Thanks Ysh. What can I get you?

Here's another Melissa Etheridge. A bit less sad, more desperate and lustful and reckless and...well, er, here it is anyway

"I Want to Come Over"

I know you're home
You left your light on
You know I'm here
The night is thin

I know you're alone
I watched the car leave
Your lover is gone
Let me in

Open your back door
I just need to touch you once more

I want to come over
To hell with the consequence
You told me you love me
That's all I believe
I want to come over
It's a need I can't explain
To see you again
I want to come over

I know your friend
You told her about me
She filled you with fear
Some kind of sin
How can you turn
Denying the fire
Lover I burn
Let me in

Open your back door
I just need to touch you once more

I want to come over
To hell with the consequence
You told me you love me
That's all I believe
I want to come over
It's a need I can't explain
To see you again
I want to come over

I know you're confused
I know that you're shaken
You think we'll be lost
once we begin
I know you're weak
I know that you want me
Lover don't speak
Let me in

I want to come over
To hell with the consequence
You told me you love me
That's all I believe
I want to come over
It's a need I can't explain
I want to come over
to see you
see you again

You know what you have done? You have made me curious about what the heck Patsy song is on that tape! Now I have to go find the dang thing and listen to it.

Err, not my intention, sorry

Also, as a note to all: It's all very well and good to take this VDay as an opportunity for self-pity and all, but I expect you all to be much cheerier tomorrow ... make that the day after tomorrow -- there is a bit too much drinking going on here for anybody to be feeling chipper the next day.
Let's not make this a way of life or anything, right?

It's the Valentine's thread, not the lifetime thread. Tomorrow I'll go right straight back to my silent b***ching and moaning

I've just come back home from 4 star hotel/restaurant, after 11 hours running around with pots & pans, and washing dishes after happy people had dinner with steak/salmon for main, glass of champaign, and... oysters.

Things didn't go too badly, though. The floor manager gave me and a friend free glass of champaign, and I came back with a plate of roast beef dinner.

In the spirit of patsy Cline, I offer another old country song.

Crazy Arms by Ray Price

Now blue ain't the word
For the way I that I feel
And the storms brewing in this heart of mine
This ain't no crazy dream
I know that it's real
Your someone else's love now your not mine

Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
For my yearning heart keeps saying your not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
And thats why I'm lonely all the time

So please take the treasued dreams
I have for you and me
and take all the love I thought was mine
Someday my crazy arms
May hold somebody new
But now I'm so lonely all the time

There's just nothing that says heartbreak like country

Hmm, the thread seems kind of slow. Maybe everyone found dates LOL

@Minerva: At least you're home now, and you got some free stuff. Care for a beer?

Well, it's time this old maid got some sleep. This thread has been a lot of fun. Thanks for making it happen

Feel free to stick around and help yourselves to the bar.

Good night, God bless us everyone, and all like that

It's official - Valentine's Day causes indigestion

Yep, I woke up in the middle of the night feeling not at all well... I can only conclude this was brought on by the nausea of all those happy couples being cute...

I seem to have just missed your invitation to a beer last night.

If you don't mind, I'm quite happy to celebrate "Good-bye Valentine's Day" Day with a few pint, from today till 13th Feb 2003, though.

OMG, you know what? The same thing happened to me. I'm not kidding. Hmm, I think there's something to that...

@Minerva: Sure!! "Goodbye Valentine's Day"! *cracks open another Killian's* Help yourself!

*AN wakes up with massive hangover, wonders where he is and when that damned blasted sunlight would go away. *

*Sees Minerva and Der Toasting the end of Valentine's Day, decides to do the same, Pours himself one last shot, and toasts the end of that damnblasted Valentine's Day.*

Gwalchmai, you may just have something there! Do you have any songs you would like to contribute to our Kareoke of Despair?

