about

A song which is in no way whatsoever about green leafy vegetables.

By S N Walsh

lyrics

He sits in absolute silence, a quiet defiance inside
And though he flips the switch, it's not his fault the sun shines
And with all that he's done, there's no room left for him to die
How far can you run when you've killed your alibi?

And he's just a statistic, the Lighthouse Major
Must be nice… must be nice
Must be nice to be the Lighthouse Major

He's known for miles around but never for his face
And not a soul would know if somebody took his place
He can see the world from his tower on the shore
But he won't be content till he's seen the stars once more

But he's just a statistic, the Lighthouse Major
Must be nice… must be nice
Must be nice to be the Lighthouse Major

He could see behind the sun, feel the world turn as he runs
He could count every star at night, if he could just turn off that light

He used to be someone and he'd like to be again
He doesn't realize how unimportant he was then
If he'd only see all the great things he has done
He wouldn't cry at night and he would not have that gun

(That's called foreshadowing!)

Now he's just a statistic, the Lighthouse Major
Must be nice… must be nice
Must be nice to be the Lighthouse Major

When the gun went off that night, he thought he'd done what was right
But all he did in the end was to kill his only friend

Now he's finally in the dark, now the Major counts the stars

Must be nice… must be nice
Must be nice to be the Lighthouse Major
Must be nice… must be nice
Must be nice to be the Lighthouse Major

From 1979-1999, Pluto's eccentric orbit placed it closer to the sun than Neptune. Therefore, earth immigrant (b.1980, Zigian Air Fields, Neptune) indeed comes from the farthest planet in our system. I hate to think we Neptunians are so petty, but support for planetary demotion of Pluto was very high on the blue giant, and I can’t help but think it’s because we like being far out - the farthest! ... more
