For those of you who haven't had the (dubious) pleasure of seeing me swing my hips to Nina Simone's "I got Life" song -- here are the best half of the lyrics:
Why am I alive anyway?
Yeah, what about God?
Nobody can take away
I got my hair, I got my head
I got my brains, I got my ears
I got my eyes, I got my nose I got my mouth,
I got my smile
I got my tongue, I got my chin
I got my neck, I got my boobs
I got my heart, I got my soul
I got my back, I got my sex
I got my arms, I got my hands
I got my fingers, got my legs
I got my feet, I got my toes
I got my liver,
Got my blood
I've got life ,
I've got my freedom
I've got the life
And I'm gonna keep it
I've got the life
And nobody's gonna take it away
I've got the life

Good grief - can you duck low enough or run fast enough? I'll get you next time..... ;)
Please don't put images of women (you or any other)swaying their hips to Nina Simone in my mind when I'm supposed to be writing a lecture. great lyrics though. Glad you're feeling less icky.

I dont know this NS song.... so I'll be wanting to hear it and get my own hips swaying next time I am round!

well, i think i may have to take a third year just so i can see you swing your hips to that!!!
@ Jean - have you considered a possible career as a TV
with bitching like that you'd be a natural!!!
@ Al & Graham - HI - I am pleased to see your comment .. thank-you.
@ Jean - well WHAT is the London Duck? I agree the editorial standards slipped in that email -- the earlier ref to Merc seems to have been lost! OOPss..
gosh - Merc would be offended to think I compared her to a thing like that! Sorry ... and talking of merc - does she appreciate the personalised number plate?
