Now listening to:

Right Place, Wrong Time - Dr. John

This song is so funky. And the lyrics are brilliant.

I been in the right place
But it must have been the wrong time
I'd of said the right thing
But I must have used the wrong line
I been in the right trip
But I must have used the wrong car
My head was in a bad place
And I'm wondering what it's good for

I been the right place
But it must have been the wrong time
My head was in a place
But I'm having such a good time

I been running trying to get hung up in my mind
Got to give myself a little talking to this time
Just need a little brain salad surgery
Got to cure this insecurity

I been in the wrong place
But it must have been the right time
I been in the right place
But it must have been the wrong song
I been in the right vein
But it seems like the wrong arm
I been in the right world
But it seems wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong

Slipping, dodging ,sneaking
Creeping hiding out down the street
See me life shaking with every who I meet
Refried confusion is making itself clear
Wonder which way do I go to get on out of here

I been in the right place
But it must have been the wrong time
I'd have said the right thing
But I must have used the wrong line
I'd a took the right road
But I must have took a wrong turn
Would have made the right move
But I made it at the wrong time
I been on the right road
But I must have used the wrong car
My head was in a good place
And I wonder what it's bad for

Oh you brilliant bunch of fellow groovers!
Being a Friday afternoon , I'm going to shake my ass all the way to the pub.

Cool song, Groover.
And the thought of you shaking your ass on the way to the pub makes an old man very happy (if you'll excuse my saying so).
hee hee

You're excused, Dive. I certainly wasn't in a state to shake my arse by the time I got home, I can tell you. Woops, another Friday night time-bomb explodes!
