Through early morning fog I see
visions of the things to be
and all the pain withheld from me
and I realize and I can see
that suicide is painless
it brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it
if I please...

I found the whole song:

Through early morning fog I see
visions of the things to be
the pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see...
[REFRAIN]:
that suicide is painless
it brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.
I try to find a way to make
all our little joys relate
without that ever-present hate
but now I know that it's too late, and...
[REFRAIN]
The game of life is hard to play
I'm gonna lose it anyway
The losing card I'll someday lay
so this is all I have to say.
[REFRAIN]
The only way to win is cheat
And lay it down before I'm beat
and to another give my seat
for that's the only painless feat.
[REFRAIN]
The sword of time will pierce our skins
It doesn't hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger...watch it grin, but...
[REFRAIN]
A brave man once requested me
to answer questions that are key
is it to be or not to be
and I replied 'oh why ask me?'
[REFRAIN]
'Cause suicide is painless
it brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.
...and you can do the same thing if you please.

It wasn't Hawkeye's mother the writer was talking about, it was Radar's, because he always talking about his cow.

Was his Dad down at the station
When he reached Crab Apple Cove
(Hawkeye)

His Mama waving from the kitchen
Was his cow down by the road
(Radar)

Did they throw a bash in Boston (Winchester)

Were the little girls all grown (BJ)

Did they turn out in Toledo
To watch a man come marching home
(Klinger)

Klinger DID come back from Korea, he was in the show AfterMASH with Potter and Fr. Mulcahy.

Be seeing you, hun!:tongue:

Anyone ever hear this song? (....I forget who sang it, but it came out right after the show ended....)


The Party's Over..


Goodbye Hawkeye, So long Houlihan
B.J. and Klinger, Winchester and
Father Mulcahy and Colonel Potter gone
The party is over but the players will live on

The party's over everybody's gone
Now I know just how it feels
To really be alone
Was his Dad down at the station
When he reached Crab Apple Cove
His Mama waving from the kitchen
Was his cow down by the road

Did they throw a bash in Boston
Were the little girls all grown
Did they turn out in Toledo
To watch a man come marching home

Laughter was the remedy
You prescribed for every wound
Even suicide was painless
You even laughed at doom

Every week it was something
That needed to be shown
You sometimes hid the message
But you always brought it home


slaphead Sorry....I only realized now that I screwed up the words by posting in the middle of it.ohwell embarassed

MASH is (was) a great show. I have all the seasons on DVD.

The writing of MASH was constantly refreshed because of the change of characters Traper/Honeycutt & Blake/Potter & Burns/Winchester III (was there anyone ever better to hate than Frank Burns?)

LoL... Frank Burns eats Worms, Frank Burns eats Worms.... That was classic...
