The Living Sisters: "Double Knots"

to avoid apologizing again
for songs that are not so lovey-dovey
or uplifting... here is one for the
i heart you mix cd. give it to the
one who ties you up in double knots
and they'll be sure to swoon.

...

ooo ooo ooo
ooooooooooo

i wanna take my baby's shoes off
i wanna sing him a rock and roll
i wanna prove i've got it big
i wanna jump in the water
take off all our clothes

i wanna walk down to the boulevard
i wanna buy a candy bar
i'm going to drink two martini
jump in the fire
i'm gonna get burned

chorus:
my baby ties me up in double knots [3x]
hey, hey
he's gonna loosen me up

i'm gonna turn my baby's lights down
i'm gonna sing him a sizzlin' soul
i'm gonna prove i'm ready to fight now
wanna jump in the water
take off all our clothes

chorus: [repeats]

...

loving these three girls
and this wonderful song and
its wonderful lyrics here.

so many memories and former flames
wrapped up in this one for me...

like the first night we went out
together and i made you jump into
the freezing cold river from the bridge
by my house. and warmed you up with
a cup of tea in my living room with
a california soul record spinning.

or the night we went to a party up
in that cow pasture and i got my arms
all cut up and burnt myself trying to
prove whatever it was stoking the giant
bonfire and we cleaned up in the river
the next morning.

and finally, on this "warm" by
winter standards sunny day, this
track makes me feel like i'm down
at the boardwalk on a hot summer
night with my beau... not that i have
one or live anywhere near a boardwalk...
but hey, a girl can pretend. right?

Michael Franti and Spearhead: "I Got Love for You"

Another morning has come and the sun is high
But I know that today is the day that I might cry
Because I know you’re going
And I know you’re leaving
To somewhere you hope to find the peace of mind you’re seeking

In the back of a greyhound bus, it’ll take you far
In the back of a greyhound bus you can be who you are

And I say
La-la-la La-la-la La-la-la La-la-la La La
I got love for you
I got love for you

So I’ll be waiting my dear u-huh
Waiting right here u-huh
Waiting my dear u-huh
Waiting right here u-huh

I remember the time back when we was home
In and out up and down in this life what a crazy road
It’s been a long time that I shoulda said what I tell now
That I got faith in you
And I believe in you

In the dark of the night in the hotel when you’re alone
In the middle of the city where nobody cares to know
On the top of the town in the glimmer of the shining lights
You just shine on now
You just shine on now

And I say
La-la-la La-la-la La-la-la La-la-la La La
I got love for you
I got love for you

So I’ll be waiting my dear u-huh
Waiting right here u-huh
Waiting right here u-huh

And I’ve got love for you - love for you - love for you

And I know that you can’t say for sure when you’re coming home
But I got faith in you
And I believe in you

And I say
La-la-la La-la-la La-la-la La-la-la La La
I got love for you
I got love for you

Another evening’s come and the moon is high
But I know that tonight is the night that I might cry
Because I know you’re going
And I know you’re leaving
To somewhere you hope to find the peace of mind you’re seeking

In the back of a greyhound bus, it’ll take you far
In the back of a greyhound bus you can be who you are

State Radio: "Keepsake"

One gonna heal my body, another gonna heal my pain
One gonna settle me down, then bring me back up again
I’m gonna put my family back together again

One gonna hold my woman, another gonna hold my job
One gonna help me get up, another gonna help me stop
One gonna help me talk right, one gonna lay me down to sleep

(Humming)

One gonna hold my thoughts and another gonna hold my bones
One gonna keep me warm and another gonna keep me cold
One gonna bring religion, right from a Coleman stove

One gonna help me keep em’ another gonna help me tame
One gonna run me down (Hell a bullets in my way)
You’re gonna keep my soul it was yours to have long ago

(Humming)

I’m gonna buckle my belt around the ceiling pipe
I’m gonna buckle my knees and I’m gonna lock em’ up tight
I’m gonna hold a pen while you drag my arm across the page

One gonna hold my memories, another gonna close the door
One gonna leave me restless, another wanting more
You’re gonna keep my soul it was yours to have long ago

(Humming)

i wish i had a someone like this and that i
could sing like this with that someone.
beautiful in the same way that j.crew tries
to make their "boyfriend jeans" look
in their catalog.
