I thought I would post the lyrics of the song that provided the site address name for my blog. The song is by the Crash Test Dummies and is a particular favourite of mine.
Once there were two knights and maidens
They'd walk together
Out in the gardens
In all kinds of weather
The knights always pestered the maidens
To love them together
Out in the gardens
And they could watch each other
The maidens had other plans for the two knights
They'd give them potions
And make them see dreams and lights
The knights took the potions gladly
They laughed at their visions
But outside the garden
Tigers smelled them together
The maidens had other plans for the two knights
They'd give them potions
And make them see dreams and lights
The knights only laughed at the tigers
They thought they were visions
Out in the garden
The maidens watched them together
Ah but for the two knights
Ah but for maidens
Who gave to them dreams and lights
Once there were two knights and maidens
They'd walk together
Out in the gardens
In all kinds of weather
The knights always pestered the maidens
To love them together
Out in the gardens
And they could watch each other
The maidens had other plans for the two knights
They'd give them potions
And make them see dreams and lights
The knights took the potions gladly
They laughed at their visions
But outside the garden
Tigers smelled them together
The maidens had other plans for the two knights
They'd give them potions
And make them see dreams and lights
The knights only laughed at the tigers
They thought they were visions
Out in the garden
The maidens watched them together
Ah but for the two knights
Ah but for maidens
Who gave to them dreams and lights
Always interesting to see where people get inspiration for things. :)
ReplyDeletedHello! This song is frequently playing on my head duke box, and I love the idea of knights and maidens, all that chivalry! (It probably was not very romantic back in the time of knights and maidens but I can dream!)
ReplyDeleteHmmm... lots of watching in the garden going on here... wouldn't say that's entirely too chivalrous. It comes down to the music really to decide the intent, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteWould like to nominate this for possible "johnny" potential. Hope that does not spoil it.
Johnny status never ruins it! So, Two Johnnies and Maidens or Two Knights and Johnnies?
ReplyDeleteI think a small amendment to Two (Hopeful)Knights with Johnnies is more appropriate for this song.
