One of my Most Precious Songbird Queen's ...Rikki Lee Jones
 ... Danny's All-Star Joint ...  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jr58aeOySAg&feature=related Downstairs at danny's all-star joint They got a juke box that goes doyt-doyt The vice is nice, they stay in the back all day But when the nighttime comes, hey-hey There's this cat down there that makes a bad kinda soup I come around struttin' my luck in my shoop coupe Cecil gives me coffee And he won't never take my coin I say, " I got thirty dollars in my pocket! Whatchoo doin' ? " I holler, " Come on, Cecil, take a dollar! Come on, Cecil, take a ten! I've finally geared up into a whole buncha big ones And you're actin' like I'm down-shiftin' " He knows all the under-riders on the boulevard They got to barefoot cruise when it's forty-weight hard They look particularly dead-beat Permanently pale Cecil picks up his butcher knife Waves it at the jail The kid say, " I ain't got no dough, Joe, I just want some o.j " I said, " Don't look at me " Cuz he was lookin' my way Cecil wink upon him some juice and some green And the kid walks over and puts the quarter in the pinball machine And he says, " Come on, Cecil, gimme a dollar Come on Cecil gimme five I'm in a half-way house on a one-way street And I'm a quarter past left alive " He can talk about your people in a wonderful way He can talk about your people 'til your hair turns grey Your sister's into mustard She loves to walk the pub She likes the pickles and the relish she never gets enough A Hershey milkshake steamin' on a stick For a Card Blanché sandwich Oh, lettuce get thick It's not because I'm dirty It's not because I'm clean It's not because I kiss the boys behind the magazine Hey boys? How 'bout a fight? Cuz here comes Rickie with the girdle on tight And if she don't know your name She knows what you got From Your matzo balls To the chicken-in-the-pot Chicken-in-the-pot Chicken-in-the-pot Downstairs at Danny's All Star Joint They got a juke box that goes doyt-doyt A finger-snappin' deluxe Make your be-bop bap And your R&B hep-scat You can't break the rules until you know how to play the game But if you just want to have a little fun You can mention my name Keep your feet in the street Your toes in the lawn But keep your business in your pocket This is it were it belongs Come on Cecil, take a dollar Come on Cecil, take a tip Do yourself a favor If she offers it - take it But honey, don't give it away if he don't appreciate it |

Rickie Lee Jones - Chuck E's In Love ...
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQBOcIGXsWo&feature=related How come he don't come and p.l.p. with me Down at the meter no more? How come he turn off the TV And he hang that sign on the door? We call and we call "How come?" we say What could make a boy behave this way? He learn all of the lines, and every time he don't stutter when he talk And it's true! It's true! He sure is acquired a cool and inspired sorta jazz when he walk Where's his jacket and his old blue jeans? If this ain't healthy is it some kinda clean? I think that Chuck E's in love Chuck E's in love I don't believe what you're saying to me This is something I gotta see Is he here? Look in the poolhall Is he here? Look in the drugstore Is he here? No, he don't come here no more I'll tell you what I saw him He was sittin' behind us down at the Pantages And whatever it is that he's got up his sleeve I hope it isn't contagious What's her name? Is that her there? Christ, I think he's even combed his hair! Is that her? What's her name? Oh, it's never going to be same. But that's not her I know what's wrong-- Chuck E's in love with the little girl who's singing this song Chuck E's in love Chuck E's in love with me ...

