    The One-Eyed One-Horned Flying Purple People Eater

    Well I saw the thing coming out of the sky
    It had one long horn and one big eye
    I commenced to shakin' and I said oo-wee
    It looks like a purple people eater to me
    It was a one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater
    Sure looks good to me

    Well, he came down to earth and he lit in a tree
    I said mr Purple People Eater don't eat me
    I heard him say in a voice so gruff
    I wouldn't eat you 'cos you're too tough
    It was a one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater
    It sure looks strange to me

    I said mr Purple People Eater what's your line
    He said eating purple people and it sure is fine
    But that's not the reason that I came to land
    I wanna get a job in a rock 'n roll band
    Well, bless my soul rock 'n roll flying' purple people eater
    Pigeon-toed under-growed flyin' purple people eater
    one-eyed one-horned it was a people eater
    What a sight to see

    Well, he swung from the tree and he lit on the ground
    he started to rock really rockin' around
    It was a crazy ditty with a swinging tune
    Wop bop a lula wop bam boom
    one-eyes one-horned flying people eater
    Ooh, it sure looks strange to me

    Well he went on his way and then what do you know
    I saw him last night on a TV show
    He was a blowin' it out and really knockin' them dead
    Playing rock 'n roll music through the horn in his head


    Purple Haze

    Purple haze all in my brain
    Lately things just don't seem the same
    Actin' funny, but I don't know why
    'Scuse me while I kiss the sky

    Purple haze all around
    Don't know if I'm comin' up or down
    Am I happy or in misery?
    Whatever it is, that girl put a spell on me

    Help me help me
    Oh no no... no

    Yeah
    Purple haze all in my eyes
    Don't know if it's day or night
    You've got me blowin, blowin my mind
    Is it tomorrow or just the end of time?

    No, help me aw yeah! oh no no oh help me...

    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    Just posting quickly to say that I'm in this week and trying for minimum of 1 HHC every day, decluttering and/or cleaning my way from dot to dot.

    I will also light a candle tomorrow.

    Thanks for the encouragement, Mrs B.
  • Hi all

    After serious words from DH this weekend (aka Miserable Old Git...!) I think I really need to have a go at joining in with you, if thats OK .... ! I start things with such good intentions but never manage to keep to them but I PROMISE to really try with this !
    Most likely I wont be able to do all the things listed as I sadly, and embarrasingly, have to admit that our home is just mega untidy (kind of like a bomb has hit it !) and most rooms need a MASSIVE sort out/declutter/tidy up and clean before I can even start at the basics ... anyways I will do what I can and have to make a start somewhere I guess, if I dont start I am never going to get anywhere....

    Sorry for the waffle, and thanks for letting me join in. I had come across MSD before when lurking on the OS daily thread and she did seem such a lovely person so she will be included in my thoughts today and I will light a candle for her later...

    My plans , from the list today follow, have quite a busy day (dog walking, part time job, afternoon meeting a friend at the garden centre for something to eat).

    Monday ~ Living room/family room or other reception room!
    Level One

    Declutter and vacuum the floors!
    Wear something purple light a candle and remember Diva and other people we no longer have with us but carry forever in our hearts
    Level Two
    Vacuum under furniture you can safely move!
    Dust and deweb..
    Level Three
    Polish glass, mirrors and pictures
    Fill a binbag of clutter and fling it
    Extras
    1. Wash any soft furnishings that are ickified
    2. If you are able/weather permitting go do your necessary garden jobs - will sort through my seeds.

    Morning all.

    I lit a candle for Diva last night but will def light another one today. It was a purple scented one - I might burn a purple wax tart later too for good measure. :D

    I'm at home today so I too pledge to finish today's list.

    Xx
