Anglesey /ˈæŋɡəlsi/ (Welsh: Ynys Môn) [ˈənɨs ˈmoːn], is an island and, as Isle of Anglesey, a county off the north west coast of Wales. Two bridges, spanning the Menai Strait, connect it to the mainland: the original Menai Suspension Bridge (carrying the A5), designed by Thomas Telford in 1826; and the more recently rebuilt Britannia Bridge (replacing the original designed by Robert Stephenson), which carries the A55 and the North Wales Coast Railway Line. Historian and author John Davies argues that it was during the tumultuous 10th century that the Norse name for Môn, Anglesey, came into existence; the name was later adopted into English after Anglo-Norman occupiers arrived to conquer the island during the Norman invasions of Gwynedd.
The name Anglesey was later used in the English language as a county name which included Holy Island and other nearby small islands. About half of the inhabitants can speak, read and write Welsh as well as English, and 70% have a knowledge of Welsh. Once the Welsh language was granted equal status in government with the Welsh Language Act of 1993, the representative constituency names for the island were changed to the Welsh name of the island, Ynys Môn (UK Parliament constituency) in the UK parliament, and Ynys Môn (Assembly constituency) in the National Assembly for Wales. With an area of 714 square kilometres (276 sq mi), Anglesey is the largest Welsh island, the sixth largest surrounding the island of Great Britain, and the largest island in the Irish Sea ahead of the Isle of Man.
Baron Paul Hill (born June 23, 1953) is the former U.S. Representative for Indiana's 9th congressional district, serving from 1999 to 2005 and from 2007 to 2011. He is a member of the Democratic Party.
The district is located in the southeastern part of the state and stretches from Bloomington to the Indiana side of the Louisville metropolitan area.
Hill was a three-sport athlete at Seymour High School, where he was all-state in football and basketball. He was inducted into the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame in 2000.
Hill accepted an athletic scholarship to Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina; where he earned a bachelor's degree in history in 1975. After graduation, he moved back to Seymour and joined his family's insurance and real estate business.
Hill was a member of the Indiana House of Representatives from 1982 to 1990. He served as chairman of the Caucus Campaign Committee, where he helped elect a Democratic majority in the House.
In 1990, Hill ran against Senator Dan Coats to fill the last two years of Dan Quayle's term; Quayle had been elected Vice President. He lost, 54% to 46%. Hill made a name for himself during that campaign by walking the length of the state, from the Ohio River to Lake Michigan, to meet with voters.
From time to time
I'll meet the boys for one or two rounds
But I don't mind
Letting somebody else close the bar down
Most of my wilder days have come and gone
But there's one habit I'm still depending on
Your love is the good kind of high
I'm gonna keep on to the day that I die
I'm just trying to drink it all up
I'm never gonna get enough
So go on, fill it up to the top
I'll take all the hugs and the kisses you got
When it comes to your sweet love
I'm never gonna get enough
Jack and Coke
And I'm sure to say something I'll regret
Jose Cuervo
And I could wind up in my old truck bed
So when I need a little something now
To pick me up and not let me down
Your love is the good kind of high
I'm gonna keep on to the day that I die
I'm just trying to drink it all up
I'm never gonna get enough
So go on, fill it up to the top
I'll take all the hugs and the kisses you got
When it comes to your sweet love
I'm never gonna get enough
So go on, fill it up to the top
I'll take all the hugs and the kisses you got
When it comes to your sweet love
I'm never gonna get enough
Give me more of that good stuff
Outside the courthouse on 5th and vine
There's a hundred people holdin' up their homemade signs
They say they'll be there sunshine or rain
'Til somebody listens, 'til somethin's changed
Believers, believers
They gotta little more faith than the world has doubt
The earth might shake but they stand their ground
And God only knows where we'd be without believers
They were a couple o' kids with cheap weddin' bands
They didn't have nothin' but big ole plans
Thirty five years later, they're still goin' strong
Aw but they're not surprised, they knew it all along
Believers, believers
They gotta little more faith than the world has doubt
The earth might shake but they stand their ground
And God only knows where we'd be without believers
Eighty nine years old and a momma still prays
That her wayward son will find his way
There's a telephone call that makes her cry
It's her son sayin', momma, I've seen the light
Everybody told her she was wastin' her time
