Temporary obsessions

Death in Venice, Marvin Gaye and ukulele.

Talking about Death in Venice on radio on Monday evening, hearing the Marvin Gaye track of my choice, and me and 2 chums are making our uke debut at the Sing with Pride Singaround on Wednesday.

You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today
Picket line and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on
Yeah, what's going on
Ah, what's going on ....
Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today.

Written by Al Cleveland, Marvin Gaye and Renaldo Benson in 1970.
