Ruby and the dice
Ballad for Ruby and the Dice" Angie, she whispered through cigarette haze, The ghost of a name from my wilder days. Under my thumb, I thought hearts would stay, But wild winds never learn how to obey. Paint it black, I told the sky that night, When Ruby Tuesday danced out of sight. She wore her sorrow like lipstick red, And left my...

OH ANGIE my beau in morning light, We've rocked on all through the night. UNDER MY THUMB, our love still burns, Rolling dem stones to what she yearns. PAINT IT BLACK, let's sing the tune, Let it play from dawn to noon. YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT, But it sure pays to taunt and flaunt. Let's toss the TUMBLIN' DICE again, For...

Premium Member Beasts of Burden and Honkytonk Women
Angie and Ruby, the Honky Tonk Women, wanted to paint the honkytonk.  Their heads started swimmin' when I says, "Ruby, Tuesday's a good day to paint. It should be sunny, but even if it ain't, I'll have my radio blasting The Rolling Stones. What kind of colors you want? What tones?" "Paint it Black" says Ruby, but Angie, she says "white". I...

Premium Member Toccata and Fugue in D Minor
It begins with a sky-split cry— a blade of wind slicing the stillness, gulls scattering like torn pages as the sea holds its breath. Then comes the first thunderstroke, not from clouds, but from below— the ocean remembering its anger. The sea begins to speak in tongues— lightning dances across the waves. The ocean surges, climbs the wind, rising in spiraled towers of spray— a mind...

Words That I Can't Say
I wander the streets that my feet know you've roamed Back when you were still here and this city still felt like home I search for your shadow - love, where did you go? Without you, I'm nothing, so I turn to what I know Which is broken keys, broken melodies A broken song for a broken me I'm tongue-tied, can't...

Start Dancing
Remember to warm up before you start dancing with your cat It'll be a late night, the concert won't end till around 10 so we'll start dancing sometime around... It was so strange, but one of my favourite memories, that this song should just compel us to leap up and start dancing We'll all get very very drunk,...
