I Don't Wanna Lose Your Love

...Come around and talk it over
So many things that I'd like to say
You know I like my girls a little bit older

I just wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight

I ain't got many friends left to talk to
No-one's around when I'm in trouble
You know I'd do anything for you
Stay the night - we'll keep it under cover...

Try to stop my hands from shakin'
Somethin' in my mind's not makin' sense
It's been awhile since we've been all alone
I can't hide the way I'm feelin'

As you leave me please would you close the door
And forget what I told you
Just 'cause you're right - that don't mean I'm wrong
Another shoulder to cry upon

I just wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight

-The Outfield (J. F. Spinks)

Outside

And you
Can bring me to my knees
Yeah

All this time
That I could make you breathe
Yeah

All the times
That I felt insecure
Yeah

And I leave
A burning path of flame

I’m on the outside
I’m looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
Cause inside you’re ugly
You’re Ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

All this time
That I felt like this won’t add
Once for you

And I taste
What I could never have
It’s from you

All those times
That I tried
My intentions
Full of pride
And I waist
More time than anyone ...

All the times
That I’ve cried
All that’s wasted
It’s all inside

And I feel
All this pain
Stuffed it down
It’s back again

And I lie
Here in bed
All alone
I can’t mend

And I feel
Tomorrow will be okay
But I know ...

And I miss you - Like the deserts miss the rain

I'm Not Like Everybody Else

I won't take all that they hand me down,
And make out a smile, though I wear a frown,
And I won't take it all lying down,
'Cause once I get started I go to town.

'Cause I'm not like everybody else…

And I don't want to ball about like everybody else,
And I don't want to live my life like everybody else,
And I won't say that I feel fine like everybody else,

But darling, you know that I love you true,
Do anything that you want me to,
Confess all my sins like you want me to,
There's one thing that I will say to you,
I'm not like everybody else …

And I won't say that I feel fine like everybody else,
'Cause I'm not like everybody else …

If you all want me to settle down,
Slow up and stop all my running 'round,
Do everything like you want me to,
There's one thing that I will say to you …

-The Kinks (R. Davies)

Gray

I tend to end up right where I started. Of course I can look at this with a ”positive” bias and note the few happy times in my life. And utilizing said logic, I will end up being happy again.

But I’m not really a glass half full kind of guy.

Just playing the odds, I tend to be miserable far more often than I am happy and …

I know, I know, it sounds like a self fulfilling prophecy. Yes the all too familiar self fulfilling prophecy. If you think it, it will come.

I do have my moments of joy here and there, but lately there’s been little to cheer in Mudville.

Sure, I am going to Miami in 2 weeks and just got myself a spiffy new ipod …

But (cue broken record)

I’m broke, sad, and worst of all …

Alone.

Can any more be gained by continuing to bang my head against the wall? Isn’t it far more logical to just accept my fate? Embrace the misery, misfortune, and solitude and be done with it?


This is how it is, how it has always been, and how it will continue to be.

Just as a Southeast Asian rice farmer was never meant to drive a German sports car, I was never meant to …

Somebody Told Me

Breaking my back just to know your name
Seventeen tracks and I've had it with this game
I'm breaking my back just to know your name
But heaven ain't close in a place like this...

Drive

Who's gonna tell you when
It's too late
Who's gonna tell you things
Aren't so great

You can't go on
Thinking nothing's wrong
Who's gonna drive you home tonight

Who's gonna pick you up
When you fall
Who's gonna hang it up
When you call
Who's gonna pay attention
To your dreams
Who's gonna plug their ears
When you scream...

Who's gonna hold you down
When you shake
Who's gonna come around
When you break...

-The Cars (Rick Ocasek)
