ush:Bring It On Home (cant think of the artist)
When your long day is over,
and you can barely drag your feet,
when the weight of the world is on your shoulders,
I know what you need,
bring it on home to me.
I love this song. My hubby has had some rough times at work, so I sing this verse to him every day. Makes him smile.

it's been a LOOOONG time since ani difranco's lyrics rang so true to me....but the million you never made might as well be on repeat. everytime i step outside and smell sea air, it starts to run through my head...
the air comes off the ocean
the city smells fishy
the air is full of fish and mystery
whispering who, what, when
i am warning you i am weightless
and the wind is always shifting
so don't hang anything on me
if you ever want to see it again
i am telling you i'm different than you
think i am
also really relating to "out of habit" by the same artist.
the butter melts out of habit
the toast isn't even warm
the waitress and the man in the plaid shirt
play out a scene they've played
so many times before
art is why i get up in the morning
but my definition ends there
and it doesn't seem fair
that i'm living for something i can't even define
there you are right there
in the meantime
i don't want to play for you anymore
show me what you can do
tell me what are you here for
i want my old friends
i want my old face
i want my old mind
:censor: this time and place
the whole thing makes me feel seventeen again, it's been that long since she's struck such a chord
with me.

I'm tired and I REALLY should go to bed soon. My counselors at camp used to sing this to us before bed:
Return to Pooh Corner by Kenny Loggins
Christopher Robin and I walked along
Under branches lit up by the moon
Posing our questions to Owl and Eeyore
As our days disappeared all too soon
But I've wandered much further today than I should
And I can't seem to find my way back to the Wood
So help me if you can
I've got to get back
To the House at Pooh Corner by one
You'd be surprised
There's so much to be done
Count all the bees in the hive
Chase all the clouds from the sky
Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh
Winnie the Pooh doesn't know what to do
Got a honey jar stuck on his nose
He came to me asking for help and advice
And from here no one knows where he goes
So I sent him to ask of the Owl if he's there
How to loosen a jar from the nose of a bear
It's hard to explain how a few precious things
Seem to follow throughout all our lives
After all's said and done I was watching my son
Sleeping there with my bear by his side
So I tucked him in, I kissed him and as I was going
I swear that the old bear whispered
"Boy welcome home"
Believe me if you can
I've finally come back
To the House at Pooh Corner by one
What do you know
There's so much to be done
Count all the bees in the hive
Chase all the clouds from the sky
Back to the days of Christopher Robin
Back to the ways of Christopher Robin
Back to the days of Pooh

Chan Chan,
Compay Segundo
(sorry, it is in Spanish, no translation would work. I tried bablefish, but, nope, not quite the same!)
De alto cedro voy para marcané
Luego a cuelto voy para mayari
El carino que te tengo
Yo no lo puedo negar
Se me sale la babita
Yo no lo puedo evitar.
Cuando Juanita y chan chan
En el mar cernian arena
Como sacudia el « jibe »
A Chan Chan le daba pena.
Limpia el camino de paja
Que yo me quiero sentar
En aquel tronco que veo
Y asi no puedo llegar.

"Nightingale" by Saves the Day
And I will flail
under these lights
that seep down from the bitter skies tonight
And I will kick
and beat my wrists together
feel an ocean breathing waves
feel them licking at my face
Ceiling don't exist and there are no floors beneath me
If I were king of this night, would you become my queen?
And I hope your majesty that you like your position
I'll do everything I can to keep you by my side
And I'll stare off throught he darkness to find us a kingdom
Just kiss me before I go.
And I will flail

If I were king of this night, would you become my queen?
And I hope your majesty that you like your position
I'll do everything I can to keep you by my side
And I'll stare off throught he darkness to find us a kingdom
Just kiss me before I go.
For you I will by Teddy Greiger
I am going to muster every ounce or confidence I have, cannonball into the water, gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have, for you I will
I am going to muster every ounce or confidence I have, cannonball into the water, gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have, for you I will
After the Garden-by Neil Young on his new album "Living With War"
Won't need no shadow man
Runnin' the government
Won't need no stinkin' war
Won't need no haircut
Won't need no shoe shine
After the garden is gone
What will people do
After the garden is gone?
Won't need no shadow man
Runnin' the government
Won't need no stinkin' war
Won't need no haircut
Won't need no shoe shine
After the garden is gone
What will people do
After the garden is gone?
Lit, "My own Worst Enemy"
Please tell me why the car is in the front yard
And I'm sleeping with my clothes on
Came in through the window, last night...
It's no surpise to me I am my own worst enemy
Cause every now and then I kick the liven sh*t out of me
The smoke alarm is going off and there's a cigarette
Still burning...
Ok, I actually didn't go out last night...but there are some mornings when I feel that way and swear I'll never drink again!
Sorry to put such a blithe song on this rather serious thread -- but I'm not having any meaningful relationship issues, or profound thoughts, lately so I went with a fun one!!
LOL
btw, I LOVE Pooh Corner
