Watch the sunrise
Say your goodbyes
Off we go
Some conversation
No contemplation
Hit the road

Car overheats
Jump out of my seat
On the side of the highway baby
Our road is long
Your hold is strong
Please don’t ever let go Oh No

I know I don’t know you
But I want you so bad
Everyone has a secret
But can they keep it
Oh No they can’t

I’m driving fast now
Don’t think I know how to go slow
Where you at now
I feel around
There you are

Cool these engines
Calm these jets
I ask you how hot can it get
And as you wipe off beads of sweat
Slowly you say “I’m not there yet!”

I know I don’t know you
But I want you so bad
Everyone has a secret
But can they keep it
Oh No they can’t

I know I don’t know you
But I want you so bad
Everyone has a secret
But can they keep it
Oh No they can’t

Someone Saved My Life Tonight

Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Available on the album Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy

When I think of those East End lights, muggy nights
The curtains drawn in the little room downstairs
Prima Donna lord you really should have been there
Sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair
And it’s one more beer and I don’t hear you anymore
We’ve all gone crazy lately
My friends out there rolling round the basement floor

And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear
You almost had your hooks in me didn’t you dear
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar-bound, hypnotized
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
You’re a butterfly
And butterflies are free to fly
Fly away, high away, bye bye

I never realised the passing hours of evening showers
A slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams
I’m strangled by your haunted social scene
Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen
It’s four o’clock in the morning
Damn it listen to me good
I’m sleeping with myself tonight
Saved in time, thank God my music’s still alive

And I would have walked head on into the deep end of the river
Clinging to your stocks and bonds
Paying your H.P. demands forever
They’re coming in the morning with a truck to take me home
Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
So save your strength and run the field you play alone

The Spice Girls in my head this morning. What kind of sick freaking uiniverse do we live in that it would do that to soomeone that early?! (and no, I don’t have a radio alarm clock… it was my own dang head.)

Goats are Parading

Parading, goats are parading;
parading down the street.
Parading, goats are parading;
leaving little treats.

So better take the keys
And drive forever
Staying won’t put these
Futures back together
All the perfect drugs
And superheroes
Wouldn’t be enough
To bring me up to zero.

Humpty Dumpty (listen) – Aimee Mann – Lost In Space

this whole waking up with a song stuck in my head thing.
Today’s selection in RadioFredletsHead is “Be Mine” – David Grey.

No idea what it signifies… theories are welcome.

mares eats oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy…a kid’ll eat ivy, too, wouldn’t you?

Just for you…

I share because I love…

On Top of Spaghetti

On top of spaghetti,
All covered with cheese,
I lost my poor meatball,
When somebody sneezed.

It rolled off the table,
And on to the floor,
And then my poor meatball,
Rolled out of the door.

It rolled in the garden,
And under a bush,
And then my poor meatball,
Was nothing but mush.

Please note that this is where my lyrical fortitude ends. I never knew the rest of the song until now.

The mush was as tasty
As tasty could be,
And then the next summer,
It grew into a tree.

The tree was all covered,
All covered with moss,
And on it grew meatballs,
And tomato sauce.

So if you eat spaghetti,
All covered with cheese,
Hold on to your meatball,
Whenever you sneeze.

Alternately running through my head today:
1. “Hold me closer tiny dancerrrrrr…” (but in my head, it comes out as Phoebe sings it >> “Hold me closer Tony Danzaaaaaaaaa” -ew.)
2. “You were always on my miiiiiiiiiiiiind” (Elvis, not Willie)
3. “Take the skinheads bowling. Take them bowling.”

lather. rinse. repeat.
