I've been getting all excited to watch Lost tonight. I sang Downtown this morning, as I was getting ready for work. Matthew and Emily helped to sing along, with their own personal variations in the lyrics. Emily substituted "uptown" for "downtown" and Matthew sang "back home." We had a good morning.
I believe this song was playing while Juliet burned somthing in the oven and then got in a fight with Ben at the book club meeting, just before the fateful plane crash of Flight 815.
Tonight, the episode Enter 77 airs. Locke, Sayid and Kate investigate a strange structure and its mysterious inhabitant; Sawyer competes in a pingpong competition to get back his belongings.
I think the strange character is the guy with the patch on his eye... how mysterious! They just keep adding puzzles with no answers. Maybe tonight it will finally make sense. Don't hold your breath.
DOWNTOWN Petula Clark
When you're alone, and life is making you lonely
You can always go
Downtown
When you've got worries, all the noise and hurry
Seems to help, I know
Downtown
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city,
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose? The lights are much brighter there...
You can forget all your troubles; forget all your cares, and go
Downtown -- things will be great when you're
Downtown -- you'll find a place for sure
Downtown -- everything's waiting for you
Downtown .... Downtown...
Don't hang around, and let your problems surround you,
There are movie shows
Downtown
Maybe you know some little places to go to
Where they never close
Downtown
Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle Bossa Nova
You'll be dancing with 'em too before the night is over,
Happy again...
The lights are much brighter there,
You can forget all your troubles; forget all your cares, and go
Downtown -- where all the lights are bright
Downtown -- waiting for you tonight
Downtown -- you're gonna be all right now...
Downtown...Downtown...Downtown...
Downtown!
Downtown!
