yeah, I'm easily amused at the odd rhyme ~

5778. Ulgine Barrows - 9/2/2006 3:11:54 AM

Dire Straights

And every victory has a taste that's bittersweet
And it's your face I'm looking for on every street

5540 the arrogant loneliness of swans in the canal


See, I can't abide by the choice of arrogant
arrogant loneliness?

I think not.

One can be arrogant, and one can be lonely, but the poet should have said,

'lonely arrogance of the swans'

I'm just saying.
I'm no poet, ha.

I don't write it, I read it.
I read a lot of it.

I am obsessed by this Katharine Whalen tune. The people who helped her make this record really love her!

There's something that you don't see
That you can't figure out
Something inside of me that I just can't get out
Well every now and then, I go wild, but I'll never tell

Cuz I hide my dirty little secret inside
You know I never tell a lie, no
So I have to hide

It doesn't matter to me
Means nothing at all
Just another dream
Just another fall
And what goes up must come down
But the world spins around

Cuz I hide my dirty little secret inside
You know I never, never confide, no
So I go and hide

And though I think it shows
Though I think they stay
I just look down
But no one really knows
No one really cares
Life just goes round and round

There's something that you don't see
That you can't figure out
Something I'd like to be, but I can't get it out
Well every now and then I go wild, but I'll never tell

And though I think it shows
Though I think they stay
I just look down
But no one really knows
No one really cares
Life just goes round and round

There's something that you don't see
That you can't figure out
Something inside of me that I just can't get out
Well every now and then, I go wild, but I'll never tell

Cuz I hide my dirty little secret inside
You know I'll never tell a lie, no
So I have to hide

Cuz I hide my dirty little secret inside
You know I never, never confide, no
So I have to hide
my dirty little secret inside

Brad Paisley, I think


Sittin' on a bench at West Town Mall
He sat down in his overalls and asked me
You waitin' on a woman
I nodded yeah and said how 'bout you
He said son since nineteen fifty-two I've been
Waitin' on a woman

When I picked her up for our first date
I told her I'd be there at eight
And she came down the stairs at eight-thirty
She said I'm sorry that I took so long
Didn't like a thing that I tried on
But let me tell you son she sure looked pretty
Yeah she'll take her time but I don't mind
Waitin' on a woman

He said the wedding took a year to plan
You talk about an anxious man, I was nervous
Waitin' on a woman
And then he nudged my arm like old men do
And said, I'll say this about the honeymoon, it was worth it
Waitin' on a woman

And I don't guess we've been anywhere
She hasn't made us late I swear
Sometimes she does it just 'cause she can do it
Boy it's just a fact of life
It'll be the same with your young wife
Might as well go on and get used to it
She'll take her time 'cause you don't mind
Waitin' on a woman

I've read somewhere statistics show
The man's always the first to go
And that makes sense 'cause I know she won't be ready
So when it finally comes my time
And I get to the other side
I'll find myself a bench, if they've got any
I hope she takes her time, 'cause I don't mind
Waitin' on a woman

Honey, take your time, cause I don't mind
Waitin' on a woman

If there's one thing
I don't believe in
it's you
Dear God

"Lay your armor down--

oh oh oh ohhhhhh

oh oh ohhhhhhhhhhh

don't wait

your lives will flash

and things will pass you by

don't wait

to lay your armor down..."

You haven't looked at me that way in years
You dreamed me up and left me here
How long was I dreaming for
What was it you wanted me for
You haven't looked at me that way in years
Your watch has stopped and the pond is clear
Someone turn the lights back on
I'll love you til all time is gone
You haven't looked at me that way in years
But I'm still here.

~ Tom Waits

Sweet cousin cocaine, lay your cool cool hand on my head
Ah, come on, sister morphine, you better make up my bed
’cause you know and I know in the morning I’ll be dead

5791. Ulgine Barrows - 9/7/2006 9:17:56 AM

I was open to pain and crossed by the rain and I walked on a crooked crutch
I strolled all alone through a fallout zone and came out with my soul untouched


GROWIN UP

5792. Seamus - 9/13/2006 8:30:22 PM

I apologise to everyone and especially to you, Ulgine, for the hissy I had. I'll do better.

Ulgine, is that very last, 5791, yours? It is quite musical. I like it

Seamus

5793. Ulgine Barrows - 9/17/2006 7:54:40 AM

Bruce Springsteen.


Christ no, Seamus, I don't have a rhyming creative bone in my body.....

But I've heard a few good lines

Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J.

5795. Ulgine Barrows - 9/17/2006 8:06:52 AM

errr... Bruce Springsteen, if I failed to mention

more bruce:
The flag of piracy flew from my mast my sails were set wing to wing
I had a jukebox graduate for first mate she couldn’t sail but she sure could sing
I pushed b-52 and bombed `em with the blues with my gear set stubborn on standing
I broke all the rules strafed my old high school never once gave thought to landin
