100

Seeing as I'm in a Leonard-melancholic-Cohen state of mind just now, I thought it most appropriate to mark 'All the World's A Stage's 100th post with a song by one of my favourite poet/lyricist.........

In my secret life
In my secret life
In my secret life
In my secret life

I saw you this mornin'
You were moving so fast
Can't seem to loosen my grip
On the past.

And I miss you so much
There's no one in sight
And we're still making love.

In my secret life
In my secret life

I smile when I'm angry
I cheat and I lie
I do what I have to do
To get by.

But I know what is wrong
And I know what is right
And I'd die for the truth.

In my secret life
In my secret life

Hold on, hold on my brother
My sister hold on tight
I finally got my orders
I'll be marchin'through the morning
Marchin' through the night
Movin' through the borders of my secret life.

Looked through the paper
Makes you want to cry
Nobody cares if the people
Live or die.
And the dealers want you thinkin'
That its either black or white
Thank God its not that simple
In my secret life.

I bite my lip
I buy what I'm told
From the latest hit
To the wisdom of old.

But I'm always alone
And my heart is like ice
And its crowded and cold.

In my secret life
In my secret life
In my secret life
In my secret life