 ... Now?! I NEED a Fierce, Eirish Shoutin' Femme Crooner in this thread! Solid ... Homeland thrust, hoooorah! ...  ... Clean~up ... Kooyanisquatsi = Life in disorder, crazy life, life that calls for CHANGE!!! BansheeLike War Cry ... ... O' = THE family of ...  Dolores O'Riordan of THE Cranberries ... Zombie ...   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZJHZLFCwjE&feature=related ...Another head hangs lowly, Child is slowly taken. And the violence caused such silence, Who are we mistaken? But you see, it's not me, it's not my family. In your head, in your head they are fighting, With their tanks and their bombs, And their bombs and their guns. In your head, in your head, they are crying... In your head, in your head, Zombie, zombie, zombie, Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head, In your head, Zombie, zombie, zombie? Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, dou, dou, dou, dou, dou... Another mother's breakin', Heart is taking over. When the vi'lence causes silence, We must be mistaken. It's the same old theme since nineteen-sixteen. In your head, in your head they're still fighting, With their tanks and their bombs, And their bombs and their guns. In your head, in your head, they are dying... In your head, in your head, Zombie, zombie, zombie, Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head, In your head, Zombie, zombie, zombie? Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, oh, oh, Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, oh, ya, ya-a... |

Rickie Lee Jones: Coolsville ...
 ... live http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6bLAI77j40&feature=related ...I and Braggar, and Junior Lee, well that's the way we always thought it would be In the wind-strewn leaves of September, how we met Decked out like aces, we'd beat anybody's bet Cuz we was Coolsville....cuz we was Coolsville Well you stick it here; you stick it over there; but it never fits And now a hungry night you want more and more and you chip in your little kiss. Well, I jumped all his jokers, but he trumped all my tricks And I swear to God I thought this one was smart enough to stick it into Coolsville.....yeah stick it into Coolsville... So now it's J and B, and me, and that sounds close, but it ain't the same (well, that's okay) Hot City don't hurt that much but everything feels the same Well the real thing come and the real thing go... Well the real thing is back in town... Ask me if you wanna know The way to Coolsville.... (Well I hear you wanna go back to Coolsville... Well come on honey, take you back...to Coolsville) |

Fiona Apple - "I Want You" ...
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAJ2HK2Epqs ...Oh my baby baby I love you more than I can tell I don't think I can live without you And I know that I never will Oh my baby baby I want you so it scares me to death I can't say anymore than "I love you" Everything else is a waste of breath I want you You've had your fun you don't get well no more I want you Your fingernails go dragging down the wall Be careful darling you might fall I want you I woke up and one of us was crying I want you You said "Young man I do believe you're dying" I want you If you need a second opinion as you seem to do these days I want you You can look in my eyes and you can count the ways I want you Did you mean to tell me but seem to forget I want you Since when were you so generous and inarticulate I want you It's the stupid details that my heart is breaking for It's the way your shoulders shake and what they're shaking for it's knowing that he knows you now after only guessing I want you It's the thought of him undressing you or you undressing I want you He tossed some tattered compliment your way I want you And you were fool enough to love it when he said "I want you" I want you The truth can't hurt you it's just like the dark It scares you witless But in time you see things clear and stark I want you Go on and hurt me then we'll let it drop I want you I'm afraid I won't know where to stop I want you I'm not ashamed to say I cried for you I want you I want to know the things you did that we do too I want you I want to hear he pleases you more than I do I want you I might as well be useless for all it means to you I want you Did you call his name out as he held you down I want you Oh no my darling not with that clown I want you You've had your fun you don't get well no more I want you No-one who wants you could want you more I want you Every night when I go off to bed and when I wake up I want you I want you I'm going to say it again 'til I instill it I know I'm going to feel this way until you kill it I want you I want you |

George Jones - He Stopped Loving Her Today ...
Canned ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRK--ahPd3s&feature=related Live ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmXmYsYwUq4&feature=PlayList&p=DF5679BFAEA988F5&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=64 ...He said I'll love you 'til I die She told him you'll forget in time As the years went slowly by She still preyed upon his mind He kept her picture on his wall Went half crazy now and then He still loved her through it all Hoping she'd come back again Kept some letters by his bed Dated 1962 He had underlined in red Every single I love you I went to see him just today Oh but I didn't see no tears All dressed up to go away First time I'd seen him smile in years (Chorus) He stopped loving her today They placed a wreath upon his door And soon they'll carry him away He stopped loving her today (Spoken) You know she came to see him one last time Oh and we all wondered if she would And it kept running through my mind This time he's over her for good |
