This is a damn fine song...
Thanks ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) eabezbguda for finding this song for me out of clear blue of the morning...
I've looked for it off and on since like 98 probably...
It’s a tune for those guys who find themselves wondering just how it always ends the way it does, even though it’s pretty plain to everyone else...
An age ago...one night near the tail end of the last century...I met this ‘lady-oh’ at a bar I worked at...one of those women who can make you dizzy from across a full room of losers and booze hounds...she beat me at a game of pool over light conversation about serendipity and Sinatra...later, drove me home and said goodnight with a few sweet kisses in the front seat beneath some late August gorgeousness...
Made her a mix-tape, and this was one of the tunes...seemed appropriate at the time...she was from out of town...they all are...heh
anyhoo...it reminds me of her...but it’s still relevant...I haven’t changed none too much.
When it comes to love, I think a lot of people have developed a kind of emotional gag-reflex you know...they can’t just swallow it whole, like a shot of whiskey that might or might not burn or make them sick later...can’t just live in the present, even though the laws of physics make it impossible to do otherwise.
I don’t know...guess I’ve never felt like a broken heart was near as bad as everyone makes it out to be...hell, it ain't dull...heh
But...this is the 21st century after all...natural laws do not apply.
No...I’ve no point to this...it’s just the song.
That, and I am the ‘emo-pansy’...heh...i find myself wondering about her every once in a blue moon...her and all the rest of them.
...
Anyhoo...the next page is go’n alright...it’s always a hoot to write dialogue for Lewis...:)
