    I don't got HD TV but I got insulation

    I got no Lamborghini's, but I got vaccinations

    I got a microwave, I got some pocket change

    And even if I didn't, dude, pssh, no complaints

    Tonight if you see me knocking on wood

    That's just because I'm doing so fucking good

    I don't hate my life, no, it's going alright

    That's why tonight you see me knocking on wood

    Spose - Knocking on Wood

    Apologies for the extended quote. This whole song serves as a reminder that we always have something to be thankful for. There’s humor in it, but the sentiment is sincere and delivered in a catchy song.

    Edit: why the flip won’t Lemmy respect line breaks??

      replying to your edit: it’s because it’s a reddit clone. In order to have an actual newline, you need to add two spaces at the end of your sentence.

    Kind of a niche reference, but one that’s been stuck in my head lately is Pedro the Lion’s “if I still say ‘here I am’ when something wakes me up at 4 AM … How could this be goodbye?”

    Given and Denied - Poets of the Fall

    "Give me back my innocence cos I wish to dream again

    Like I never outgrew my old playground

    Where the sun sets slowly with a golden crown and the leaves sing lullabies 'round vacant swings

    Give me those wings"
