Of course the part where he says: "...Yes I wish I was as mellow As, for instance Jackson Browne, But "Fountain Of Sorrow, my ass, @#$%^&*)+=, I hope you wind up in the ground..." ...was written well before Jackson allegedly attacked the "500 Foot Woman" and lost a bit of credibility..... |

I'm not the one you want, babe, I'm not the one you need. You say you're lookin' for someone Never weak but always strong, To protect you an' defend you Whether you are right or wrong, Someone to open each and every door, But it ain't me, babe, No, no, no, it ain't me, babe, It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe. Go lightly from the ledge, babe, Go lightly on the ground. I'm not the one you want, babe, I will only let you down. You say you're lookin' for someone Who will promise never to part, Someone to close his eyes for you, Someone to close his heart, Someone who will die for you an' more, But it ain't me, babe, No, no, no, it ain't me, babe, It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe. Go melt back into the night, babe, Everything inside is made of stone. There's nothing in here moving An' anyway I'm not alone. You say you're looking for someone Who'll pick you up each time you fall, To gather flowers constantly An' to come each time you call, A lover for your life an' nothing more, But it ain't me, babe, No, no, no, it ain't me, babe, It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe. |

I must have been thinking of the classic movie poster from the 1950s original, where the woman looked taller than 50 feet. |

15 Feb 06 - 08:40 AM (#1669248) Subject: RE: BS: non-love songs From: JennyO Bastard How could I give my heart to a bastard like that ? Please, Mr Bastard, can I have my heart back ? Too much fiction and not enough fact. Well love isn't blind but it can't see around corners. How could I give my money to a bastard like that ? Please, Mr Bastard, can I have my money back ? I didn't pay for all of that crap. Well love isn't blind but it's got the wrong glasses on. I tried to live in an innocent haze, Away from the blues and the low down days. But gone are the highs and the passionate sighs, When there's too many lies, well true love dies, dies, dies. How could I give my time to a bastard like that ? Please, Mr Bastard, can I have my time back ? I didn't want to spend it like that, Well, love isn't blind but I think it's got dyslexia. Love isn't blind but it's got the wrong glasses on. Love isn't blind but it can't see around corners. Love, Love, Love, Love, Love, Love, Love. Money, Money, Money, Money, Money, Money, Money. Bastard, Bastard, Bastard, Bastard, Bastard, Bastard, Bastard ! Love isn't blind but it can't see around corners. by Kath Tait © |

I thought I always would But now you've gone and left me I don't know what to do So my little darlin' I write these words to you You dun stomped on my heart And you mashed that sucker flat You just sortta stepped on my aorta You started going out with guys I felt us drift apart And every step you took Was a stomp upon my heart I only hope that someday you get Them low down blues In some smokey honky tonk You looked down at your shoes You'll think about that tender heart That you crushed beneath them soles With your clod bustin' stompers You left my heart so full of holes Words and music by williams |

Man, this love's a crock of shit. I sent all my kids to school. Now they think that I'm a fool. They don't like me 'cause I spit. Man, this love's a crock of shit. I come home, most every night, Me 'n' my wife, we have a fight. My wife always was a wit. Man, this love's a crock of shit. Young man, if you've never wed, Listen close to what I've said. You've got freedom in your mitt. Man, this love's a crock of shit. --- Joe Fineman joe_f@verizon.net ||: Be careful what you do with your resentment. :|| |
