"I am the entertainer, been all around the world
I've played all kinds of palaces and laid all kinds of girls
I can't remember faces, I don't remember names

'Cause after a while and a thousand miles
It all becomes the same " Billy Joel - The Entertainer

Laughing like children, living as lovers, rolling like thunder under the covers

Here it was they lit the flame.
Here they sang about `tomorrow'

"I make a date for golf, and you can bet your life it rains
I try to give a party and the guy upstairs complains
I guess I'll go through life just catching colds and missing trains
Everything happens to me...

and everytime I play an ace my partner always trumps
I guess I'm just a fool who never looks before he jumps
Everything happens to me"

~Everything Happens To Me~ Chet Baker

And temptations taking hold
But though the pain and the suffering
Through the heartache and trembling

I feel loved"

Some girls they like candy, and others, they like to grind
I'll settle for the back of your hand somewhere on my behind
Treat me like I'm a bad girl, even when I'm being good to you
I don't want you to thank me, you can just spank me, mmm

~ Madonna, Hanky Panky

And O my love, I still recall
The pleasures that we knew;
The rivers and the waterfall,
Wherein I bathed with you.
Bewildered by your beauty there,
I'd kneel to dry your feet.
By such instructions you prepare
A man for Boogie Street.

Leonard Cohen ~ Boogie Street

Lonely is the room, the bed is made, the open window lets the rain in
Burning in the corner is the only one who dreams he had you with him
My body turns and yearns for a sleep that will never come

It's never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It's never over, all my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her
It's never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
It's never over, she's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever

Well maybe I'm just too young
To keep good love from going wrong

Oh... lover, you should've come over 'cause it's not too late

Jeff Buckley ~ Lover You Should've Come Over

In last night's red dress
And I can still smell you on my fingers
And taste you on my breath


Beth Orton ~ Central Reservation (Then Again Version)

There are some sins that you can justify
But not the one I'm guilty of
I had a choice one last chance ago
But I turned my back on love

I'll fuck you blind bitch
I'll fuck you intill you

I'm talking with a tight red sweater
I'm feelin' like eddie vedder
Only twice as cool when she starts winkin'
I'm just so easily led when the little head does the thinkin'

John Hiatt ~ Little Head

"Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes,
And he went down, but, to my surprise,
He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear.
But I busted a chair right across his teeth
And we crashed through the wall and into the street
Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer."

A Boy Named Sue: Shel Silverstein

and who do you think as well
uh huh
trotting right behind them came that little white bull, little white bull
untill the matador in the centre caught his tiny eye


So if you got a little bull,

that it might be the bull
thats
the

The more I see you,
The more I want you.
Somehow this feeling
Just grows and grows.
With every sigh I become more mad about you,
More lost without you,
And so it goes.

Nina Simone ~ More I See You

maybe i didnt treat you
quite as good as i should have
maybe i didnt love you

I can't remember if i cried
when i read about his widowed bride
and something touched me deep inside
the day the music died


RIP Buddy

to take me home to the one i love and who loves me forever
