...This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man...

You can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning.
The expedition wasn't burdened with an overabundance of common sense.

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.
So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say.

A battle cry
"Let's get it on!"

But I get up again,
You're never gonna keep me down!"

This video had really heavy air-play for awhile and for several years on the Trail, you heard people singing along, especially after they'd just taken a bad one.
