I was kinda depressed today, and I didn't know why, so I listened to my Susan Greenbaum songs and I felt sorta better. I am going to write the lyrics of two of my favorites, I am sorta copying Stief's idea... but I dont know. If you dont like me doin it, Stief, jus' say so.

OKAY

Well, okay, it hurts a little
Well, okay, sometimes a lot
But I'm better of in the middle with the little bit I've got.

Well, okay, I should know better
Well, okay, I know I do
I could put it all in a letter that I'd never send to you.

I'm okay...

Well, okay, I'm nobody's lover
Well, okay, I'm everyone's friend
I can live with it under cover, rise above it and pretend.

Well, okay, I don't want to tell you
Well, okay, you already know
But feeling the way I do, it's impossible not to show.

I won't do what I cannot do
And I won't be what I cannot be
And as long as I am honest, I am free.

If there were any other way...
I'm okay... I'm okay... I'm okay.

Well, okay, I've gotta be going
Well, okay, I have nowhere to go
All these sterile seed I'm sowing, well, I'm getting to be a pro.

Well, okay, it's over and done with
Well, okay, this just starts it all
But if you think you can have fun with me, I won't answer when you call.

I won't do what I cannot do
And I won't be what I'll never be
And as long as I am faithful I am free.

If there were any other way...
I'm okay... I'm okay... I'm okay.


It's so sad, I almost wanna cry... And I don't even know why... *sigh* cello and piano and a good voice are the best trio in the world... anyway! Next song!


BIG SMALL TOWN

This is a big small town.

I know more about you than you think I do
I know more about you than you would ever want me to
I know, I know, I know...
I know when you're up and I know when you're down
I know when your leaves are turning from green to dirty brown
I know, I know, I know...

'Cuz this big city is a small, small town
Boy, you may be pretty, but the way you get around
You think you're flying high, but I see your sky falling down
This is a big small town

I know that someone is missing in your bed
I know that the someone is kissing other lips instead
I know, I know, I know...
I know that you're running like you always ran
I know that you'll get it anywhere, any way you can
I know, I know, I know...

'Cuz this big city is a small, small town
Boy, you may be pretty, but the way you get around
You think you're flying high, but I see your sky falling down
This is a big small town

I know you from top to bottom
Skeletons, I know you've got 'em
Keep 'em locked in the closet
Deep dark deposit
Hush, don't say anything...
Because it's easier that way

I know more about you than you think I do
I know more about you than you would ever want me to
I know, I know, I know...

'Cuz this big city is a small, small town
Boy, you may be pretty, but the way you get around
You think you're walking tall, but I see you fall like a clown..
This is a, this is a,
This big city is a small, small town
Boy, you may be pretty, but the way you get around
You think you're flying high, but I see your sky falling down...
This is a big small town...
This is a big small town...
This is a big small town...
This is a big small town...


Whew! That was a ton of work! My hands hurt and my right foot has fallen asleep. Time to hit the hay... bye!
