“half past dead”

a friend asked me which song this is from and for the life of me, I can’t seem to figure it out.  (and I’m usually pretty damn good at that if I do say so myself)  Just been a fucking shitty week.  what am i missing?   please, and thank you very much.  

 

The Weight

I pulled into Nazareth, was feeling 'bout half past dead
I just need some place where I can lay my head
Hey, mister, can you tell me, where a man might find a bed?
He just grinned and shook my hand, "No" was all he said.

Pulled into Bethlehem, I was feeling ‘bout half-past dead 

good call TOD

edit: whoops, Nazareth. I’m bad at the Bible 

 

omg oh fuck that’s like lyrics 101 for stupid ppl.  like I said, it’s been a shitty fucking week, yesterday in particular was pretty rough. thank you all.  if i don’t keep forgetting my password here, plan on staying awhile again. 

❤️ viva la zone ❤️

hahahahaha Bucky lolol. 

Hope you have a better week.

thanks me too.  I appreciate it.  But there are countless ppl having way worse weeks than me so ya know, perspective and all that. 

Peglet, wishing you a strong U-turn and better days ahead.

All the best, Peg. Good to see you here. 

What the hell does the Weight mean?

thanks its not even me I’m sad for, just feeling the tremendous loss of a friend whose absence here is going to be so devastatingly tough for so many.

hey Floopsie 

The Weight is universally catchier/more enigmatic/more cryptic  than Take a Load off Fannie I’m guessing.  lol

So is "half past dead" anything like being "half simple"?

well a super-DH friend sent it to a mutual non-DH friend (her cousin) hours before she unexpectedly but not totally surprisingly in retrospect passed the other night and so my friend assumed  it was a GD reference and asked me who was too stupid to figure it out.   Just really really really really fucking sad to the nth degree.  

and she, my friend who asked, took it as maybe she “knew”, which is why she wanted to know where those words came from, assuming her cuz was trying to tell her she was about to leave this world.  I personally think if that was her actual intent, she would have used different lyrics as we all the the GD had a plethora of relevant from completely obscure to completely obvious death-related lyrics from which to choose. 

So sorry about your friend, Peglette.

Happy to see you, your Pegness, and so sorry about the tough week. Mine took a sudden turn to the worse, too, and here we are.

sorry to hear your week turning in the wrong direction as well Judit.  I sure hope things change for the better for all of us.  Good to be back ❤️❤️

thank you Surfdead.  It’s pretty sad for so many. 

I'm very sorry to hear it, Peg :(

And for Judit too :(

Nazareth Pa = Martin Guitars

Miss Fanny sent him there, she took the load off her and put it on him.

Hey, Peg.  The cat arrived and felt like shit. Please give a no shit Sherlock.
