This one deserves a double shot...

"You Better You Bet"

You better you better you bet.
I call you on the telephone my voice too rough with cigarettes.
I sometimes thing I should just go home but I'm dealing with a memorythat never forgets
I love to hear you say my name especially when you say yes
I got your body right now on my mind and I drunk myself b-lind to the sound of old T-Rex
To the sound of old T-Rex - who's next?
[Chorus:]When I say I love you you say you better
You better you better you bet
When I say I need you you say you better
You better you better you bet
You better bet your life
Or love will cut you like a knife
I want those feeble minded axes overthrown
I'm not into your passport picture I just like your nose
You welcome me with open arms and open legs
I know only fools have needs but this one never begs
I don't really mind how much you love me
A little is really alright
When you say come over and spend the night
Tonight, tonight
[Chorus: (as above)]
I lay on the bed with you
We could make some book of records
Your dog keeps licking my nose
And chewing up all those letters
Saying "you better"
You better bet your life
You better love me, all the time now
You better shove me back into line now
You better love me, all the time now
You better shove me back into line now.
I showed up late one night with a neon light for a visa
But knowing I'm so eager to fight can't make letting me in any easier
I know tha~t I been wearing crazy clothes and I look pretty crappy sometime
But my body feels so good and I still sing a razor line everytime.
And when it comes to all night living
I know what I'm giving
I've got it all down to a tee
And it's free.
[Chorus: (as above)]

"Touch Me" by the Doors

Come on, come on, come on, come on
Now touch me, babe
Can't you see that I am not afraid?
What was that promise that you made?
Why won't you tell me what she said?
What was that promise that you made?

Now, I'm gonna love you
'Til the heavens stop the rain
I'm gonna love you
'Til the stars fall from the sky for you and I

Come on, come on, come on, come on
Now touch me, babe
Can't you see that I am not afraid?
What was that promise that you made?
Why won't you tell me what she said?
What was that promise that you made?

I'm gonna love you
'Til the heavens stop the rain
I'm gonna love you
'Til the stars fall from the sky for you and I
I'm gonna love you
'Til the heavens stop the rain
I'm gonna love you
'Til the stars fall from the sky for you and I

"Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps" by Cake

Been listening to Cake all day:

You won't admit you love me
And so
How am I ever
To know
You only tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps

A million times I ask you
And then
I ask you over
Again
You only answer
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps

If you can't make your mind up
We'll never get started
And I don't wanna wind up
Being parted, broken-hearted

So if you really love me
Say yes
But if you don't, dear,
Confess
And please don't tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps

If you can't make your mind up
We'll never get started
And I don't wanna wind up
Being parted, broken-hearted
So if you really love me
Say yes
But if you don't, dear,
Confess
And please don't tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps

"Still Loving You" by the Scorpions

Music: Rudolf Schenker
Lyrics: Klaus Meine

Time, it needs time
To win back your love again
I will be there, I will be there
Love, only love
Can bring back your love someday
I will be there, I will be there

I'll fight, babe, I'll fight
To win back your love again
I will be there, I will be there
Love, only love
Can break down the wall someday
I will be there, I will be there
If we'd go again
All the way from the start
I would try to change
The things that killed our love
Your pride has built a wall, so strong
That I can't get through
Is there really no chance
To start once again
I'm loving you

Try, baby try
To trust in my love again
I will be there, I will be there
Love, our love
Just shouldn't be thrown away
I will be there, I will be there
If we'd go again
All the way from the start
I would try to change
The things that killed our love
Your pride has built a wall, so strong
That I can't get through
Is there really no chance
To start once again
If we'd go again
All the way from the start
I would try to change
The things that killed our love
Yes, I've hurt your pride, and I know
What you've been through
You should give me a chance
This can't be the end
I'm still loving you
I'm still loving you,
I need your love
I'm still loving you

"Sweet Emotion" by Aerosmith

Talk about things and nobody cares
Wearing other things that nobody wears
Ya callin' my name, but I gotta make it clear
Can't say where I'm gonna be in a year.
Some sweathog mama with a face like a gent
Said my get up and go musta got up and went.
You got good news but you're a real good liar
Cause backstage lover set your pants on fire.

Riff 8x, then sweet emotion [2x]

Pulled into town in a police car
Your daddy said I took you just a little too far.
Tellin' other things, but your girlfriend lied
Can't catch me cause the rabbit done died.
Standin' in front just shakin' your ass.
Take you back stage you can drink from my glass.
Talk about something you can sure understand
Cause a month on the road and I'll be eatin' from your hand.

