1963 Redux

When The Ship Comes In
Bob Dylan - 1963

Oh the time will come up
When the winds will stop
And the breeze will cease to be breathin'.
Like the stillness in the wind
'Fore the hurricane begins,
The hour when the ship comes in.

Oh the seas will split
And the ship will hit
And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking.
Then the tide will sound
And the wind will pound
And the morning will be breaking.

Oh the fishes will laugh
As they swim out of the path
And the seagulls they'll be smiling.
And the rocks on the sand
Will proudly stand,
The hour that the ship comes in.

And the words that are used
For to get the ship confused
Will not be understood as they're spoken.
For the chains of the sea
Will have busted in the night
And will be buried at the bottom of the ocean.

A song will lift
As the mainsail shifts
And the boat drifts on to the shoreline.
And the sun will respect
Every face on the deck,
The hour that the ship comes in.

Then the sands will roll
Out a carpet of gold
For your weary toes to be a-touchin'.
And the ship's wise men
Will remind you once again
That the whole wide world is watchin'.

Oh the foes will rise
With the sleep still in their eyes
And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'.
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal
And know that it's for real,
The hour when the ship comes in.

Then they'll raise their hands,
Sayin' we'll meet all your demands,
But we'll shout from the bow your days are numbered.
And like Pharaoh's tribe,
They'll be drownded in the tide,
And like Goliath, they'll be conquered.
 
Upper crust

The 'upper crust' of society are so called because of the seating arrangements at large gatherings, in which those priveleged classes at the table (above the salt) had the choice of taking their bread from the top of the loaf, leaving the burnt, crusty base for the lower half of the table.

You learn something new everyday. If you learn something else today you can take tomorrow off.
 
crumpet: A small flat round of bread, baked on a griddle and usually served toasted.

So I've got his image of a toasted pancake. Is that about right? Is it eaten with butter and syrup, too?


I baked scones this morning. I'm not entirely sure I've ever had them before, but I was curious. They came from a mix. Blackcurrant scones. They turned out a bit too dense, I think, but not too awful bad. I must experiment with a real recipe.
 
I need a good cheesecake recipe for Thanksgiving -- since I don't like pumpkin pie.

Ever try a pumpkin cheesecake? I'm serious. They are delicious! I've never made one, but I've bought a couple at Costco here in the U.S.

Yeah, ok, so that was a mind fart. You wouldn't be thinking about Thanksgiving if you weren't American. :rolleyes:

Crumpets: about 3" across and half inch deep but the baking creates lots of air in the dough into which lashings of butter are melted.

Scones are meant to be dense, or claggy, although light. Hmm that may sound oxymoronic but true never the less. Light to bite, claggy to chew.

Served with just about anything that you'd put on a waffle.

I chugged two glasses of milk with one scone, they were that dense.

I'm no baker, but maybe a little more vigourosity in mixing would help.

I'm done with the AH for a while. I feel I've lost my place here, if I ever had it, so I'm abandoning ship.

Shit - now there's a hole in the ship.

Surely this isn't over the fucking scones? Were they that indigestible?

Impressive: Cheesecake? Baked or Fondant, I've recipes for both. Baked is great but takes time and uses ground almonds (Nut Alert). Fondant is quick but tricky.

Even them? :eek:

Lou :p

P.S. There's something about that word that always makes me tingle, especially when said by an Englishman. :eek:

You are strange, 'scones' does nothing for me. :D

What's up with McK? Who/what pissed her off?

I have a horrible feeling I didn't help matters much. :(

JMO, but I don't think Mack should be discussed in public, not re. something so personal and serious. Send her a PM if you really care. I did.

Came in on the end of this. Curious as to what had happened. I've done as you suggest.