Believers, believers
They gotta little more faith than the world has doubt
The earth might shake but they stand their ground
I was just plannin' on comin' in here
For one beer
Maybe shoot a little pool
Shoot the bull and get outta here
But you walked in in that little dress
And my eyes about popped out of my head
Took me a minute to catch my breath
Now I can't stop starin' at you
The more I look, the more I like
The more I wanna take you home tonight
The more that I don't want this night to end
The more you talk, the more I listen
The more I'm thinkin' 'bout me kissin' you
Holdin' that rockin' body close to mine
The more I look, the more I look, the more I like
Well, here we are
And the clocks are knockin' on midnight
I got twenty bucks left down
To drink the bar out of Bud Light
If you wanna go another round
There's a dusty dirt road that we can roll down
To the Blue Hole a couple miles out of town
Baby, we can go right now
The more I look, the more I like
The more I wanna take you home tonight
The more that I don't want this night to end
The more you talk, the more I listen
The more I'm thinkin' 'bout me kissin' you
Holdin' that rockin' body close to mine
The more I look, the more I look, the more I like
A little while we'll just find in that look in your eyes
Says you might wanna jump on in
Well, I don't mind, that will be just fine
I wanna see that moonlight on your skin
The more I look, the more I like
The more I wanna take you home tonight
The more that I don't want this night to end
The more you talk, the more I listen
The more I'm thinkin' 'bout me kissin' you
Holdin' that rockin' body close to mine
The more I look, the more I look, the more I like
The bills are late, the grass is brown
Got the only porch that's falling down
In the neighborhood
But it's all good
Work is slow, could use more pay
Ain't no hero gonna save the day
Like in Hollywood
But it's all good
'Cause it's a sunny day, I got a beer
Gonna drink it sitting here in the shade
I'm as happy as a man could be
As long as you're here next to me, I got it made
The cable's out, the screen door's stuck
And that old truck, it doesn't start right up
The way it should
But it's all good
'Cause it's a sunny day, I got a beer
Gonna drink it sitting here in the shade
I'm as happy as a man could be
As long as you're here next to me, I got it made
I don't get blue, I don't get mad
If I've learned one thing from the year I've had
It's even if it all goes bad
It's all good
She likes daisies over diamonds
You ought to see her face when I bring them home
She spends most her morning talking to Jesus
And at night it's wine and an old Keith Whitley song
Yeah, she makes me sing along
She's just like that, that's just how she is
She's a honeysuckle sweet but boy, she's a ball of fire
She's pure as rain on Sunday
And for me, well, she'd walk through hell and back
She's just like that
She don't complain about too much
But ain't afraid to stop me when I'm in the wrong
Putting up with me ain't always easy
How that woman does it, heaven only knows
'Cause hell, I sure don't
She's just like that, that's just how she is
She's a honeysuckle sweet but boy, she's a ball of fire
She's pure as rain on Sunday
And for me, she'd walk through hell and back
She's just like that
She's just like that, that's just how she is
She's a honeysuckle sweet but boy, she's a ball of fire
She's pure as rain on a Sunday
And for me, she'd walk through hell and back
She said "I'm going out with my girlfriends.
Margaritas at the Holiday Inn".
Oh have mercy... my only thought,
Was tequila makes her clothes fall off.
I told her put an extra layer on!
I know what happens when she drinks Patrón.
Her closet's missing half the things she bought
Yeah, tequila makes her clothes fall off.
She'll start by kicking out of her shoes.
Lose an earring in her drink.
Leave her jacket in the bathroom stall.
Drop a contact down the sink.
Them pantyhose ain't gonna last too long,
If the DJ puts Bon Jovi on.
She might come home in a tablecloth,
Yeah tequila makes her clothes fall off.
She can handle any champagne brunch.
A bridal shower with Bacardi punch.
Jello shooters full of Smirnoff,
But tequila makes her clothes fall off.
She'll start by kicking out of her shoes.
Lose an earring in her drink.
Leave her jacket in the bathroom stall.
Drop a contact down the sink.
She don't mean nothing,
She's just having fun.
Tomorrow she'll say, "Oh, what have I done?"
Her friends will joke about the stuff she lost.
Yeah, Tequila makes her clothes fall off.
Oh, Tequila makes her clothes fall off.
Might be the way your hair falls on your shoulder
Or the sparkle in your baby blues
All I know is you hypnotize me
And I can't take my eyes off you.
You say it's a postcard sunset
But any painter would envy the view
Girl I have to take your word for it
Cause I can't take my eyes off you
You could tell me there's two full moons
Hangin' up there in the sky.
