 Response to:
The book of love is long and boring by nadienne
(I am bored, so I will do this and hope I am not so bored in ten minutes.)
Let it never be said,
She doesn't own a dress.
It's time to laugh, it's time to cry.
Whenever life gets you down,
Oracabessa moonshine is washing over me.
Well, I heard that you're leaving
Daylight is creeping
Hanging round downtown by myself
Don't pretend you don't know me.
Happy, smilin', cryin'.
Happy birthday!
I never felt that you would love me the way you do.
I know it sounds funny but I just can't stand the pain.
If you're waiting for your wings but you just got legs
If you, if you could return, don't let it burn, don't let it fade.
I took your heart to the taxidermist and I nailed it to the bedroom wall.
This bed is on fire with passion and glow
If I could walk a straight mile and write it down in shorthand
Who is this irresistible creature who has an insatiable love for the dead?
Come as you are, as you were, as I want you to be.
(Somehow this seems faintly coherent. Weird.
Instrumentals and foreign language songs were skipped by.)
Round 2!
Another Second Time Around
Now if you're feeling kind of low about the dues you've been paying,
I've found a way to make you.
You and I in a little toy shop,
All I have and all I do,
Like Jimmy Carter, like electric underwear.
If this is the way it's meant to be,
I see the headline news, the stories that I read do not affect me directly.
There are times when you get suckered in by drugs and alcohol and sex with women, mmmkay.
She moves like she don't care.
Well the fact of the matter there ain't no facts involved.
Someone in the club tonight has stolen my ideas.
Higher, higher than the sun,
Well, I'm going to the hardware store.
Hey baby, baby, what'cha want to calling me?
Honestly, cause I never heard a word you said now.
And it's a hot one.
You've been away, so long, too long.
Gather 'round ye lads and lasses.
Running out of excuses now.
You, doing that thing you do.
Third time's the charm!
Jackie Cane
I seen you darlin, seen you hangin' around town.
Slip inside the eye of your mind,
If I blow you a kiss, would you go the distance?
Have you ever been close to tragedy?
That's great, it starts with an earthquake.
You don't know how you took it.
My eyes don't see the obvious.
So you wanna go on the road.
It's been a whole lot easier since you left town.
If you wanna make a movement then you better come in.
Lose my head to the chemical freeway.
Some things in life are bad.
A tornado is blowing.
What in the world happened to you?
I found you on a suitcase cryin'.
Long before the screen door slammed,
I see your sister staring at me out of the window.
Well the rain falls down without my help, I'm afraid.
And I feel the time's a wasted go.
I've been downhearted baby.
(I might be pretty good at this; this one sounds almost cohesive.)
