    re. 23  cj - heard a song yesterday - liked it - but didn't catch who
    the band was.
    
    Heard it again earlier - its the Wallflowers - instantly thought of you
    :-)
    
    j

    and you're calling me a wallflower???  ;->
    
    						cj

    	cj - no one in their right mind would do that :-)
    
    j

    cj could never be considered a wall flower...
    
    
    remember the discussion last friday-- we looked at a guy standing
    nearby-- and tried to guess his age-- cj went over and asked him!!!
    shy? not even a smidge...
    
    that's why she's special....
    er-- one of the reasons, she's also very fun!
    Jan

    too bad I leave early!  All these compliments would have been
    nice to take home over the weekend.
    
    				thanks
    				  cj

    I tell you, every time I hear that "One Headlight" by the
    Wallflowers I hear another line that just rings so true and
    some so close to home.
    
    I keep thinking, today I'm going to put those two lines in
    as a quote in SINGLES_CHAT, and then another two lines come
    that I love more, etc etc...
    
    Maybe Daryll will just put the whole song in here for me!  ;->
    
    							cj *->

    	sure its the words cj - you said it was the singers blue eyes the
    other night and I'm inclined to believe that :-)

>One Headlight
by Jakob Dylan

So long ago, I don't remember when
That's when they say I lost my only friend
Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease
As I listened through the cemetery trees

I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn
The long broken arm of human law
Now it always seemed such a waste
She always had a pretty face
So I wondered how she hung around this place

Chorus:
Hey, come on try a little
Nothing is forever
There's got to be something better than 
In the middle
But me & Cinderella
We put it all together
We can drive it home
With one headlight

She said it's cold
It feels like Independence Day
And I can't break away from this parade
But there's got to be an opening
Somewhere here in front of me
Through this maze of ugliness and greed
And I seen the sun up ahead
At the county line bridge
Sayin' all there's good and nothingness is dead
We'll run until she's out of breath
She ran until there's nothin' left
She hit the end-it's just her window ledge

(chorus)

Well this place is old
It feels just like a beat up truck
I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn
Well it smells of cheap wine & cigarettes
This place is always such a mess
Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn
I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else
Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same
But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin' dreams
I think of death-it must be killin' me<

(chorus)

    thanks Daryll.. knew you'd come through..
    
    Tis true, though Joyce, he has (Jacob, that is) ruined me
    for most other men.  ;->   However, I would not sell out
    my likes/dislikes in music for a pair of truly beautiful,
    sensuous, piercing...uh lost my thought...oh!  pair of eyes ;->
    
    						cj *->

    	 .33  yep cj and the moon is made of blue cheese... :-)
    
    j

cj,

psst, it's Jakob.

daryll

    re. 35
    
    cj - in his spare time, Daryll is a lexicographer :-)
    
    joyce

    and say hi to Webster's for me! ;->

    I'm listening to Loreena McKennitt today as I take a tutorial in
    preparation for a FrameMaker course tomorrow... 
    
    Awesome.. she has an unbelievable voice:
    
        Samain Nights:
                
        When the moon on a cloud cast night
        Shines above the tree tops height
        you sang me of some distant past
        that made my heart beat strong and fast
        now I know I'm home at last
    
        You offered me an eagle's wing
        that to the sun I might soar and sing
        and if I heard the owl's cry
        into the forest I would fly
        and in its darkness find you by.
    
        and so our love's not a simple thing
        Nor our truths unwavering
        But like the moon's pull on the tide
        Our fingers touch our hearts collide
        I'll be a moonsbreadth from your side
                       
    

    	Hey cj - saw the Wallflowers video - he does have gorgeous eyes -
    but a little to grey for my liking :-)
    
    joyce

    Loreena is an amzing lady.... and believe it or not, she's far better
    live! We have all her CDs and there is a song "Moon Cradle" that often
    helps me center after one of "those" days...

		What Might Have Been

	Sure I think about you now & then
	but, its been a long, long time
	I've got a good life now I've moved on

	So, when you cross my mind
	I try not to think about
	what might have been
	'cause that was then 
	and we have taken different roads

	We can't got back again,
	there's no use giving in
	and there's no way to know
	What might have been...

	We could sit & talk about this all night long
	wonder why we didn't last.
	Yes, they might be the best days we will ever know
	but, we'll have to leave them in the past.

	So, try not to think about what might have been
	'cause that was then
	and we have taken different roads
	We can't go back again, 
	there's no use giving in 
	and there's no way to know
	What might have been...

	That same old look in your eyes 
	Its a beautiful night 
	I'm so tempted to stay 
	
	Too much time has gone by
	we should just say goodbye	
	and turn & walk away.

	And try not to think about what might have been
	'cause that was then
	and we have taken different roads
	We can't go back again,
	there's no use giving in 
	and there's no way to know
	What might have been.

