    Well you should see my story reading baby
    You should hear the things that she says
    She says: "Hun, drop dead, I'd rather go to bed
    With Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
    Cuddle up with William S. Burroughs.
    Leave on the lights for bell hooks.
    I been flirtin' with Peirre Burton
    'Cause he's so smertin his books."

    I like to go out dancing
    My baby loves a bunch of authors
    My heart's so broke and bleeding
    Baby's just sitting there doing some reading

    So I started watching some TV
    Played my new CD player too
    She said: "Turn it off or I'll call the cops
    And I'll throw the book at you."
    All this arguing made me get dizzy
    Called my doctor to come have a look
    I said: "Doctor hurry!" He said: "Don't worry
    I'll be over when I'm finished my book!"

    I like to go out dancing
    My baby loves a bunch of authors
    We've been living in hovels
    Spending all our money on brand new novels

    So I got myself on the streetcar
    And it drove right into someone
    The driver said: "I was looking straight ahead!"
    But he was reading the Toronto Sun.
    So my honey and me go to a counsellor
    To help figure out what we need
    She said: "We'll get your love growing, but before we get going
    Here's some books I'd like you to read."

    I like to go out dancing
    My baby loves a bunch of authors
    Lately we've had some friction
    Cause my baby's hooked on short works of fiction

    So we split and went to a party
    Some friends my girl said she knew
    But what a sight cuz it's authors night
    And the place looks like a Who's Who.
    Now I'm pounding the ouzo - with Mario Puzo
    Who's the funny fella? - W.P. Kinsella
    Who brought the cat? - would Margaret Atwood?
    Who needs a shave? - He's Robertson Davies!
    Ondaatje started a food fight
    Salmon mousse all over the scene
    Spilt some dressing on Doris Lessing
    These writer types are a scream!

    I like to go out dancing
    My baby loves a bunch of authors
    We'll be together for ages
    Eating and sleeping and turning pages

    Longue journee
    Quis s'acheve dans une chambre foncee
    J'entends au loin les sirenes
    Qui comme une vague me tirent, m'amenent
    Chez Morphee
    Emerville

    Ce doux piege
    Ou les gammes en delire s'arpegent
    M'emportent si loin des villes
    et je fuis, je fuis les escadrilles du privelage
    Beau sortilege

    On solde les vieuz pays au marche de gorilles
    Cache dans les bras de Morphee je regne,
    Nemo en exil

    Sur mes reves fragiles

    Des yeux qui font baisser les miens
    Un rire qui se perd sur sa bouche
    Voilà le portrait sans retouches
    De l'homme auquel j'appartiens
    Quand il me prend dans ses bras
    Il me parle tout bas
    Je vois la vie en rose
    Il me dit des mots d'amour
    Des mots de tous les jours
    Et ça m'fait quelque chose
    Il est entré dans mon coeur
    Une part de bonheur
    Dont je connais la cause
    C'est lui pour moi, moi pour lui, dans la vie
    Il me l'a dit, l'a juré, pour la vie
    Et dès que je l'aperçois
    Alors je sens dans moi,
    Mon coeur qui bat

    Des nuits d'amour à plus finir
    Un grand bonheur qui prend sa place
    Les ennuis, les chagrins s'effacent
    Heureux, heureux à en mourir

    Quand il me prend dans ses bras
    Il me parle tout bas
    Je vois la vie en rose
    Il me dit des mots d'amour
    Des mots de tous les jours
    Et ça m'fait quelque chose
    Il est entré dans mon coeur
    Une part de bonheur
    Dont je connais la cause
    C'est toi pour moi, moi pour toi, dans la vie
    Tu me l'as dit, l'as juré, pour la vie
    Et dès que je t'aperçois
    Alors je sens dans moi
    Mon coeur qui bat

    Edith Piaf RULEZ!


By Rhiannon on Thursday, February 3, 2000 - 06:59 pm:

    Awwwwww, yeaaahh!


By Gee on Friday, February 4, 2000 - 03:45 am:

    alright that's it. You americans take your kooky musical tastes and stop distracting the world from our good old Canadian sounds!! Unless Edith Piaf is Canadian, in which case, nevermind.


By agatha on Friday, February 4, 2000 - 12:20 pm:

    she's french. fuck her.


