The Bug by Dire Straits

Well it's a strange old game - you learn it slow
One step forward and it's back to go
You're standing on the throttle
You're standing on the brakes
In the groove 'til you make a mistake
Sometimes you're the windshield
Sometimes you're the bug
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you're a fool in love
Sometimes you're the louisville slugger
Sometimes you're the ball
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you're going lose it all
You gotta know happy - you gotta know glad
Because you're gonna know lonely
And you're gonna know bad
When you're rippin' and a ridin'
And you're coming on strong
You start slippin' and slidin'
And it all goes wrong because
Sometimes you're the windshield
Sometimes you're the bug
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you're a fool in love
Sometimes you're the louisville slugger baby
Sometimes you're the ball
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you're going lose it all
One day you got the glory
One day you got none
One day you're a diamond
And then you're a stone
Everything can change
In the blink of an eye
So let the good times roll
Before we say goodbye, because
Sometimes you're the windshield
Sometimes you're the bug
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you're a fool in love
Sometimes you're the louisville slugger baby
Sometimes you're the ball
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you're going lose it all
AND SOMETIMES A CIGAR IS JUST A CIGAR

I like most bugs and I feel guilty when I accidentally kill them

However, I feel no remorse when I kill mosquitos, flies, wasps, the poisonous ones, and the ones I'm forgetting

Since I know you're in Hawaii right now, look out for the yellow centipedes

I've seen one - eeeh they're creepy and their bite can range in pain from a bee sting to a shotgun wound

Now that we've made it through most of the unpleasant ones, bugs are cool

Dire Straits are not - they've always bugged me

Heh heh

No but seriously, my Dad and Sister love these guys and listened to them all throughout my childhood

Meh

If I had to be a bug, I'd be a dragonfly

Last night I watched the episode of magnum P.I. where he gets bit by a centipede and trapped under an old war on plane. I was hoping you would get bit by one when you were in Hawaii but I guess a bad sunburn will have to be enough. I used to get dire straights mixed up with men down under. Both were okay. But I hate vegimite.