That a thousand stars are fallin'
And a comet just flew by.
Wish I could turn my head and see that too
But I can't take my eyes off you,
Girl I can't take my eyes off you.
You could tell me there's two full moons
Hangin' up there in the sky.
That a thousand stars are fallin'
And a comet just flew by.
Wish I could turn my head and see that too
But I can't take my eyes off you,
Oh, I can't take my eyes off you.
Might be the way your hair falls on your shoulder
Or the sparkle in your baby blues
All I know is you hypnotize me
And I can't take my eyes off you,
No I can't take my eyes off you,
She got her smile on, doggone, nothing in the world's wrong
We're rolling down a country road
She's my shotgun rider, I'm a lucky dog beside her
My lips are where her kisses go
She loves when we go to the river and get in the water
And buddy, she's hotter than south Georgia in July
Man, when I'm with her I can't get enough of her
I got to kiss her and I got to hug her and brother she's mine all mine
This ole boy got it going on, I got the good Lord smiling on me
Her big blue eyes and the sweet red wine got me buzzing like a bee
She's got her pretty little head on my shoulder
Nobody else gets to hold her but this ole boy
We're in my old Ford, oh Lord, holes in my floor board
But she don't seem to mind
We park in a hay field, fog up the windshield
My kind of killing time
She sweetens my tea and butters my biscuit
I am who I am and brother she gets it, I ain't got to change a thing
I don't know if it could get any better
But man, if it does then I reckon I better get to picking out a ring
This ole boy got it going on, I got the good Lord smiling on me
Her big blue eyes and the sweet red wine got me buzzing like a bee
She's got her pretty little head on my shoulder
Nobody else gets to hold her but this ole boy
This ole boy got it going on, I got the good Lord smiling on me
Her big blue eyes and a sweet red wine's got me buzzing like a bee
She's got her pretty little head on my shoulder
Nobody else get to hold her, this ole boy, oh, this ole boy
I was sittin' outside in the front yard
Lawn chair, kiddie pool, soakin' up the sun
Old man walks by and said, "We got this thing called ambition
Why don't you buy a suit and go get you some?"
Like he ain't got enough of his own business
Now he's got to go mindin' mine
Opportunity knocks and I miss it
It ain't no crime, it ain't no crime
If I wanna kick back and kill a little time
It ain't no crime
I was gettin' some pink in my color
Next door the lady says, "Why you always layin' around?
A fine you man like you should be married with some children
Instead of all these honeys runnin' in and out"
Like she ain't got enough of her own business
Now she's got to go mindin' mine
I don't have a lotta kids and a Mrs.
It ain't no crime, it ain't no crime
If I wanna kick back and steal a kiss sometime
It ain't no crime
If everybody minded their own business
They'd be too busy to worry 'bout mine
If I live life the way I wanna live it
It ain't no crime, it ain't no crime
If I wanna kick back and chill
Or steal a kiss from a girl I will every time
I was sittin' in a chair at the H and R Block
Some bean countin' pencil pusher runnin' up the clock
Said, "I've tallied up your numbers through the end of the year
Son you spent a small fortune on liquor and beer"
I said, "It's cheaper than a shrink"
You don't have to think
You just pour and drink
It's sixteen-fifty for a bottle of Jack
No pouring out your heart to some high dollar quack
Just a flip of the wrist and you're gettin' it done
And gettin' just as messed up and havin' a lot more fun
And it's cheaper than a shrink
You don't have to think
You just pour and drink
It's cheaper than a shrink
Now me and her had this little problem between us
Tryin' to bridge the gap between Mars and Venus
She said, "Honey, I think we need to see a marital counselor"
I said, "All we need to do is slam a case of twelve ouncers"
'Cause it's cheaper than a shrink
You don't have to think
You just pour and drink
'Bout eighteen bucks I'll getcha four six-packs
No pourin' out your heart to some high dollar quack
Just a flip of the wrist and you're gettin' it done
Gettin' just as messed up and havin' a lot more fun
And it's cheaper than a shrink
You don't have to think
You just pour and drink
And it's cheaper than a shrink
If the liquor prices soar as high as gasoline
Well, I'd have quit drinkin' back when I was nineteen
It's the oldest most proven form of therapy
The best thing about it, far as I can see
Is that it's cheaper than a shrink
You don't have to think
You just pour and drink
And it's cheaper than a shrink
Oh, you just pour and drink
And it's a whole lot cheaper than
Some big town clock hound
She's not that good a driver
And it's not that good a car
There's rain on that horizon
She's never gone that far
No storm is gonna stop her
Not a little thing like that
I gotta sit here all night knowin'
That she ain't comin' back
She's gonna make it
She'll be alright
Out on her own, I have no doubt
It's me that I'm worried about
She's never been to Dallas
That's a big ol' town
It ain't exactly easy
To find your way around
She's never met a stranger
She makes friends right and left
This house is so empty
I'm here all by myself
She's gonna make it
She'll be alright
Out on her own, I have no doubt
It's me that I'm worried about
She don't look back where she's been
She just lives in the moment, yeah
That she's gonna make it
She'll be alright
Out on her own, I have no doubt
That new tattoo still stung just a little
The old guy said "Well, what do you think?