"I Just Wanna Make Love To You" written by Willie Dixon

This song has been performed by many artists from Muddy Waters (blues) to Foghat (rock):

I don't want you to be no slave
I don't want you to work all day
I don't want you to be sad and blue
I just want to make love to you

I don't want you to wash my clothes
I don't want you to keep my home
I don't want your money too
I just want to make love to you

Well I can see by the way that you switch and walk
And I can tell by the way that you baby talk
And I know by the way that you treat your man
I can love you baby, like no one can

I don't want you to bake my bread
I don't want you to make my bed
I don't want you to be true
I just want to make love to you

Oh, yeah, baby, make sweet love to you!
Gonna give you all the lovin' in the whole world.
I wanna make love, talking about sweet love, oh, yeah...

"Only Women Bleed" by Alice Cooper

Man got his woman to take his seed
He got the power - oh-oh
She got the need
She spends her life through pleasing up her man
She feeds him dinner or... anything she can
She cries alone at night too often
He smokes and drinks and don't come home at all
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Man makes your hair gray
He's your life's mistake
All you're really lookin' for's an even break
He lies right at you
You know you hate this game
He slaps you once in a while and you live and love in pain
She cries alone at night too often
He smokes and drinks and don't come home at all - ooh
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Black eyes all of the time
Don't spend a dime
Clean up this grime
And you there
Down on your knees
Begging me please
Come watch me bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed

"Home" by Sheryl Crow

I woke up this morning
Now I understand
What it means to give your life
To just one man
Afraid of feeling nothing
No bees or butterflies
My head is full of voices
And my house is full of lies

This is home, home
And this is home, home
This is home

I found you standing there
When I was seventeen
Now I'm thirty-two
And I can't remember what I'd seen in you
I made a promise
Said it everyday
Now I'm reading romance novels
And I'm dreaming of yesterday

This is home, home
And this is home, home
This is home

I'd like to see the Riviera
And slowdance underneath the stars
I'd like to watch the sun come up
In a stranger's arms

This is home, home
And this is home, home
This is home

I'm going crazy
A little everyday
And everything I wanted
Is now driving me away
I woke this morning
To the sound of breaking hearts
Mine is full of questions
And it's tearing yours apart,
Tearing yours apart,
Tearing yours apart,
And it's tearing us apart...

"Ready for Love" by Bad Company

Wishful lyric of the moment:

(live version)

I'm walkin' down this rocky road
Wondering where my life is leadin'
Rollin' on to the bitter end
I'm finding out along the way
What it takes to keep love living
You should know how it feels my friend
Ooh, I want you to stay
Ooh, I want you today
I'm ready for love
Oh baby, I'm ready for love
Ready for love
Oh baby, I'm ready for love, yeah
Ohhh, I'm waiting for your call
Now I'm on my feet again
Better things are bound to happen
All my dues surely must be paid
Many miles and many tears
Times were hard but now they're changing
You should know that I'm not afraid
Ooh, I want you to stay
Ooh, I want you today
I'm ready for love
Oh baby, I'm ready for love
Ready for love
Oh baby, I'm ready for love
I'm ready, so ready
Ooh, I want you to stay
Ooh, I want you today
I'm ready for love
Oh baby I'm ready love
Oh baby I'm ready for love
Ready for love
Oh baby I'm ready for love
Ready for love
Oh baby I'm ready for your love
Ahhh ha aahhh ah
I'm walkin' down down down down down this rocky road
I'm wondering where my life is leadin'
But now that I found you baby
I can never let you go
I need your love so bad
I want to give you my heart and my soul
I need your love baby
I need your love so bad
I'm ready ready ready
Give it to me now
Give me your love
Give my your love baby
I'll give you all mine too
Yeah yeah yeah

Norwegian Wood by the Beatles

I once had a girl,
Or should I say
She once had me.
She showed me her room,
Isn’t it good?
Norwegian wood.
She asked my to stay and told me sit anywhere,
So I looked around and I noticed there wasn’t a chair.
I sat on a rug
Biding my time,
Drinking her wine.
We talked until two,
And then she said, "It’s time for bed."
She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh,
I told her I didn’t, and crawled off to sleep in the bath.
And when I awoke I was alone,
This bird has flown,
So I lit a fire,
Isn’t it good?
Norwegian wood.

