Song of the Week.

For some reason I'm in a bit of a boxer/fighter mood lately. This happens to me sometimes. 

I just want to watch really good action movies with lots of awesome fighting scenes and play with my heavy bag until my arms are ready to fall off.
(I know it's not the most feminine thing in the world, but it's fantastic for relieving stress. *Nods knowingly*)

Anyway, I have literally been singing the last verse of this song all day long. It's my favorite part of the whole song.

The Boxer is one of those songs that I only listen to sometimes, (though it comes on at my work pretty frequently) and it reminds me of...well, fighters mostly. Go figure.
And since I'm in that mood, I went through and found all my favorite fighters and put them to the song.

I don't usually do post that are this graphically intensive. I apologize in advance for how long this might take to load. *wink*

So, press play and scroll, okay?

~The Boxer~

I am just a poor boy

Though my story seldom told

Source

I squandered my resistance

For a pocket full of mumbles such are promises

Source

All lies and jests

Still a man hears

Source

What he wants to hear

And disregards the rest

When I left my home and my family

I was no more than a boy

Source

In the company of strangers

In the quiet of the railway stations running scared

Laying low seeking out the poor quarters

Where the ragged people go

Source

Looking for the places

Only they would know

Asking only workman's wages

I come looking for a job

But I get no offers

Source

Just a come on

From the girl on seventh avenue

I do declare there were times

When I was so lonesome

I took some comfort there

Source

Then I'm laying down my winter clothes

Source

And wishing I was home-- going home

Soucre

Where the New York City winters

Aren't bleeding me, leading me going home

In the clearing stands a boxer 

Source

Source

And a fighter by his trade

Source

Sourcce

And he carries the reminder of every glove that laid him down

Source

And cut him till he cried out in his anger and his shame

Source

I am leaving I am leaving but the fighter still remains

Source

I hope you guys enjoyed that. If not, I totally did, and since it's my blog, that's the important thing, right? *Grin*

Goodnight, and God Bless!
