I gave R a bunch of mix discs yesterday. We listened to them all night. I'm a happy camper. This song is on one of them. I know it's been done by a lot of people, but this is the version I've had in my head all day.

And it's six in the morning,
Gave me no warning -
I had to be on my way.
Well there's trucks all a-passing,
And the lights all are flashing,
I'm on my way home
From the place.

Well the sun's coming up,
I'm riding with Lady Luck.
Freeways, cars and trucks.
Stars beginning to fade.
And I lead the parade
Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer,
Oh Lord,
Let me tell you that the feeling's getting stronger.

Well, my time has come quickly,
I go lickety-splitly
Down to my old '55.
As I pulled away slowly,
I was feeling so holy,
God knows
I was feeling alive.

Now the sun's coming up,
I'm riding with Lady Luck,
Freeways,
cars
And trucks.
Freeways,
cars
And trucks.
Freeways,
Cars and trucks ...
- (the) Sarah McLachlan (version), "Ol' 55"

Just because I love love this song.

If you open your mind for me
You won't rely on open eyes to see
The walls you built within
Come tumbling down,
And a new world will begin.

Living twice at once you learn
You're safe from pain in the dream domain.
A soul set free to fly
A round trip journey in your head
Master of illusion,
Can you realize
Your dreams alive, you can be the guide but...

I will be watching over you.
I am gonna help you see it through.
I will protect you in the night.
I am smiling next to you.
- Queensryche, "Silent Lucidity"

yes, it's an inside joke that none of you will get. But it's gonna make me laugh my ass off every time I go back through my blog...

Ugly Betty, so what's it gonna be?
Will you stand up for yourself or will you leave?
Ugly Betty, the stars align for you.
The rest is up to what you make or do with it.

And how you bloom under sunshine;
What you are is beautiful.
Far beyond what the eye can see.
What you are is beautiful.
- Marie Digby, "Ugly Betty"

Love this song.

Independence
Is still important for us though
We realize -
It's easy to make
The stupid mistake
Of letting go.
Do you know what I mean?

My weaknesses,
You know each and every one
It frightens me.
But I need to drink
More than you seem to think
Before I'm anyone's.
And you know

It's a question of lust.
It's a question of trust.
It's a question of not letting what we've built up
Crumble to dust.
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together.

Kiss me goodbye
When I'm on my own
But you know that I'd
Rather be home.
- Depeche Mode, "A Question of Lust"

Because it was Ashton's first concert. And because R and I giggled like school girls when it came on last night while we were sitting on the couch listening to music.

I'll tell you what I want,
What I really really want.
So tell me what you want,
What you really really want.
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna,
I wanna really
Really really wanna zigazig ha.

If you wanna be my lover,
You gotta get with my friends.
Make it last forever
Friendship never ends,
If you wanna be my lover,
You have got to give.
Taking is too easy,
But that's the way it is.

What do you think about that now you know how I feel,
Say you can handle my love are you for real.
I won't be hasty,
I'll give you a try.
If you really bug me then I'll say goodbye.
-Spice Girls, "Wannabe"

Cuz life is too short to be miserable. And I love the instrumental introduction to this song and the music behind the lyrics.

Celebrate we will.
Cuz life is short but sweet for certain.
We're climbing
Two by two
To be sure these days continue.
These things we can not change.

Change.
Oh I want to change it.

Hey,
You came to me like wine
Comes to this mouth.
Grown tired of water all the time
You quench my heart and
You
Quench my mind.
- Dave Matthews Band, "Two Step"

This is consistently in my top 10 albums of all time.

What the fuck is this world
Running to?
You didn't
Leave a message, at least
I could've learned your voice one last time.

Daily minefield
This could be my time bout you.
Would you hit me?
Would you hit me?

All the bills go by
And inititatives are taken up
By the middle...
There ain't gonna be a middle anymore.
And the cross I'm bearing home,
Ain't indicative of my place
Left the porch
Left the porch.

Hear my name,
Take a good look.
This could be the day.
Hold my hand,
Walk beside me.
- Pearl Jam, "Porch"

This is the song that never ends.
It just goes on and on my friend.
Some people started singing it,
Not knowing what it was.
And they'll continue singing it
Forever just because

-(I have the) Shari Lewis (version in my head), "The Song That Never Ends"

I've been listening to this a lot yesterday and today - trying to get out of the Melissa Etheridge groove. They're good.

I'm feeling fine.
You're feeling the same.
You want it like that.
It was a romance.
It was a radio;
It was a radio,
It topped the radio.
Baby, come on

Damn it for understanding -
I'm always racing against my mind.
Take in consideration
But it's so easy to say goodbye.
- The Virgins, "Radio Christiane"

I'm back. And discovered several things on the Tracey Vacation. One of the least important is that this song is 7 minutes of sex - the rhythm, the way it builds, the way it ends - it's sex. Good sex. I just wish it lasted longer. ;) The rhythm on the guitar and the pacing of the words, oh my. Listen, though it doesn't come across quite as well in the live version. (And I hope to be off the Melissa Etheridge kick sometime soon. My apologies for having too many of her lyrics recently.)

Melissa Etheridge -Royal Station 4/16

It's so hard
To listen to these
Trains.
Outside my window
Here it comes
Again.
And it's calling me begging me
Follow me down the track.
And it moans so dark and low
Baby ain't comin' back.
I refuse to believe
It could happen to me
And you.
It's lonesome
And it's hard,
And it's true.

I've got this whisky
To take care of my lips.
I've got these long, cool, steel strings
At my fingertips.
And I ain't got nothing
To soothe my aching soul.
Except this screeching and screaming iron
To tell me where I ought to go.
- Melissa Etheridge, "Royal Station 4/16"
