Meatloaf…

Em.. If you heard someone singing Meat Loaf this morning at the crack a dawn, somewhere between 5:00 – 6:00am, it was me.  I am sorry but my lungs and voicebox rarely get the chance to collaborate and allow themselves to burst into a fully fledged song.  If you did hear it, you can’t complain too much cuz I was whizzing by so quickly on my bike that you would have only caught a sentence or too and you would have had a nice fade in, fade out effect.  That would have been quite soothing for you I’d imagine, no?

Meatloaf’s Bat out of Hell was the album of choice this morning and is always good for a sing-a-long.
 


I had only one ipod earphone in, as I needed the other ear for the road.  I know all the words of all the songs on that album and I took great pleasure in hamming it up:

I poured it on and I poured it out,
I tried to show you just how much I care,
I’m tired of words and Im too hoarse to shout,
But you’ve been cold to me so long,
I’m crying icicles instead of tears…

I like imagining I am a big fat man with long hair and I am wearing a white frilly silk shirt when I am singing that song, I actually feel like I am Meat Loaf and that I have just been dumped for the umpteenth time and I sing this song like it is the final straw…

 

…And she kept on telling me
She kept on telling me
She kept on telling me..

At one stage, I got so carried away, that I jumped off my bike, whipped it close to my chest and started strumming the spokes. That was kinda embarrassing…
