Yes, I thought it didn't do justice to the photo of the famous kiss!
But I'm going to move it to my signature, although I want to keep the G. Marx too... Love it.
You probably know the "Vegan" quote is from "Shirley Valentine"?

" - I'm vegan now."

This one might seem silly, but I heard the Phil Collins version of it that has that melancholy undercurrent at the gym today, and couldn't help but think of our boys:

When Im feeling blue, all I have to do
Is take a look at you, then Im not so blue
When youre close to me, I can feel your heart beat
I can hear you breathing near my ear
Wouldnt you agree, baby you and me got a groovy kind of love

Anytime you want to you can turn me onto
Anything you want to, anytime at all
When I kiss your lips, ooh I start to shiver
Cant control the quivering inside
Wouldnt you agree, baby you and me got a groovy kind of love, oh

When Im feeling blue, all I have to do
Is take a look at you, then Im not so blue
When Im in your arms, nothing seems to matter
My whole world could shatter, I dont care
Wouldnt you agree, baby you and me got a groovy kind of love
We got a groovy kind of love
We got a groovy kind of love, oh
We got a groovy kind of love
No more beans!

What a coincidence. I wanted to (and will) add a Phil Collins song, though ususally I am not into his music. And the first thing that catches my eye on this thread is a Phil Collins song posted by Barb (Hi Barb! *waving*)


Today my family and I went on a day-trip. Stitting in the car, the children all quiet (a rare moment  ;) ) and Phil Collings starts to sing "Against all Odds" on the radio. An old song, but for the first time in my life I payed attention to the lyrics.
I don't like the song much (at least until today  ;) ), for me it's kitschy and over the top. And Phil Collins is ok for me, but not one of my fav musicians. But today, it reminded me of Ennis in the alley, with dry-heaves, at the end of their Brokback summer. It fits this scene. And not only this scene, but fits the end, too.
Here it is:

How can I just let you walk away,
just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
You're the only one who really knew me at all

How can you just walk away from me,
when all I can do is watch you leave
Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain,
and even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now,
'cos there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now,
'cos there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me
is against all odds and that's what I've got to face

I wish I could just make you turn around,
turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you,
so many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now,
'cos there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now,
'cos there's just an empty space
But to wait for you,
well that's all I can do and that's what I've got to face
Take a good look at me now,
'cos I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
That's the chance I've got to take, oh, oho

Just take a look at me now
