I'D GIVE THIS ONE TO MIKE SCOTT: What happened was my brother Casey innocently asked me for some lyrics -- said he was having a drought of sorts, and asked if I would fire some stuff his way to stoke the flames. Anyway, the stuff is flowing. And this one I like:
THE SECRET OF LOVE
----------------------------
She liked to lie
but she didn't know it
She was made of evil things
but she didn't show it
She took me in
Then put me out
I never loved her...
Who's lying now?
She was full of sunshine
but smelled like rain
She gave me pleasure
that felt like pain
I thought I loved her
What did I know
Thought I was tied up
when I was free to go..
(chorus)
What kind of love makes you a prisoner?
What kind of lover breaks you down?
Why is it that I feel abandoned
even when she's still around...
She was just a schoolgirl
dressed like a lady
Knew how to charm me
by actin' shady
Never intended
to crush my spirit
I kept her secret
Want you to hear it...
(chorus)
What kind of love makes you a prisoner?
What kind of lover breaks you down?
Why is it that I feel abandoned
even when she's still around...

Those lyrics remind me that I was watching Ishtar on cable yesterday and told my wife "This is Scott Hess's favorite movie."
Uh oh. Bad, huh?
BTW, Ishtar is a great movie. Great. Not just good. Great.
I was thinking more along the lines of a different movie reference. These lyrics remind me of the "Jump to conclusions mat."
;)
That was a great movie.
OFFICE SPACE!
I like the last 2 verses. I can work with those...
