I ain't here for fun
Can't be moved around
Maybe that means I can't
Give you a good time

I could spend my time
Looking at you
But as long as you're striving
I've got to do that too

Hard for you to know
I'm dripping of love
Hard to defend
I'm only dreaming of love

I'm not here to make
My voice heard
Maybe that makes me smaller
In this world

I could spend my time
Wishing I was like you
But if you think my life
Looks alright, i'll think so too

IMHO, There should be rules about people writing lyrics in a language other than their own.

Everybody knows Bill is but an elaborate and delicately, but not perfectly honed algorithm. Just like the rest of us. Sometimes a specific song might trigger the same sets of operations as before. Evoking an identical, or near identical, emotional response and association to another song. We are still half-machines. This is what will differentiate us from (possibly) future generations. The same sensory input producing a novel experience and intellectual output every time. Total creativity. Perhaps.
 

I have come to think Bill is a radio genius.

So, after the first piano chord I thought it was "Cirkus" by King Crimson.

Well, it wasn't.

^No. But I can attest to the fact that some of us grow weary of hearing nothing but incessant whining and derision from you for almost all music choices here on RP. Of course, everybody is fully entitled to their opinion on any given piece of music, but all you seem to do calle01 is bitch, bitch, bitch. This fact is clearly demonstrable with a glance at your ratings distribution. What remains beyond my grasp is why exactly you continue to listen to a station that you obviously have such a passionate dislike for. Baffling.

 
Thumbs up to you Jlan!  Well said...

There has got to be better music out there for Bill to choose from?? WTF!!

She does an amazing version of Dylan's "Most of the Time" on the soundtrack to "Masked and Anonymous."

Yeah hard to tell if it strikes me as an 8 because Landslide set a good tone.
Posted 10 years ago by luckywhitegirl    [ Reply ]
It's impossible for me to be objective about this song after grooving to Stevie Nicks singing Landslide.  No rating at this time.

But everyone at the Crematorium LOVES this song!!!

Still wish RP would rock harder and groove more, but nobody does romantic chick music better than Bill.

Amazingly coincidentally, I JUST now ordered her 5 CD collection. For an amateur, she sure gets it done — writing and singing.

This is really Shania Twain. She got dumped by her hubby, tired of country, and is starting over under a pseudonym.

I can't listen to this song without humming Terry Stafford's "Suspicion". The piano cords seem the same and the melody is nearly the same. The two songs can be laid over each other. Not that I remember songs from the early 60s...

Posted 17 years ago by Glockman45    [ Reply ]
When this song starts, I think I'm hearing the one by Holly Golightly w/ The Greenhornes. Replace the piano with a telecaster and they're identical in style and melody.
