such a little thing but the difference it made was grave there you go wielding a bicycle chain oh why won't you change change and be nicer? such a little thing a gentle tone of kindness or written words on paper - can you write? How I love all of the very simple things of life (God's good air) how I love all of the very simple things of life such a little thing a fumbling politeness the difference it saved me wielding a bicycle chain "I WILL NOT CHANGE AND I WILL NOT BE NICE" Most people keep their brains between their legs Leave me alone - I was only singing leave me alone because I was only singing leave me alone - I was only singing leave me alone you have just proved (again) MOST PEOPLE KEEP THEIR BRAINS BETWEEN THEIR LEGS |
