With tangerine trees and marmalade skies

I'll Sleep When I'm Dead
Warren Zevon

So much to do, there's plenty on the farm
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Saturday night I like to raise a little harm
I'll sleep when I'm dead

I'm drinking heartbreak motor oil and Bombay gin
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Straight from the bottle, twisted again
I'll sleep when I'm dead

Well, I take this medicine as prescribed
I'll sleep when I'm dead
It don't matter if I get a little tired
I'll sleep when I'm dead

I've got a .38 special up on the shelf
I'll sleep when I'm dead
If I start acting stupid
I'll shoot myself
I'll sleep when I'm dead

So much to do, there's plenty on the farm
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Saturday night I like to raise a little harm
I'll sleep when I'm dead

from "carmelita" by warren zevon

Well, I'm sittin' here playing solitaire
With my pearl-handled deck
The county won't give me no more methadone
And they cut off your welfare check

zevon could write

I've always been partial to this....

When I was just a baby, my mama told me, "Son,
Always be a good boy; don't ever play with guns."
But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.
When I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry.

Marie came home tattooed
It covers her back
It's god done in black
She says it protects me from you
- The Wrens

Andy walking
Andy tired
Andy take a little snooze
Tie him up while he's fast asleep
Send him on a pleasant cruise

I never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy?
Remember how I made you scream
Boys of Summer- Don Henley

classic song...talk about evoking a season and a time in one's life...it was like that for me...even on the East Coast...Ocean City Maryland.

'Cause I never felt the desire
'Til their music set me on fire
And then I was saved, yeah
Keeping The Faith- Billy Joel

from an eels song

and it's getting hard to tell where
what I am ends
and what they're making me begins
