The Bar

Sorry, Sput... I'm stuck on Willy right now:

Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
And maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have

If I made you feel second best
Girl I'm sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

And maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely.. lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine

Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me..
Tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me..
Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied
I'll keep you satisfied

Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind..

Sam, Willy has such a whiney voice that it get's stuck in my head and then I have to really bash myself hard to get rid of it. Nice words, but damn annoying to me.

Like good scotch, he's an aquired taste... not everyone likes him... I just like his soul...

Duh, it would have helped if I'd clicked on 'listen'. The magic of the internet isn't that magic yet...

What? No chocolate takers? Okaaaayyyy...

That's cool... I know people feel the same way about Dylan: Impossible to listen to... but his soul is so vivid... That's why I like everything from Mozart to Dylan to Tom Waits to Robert Johnson: Soul.

speaking of Tom Waits:

Outside another yellow moon
Has punched a hole in the nighttime, yes
I climb through the window and down to the street
And I'm shining like a new dime
The downtown trains are full with all of those Brooklyn girls
They try so hard to break out of their little worlds

Well you wave your hand and they scatter like crows
They have nothing that will ever capture your heart
They're just thorns without the rose
Be careful of them in the dark
Oh, if I was the one you chose to be your only one
Oh baby can't you hear me now, can't you hear me now

Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
Every night it's just the same, you leave me lonely now

I know your window and I know it's late
I know your stairs and your doorway
I walk down your street and past your gate
I stand by the light at the four-way
You watch them as they fall, oh baby they all have heart attacks
They stay at the carnival, but they'll never win you back

Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
Where every night, every night it's just the same, oh baby
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
All of my dreams they fall like rain, oh baby on a downtown train

Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
Where every night, every night it's just the same, oh baby
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
All of my dreams just fall like rain, all on a downtown train
All on a downtown train, all on a downtown train
All on a downtown train, a downtown train

Are you talking the Willy Nelson talk? I loooove Willy. When I was little, and we'd go on trips, I'd fall asleep to my parents playing his tapes (or was that 8 tracks?). Someone I'd love to see live before he's gone. Missed out on the Johnny.

samtzu · Post by **samtzu** » Tue Dec 14, 2004 7:58 pm

Here ya' go, Tarte (sorry everyone... last cut and paste for the night)

i hurt myself today
to see if i still feel
i focus on the pain
the only thing that's real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but i remember everything
what have i become?
my sweetest friend
everyone i know
goes away in the end
you could have it all
my empire of dirt
i will let you down
i will make you hurt
i wear this crown of shit
upon my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
i cannot repair
beneath the stains of time
the feelings disappear
you are someone else
i am still right here
what have i become?
my sweetest friend
everyone i know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt
i will let you down
i will make you hurt
if i could start again
a million miles away
i would keep myself
i would find a way

Dammit, I had to take care of the baby so I missed stuff.

Okay, what did Uber say? Just that? Ooookaaaaaay.

Christmas gift-wrapped box of clue. It's weird and it's creepin' people out. It's like *stalking*. I mean, I'm not the recipient so it's probably not my place to talk (but when the hell has that stopped me?), but If you're feeling a general sense of alientation around here it's because of that and the whole... haxor D00d speak affectation thingy. I'm not telling you what to do... but I'm letting you know what the results are of your communication style.

Anywho, did I miss all the cuddling?

You ain't missed nothin', MISS Love. We're savin' the best for you!

...There's room on the sofa, Ms. Love... come on over and climb under the blanket...

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Tue Dec 14, 2004 8:07 pm

Did somebody say Dark Chocolate, I'll have some of that and an Irish coffee.

sparkletarte · Post by **sparkletarte** » Tue Dec 14, 2004 8:15 pm

Whew, finally, a taker, I was beginning to get worried.

Here you are ZG, let me introduce you to some very fine dark, 70 proof, seasoned with cinnamon, nutmeg, and a touch or orange.

Hmm, I want to climb under the blanket too, but no, too much work to do. Must. resist. distractions.

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Tue Dec 14, 2004 8:15 pm

Goodnight all.

It's been an interesting evening from the perspective of the barstool.

Sparkletarte It's virtual you can carry the warm feeling of your cuddling friends with you while you work.

Night, all.... gotta' sleep, work tomorrow...

Sure love you guys....

Sensei · Post by **Sensei** » Tue Dec 14, 2004 8:42 pm

Nitey-nite Samtzu.

Ok, the kids are droppin' like flies around here. Time to bring out the hookah. Got this little golden pancake here with a couple of crossed swords on one side. Lemme break of a li'l chunk...

sparkletarte · Post by **sparkletarte** » Tue Dec 14, 2004 8:43 pm

Oh geez, I'd love to help you with that...however every time I do and then sit in front of my computer I get all weirded out and have to stop looking at my computer and go do something else.

sparkletarte · Post by **sparkletarte** » Tue Dec 14, 2004 8:48 pm

Oh yeah, nite Sam!

I wish I knew how to stream. I've just put on a friend's new house cd, lively and fun, that would go well with the pancake and pick up the place a little.

Anyone know how to help me share in less than 3 easy steps?

Oh fuck... did I miss the Lower Level again? Can't seem to make it to the real bar...

tisha2 · Post by **tisha2** » Tue Dec 14, 2004 11:27 pm

* an exhausted bartendress stumbles in from the back (does she ever leave this place?) where she has been indulging in an addictive virtual life pretending to be a struggling single mom with two jobs (picked up an extra for the holidays...) and two kids (picked up an extra.. just in case), a virtual life that takes FAR too much away from her *real* life as a freewheeling bartender and proprietress out here on the playa. she has been remiss in her duties and feels it. she hunkers down at the end of the bar with the hookah and a fine ale. pulls a clove out of the pack that's been on the bar for days... turns to look at the jukebox and it instantly lights up and begins playing her friends cowboy-punk debut cd in it's entirety. *

yah.

that's better.

*exhale...*

Sensei · Post by **Sensei** » Tue Dec 14, 2004 11:32 pm

Don't bogart that hookah hose, Tish.

I'll have a margarita. Lotsa salt on the rim, please.

tisha2 · Post by **tisha2** » Tue Dec 14, 2004 11:40 pm

* turns to stare at sensei - considers telling him to get his own damn margarita, then suddenly remembers just how much she loves handling alcohol. she smiles, and leaps behind the bar. whips out the tequila and pours a swig into her own mouth before whipping up for sensei one perfectly balanced, salted rimmed, lime wheel adorned, margarita *

ahhh! that felt good!! it's on the house, baby!

* takes another pull on the bottle and shouts *

WHO WANTS A DRINK??!!