	No we'll never know
	What might have been...

    
    Joyce
    
    I like that one too. It is quite beautiful.

Kathleen, the lyrics you posted reminded me of this one. Any 
fellow Parrotheads in here?

He Went To Paris

By: Jimmy Buffett
1973

He went to Paris lookin' for answers
To questions that bothered him so
He was impressive, young and aggressive
Savin' the world on his own

But the warm summer breezes
The French wines and cheeses
Put his ambition at bay
The summers and winters
Scattered like splinters
And four or five years slipped away

Then he went to England, played the piano
And married an actress named Kim
They had a fine life, she was a good wife
And bore him a young son named Jim

And all of the answers and all of the questions
Locked in his attic one day
'Cause he liked the quiet clean country livin'
And twenty more years slipped away

Well the war took his baby, the bombs killed his lady
And left him with only one eye
His body was battered, his whole world was shattered
And all he could do was just cry

While the tears were a-fallin' he was recallin'
Answers he never found
So he hopped on a freighter, skidded the ocean
And left England without a sound

Now he lives in the islands, fishes the pilin's
And drinks his Green Label each day
Writing his memoirs, losin' his hearin'
But he don't care what most people say

Through eighty-six years of perpetual motion
If he likes you he'll smile and he'll say
"Jimmy, some of it's magic, some of it's tragic
But I had a good life all the way"


And he went to Paris lookin' for answers
To questions that bothered him so

    Did someone say Parrot head??!?!?!?  Absolutley! been a big fan for
    several years...just yesterday got back from Key west, were of 
    course I had my cheeseburger in paradise, sunk a few  magaritas at
    the Margaritivalle cafe and then over to Captain Tony's....   :^)

    I'm a new recruit.  In fact, you guys can tell me the name
    of the cd that has the song about when his plain was shot
    down in Jamaica.  Someone played that cd for me recently and
    I really liked it.  Been thinking about buying it, but can't
    remember the cd title.
    
    (hey Andy...did you sell the bike rack :-) )
    							cj *->

RE: .44

	My favourite Bubba song.. Count me in too. Seen him 4 times
	at Great Woods. This year will be 5.

RE: .47 (cj)

	Jamaica Mistaka on the Banana Wind CD. Was listening to it
	the other night on the drive up North. I'm looking at the
	CD jacket right now.

	"they shot from the lighthouse,they shot from the highway,
	 they shot from the top of the cliff, they'd all gone haywire, 
	we're catchin fire and there wasn't even a spliff"

	Very cool song. Another favourite on that album is "False
	Echo's". It's about his Dad, Cameron Buffett, who passed
	away in 1995.

    hey CJ! yup the bike rack went quick. Actually, all the goodies I 
    was unloading from my back room are gone...'cept for this huge
    microwave cart! 
    
   
    I've still got a few years to go, but "A Pirate Looks At 40" 
    is one of my all time favorite JB songs.

Was listening to The Pretenders yesterday...Really like this song...

I'LL STAND BY YOU

Oh
Why you look so sad
tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me, now

Don't
Be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
Cause I've seen the dark side, too

When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you

So
If you're mad, get mad
don't hold it all inside
come on and talk to me now

Hey
what you've got to hide
I get angry too,
Well I'm alot like you

When you're standing at the crossroads
And don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
Cause even if you're wrong

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you

Take me in into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you 
I'll stand by you.

And when 
When the night falls on you baby
You're feelin' all alone
You won't be on your own

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you

Take me in into your darkest hour 
and I'll never desert you 
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you.

    
    	Sure make me cry at work Barb...

    Funny you should come up with the Pretenders today Barb.  When
    "the wars" started between Angeline's father and I, I remember
    saying to him once that he helped me to understand how people
    can say it was a thin line between love and hate.
    
    Now this past Saturday, he came over to spend some time with
    Angeline.  They took off to the park and I put in a bunch of
    cd's and blasted through some housework.  When the returned,
    didn't that song play while they were playing in the living
    room!!!  Had a wry grin on my face.  ;-}
    
    						cj *->

    Wow, as I was pulling into my parking space, the radio station
    the River put on a delicious, funky old gem "Jane's Getting
    Serious".  Cranked that baby and sat and wracked my brain trying
    to remember who the heck recorded it.  A Bowie sound-a-like for
    sure.
    
    Daryll?  Shawn? I'm sure one of you can answer.
    
    						cj *->

    
    	But of course.  8^)
    
    	Jon Astley.  The album's called "Everyone Loves the Pilot Except
    	the Crew", and I bought the CD out of a bargain rack for about
    	$5 several years ago.
    
    	There's a few good songs on the album, but overall it's just OK.
    	"Jane's Getting Serious" is a great song, and the best on there.
    

