Lyrics Du Jour - Thing of Beauty

Today's selection is from the Hothouse Flowers. In the 80's they were the "next big thing" to come out of Dublin, Ireland after (the story goes) Bono "discovered" them in an Irish Pub. I'm just glad their records made it to the U.S. so I could fall in love with their lyrics...selfish, huh? Below is just a small sampling:

"Look out your window on a winter's morning
Your breath is steam and there's frost falling
And the sun casts a spell upon the road
A thing of beauty is not a thing to ignore
Great song of beauty

Stand by the river on a moonlight evening
Lovers are loving and grievers are grieving
And the water does a dance upon the stones
I sit and listen, I will not ignore

A thing of beauty is not to be ignored
Can't you see (can't you see)
In the secrets of the dawn? (thing of beauty)
Can't you feel (can't you feel)
Can't you feel it in the place that you come from? (thing of beauty)

Face up to morning
Face up to day
Face up to reality
And face up to your ways"

Here's to finding the beauty in everything!
