The Sarge's favorite song for the past few years.

 

He likes the live performance versions better than the studio recorded. They're more ... real.

 

 

 

Waiting For My Real Life To Begin

Colin Hay - some of you knew him as lead vocals for Men At Work in the 80's

 

 

 

Any minute now, my ship is coming in
I'll keep checking the horizon
I'll stand on the bow, feel the waves come crashing
Come crashing down down down, on me

And you say, be still my love
Open up your heart
Let the light shine in
But don't you understand
I already have a plan
I'm waiting for my real life to begin

When I awoke today, suddenly nothing happened
But in my dreams, I slew the dragon
And down this beaten path, up this cobbled lane
I'm walking in my old footsteps, once again

And you say, just be here now
Forget about the past, your mask is wearing thin
Just let me throw one more dice
I know that I can win
I'm waiting for my real life to begin

Any minute now, my ship is coming in
I'll keep checking the horizon
And I'll check my machine, there's sure to be that call
It's gonna happen soon, soon, oh so very soon
It's just that times are lean

And you say, be still my love
Open up your heart, let the light shine
Don't you understand
I already have a plan
I'm waiting for my real life to begin

On a clear day I can see, see for a long way
On a clear day I can see, see for a long way.

Great song.  I wouldn't have recognized him as he looks like Robert Duval now but that voice is unmistakable.  I still listen to Men At Work.  Liked them since I was like 10 or something.
