i know I'm showing my age but I've always wanted to see this song to be put to some kiting footage ...

its called "kite" by U2 and although the music isn't the best the lyrics are spot on ...



Anyone whose any good at that sort of thing wanna give it a crack ?

Something is about to give
I can feel it coming
I think I know what it means
I'm not afraid to die
I'm not afraid to live
And when I'm flying on my kite
I hope to feel like I did

And hardness, it sets in
You need some protection
The thinner the skin

I want you to know
That you don't need me anymore
I want you to know
You don't need anyone or anything at all

Who's to say where the wind will take you
Who's to say what it is will break you
I don't know which way the wind will blow
Who's to know when the time's come around
Don't want to see you cry
I know that this is not goodbye

In summer I can taste the salt in the sea
There's a kite blowing out of control on a breeze
I wonder what's gonna happen to you
You wonder what has happened to me
I'm
a man, I'm not a child
A man who sees
The shadow behind your eyes
Who's to say where the wind will take you
Who's to say what it is will break you
I don't know where the wind will blow
Who's to know when the time's come around
Don't want to see you cry
I know that this is not goodbye
Did I waste it?
Not so much I couldn't taste it
Life should be fragrant
Roof top to the basement
The last of the rockstars
When hip-hop drove the big cars
In the time when new media
Was the big idea
That was the big idea

The lyrics are spot on Eppo.

Bit deep for a Friday morning though

When you go kiting early and 10 other guys crash you party. FNM describes them well...

You did one thing wrong
You woke up
It looked better before
More, more
And the stomach turns
Say nothing without wasting a word
I know exactly what you meantI know how piggy feels
He starves without missing a meal
Look in the mirrorDon't look at me
I'm ugly in the morningWhen the headache is gone,
The sun is not.
Forgot to turn the alarm
On, onDoesn't matter how much you think
Or the number of hairs in the sink
I did it to myself againI know how piggy feels
He starves without missing a meal
It's getting clearer

i think the divinyls summed kiting up best with one line

".....i touch myself..."

Fair point. I'll try that too once gravity makes mine funny shaped also. I heard they come with a high vis and easily accessible bag. Enjoy lads.

Gotta admit Eppo it actually is a fun game. Especially WA style i.e. barefoot, light breeze, a cool one in the free hand. Pre or post kite session. Bless

Oh yeh there's not much quality bowling going on... just an excuse to drink, talk ****e etc and have a winner.

but what I'm gathering is it's a bit like golf, you think you've getting some idea about the game and the next bowl then goes in the damn gutter.

Probably like foilers ..??

Anyhow about that song .... anyone?

Either the U2 song or docs song will do ....
