All this talk of growing old
Is getting me down, my love
Like a cat in a bag
Waiting to drown
I know I'm coming down
And I hope you're thinking of me
As you lay down inside
Now the drugs don't work
They just make me worse
And I know I'll see your face again
'Cause baby
Oooh...
If heaven calls
I'm coming too
And baby
Oooh...
If heaven calls
I'm coming with you

But I know I'm on a losing string
I've passed down my own string
And if you wanna stop
Then give me a shout
And I'm running down, I know I will
But the drugs don't work
The just make me worse
And I know I'll see your face again
'Cause baby
Oooh...
If heaven calls
I'm coming too
And baby
Oooh...
If heaven calls
I'm coming too
Just like you said
I'm better dead
When I ain't got you
Just like you said
I'm better dead
When I ain't got you
But if you wanna show
Then just let me know
And I'll sing in your ear again
But the drugs don't work
They just make me worse
And I know I'll see your face again
Like a cat in a bag
Waiting to drown
I know I'm coming down
Now the drugs don't work
They just make me worse
And I know I'll see your face again

Yeah.. The Verve, they get me high in one moment and low in the next and it realy translates well in the heart. It resonates and rests and moves.

Shall I take your centre gently in my palm and nudge you up so you feel the gladness that I see when you think you show none....
Shall I show you how the things which come undone become the things that make us one?
And as we row along in these leaky vessels, rocks boaring new holes in our beautifully exposed bellies, these vessels show the scars of the wars which come unheeded.
Taking boats from sea to shore and planting foreign seeds. We cast our bodies downward to hide from the light .. shadows gravely swaying, mesmerizing with delight .. in darkness, deserving of no light....yet. somehow, despite otherwise utterances, it still shines and will shine more brightly as the seeds grow
But the scars still show.. fading silvery pink in the shivering stink of decay.. to be seen another day...
If I burn enough sweet grass the air tastes light. If I burn enough Sage, will I be one? I might...
But this night. This night.
I will rock myself gently in this feeble boat
allow the water swirling past to lead me to a moat
a chance to rest, to give myself what I so surely need.......
For when I seal the bandage, still the scar will sometimes bleed....
I need
for him to feel this.
I need for him to know
to be who I thought he was
to let me be me ..... happily.
But Oh God... now it hurts so much
If only he knew
if only......
then maybe.....
but
I know it has only begun
but
it really only takes one.
I will drag my sorry ass to the shower
and drench my body for an hour
I will look into my soul
maybe looking for that hole
it is gouged there, I know, I feel it here.....
here
and here
I name everything
everywhere I feel it
But the good thing about a name....
is once identified, it can be addressed.
To be aknowledged gives the demons a rest.
I want to feel. I know it is real and anything real can be fought.
Anything named can be sought.
Seek it out. Drag it out.
Fight it out and spit it out.
When you drag yourself up again,
we will be here to mend your pain.

The Verve... love them...

Butterfly

You could flap you wings a thousand miles away
Butterfly
A laughing salesman sings
His world so far away
Butterfly


Butterfly (repeat)


You could take the storm away forever every day
'Cause you're mine
And I don't know what to say
You could let my smile disappear for a year
'Cause you're mine
That's the only way I like it to be


Butterfly (repeat)


Now we get to the best part
It happens all the time, telling me all your lies
You get your kicks from seeing me on the floor
Tied to your bed
Tied to the things you said
Butterfly comming back
Butterfly coming back


Butterfly

... and some more Verve..

See You in the Next One (Have a good time)

How hard is it for me to wait for you, my love
See you in the next one have a good time
Could be a lifetime before I see you again, my love
See you in the next one have a good time

Eyes they open wide
Eyes they open wide
I like the way it was
Hate the way it is now

Lack of time and a wasted weekend
You wore your lies like a film star

Eyes they open wide
Eyes they open wide
I like the way it was
Hate the way it is now

On Your Own

Tell me what you seen
Was it a dream?
Was I in it?
Life seems so obscene
Until it's over
Who knows?

All I want is someone who can fill the hole
In the life I know
In between life and death
When there's nothing left
Do you wanna know?

You come in on your own
And you leave on your own
Forget the lovers you've know
And your friends on your own

Tell me if it's true
That I need you
You are changing
I've seen this road before down on this floor
It is hurting me

All I want is someone
Who can fill the hole
In the life I know
In between life and death
When there's nothing left
Do you want to know?

You come in on your own
And you leave on your own
Forget the lovers you've know
And your friends on your own
You come in on your own
And you leave on your own
Forget the lovers you've know
And your friends you have told

Lies
I've got to get rid of this hole inside
Lies
I've got to get rid of this hole inside
I'm coming in on my own
I'm coming in on my own
I'm coming in on my own
Lies
I've got to get rid of this hole inside
Lies
I've got to get rid of this hole inside
Lies
I've got to get rid of this hole inside...
