Drinking To You

None of you dreamboats like to get drunk as bad as I do, it’s sad, but it’s true
Been drinking&smoking&wishing&hoping and all of the nights stink of you
Spend all day forgetting the dreams I’ve been having, I’m dreaming if you love me, too
Thought we were living together in sin and now I see you had no clue
Been sweeping&keeping the room all neat in case you maybe wanna pass through
Time to move on, find a plane, and get on with it somewhere where no one knows you
Everyone knows you’re no good with the roads
Pick up my love, drop me a line
On the coastline I am better than fine but I know it’s a matter of time
Your face is a secret with someone you just met and you know I’ll never ask why
So all you young dreamers and love freak believers: nobody drinks like we do
I can’t hold your hand and gin counts as a plan cause I’ll never get over you
You’re gone and my bones know it, too
Can you tell that I’ve had a few?
This next one goes out to you
For old time’s sake
I’ll drink to you

Honey

You’re just a spoonful of honey:
sugar and power and light
nothing about this seems funny
but I’m cracking you up tonight
You are my hero, my honey
don’t let them take me away
you are my playboy, my bunny
give it to me where I lay
You’re my old man, my old money
save you up for rainy days
lately though, it’s just been sunny
why don’t I want you today?

Dorianne
02:22
|
|

There is a poem by Dorianne about two lovers painting a kitchen, and there’s a line about a sweater the color of tender lemons, and the whole scene with the colors makes Dorianne consider her lovers and the passage of time, which is something I do when I miss you and something reminds, and I miss you, just a little, all of the time.

Louise

When one of ‘em’s cryin the other is tryin her best for the both of ‘em
They learned how to run and to fire their guns and to drive like the devil is chasin ‘em
All the men in America want a leggy woman
...even better if her hair is red and there are two of ‘em
If I ever end up a killer, I hope that I’ll be like Louise
She didn’t take lightly the end of a life, she just had no use for the police
I don’t have guns or any husbands, but suddenly I’ve gotta go
Buy an old Thunderbird, cut the sleeves off my shirt, and haul ass to Mexico
All the men in America want a leggy woman
...even better if her hair is red and there are two of ‘em
Nothing better than warm weather, the open road, and me and you
Nothing better than warm weather, the open road, and me and you
All the men in America want a leggy woman
...even better if her hair is red and there are two of ‘em

In Your Honor
02:54

|

stubborn as day
walking my way
everyone got shy in your honor
and I see you someway
sensitive boy
Helen of Troy
they did good when they put him together
he’s a dirty decoy
are you coming with me?
I like how you shake my cage at the end of the day
lumpy like clay
& all in my way
do we have to go straight through each other?
if we have to, okay
take you on the road
sing to you with my throat
show you mine on the side of the highway
til our mouths blow cold
are you coming with me?
I like how you shake my cage at the end of the day

I Want To
02:30

I’m nothin like the woman I think I’d like to be:
I’m only brave sometimes and I think like crazy
But I love the sound of your deep voice and I love your shoulders wide
I want to feel your love on me - come here a little while
I’m something like the woman I think I’d like to be:
I’m swimmin in my feelings and I’m learnin something
And I love the warm in your hand and I love your flickering eyes
I want to feel your love on me - come here a little while
I guess I’m just the woman I’m turning out to be:
I’m hungry for and lonesome in your sweet company
But I love your leather eyelids and I love your dirty smile
I want to feel your love on me - come here a little while

Boss Man

I got a thing for the bossman, baby
from 9-5 he just drives me crazy
one of these days I’m gonna tell him what to do
he’s building something from nothing, honey
he’s always biting his lip about money
I wish my only assignment was bringing him ease
oh I wish he would notice me workin hard in his factory
the man’s got all kinds of hold on me, yes he do
I like to think about maybe someday
it’s good to see him first thing Monday
and when I see him
it sweetens the grind
[all your sickness? I’d suck it up. throw it all at me, I’ll shrug it off. there’s one thing that I don’t understand… you keep on telling me I ain’t your kind of man. ain’t I rough enough? ain’t I tough enough? ain’t I rich enough? in love enough?]
oh I wish he would notice me working hard in his factory,
the man’s got all kinds of hold on me, yes he do
I got a thing for the boss man, baby
from 9-5 he just drives me crazy
one of these days I’m gonna tell boss man what to do
like call me into the office early
I know you’re busy, I know you worry
I know you’re busy, taking what’s mine
