Good Lyrics

Words caught my attention when driving today-- some great songs on the radio that just put together some wonderful phrasing. Thought I'd share!

Oh poor grey Sita
Tragic little teacup
Did he go and shatter you again?
But the way that you're cryin'
Is more like a lion
Little wounds before she seeks revenge
- Bishop Allen, "The Lion & The Tea Cup" from the album "Grrr..."

And if I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat
- Lyle Lovett, "If I Had a Boat" from the album "Anthology, Vol. 1: Cowboy Man"


All the bad boys are standing in the shadows
All the good girls are home with broken hearts
- "Free Fallin'" -original lyrics obviously by Tom Petty, but brought to new life by a great John Mayer cover

How was YOUR Monday?

Exhausting, aggravating, over.

Most Mondays are like that until I get home to Meaghan's smile.
