Wrap her pretty little frame around a telephone pole”

“And the caravan is painted red and white
That means ev’rybody’s staying overnight
Barefoot gypsy player round the campfire sing and play
And a woman tells us of her ways
everybody sing La, la, la, la…”

(Van Morison in Caravan)

When you’re hungry in Brussels

A snack stall among skyscrapers in Brussels

“Well, I asked for something to eat
I’m hungry as a hog
So I get brown rice, seaweed
And a dirty hot dog
I’ve got a hole
Where my stomach disappeared
Then you ask why I don’t live here
Honey, I gotta think you’re really weird”

(Bob Dylan in On the road again)
Brussels (B)

Red & White on high heels

A red and white striped traffic barrier atop several concrete blocks

“‘Cause I’m full-grown with my high-heels on
Wanna chase me? Come on, like let’s go
Now don’t you wanna know, don’t you wanna know?
I think it’s time you be about it”

(Toni Braxton in Lookin’ at Me)

These lions probably don’t bite

Two statues of a lion at the entrance to a house.

“A Candy Lion’s very good,
Because he cannot bite,
Nor wander roaring for his food,
Nor eat up folks at night.”

(E. Farwell Brown in The candy lion)
Dison (B)
