Once upon a time, a long time ago, a small miracle took place in the brain of a man named Solomon Linda. It was 1939, and he was standing in front of a microphone in the only recording studio in black Africa when it happened. He hadn’t composed the melody or written it down or anything. He just opened his mouth and out it came, a haunting skein of fifteen notes that flowed down the wires and into a trembling stylus that cut tiny grooves into a spinning block of beeswax, which was taken to England and turned into a record that became a very big hit in that part of Africa.

I like this Mia girl more than I like My Chemical Romance but it is their song
My Chemical Romance I Don't Love You Lyrics:
Well, when you go
dont ever think I'll make
you try to stay
And maybe when you get back
I'll be off to find another way
When after all this
time that you still
owe
You're still the
good-for-nothing I
don't know
So take your gloves and get out
Better get out
While you can
When you go
Would you even turn to say
"I don't love you
Like I did
Yesterday"
Sometimes I cry so
hard from pleading
So sick and tired
of all the needless
beating
But baby when they knock you
Down and out
It's where you oughta stay
And after all the blood
that you still owe
Another dollar's
just another blow
So fix your eyes and get up
Better get up
While you can
Whoa, whoa
When you go
Would you even turn to say
"I don't love you
Like I did
Yesterday"
Well come on, come on
When you go
Would you have the guts to say
"I don't love you
Like I loved you
Yesterday"
Say,I don't love you
Like I loved you
Yesterday
Say, I don't love you
Like I loved you
Yesterday
Lyrics: I Don't Love You, My Chemical Romance [end]

It's Clapton, unplugged..
I used to think Clapton was "dirty".. then my world view changed..
:)
What'll you do when you get lonely
And nobody's waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long.
You know it's just your foolish pride.
Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.
I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down.
Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
Turned my whole world upside down.
Let's make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane.
Please don't say we'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain.
:)
and..
nobody loves you.. when youre down and out..
Patty could have told him to go screw himself..
well.. it's a chance we take..

Ive loved Tull for a long time since i first saw them in the very early 70's
as it is you have me revisiting my mid 70's british folk rocky stuff that I had a huge fixation on at the time and havent heard in way too long.
Right at this moment Im listening to some old
Steeleye Span
