On relationships and life

{i may kiss like a dragon, but i sting like a bee, boy:}

what is it about ourSELVES that make us both SO often tempted to cutting ... each.other down and on the flipside. even quicker to put another down in defense of aSELF

have we forgotten the words of the greats before us or do we simply just forget the story altogether

cat stevens: longer boats are coming to get us (3:07); on the road to find out (5:07) on the LP: tea for THE tillerMAN

the band: up on cripple creek SHE sends me

pink floyd: US anD theM...black and blue.and who knows which is which and who is who.(7:53)up and down. and in the enD its only ROUND and ROooound

jamiroquai: virtual insanity :useless twisting of the new techno-logy (3min47sec)

the birds and the bees ... (spun accordingly)

boy beeee meets girl birdie tweedle dee dee. boy seduces girl with his buzzing manliness. girl gives in to the promise of such sweet honey. sudennly disaster strikes. the earth begins to move as it always was and WOeMaann goes "psycho"

i think a more appropriate term here might be needy or clinging to that.which. this same boy had told her in another.life ...

those 3 simple words we all long to hear.

(not just from those of the opposite gender neI.ther BROs)

how is it that words terrify us to the bare bones just to say? seems more than silly to me...

so where did i leave off, ah yes, girl gets needy. boy withdrawls and denies the key she has GIVEn him to her very owndoor.

guy becomes DICK or assHOLEas the "mouth) gets angry and angrier. and girlS beCOME perpetually viewed as "crazy"

well,

boys, have i got 'new'News foorr you!

the girlies do NOT make themSELVES crazy

it takes two to tango

AND

there is a reason we fit SO well and it feels SOOoo good

just think (of what?) before

you leap.. next time

and boys, let me just ask..

are.

you..

prepared...

to catch,

HeR faLL?

pink floyd: after much indiscernible jabbering and a nice jazz solo the song closes with the words:

Down n n(x2) and Out t t t (x4)

===IT can't be HELPed.

but there'S a LOT of "it" about....

with with with with, withOUT .. . .

and who'll deny. IT's what the fightings ALlll about

(the music rock element climaxes with":)

GET OUT (of)THE WAY, IT'S A BUSY DAY

(and) I'VE GOT THINGS ON MY MIND

FOR WANT OF THE PRICE OF TEA AND aSLICE

THE OLD MAN DIED *

why are we so damn childish with each other's deeper selves

and PLEEEASE join me in asking

HOW can we make "it) BETTER

so we can ROCK 2gether ALLllll NIGHT LOooooNG

and party allthe days on the way

AND in/between

us and them?....!?*