By Margret on Friday, February 4, 2000 - 02:51 pm:

    Well, fuck the french, certainement.
    That doesn't mean we can't rape and pillage their cultural treasures, does it? I mean, that's the insult to injury part.
    Jeez.


By Nate on Friday, February 4, 2000 - 03:11 pm:

    who'd want their cultural treasures? ach! fuck the french!


By R.C. on Friday, February 4, 2000 - 06:07 pm:

    Oooh. Jina or Rhi; Can you post the Lyrics to "Ne Me Quittez Pas"? I tried to get them from the Intl. Lyrics Server/but they went thru some legal hassle a while back & had to change their formet. Now/the damn lyrics scroll by. You can't scroll back or forward. And you can't copy & paste them.
    Fuckin' RIAA/ASCAP/bastard laywers!

    NE ME QUITTE PAS
    (Jacques Brel)
    Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas
    Il faut oublier Je t'inventerai Je ne vais plus pleurer
    Tout peut s'oublier Des mots insensés Je ne vais plus parler
    Qui s'enfuit déjà Que tu comprendras Je me cacherai là
    Oublier le temps Je te parlerai A te regarder
    Des malentendus De ces amants-là Danser et sourire
    Et le temps perdu Qui ont vu deux fois Et à t'écouter
    A savoir comment Leur coeur s'embraser Chanter et puis rire
    Oublier ces heure Je te racontrai Laisse-moi devenir
    Qui tuaient parfois L'histoire de ce roi L'ombre de ton ombre
    A coup de pourquoi Mort de n'avoir pas L'ombre de ta main
    Le coeur du bonheur Pu te rencontrer L'ombre de ton chien
    Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas
    Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas
    Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas
    Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas

    Moi je t'offrirai On a vu souvent
    Des perles de pluie Rejaillir le feu
    Venues de pays De l'ancien volcan
    Où il ne pleut pas Qu'on croyait trop vieux
    Je creuserai la terre Il est paraît-il
    Jusqu'après ma mort Des terres brûlées
    Pour couvrir ton corps Donnant plus de blé
    D'or et de lumière Qu'un meilleur avril
    Je ferai un domaine Et quand vient le soir
    Où l'amour sera roi Pour qu'un ciel flamboie
    Où l'amour sera foi Le rouge et le noir
    Et où tu sera reine Ne s'épousent-ils pas


    Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas
    Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas
    Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas
    Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas

    what'd I say? What did I say??

    freakin americans.


By Dougie on Saturday, February 5, 2000 - 09:46 am:

    Just filling a request, it was cut and paste all the way, my fingers did not type one word of the dreaded french.


By semillama on Saturday, February 5, 2000 - 04:50 pm:

    "Freakin Americans" would be a good name for a band.


By Jina on Sunday, February 6, 2000 - 04:12 pm:

    Actually the song I posted was from the same band Gee posted of. I just wanted to be hip with the french language, like I knew what I was talking about. And I do, after a little research. Pero sabo un poquito espanol, And the song Gee posted REALLY sucks. ;)


By Gee on Monday, February 7, 2000 - 03:27 am:

    HEY MAN. That song does not suck! It's fun and peppy and cute!

    I knew your song was MF because it's on the same album as the song I posted which does NOT suck!


By Patrick on Monday, February 7, 2000 - 01:50 pm:

    sem all the good band names were taken many years ago.

    i did see judah bauer this weekend, he has a new band called 20 miles (dumb name). Pretty good blues shit....god some good polaroids


By Rhiannon on Monday, February 7, 2000 - 05:28 pm:

By Patrick on Monday, February 7, 2000 - 05:50 pm:

    well i don't have the means to scan them, maybe i'll send ya one.

    email me yer address....


By Gee on Tuesday, February 8, 2000 - 02:28 am:

    does anyone know a song called "Gloomy Sunday"? It's on a Sarah McLachlan CD I got today and she didn't write it so I thought it might be a cover. It's really really good. I would like to know who started it.


By J on Thursday, February 10, 2000 - 12:48 pm:


By J on Thursday, February 10, 2000 - 02:04 pm:

    I hate that when that happens,just tried another link that didn,t work.Many people committed suicide leaving behind the lyrics to the song as a suicide note.Billy Holiday sang it,so did Elvis Costello,and Bjork to name a few.Rezo Seress committed suicide too.Next time I see your e-mail address I,ll forward the sites to you Gee.


By Gee on Friday, February 11, 2000 - 01:08 am:

    here's my address, J.
