Lately, this one can’t escape my head. Brings a smile to my face. 🙂
What can I say about Claudette?
Ain’t seen her since January,
She could be respectably married or
running a whorehouse in Buenas Aires– Bob Dylan, “The Groom’s Still Waiting at the Altar”
Good ol’ Bob. What are personal faves out in LuLand?
March 22, 2007 at 6:24 pm #32290LeftyParticipantOne more, just because it’s Thursday…
When I was a kid I saw a light,
Floating high above the trees one nightThought it was an alien,
Turned out to be just God– Built to Spill, “Goin’ Against Your Mind”

March 23, 2007 at 3:43 am #32292ripleyParticipantIn your endless summer night
I’ll be on the other side
When you’re beautiful and dying all the world that you’ve denied
When the water is too deep
You can close your eyes and really sleep tonight,
When the glitter fades in morning
Turn away and you will find my empty eyes
Your beauty blinds.March 25, 2007 at 4:53 pm #32293All I AskParticipantAll I ask,
Don’t tell anybody the secrets,

March 29, 2007 at 12:54 pm #32295StanParticipantI love Lucinda, but here’s a fav lyric from another great songwriter…Ray Davies.
“We drank champaign and danced all night
Under electric candlelight.”April 2, 2007 at 1:00 am #32296antetomicParticipantI would’ve killed myself but it made no sense
Commitin’ suicide in self defense
But I lost everything I brought her
When she said babe you’re just a wave you’re not the waterButch Hancock
Now some of you would live through me
Lock me up and throw away the key
Or just find a place to hide away
Hope that I’ll just go away
I feel alright – I feel alright tonightSteve Earle
“Oh,” she said: “Casey, it’s been so long since I’ve seen you.
“Here,” she said: “just a kiss to make a body smile.
“See,” she said: “I’ve put on new stockings just to please you.
“Lord,” she said. “Casey, can you only stay a while.”Kris Kristofferson

i must admit you kind of bore me.Ray Lamontagne-Til the Sun Turns Black
May 10, 2007 at 12:33 am #32301AnonymousGuestStone cold Bon Scott classic lyrics…
“So spin that wheel,
Cut that pack,
And roll those loaded dice.
Bring on the dancing girls,
And put the champagne on ice.

My brother knows where the best bars are”May 13, 2007 at 9:53 am #32303dr winston oboogieParticipantI went stumbling through the fog trying to find a reason for the things I told her
She woke up sunny side down and I was still thinking I was too proud to flip her over
Between the champagne hand jobs and the kissing ass by everyone involved
Cocaine rich comes quick and that’s why the small dicks have it allDrive By Truckers
(I just love the “She woke up sunny side down” bit..)
