13 Jul 03 - 12:42 PM (#982388) Subject: Lyr Add: NOT A MATTER OF PRIDE (Mike Silver) From: Sooz NOT A MATTER OF PRIDE Mike Silver She knows he thinks about her, though the times are not so grand But you can only play the cards that you are holding in your hand She knows he thinks of leaving, and doesn't want to let him go While there's something left unfinished, something that she needs to know She says lets decorate the bedroom, DIY from the superstore But he's five cans down a six pack, he's not listening any more But she feels his heart is kinder than he wants to let her think And so she exercises patience, does the dishes in the sink Take your time, til you decide It's a matter of love not a matter of pride When people get close they sometimes collide Oh how the truth gets turned into lies He says I wish I had some money, I'd show this town a thing or two See my woman let her hair down like she always wanted to do Though I'm just a weekend dreamer still my heart's not far away Would she be better if I leave her or better if I stay? He doesn't want another woman she doesn't look at other men An affair may be exciting but disappoints you in the end They both know there is something missing floating just beyond their reach In this lovers search and rescue will they find what they might keep |

13 Jul 03 - 07:12 PM (#982561) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Mike Silver - not a matter of pride From: harvey andrews I'm thrilled for Mike. He's carrying the flag for all the over 55's who can play and sing at the same time without dancing! He's a consummate performer. If you've never seen him don't miss the next opportunity. I think in every song that catches the imagination there's a line that jolts in its perfection and makes the point of the lyric in a few words; "But he's five cans down a six pack, he's not listening any more" I think that's it! |
