"The Living Years" by Mike and the Mechanics

Douglas, there's no shame in being a trash-can licker.

That's a good one, but I have a fondness for the corny Roy Clark one that is in the film.

I know what you mean. But I don't particularly like the Mike and the Mechanics lyrics. They seem to get a bit contradictory and muddled in places. And of course the son in the film doesn't have a child. So that would render that part of the song inappropriate.

Yes, nothing like messing up a thoughtful film with some rock 'n roll crap.
