squint your eyes and look closer
I'm not between you and your ambition
I am a poster girl with no poster
I am thirty-two flavors and then some
and I'm beyond your peripheral vision
so you might want to turn your head
cause someday you might find you're hungry
and eat most of the words you said
both my parents taught me about good will
and I have done well by their names
just the kindness I've lavished on strangers
is more than I can explain
still there's many who've turned out their porch lights
just so I would think they were not home
and hid in the dark of their windows
til I'd passed and left them alone
and god help you if you are an ugly girl
course too pretty is also your doom
cause everyone harbors a secret hatred
for the prettiest girl in the room
and god help you if you are a pheonix
and you dare to rise up from the ash
a thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy
while you are just flying back
I'm not trying to give my life meaning
by demeaning you
and I would like to state for the record
I did everything that I could do
I'm not saying that I'm a saint
I just don't want to live that way
no, I will never be a saint
but I will always say
squint your eyes and look closer
I'm not between you and your ambition
I am a poster girl with no poster
I am thirty-two flavors and then some
And I'm beyond your peripheral vision
So you might want to turn your head
Cause someday you might find you are starving
and eating all of the words you said
They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you will know know know
I ain't got the time and if Mummy thinks I'm fine
They tried to make me go to rehab but I won't go go go
I would rather stay at home with May
I ain't don't got seventy days
Cause there is nothing
There is nothing you can teach me
That I can not learn from Mistress Hathaway
I don't got a lot in class
But I know it doesn't come in a shot glass
They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you will know know know
I ain't got the time and if Mummy thinks I'm fine
They tried to make me go to rehab but I won't go go go
The man said 'why do you think you are here'
I said 'I got no idea
I'ma gonna, I'ma gonna lose my baby
so I always keep a bottle near'
She said 'I think you are depressed,
diss me baby, and the rest'
They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you will know know know
I ain't got the time and if Mummy thinks I'm fine
They tried to make me go to rehab but I won't go go go
I don't ever wanna drink again
I just ooh need a friend
I'm gonna spend ten weeks
have everyone think I'm got on the mend
It's not just my pride
It's just 'till these tears have dried
They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you will know know know
I ain't got the time ................
G'day WA2K, back to work today,
Enjoyed Barry's trio. Wouldn't let me watch Elvis, I'll try & find it.
Enjoyed Kenny & the ceili music, I'm well used to them, my daughter
used to be an Irish Dancer, so we'd have to attend 2 to 3 ceili's a week.
Happy Birthday to the ageless David Bowie. Long ago I used to have a
retail store in Dublin city centre specialising in leather, Jackets that is.
I named the store Changes after Bowie's song. There's a flashback.
The man with the different colour eyes.
Aged 55 performing this in 2002, doesn't look it.
