cops
You dont meet nice girls in coffee shops
She said baby, I still love you
Sometimes theres nothin left to do
Oh you got to
Hold on, hold on
You got to hold on
Take my hand, Im standing right here, you got to
Just hold on.
Well, God bless your crooked little heart st. louis got the best of me
I miss your broken-china voice
How I wish you were still here with me
Well, you build it up, you wreck it down
You burn your mansion to the ground
When theres nothing left to keep you here, when
Youre falling behind in this
Big blue world
Oh you go to
Hold on, hold on
You got to hold on
Take my hand, Im standing right here
You got to hold on
Down by the riverside motel,
Its 10 below and falling
By a 99 cent store she closed her eyes
And started swaying
But its so hard to dance that way
When its cold and theres no music
Well your old hometown is so far away
But, inside your head theres a record
Thats playing, a song called
Hold on, hold on
You really got to hold on
Take my hand, Im standing right here
And just hold on.

Drove out to the Sudbury MA Jihadiwannabe's neighborhood, not much to report, the house is across the street from a school and a senior center. About 4 news vans in front of the house. Took a stroll. Folks in the immediate vicinity who take time to read stuff stuck on telephone polls will now find themselves directed to a useful source of accurate information on all things Islamist dot org.
Nothing to be seen at Islamic Center of Boston a couple miles from the house except a few cars parked in back. Apparently the press was all out at the school in Worcester where this clown taught and I wasn't about to drive to Worcester.
Lots of laughs about the "jihadist wannabee" around the greater Boston area. Effective homeland security is a Catch-22: fail and they scream at you, succeed and they laugh at you.