Is this what you wanted?
Just the word 'freedom'
Surrounded by eagles' wings"
He said "It's none of my business,
But who is this angel,
That you had me cover up?"
I said "Oh, that's just a name,
It still makes me think of a girl I used to love"
But I figured she's probably somebody's mama by now
I bet she's covered in diamonds, that car that she's driving
Cost more than most people's house.
She used to say how she wanted babies and I was too young to slow down
But I figured she's probably somebody's mama by now.
We used to sit on the hood of my old blue Camaro and watch the sun come up
Stare out across that big sleepy desert, like the whole world revolved us
And I hope she'd smile if she knew right now, that I was talking like this
But she's out there somewhere, makin' somebody happy, wherever she is
But I figured she's probably somebody's mama by now
I bet she's covered in diamonds, that car that she's driving
Cost more than most people's house.
She used to say how she wanted babies and I was too young to slow down
But I figured she's probably somebody's mama by now.
I don't know where she is,
I'm glad I don't know where she lives,
Cause one day I just might show up at her door.
But I figured she's probably somebody's mama by now
I bet she's covered in diamonds, that car that she's driving
Cost more than most people's house.
She used to say how she wanted babies and I was too young to slow down
But I figured she's probably somebody's mama by now.
My dad chased monsters from the dark,
Checked underneath my bed,
He could lift me with one arm,
Way up over top of his head,
He could loosen rusty bolts,
With a quick turn of his wrench,
He pulled splinters from his hand,
Never even flinched,
In 13 years I'd never seen him cry,
But the day that Grandma died,
I realized:
Chorus:
Unsinkable ships - sink
Unbreakable walls - break
Sometimes the things you think will never happen
Happen just like that
Unbendable steel - bends
If the fury of the wind is unstoppable
I've learned to never underestimate
The impossible.
Then there was my Junior year
Billy had a brand new car
It was late the road was wet...
I guess the curve was just too sharp
I walked away without a scratch
They brought the helicopter in
And Billy couldn't feel his legs
Said he'd never walk again
But Billy said he would and his Mom and Daddy prayed
And the day we graduated
He stood up to say:
Chorus:
Unsinkable ships - sink
Unbreakable walls - break
Sometimes the things you think will never happen
Happen just like that
Unbendable steel - bends
If the fury of the wind is unstoppable
I've learned to never underestimate
The impossible.
(ohhh)
So don't tell me that it's over don't give
Up on you and me 'cause there's
No such thing as hopeless if you believe:
Chorus:
Unsinkable ships - sink
Unbreakable walls - break
Sometimes the things you think will never happen
Happen just like that
Unbendable steel - bends
If the fury of the wind is unstoppable
I've learned to never underestimate
A yellow two piece, black Ray Bans
Your bare feet covered in sand
White jet trails across the blue sky
Your pony tail showing off the sunshine
Like a postcard, out of nowhere
You get to me, you give me that smile and
I'm somewhere, somewhere sunny and 75
You and me on a beach chair
Yeah, I'm so there every time I look in your eyes
Kissing you and the salt air
I can taste it, I swear
Take me somewhere sunny and 75
It doesn't take much for you to move me
Just the way you're leaning in to me
It's a holiday when we're together
I wanna stay with you forever
Somewhere, somewhere sunny and 75
You and me on a beach chair
Yeah, I'm so there every time I look in your eyes
Kissing you and the salt air
I can taste it, I swear
Take me somewhere sunny and 75
You're like the fast lane West bound
You feel like a window's rolled down
I can't wait until we get there, somewhere
Somewhere sunny and 75
You and me on a beach chair
Yeah, I'm so there every time I look in your eyes
Kissing you and the salt air
I can taste it, I swear
