I am guilty of a dreadful selfish crime
I had robbed myself of all my precious time

There’s no problem so awful,
that you can’t add some guilt to it and make it even worse.

There was a great lesson in grammar in an old Poco song: “If you do less crying, there’ll be fewer tears.”

Well I’ve seen women who cross their legs
Before they sit down to the table
And I’ve seen women who look to the sky
Screamin Lord I believe in the Bible
And I’ve seen hookers dancin through Times Square
With their heads held up so high
But I’ve never seen a woman
Who makes me feel
Woah, like you do
She’s the raw flame – the live wire,
She prays like a Roman with her eyes on fire…

My baby run off with a bus driver
And you know that don’t seem right
He used to give her rides in the daytime
Now she gives him rides at night

Things ain’t never what they seem
When you find yourself livin’ in your own dream

Cant get enough
Of that Funky Stuff
Kool and the gang
You know you can’t spend what you ain’t got,
You can’t lose some blues you ain’t never had.

In a screaming ring of faces I seen her standing in the light
She had a ticket for the races yeah just like me she was a victim of the night
I put my hand upon the lever said let it rock and let it roll
I had the one arm bandit fever there was an arrow through my heart and my soul

Tunnel of Love. Not a declaration, just the song title…
Sorry if I’ve done this before, but in the moment:
Juliet when we made love you used to cry
You said I love you like the stars above I’ll love you till I die
There’s a place for us* you know the movie song
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong Juliet?

There’s a place for us,
A time and place for us.
Hold my hand and we’re half way there.
Hold my hand and I’ll take you there
Somewhere…
The other one:
"Juliet says hey it’s Romeo - you nearly gimme me a heart attack
He’s underneath the window she’s singing hey la my boyfriend’s back
"…Hey La, Hey La, my Boyfriend’s Back
My Boyfriend’s back and there’s gonna be Trouble
Hey La, Hey la, my boyfriend’s back…"
…
You shouldn’t come around here singin’ up at people like that
Anyway what you gonna do about it?