"(You're the) Devil In Disguise" by Elvis Presley

You look like an angel
Walk like an angel
Talk like an angel
But I got wise
You're the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguise

You fooled me with your kisses
You cheated and you schemed
Heaven knows how you lied to me
You're not the way you seemed

You look like an angel
Walk like an angel
Talk like an angel
But I got wise

You're the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguise

I thought that I was in heaven
But I was sure surprised
Heaven help me, I didn't see
The devil in your eyes

You look like an angel
Walk like an angel
Talk like an angel

But I got wise
You're the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguise

You're the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguise

"Silver Tongued Devil" by Kris Kristofferson

I took myself down to the Tally Ho Tavern,
To buy me a bottle of beer.
And I sat me down by a tender young maiden,
Who's eyes were as dark as her hair.
And as I was searching from bottle to bottle,
For something un-foolish to say.
That silver tongued devil just slipped from the shadows,
And smilingly stole her away.

I said: "Hey, little girl, don't you know he's the devil.
He's everything that I ain't.
Hiding intentions of evil,
Under the smile of a saint.
All he's good for is getting in trouble,
And shiftin' his share of the blame.
And some people swear he's my double:
And some even say we're the same.
But the silver-tongued devil's got nothing to lose,
I'll only live 'til I die.
We take our own chances and pay our own dues,
The silver tongued devil and I."

Like all the fair maidens who've laid down beside him,
She knew in her heart that he'd lied.
Nothin' that I could have said could have saved her,
No matter how hard that she tried.
'Cos she'll offer her charms to the darkness and danger,
Of somethin' that she's never known.
And open her arms at the smile of a stranger,
Who'll love her and leave her alone.

And you know, he's the devil.
He's everything that I ain't.
Hiding intentions of evil,
Under the smile of a saint.
All he's good for is getting in trouble,
And shiftin' his share of the blame.
And some people swear he's my double:
And some even say we're the same.
But the silver-tongued devil's got nothing to lose,
I'll only live 'til I die.
We take our own chances and pay our own dues,
Ah ha ha ha.

The silver tongued devil and I.


Yeah, so it seems that the things I saw were true, the 'bad' ones. But isn't it a relief to know now? I knew what was going to happen, but that doesn't mean that I could change it. I just had to go with the flow eventually. If people could go back in time, I'm not sure that they really could alter the future like they show in movies and on tv. You might change the road you're on, but all rivers still flow to the sea. Or however that goes. The outcomes aren't going to change. That's one of the most frustrating things about intuition and stuff. Ignorance really is bliss because you just take everything as it comes, but when you know what's coming you have time to fret and worry and fear it. But you don't really have any power to change it. Not really. And whatever things I see I can't really tell people. It would freak them out too much. Oh, maybe not. But I'm not ready to risk it. And I do know. I know what people are hiding, but they shouldn't let that scare them because it doesn't matter to me -- it doesn't affect how I see them. Well, except when they continue to hide and deny. We're all human with weaknesses and darknesses.

"A Thousand Miles From Nowhere" by Dwight Yoakam

I'm a thousand miles from nowhere,
Time don't matter to me.
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere,
And there's no place I wanna be.

I got heartaches in my pocket,
I got echoes in my head.
And all that I keep hearing,
Are the cruel, cruel things that you said.

I'm a thousand miles from nowhere,
Time don't matter to me.
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere,
And there's no place I wanna be.

Oh, I...
Oh, I...
Oh, I...

Oh, I...
Oh, I...
Oh, I...

I've got bruises on my memory,
I've got tear stains on my hands,
And in the mirror there's a vision,
Of what used to be a man.

I'm a thousand miles from nowhere,
Time don't matter to me.
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere,
And there's no place I wanna be.

I'm a thousand miles from nowhere,
Time don't matter to me.
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere,
And there's no place I wanna be.

Oh, I...I'm a thousand miles from nowhere.
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere.

Oh, I...

"Think About Me" by Fleetwood Mac

All it took was a special look
And I felt I knew you before
Didn't mean to love you
Didn't think it would work out
But I knew we would be together
And I couldn't wait for more
What can they say
It's not against the law

I don't hold you down
Maybe that's why you're around
But if I'm the one you love
Think about me

I believe that you really want me
But it's not easy just to give in
So let yourself go and let love begin

I don't hold you down
Maybe that's why you're around
But if I'm the one you love
Think about me

I don't hold you down
Maybe that's why you're around
But if I'm the one you love
Think about me

friday nite

Rewarding myself a little since it's been such a hard week.

Yeah, I'm totally stoned (and aloned).
Am I looking for trouble
Or is it just waiting for me?
Didn't pay attention
Didn't see the signs
Now my eyes are open
And the visions make them burn.
Everything burns
And the pulse is strong.
Everything burns hot
And my outsides melt into yours.
And my insides become the outside
And spirits collide and dance
So now I know.
Do you?
Do you see it too?
Are you burning too?
Do you feel it too?
Yeah, I am totally stoned (and aloned?)
