Well it's yet another Beerday here at the office. Gotta love themed work days. Today is "Hansel & Gretel" day so I've left a trail of sweets about the office and it seems to be a hit so far.
I've picked a theme tune today that's somewhat based on the Wizard of Oz by Breaking Benjamin simply titled "Home".
I really like this one. While it's got a kind of fairy tale feel I think it really does sum so many things up. While life is full of black and white decisions it's a lot more colourful than that.
This one opens with the sample from the move: "I'll get you my pretty, and your little dog too... Hahahahahahaha..."
I've got a little red bow
And I bought it for you
'Cause I know you're not fair
I don't get it, oh well
And you color my skin
And the colors don't blend
'Cause I'm gonna get you
And your little dog too
There's a yellow brick road
That we follow back home
And I know you can't wait
Your belligerent hate
There's no place like home
There's no place like... home
Like
Home
I've got a southern belle too
In her ruby-red shoes
With a body of straw
Are you sick of it all?
There's a man made of tin
With an oil-can grin
And I'm gonna get you
And your little dog too
There's a yellow brick road
That we follow back home
And I know you can't wait
Your belligerent hate
There's no place like home
There's no place like home
There's a little white porch
And you wanted it so
Can you let me go down
To the end of the road?
In the black and the white
A technicolorful life
Can I stand by your side?
We can make it alright
I'm home
'Cause I'm home
There's a little white porch
And you wanted it so
Can you let me go down
To the end of the road?
In the black and the white
A technicolorful life
Then another arrived
It's a cowardly lion
What I want from this world
What I want to resolve
Well, I want you to stay
So I want you to wait
I don't wanna be bold
I don't wanna be cold
I don't wanna grow old
I wanna go home
I guess that sums it up, I wanna go home.

Oh my goodness ... this is just such a feel-good post. From the trail of sweets in the office to the memories of Oz!!
ReplyDeleteWhen I grow my staff I'm so having theme days in the office ;-)
Just loved the Wizard of Oz.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing at just how much home represents. For all of us. It's our place... oddly enough it doesn't even have to be a dwelling, it could be a place a person or just a thing. Guess that's why home really is where the heart is.
