A thoughtful exit is compulsory
really real
from the Book of Revelations that comes with the latest Uncut Magazine.
They have a feature where they take an opening line from a famous song,
and feed it through five phrase books:
English-Portuguese-Urdu-German-Japanese- English.
Thus, they get the lines:
"A thoughtful exit is compulsory/happily inform the felon" from All
Along the Watchtower': "There must be some kind of way out of here/said
the joker to the thief"
The other one I liked was from I Heard it Through the Grapevine:
"I bet you're wondering how I knew/'bout your plans to make me blue"
becomes: "I wager you were surprised by the exposure of your mischievous
blueprint."
And from I Say a Little Prayer's "The moment I wake up/before I put on
my make-up/I say a little prayer for you" becomes: "My morning ablutions
are preceded by worship"
