Rather Be…


What would you rather be?

Rich and ill or healthy and poor?

A sparrow or a snail?

A hammer or a nail?

A forest or a street?

This Blockblog is like one of those classic radio stations

- Let's call it RADIO TRANQUILITY -

that own only three Best-of-Compilations from

- Let's say –

U2, QUEEN and MICHAEL JACKSON

and plays them - in very heavy rotation - back and forth

all day long.

My blockblog's Best-of-Compilation and heavy rotation

seems to be Paul Simon rather with or without Art Garfunkel.

And they were already old when I was young…

El cóndor pasa (If I Could)

I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail
Yes, I would
If I could
I surely would

Away, I'd rather sail away
Like a swan that's here and gone
A man gets tied up to the ground
He gives the world its saddest sound

Its saddest sound

I'd rather be a hammer than a nail
Yes, I would
If I only could
I surely would

Away, I'd rather sail away
Like a swan that's here and gone
A man gets tied up to the ground
He gives the world its saddest sound

Its saddest sound

I'd rather be a forest than a street
Yes, I would
If I could
I surely would

Away, I'd rather sail away
Like a swan that's here and gone
A man gets tied up to the ground
He gives the world its saddest sound

Its saddest sound

I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet
Yes, I would
If I only could
I surely would
