One Love, One Life

Well, apparently U2's "One" is the most nation's most popular lyric. A great song, but as the vote asked for our favourite lyric, personally I would have preferred to see something a bit more meaty make it to the top spot. How about...
"I was standing on a noisy corner/I was waiting for the walking green/across the street he stood/and he played real good/on his clarinet, for free" - Joni Mitchell
"We used to say/there'll come the day/we'll all be making songs/oh finding better words/these ideas never lasted long" - Richard Thompson (Fairport Convention)
"I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand/walking through the streets of Soho in the rain" - Warren Zevon
"Make sure that he's hungry/make sure he's alone/get me a cheeseburger/and the New Rolling Stone" - Neil Young
"I never made the first team/I just made the first team laugh" - Billy Bragg
"There's something in the way she moves, or looks my way or calls my name/that seems to leave this troubled world behind" - James Taylor
"Once upon a time you dressed so fine/threw the bums a dime/in your prime/didn't you?" - Bob Dylan
"Half a mile from the county fair and the rain came pouring down/me and Billy standing there with a silver half a crown/had to get our fishing rods/and our tackle on our backs/we just stood there getting wet/with our backs against the fence" - Van Morrison
Those lyrics might not all be spot on but that's how I hear them! I'd like to hear what your favourite lyrics are, just let me know!
Anyway, a lot of those songs are getting on a bit, but that doesn't diminish their value, does it? In fact, they seem to have picked up more depth the longer they stick around. Speaking of which (and here comes the worst segue I have ever made), in October this year, the UK will finally catch up with so many other European countries and have proper age discrimination legislation in place, something I'm sure my previous correspondent George will be happy to hear about! The legislation will have a number of implications for recruitment companies, all of them positive, and as usual it will help to separate the good eggs from the bad.
Incidentally, ARM's new website is coming soon (the same place as the other one, but with a new look and feel), and will give you the opportunity to register your experiences and feelings about hot topics such as this, with a regular voting section. Until next time, good luck in your job searches and keep humming a happy tune!

"De do do do, de da da da, is all I want to say to you. De do do do, de da da da, their innocence will pull me through. De do do do, de da da da, is all I want to say to you. De do do do, de da da da,they're meaningless and all that's true"
(The Police).
I don't think I need to add anything to that. It means a lot to us all.

I think that Bob Dylan's message to all of us Jobsite jobseekers and participants is.... "May you build a ladder to the stars, and climb on every rung, and may you stay.....forever young.
