In Love with an Idea I thought I heard the angels sigh When I walk their lovin’ streets at night Stars be true and streetlights lie Help me continue to deny Leila works until nine o’clock I have desert, then we sit and talk I tip the best of anyone I tell her of my secret love I’m in love with an idea, I’m in love, I have no fear, She is above, she is not near, I’m in love with an idea She says that love is not a game show You don’t win nothin’ for the things you know And the angels fear to tread Around your dream lover’s bed.

A Thousand Words – Kurt Bel-Air A thousand words, a thousand dollars, it ain’t worth it You in a picture, in a locket, like you been framed, Like you been collared, put on a leash, like you been tamed. A thousand words, a thousand dollars, it ain’t for me, You in a picture, in a wallet, already saw it, I don’t want you, in a portrait, I want you free. All you ladies, what you think of love? You wanna put it in a little tea cup Why you want cute when you can have handsome? I see a photo, I see a ransom. A bunch of words, another phone call, a royal highness, A declaration, a delegation, signaled with a bell Not every question, needs an answer, not every partner, gets a dancer. Too many words, too many pictures, too much to choose from, Too much filler, too many itches, not enough fingers, I wanna body, I wanna breather, I wanna invite, I wanna teaser.

about

Stars be true and streetlights lie.
Help me continue to deny.

Why you want cute when you can have handsome?
I see a photo, I see a ransom.

Yeah, I know better, I can read between the letters.
I'd be your disciple, an apostle with a rifle, and a fine typesetter.

When the quake, it hit the town, amid the pitch and rumble,
From my room a-shake I saw Sam and Cindy tumble.


These songs are dedicated to Lily,
over there in Cork, Ireland.