Are you suggesting that I am poor, ugly, unknown and therefore must write songs? Well, I am not musically inclined, but here’s a song that used to get me through all my busted relationships in college:

Pretty women out walking with gorillas down my street
From my window I'm staring while my coffee grows cold
Look over there! (Where?)
There's a lady that I used to know
She's married now, or engaged, or something, so I am told

Is she really going out with him?
Is she really gonna take him home tonight?
Is she really going out with him?
'Cause if my eyes don't deceive me,
There's something going wrong around here

Tonight's the night when I go to all the parties down my street
I wash my hair and I kid myself I look real smooth
Look over there! (Where?)
Here comes Jeanie with her new boyfriend
They say that looks don't count for much
If so, there goes your proof

Is she really going out with him?
Is she really gonna take him home tonight?
Is she really going out with him?
'Cause if my eyes don't deceive me,
There's something going wrong around here

But if looks could kill
There's a man there who's marked down as dead
Cause I've had my fill
Listen you, take your hands off her head
I get so mean around this scene

Is she really going out with him?
Is she really gonna take him home tonight?
Is she really going out with him?
'Cause if my eyes don't deceive me
There's something going wrong around here

“Is She Really Going Out With Him?”
( Joe Jackson )

@SS: That is a bummer. I myself had a dream-filled night, but unfortunately the one I long for never even had the decency to put in an appearance. How typical. Anyway...

@AN: Try this. *Hands AN Der-draigen's Super-Duper Special-Effective Top-Secret Hangover Remedy*

So how's your valentine days folks ? I just spent my evening at home listening to Gloria Gaynors "Can't take my eyes of you"

More Beer!!

Thanks to DW for this one

"I Will Never Be the Same"
Melissa Etheridge

So you walked with me for a while
Bared your naked soul
And you told me of your plan
How you would never let them know
In the morning of the night
You cried a long lost child
And I tried, oh I tried to hold you
but you were young
and you were wild

But I
I will never be the same
oh I
I will never be the same
Caught in your eyes
Lost in your name
I will never be the same

Secrets of your life
I never wanted for myself
But you guarded them like a lie
placed upon the highest shelf
In the morning of the night
When I woke to find you gone
I knew your distant devil
must be draggin' you along

But I
I will never be the same
oh I
I will never be the same
Caught in your eyes
Lost in your name
I will never be the same

And you swore that you were bound for glory
And for wanting you had no shame
But I loved you
and then I lost you
and I will never be the same

Oh I
I will never be the same
I
I will never be the same
Caught in your eyes
Lost in your name
I will never be the same

@Der-D another of my favourites, that one

Yet another Melissa!

Bring Me Some Water

Tonight I feel so weak
But all in love is fair
I turn the other cheek
And I feel the slap and the sting of the foul night air
And I know you’re only human
And I haven’t got talking room
But tonight while I’m making excuses
Some other woman is making love to you

Someone bring me some water
Can’t you see I’m burning alive
Can’t you see my baby’s got another lover
I don’t know how I’m going to survive
Somebody bring me some water
Can’t you see it’s out of control
Baby’s got my heart, and my baby’s got my mind
But tonight the sweet devil, sweet devil’s got my soul

When will this aching pass
When will this night be through
I want to hear the breaking glass
I only feel the steel of the red hot truth
And I’d do anything to get you out of my mind
I need some insanity, that temporary kind
Tell me, how will I ever be the same
When I know that woman is whispering your name

Someone bring me some water
Can’t you see I’m burning alive
Can’t you see my baby’s got another lover
I don’t know how I’m going to survive
Somebody bring me some water
Can’t you see it’s out of control
Baby’s got my heart, and my baby’s got my mind
But tonight the sweet devil, sweet devil’s got my soul

Oh, devil’s got my soul

Someone bring me some water
Can’t you see I’m burning alive
Can’t you see my baby’s got another lover
I don’t know how I’m going to survive
Somebody bring me some water
Can’t you see it’s out of control
Baby’s got my heart, and my baby’s got my mind
But tonight the sweet devil, sweet devil’s got my soul

*sniff*....*sniff*...

*collaspes onto Yshania's shoulder*

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



*sniff*

Much of that rings true...but not all, thank God...

@Der-Draigen
*hug*
I find Melissa Etheridge expresses pain so well...... it comes from deep inside. I highly recommend her debut album, which I bought just last weekend. Cheers to Yshania for the introduction.

*hugs her friend* don't worry! we will endeavour to retrieve your soul
