Subject: RE: Self-proclaiming songs that can't exist
Steve, Oh yes they did too. I'd like to see your escape song. Is it in the data base? I could just look of course.
It just occurred to me that while it isn't really a song to fit in here, Dwight Yokum's "The Heart that You Own" (I think that's the title)is pretty wierd. Plays tricks with your mind.

I pay rent on a rundown place
Aint no view but there's lots of space in my heart
The heart that you own.

It seems to be about a guy who lives inside himself and would like his girl in there with him. She won't go along with the idea - cruel woman, but she seems to own his body.
He goes on

Used to be I could live for free
But that was before you bought the property.

He wonders where he could go to live now but he can't afford to pay her what he owes. Dead wierd if you ask me. I've seen the inside of bodies. Wouldn't want to live in there.
