That was my theme song in my younger days!

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Nice rock.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Okay, my feet are moving, but I'm at work so that's all I can move, NOT FAIR!

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Do you dance?

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Summer lovely...

[Terabitten]

Do you dance?

No, but I wish I did. I'm rated C for Caucasian: Keep OFF the dance floor.

I do a decent job of jumping around on stage when I have a guitar, but that's about it.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

That's nice, Valerie. I have never seen a sunflower photographed with the sun behind it like that...

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Take dance lessons...you understand rythm so that's part of it. You tap your toe in time to the beat, don't you?

[Terabitten]

OK, what songs did they sing? I mean, famous songs.

Their most famous hit was "How High the Moon." They also did "Smoke Rings," "Frankie and Johnny," and my favorite, "Blues Stay Away from Me."

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Please post the words...

[Terabitten]

The rhythm isn't the problem - it's the coordination lol. :) By the way, does this mean I'm forgiven for the cat jokes? :D

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Yes, you are forgiven the cat jokes (- as long as I can throw more cat toys at you at the next cat joke.) I enjoy a verbal tango - with the cat jokes... I had a friend whose own kids had cats, but she would tell me that cats were the other white meat when I talked about my cat.

You can get the coordination down with practice. Do you know any marshall(sp) arts or play any sports? They both require coordination. (It also helps if you're dancing to dance-able music, not head-banger stuff.)

[Terabitten]

Your wish is, of course, my command.

Can't You

Watch my back
And I'll watch yours
Stab my back
And I'll watch my blood flow
Sinking down
Bridge of lies I'm walking on
Should be clear
That something's going on


Can't you taste my fear
Can't you see me start to rise
Through the veil of your tears
To the pain of your surprise

Truth can hurt
Worse than lies
Nothing worse
Than a friendship once denied
Consoling me
Know you won't succeed
Sun goes down
On what was you and me

Can't you taste my fear
Can't you feel me start to rise
Through the veil of tears
To the pain of your surprise

Nothing more to say
Nothing to give away
Nothing else to change

Can't you taste my fear
Can't you feel me start to rise
Through the veil of tears
To the pain of your surprise

[Terabitten]

Yeah, you can throw more cat toys at me. Although, if you throw the actual cat, it'll be kinda like skeet shooting :)

I did study some martial arts and play some sports, but you've yet to convince me. Maybe trying to dance to Guns n' Roses wasn't the right idea lol...

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Thank you, very nice. Looks like tragically single creative writing therapy, no?

Okay for my next wish, I would like to own those sundresses I posted for Billie the other day...(I don't really think Amy wants them on her credit card...)

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

I luvs the kitties, I would never throw a cat!

I can't think of any dancable Guns and Roses songs, though I don't think I've listened to anything more than what has gotten radio play. The War song Victoria played is dancable.

[Terabitten]

Thank you, very nice. Looks like tragically single creative writing therapy, no?

Actually that song was written for my two neighbors who were having a very public spat on their back porch (I live in an apartment complex). The argument bounced around the themes of betrayal and being "stabbed in the back." The argument occured near sundown, hence the line about the sun going down on what was you and me.

Sometime I'll finish recording the stuff I wrote when I first became Tragically Single. I'll have to, uh, sanitize the lyrics a bit, though, lol...

That line said to me that it was the end of the relationship, as when the sun goes down it is the end of the day.

Yes, we do have a nanny net here...

I'm fascinated by lyrics with multiple meanings... that's one of them :)

[Victoria Delsoul]

I'll take a look when I come back. See ya later.
