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, and 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
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, soon
It's just that times are lean


Its Saturday! All day I've been thinking its Sunday, and I had been dreading going to work tomorrow, because I wanted just one more day to sit around and rest. Well, now I get it, and I can't wait for work on Monday.

Also, my band, nixon, was mentioned in yesterday's Star Tribune by local music writer Chris Riemenschneider:

Also performing tonight at the 400 is Nixon, another new trio whose five-song EP offers a promising, downbeat, Britpoppy sound (think Verve or less grandiose Coldplay). Love the band name, too.

Now, I don't know if I necessarily agree with his description of the sound, I never would have considered us Britpoppy, but I can't even begin to explain how exciting it is to be mentioned in the Strib, and to have a good (if brief) review, absolutely blows me away.
