takes you to Paulo Nutini singing Pencil full of Lead - about 2:45 of good time, ragtime, gratitude.

Lyrics below:(as best as I can hear them)

I got a sheet for my bed and a pillow for my head,
a pencil full of lead and water for my throat,
buttons on my coat and sails on my boat
so much more than I needed before
Money in the meter and a 2 bar heater
now it's getting hotter it's just getting sweeter

legs on my chair and a head full of hair
a pot and a pan and shoes for my feet
a shelf full of books and most of my teeth
a few pair of socks and a door with a lock
food in my belly and a licence for my telly
and nothings gonna gring me down

I got a nice guitar and tyres on my car,
most of the means and scripts for the scenes
I'm out and about so I'm in with a shout
a fair bit of chat but better than that
food in my belly and a licence for my telly
and nothin's gonna bring me down

But best of all I got my Baby
Best of all I got my baby
she's mighty fine and she's all mine and nothin's gonna bring me down

(mentally i change the last lines to......

But best of all I got sobriety
best of all I got sobriety
It's might fine and it'sall mine
and nothin's gonna bring me down.)

Anyway - enjoy, it bounces along and is a great start to the day.
