Every time i think of you
I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue

The memories of a man in his old age
Are the deeds of a man in his prime.
You shuffle in gloom of the sickroom
And talk to yourself as you die.
Life is a short, warm moment
And death is a long cold rest.
You get your chance to try in the twinkling of an eye:
Eighty years, with luck, or even less.
So all aboard for the American tour,
And maybe you'll make it to the top.
And mind how you go, and I can tell you, 'cause I know
You may find it hard to get off.
You are the angel of death
And I am the dead man's son.
And he was buried like a mole in a fox hole.
And everyone is still in the run.
And who is the master of fox hounds?
And who says the hunt has begun?
And who calls the tune in the courtroom?
And who beats the funeral drum?

surely the Great Doxology is a worthy rival...
Slava v vyshnikh Bogu, i na zemli mir,
v chelovecekh blagovolenie.
Khvalim Tja, blagoslovim Tja,
Indeed... but I have always preferred Vespers to Matins - and the basso profundo bottom Bb's are something perculiarly Russian and fabulous.
If you are going to stick with the Matins theme, then I would prefer the Alternative Resurrection Troparian...
Voskres iz groba i uzy rasterzal esi ada,
razrushil esi osuzhdeniye smerti, Gospodi...

well, all right...
Pretty girl on the hood of a cadillac, yeah
She's broken down on Freeway 9.
Great choice... that is one of Chabal's favourites!
Where it began,
I can't begin to know when,
But then I know it's growing strong...

Don't start me talking, I could talk all night
My mind goes sleepwalking, While I'm putting the world to rights...

When the world, leaves you feeling blue,
You can count on me, I will be there for you...
You can count on me, I will be there for you...

would you write and tell the king or would you grab a tent and join 'em
