Let's get lyrical, lyrical: Dylan Mondegreen - Girl in Grass

When your girlfriend let you down
Made you the laughing-stock of town
A minor mistake caused major heartache


When your friend forgot to show

And you stood there all alone

A small detail was added to a trail


Of bad affairs

Of people who don't seem to care

But when your heart breaks you feel the sweetest ache


In a riot of colour you see blue

and you'd like the world to tremble for you

Still your eyes may twinkle just like stars

when Ginger's lying flat out on the grass


Put your favourite t-shirt on

and let summer come along

Rejoice in the photograph

of girl in grass


You may be charmed on Saturday

Feel smitten on Sunday

Now monday's here
and you're caught by fear

So you hibernate indoors

Spend all day in bed because

Every petty fling
seems like the greatest thing

Since bread came sliced

or at least since Bread sang Yours For Life

You want your heart to break
to feel the sweetest ache

In a riot of colour you see blue

and you'd like the world to tremble for you

Still your eyes may twinkle just like stars

when Ginger's lying flat out on the grass


Put your favourite t-shirt on

and let summer come along

Rejoice in the photograph

of girl in grass


Now here's a man who understands value in a mustache. Because only a person who takes his 'tache' seriously would cite Bread in his/her song. Cause the way I see it, Bread's 40% songs, 60% mustache. I found myself growing one as I was listening to their songs.

Ha ha, got you, no I did not grow a mustache from listening to some AOR song. That would be ridiculous. I mean, jeez, seriously. Listening, then growing a mustache? That's positively insane.

I grew a new layer of armpit hair and my pubes curled.

That's the truth. Pfft ... mustache.
