It's The Best There Is

Sandy Denny: 3:10 to Yuma

Sandy Denny: 3:10 to Yuma...alternate take

There was only one catch
and that was Catch-22,
which specified that
a concern for one's safety
in the face of dangers
that were real and immediate
was the process of
a rational mind.
Orr was crazy
and could be grounded.
All he had to do was ask;
and as soon as he did,
he would no longer be crazy
and would have to fly
more missions.
Orr would be crazy
to fly more missions
and sane if he didn't,
but if he was sane
he had to fly them.
If he flew them he was crazy
and didn't have to;
but if he didn't want to
he was sane and had to.
Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle.
That's some catch, that Catch-22, he observed.
It's the best there is, Doc Daneeka agreed.
