As before the discussion is open to anything related to the song, and these are only suggestions: love it? hate it? lyrics/music it changed my life live vs. studio version(s) (if applicable) the video (if any) that reminds me... This Island Earth (Ferry) So I send an SOS Semaphore myself Catch me falling finally Through the air and underground Everywhere this sound Screams and whisper I can't breathe I feel it in my bones Though I know I'm not alone You're spinning far too far from me So cruel to be so kind Now I know I'll always find This island earth a mystery As I stumble through the dark Dream lovers dream apart Starry eyed a vision rushes in Do I wonder or care My spirit's bleeding God knows where A never ending stream I tried to love, tried to find My soul in shadows running blind And restless as the sea Via sidewalks through the haze Wandering as in a maze Lost in number time and space So near and yet so far Castaway as strangers are This island earth And you and me ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon Avalonians on tour 2002: http://helios.unive.it/~tcecilia/meetup.html US ticket sale info: http://www.thewebgal.com/roxymusic/ (updated weekly) ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 11 Aug 2002 22:18:44 +0100 From: "tommy peters" Subject: Re: [AVALON] SOTW: "This Island Earth" This was always one of my favourites.No one else at the time rated it but I loved it and still do love to play this at high vol and listen to the "incidentals" going on in the mix.

Mr Avalon wishes to Sincerely Apologize to his fellow AvalOnians as he had been under the impression that He Was Being Helpful. In an attempt to Clear my name, I, Mr Avalon, have spent some time on some projects which I Feel would be Helpful in assisting AvalOnions with their many difficulties on AVALON. I would like the announce the formation of the following new mailing lists: MY FIRST AVALON Do you have a Problem in reading and understanding the posts on Avalon? If so, MY FIRST AVALON is the list for you. This list features Simple, E-Z To Read posts, with no words longer than two syllables. For an additional 928.482 EUR we will send you the LEARN TO READ WITH AVALON CDR and within a year we guarantee you will have the vocabulary andreading comprehension of the average 8 year old child. Don't Be AFRAID! It Will WORK FOR YOU TOO. Sample Post: I like music. I like the sounds. The piano is pretty. He sings gud. (If you also have trouble following posts that are longer than one line, you may also be interested in ADD-AVALON). AMAZONA* Do you insist on reading whatever you want into AVALON, no matter what Reality MAy DicTate, and no matter HOW MANY TIMES you are presented with the sAME faCts? IF SO, AMAZONA is the mailing list for you. AVALON LAMPOON Do you crave Even More Spoofs along with your regular AVALON discussion? I know MR AVALON does, and now that desire to LAFF LAFF LAFF can be fulfilled with AVALON LAMPOON. Wince and Nod AT THE SAME TIME at the scathing satire as FOllies and FoiBLes are laid Bare for ALL to SeE. Sample Post: "AVALON Linked To Global Warming"--WARNING! SPOOF! Scientists today linked the Avalon Mailing List to the rise in Global Warming. It seems that the sighs of dismay let out by AvalOnions when the regular spoofs come cross their screens are expelling tonnes of Carbon Dioxide into the air. A spokesman for the Group, MR AVALON had this to say:" Want more? You'll have to join the list to find out what hilarious thing happens next. (P>s. Don'T be WorRiED--It'S OnLY a SPOOF!) I hoPe This mAkes uP for My PasT UnHelpfulNESS. As Ever, I Remain Your Humble SErVant, MISTER AVALON *(My Apologys. It has just come to MR AVALON'S attention that such a list Already Exists.) _____________________________________________ Free email with personality!