    Thanks Shawn..from me and my neighbor here.  We were both
    trying to remember.

    	Ahhh, this is the life.
    
    	Logging in from my kitchen counter, smoking cigars and drinking
    	coffee, with Styx' "Paradise Theater" in the CD-ROM drive.
    
    	It doesn't get much better than this without getting naked.

    Burgundy Heart Shaped Medallion
    
    If I had a spell of magic
    I would make this enchantment for you          
    a Burgundy heart shaped medallion
    with a window so that you could see through
    so when all of your spirits are angry
    with your thoughts and all that you do
    you can peak through this heart
    shaped medallion 
    and see you from my point of view

    Hi,
    
    I'm looking for the words to the newest Sara Mclauchlin (?) song... if
    anyone has them, could they post them.. 
    
    thanks,

McLachlan.

I'm a huge fan.

How new is newest?

She's no Kathleen Battle, but she does have a wonderful voice.

What's the title of the song you're looking for?

    I don't know.. I've heard it a couple of times and really like it...
    
    I think the chorus goes:
    
    "I will hold you down, kiss you so hard, it will take your breath away"
    
    something like that...
    
    thanks,

It's off of "Fumbling Towards Ecstasy". An excellent album.
It's the first cut called, Possession.

Possession

Listen as the wind blows from across the great divide. 
Voices trapped in yearning 
memories trapped in time 
the night is my companion 
and solitude my guide 
would I spend forever here 
and not be satisfied. 

And I would be the one 
to hold you down 
kiss you so hard 
I'll take your breath away, 
and after I'd wipe away the tears 
just close your eyes dear. 

Through this would I've stumbled 
so many times before betrayed 
trying to find an honest word 
to find the truth enslaved, 
oh you speak to me in riddles 
and you speak to me in rhyme 
my body aches to breathe your breath 
your words keep me alive 

and I would be the one 
to hold you down 
kiss you so hard 
I'll take your breath away 
and after I'd wipe away the tears 
just close your eyes dear. 

Into this night I wander 
it's morning that I dread 
another day of knowing 
of the path I fear to tread 
on into the sea of waking dreams 
I follow without pride

nothing stands between us here and I won't be denied. 

And I would be the one 
to hold you down 
kiss you so hard 
I'll take your breath away 
and after I'd wipe away the tears 
just close your eyes...

    
    Sounds like your listening to "Possession".
    
    It was on her 1993 album, "Fumbling Towards Ecstacy".
    

    thanks

    	It is a great CD - one I have to return to Daryll sooner or later and 
    then I'll have to go out buy it :-(

    I bought the Jim Brickman disc "Picture This" last night. It is quite
    good, all instrumentals (Piano) except the recently popular "Valentine"
    with Martina McBride
     
    I had heard that he is the hubby of the middle daughter on Little House
    Prarie (Mellissa Gilbert?). Is that true?

    Inconsolable

I never knew what enough was, until I'd had more than my share
I let the darkness in, and it was then I lost the dare
It was then I lost the day

There will be no prayers on your return
And there will be no party thrown
And you will find your inheritance is the silence that's grown...
It is the seed that you've sown

'Cause you were the one sure thing
The one sure thing
Maybe I'm not crazy, just inconsolable
Inconsolable

There is no mystery to be revealed
And so we tell the truth and then run
I love you because I love you
And I did think that you were the one
But now I see who you've become

'Cause you were the one sure thing
The one sure thing
Maybe I'm not crazy, jsut inconsolable
Inconsolable

Time and time again I see
A love that seemed strong
Was not meant to be,
Broken hearts don't always mend,
Left too unsure, to try love again.

[chorus]
Just between you and me
Baby I know our love will be,
Just between you and me
Always I know our love will be,
Just between you and me.

Lovers often seen to say
Hearts can be blind to love gone astray,
Always it's the same old song,
Someone's been hurt by love that's gone wrong.

[chorus]

Words are sometime hard to find,
The silence can be so unkind,
You always help me find my way,
The love that we share,
Grows stronger each day,

Just between you and me,
Baby I know our love will be,
Just between you and me
Always I know our love will be
Seulement entre toi et moi
Means that our love will always be
Just between you and me
Baby I know our love will be
Just between you
Just between you and me

I've listened to "Best of Pure Prairie League" 1 1/2 times today ... 
they have a few songs that I knew and liked, but never knew who did 
them.

      The new song Butterfly Kisses.. Makes me choke up whenever I hear
    it..
    
    bob

    Having read The Joy of Sex in a younger day, I always associate
    "Butterfly" with a different term, which does not lend itself to
    sentimentality :).

    	Tony - only you...
    
    	Bob - about a month ago I taught a "short person" what a butterfly
    kiss was - the smile on their face was *magic* :-)
