![]() Sweet Old World (1992) [ larger cover art ] |
Just a shakin' in my knees, just a cold chill
Don't know what it is, just call it a thrill
Just a lump in my throat, just hot blood
Don't know what it is, some call it love
Well I saw you out in your car
You had the top down, you were drivin' real slow
Well I saw you in the grocery store
Buyin' tomatoes for a casserole
Well I saw you in the laundrymat
Washin' your clothes, gettin' all the dirt out
Well I saw you with your car broke down
Fixin' your flat with a tire iron

This is the second time I've used this same comment tonight (first time in reference to someone disliking Thom Yorke's voice on a Radiohead In Rainbows track), but it's the only authentic reaction I can muster: In all due respect, are you out of your mind? |

| Curio | Posted: Dec 30, 2009 - 10:02 Incredibly dull, but then again this type of music isn't really my thing usually. Each to his own though. |

Would have thought it would have a little higher average rating - at least somewhere in the 6's. The whole song is so sultry ... I love the way she delivers the lines. This is just sleazy, bad-ass stuff! ![]() |

| sass (Caledonia) | Posted: Feb 17, 2009 - 18:06 Bill, How about restoring "Right in Time" to the playlist and seeing if it draws the same reaction.... Personally, I think Lucinda's even better there. |

I love music. Expand your circle, please. |
| BWolfie1959 | Posted: Dec 16, 2008 - 11:07 Hey Maybe Bill plays it cause some of us had still not heard it, and I thoght it was good. Never had heard it before. I like it. Nice and peaceful. |
