keep it there, in my head
Today I had three ringgit sitting in my pocket.
I fancied getting a bar of beautifully textured white Toblerone. Or a sexy caramel Mars bar. I pictured the purple goodness of ribena saying hello to the taste receptors on my tongue.
And then concerned faces and 'motherly' voices pushed their way through these thoughts to start the age old lecture on proper eating habits.
So I made a left instead of driving ahead to the trusty 7eleven with
'got three dollars burning in my pocket, i know, i know
i got, i got, i got to keep it there'
singing in my head.
It made my heart sink. It brought to mind the loss of the past week. It drilled in this head that memories of the melody and rhythm are all that's left - nothing more - cause even youtube doesn't have it. Viruses that steal memories in pictures and songs are by far the most cruel. Even the cheating computer whiz that charged way more than necessary isn't as bad.

...is sad.
This, however:
'all my troubles in the rear view mirror, i know, i know
i got, i got, i got to keep them there'
has made it just that little bit better.
