The Week

Not much going on, just car crap & money crap & work accountability crap. Same crap, different decade.

Got my Wicked Tinkers cd, 'Whisky Supper: Almost Live'. I would love to see these guys live. They get up on tables in bars, they get out in the crowd, they teach their audience how to dance jigs. I could groove w/these musicians big time. I wasn't sure how an entire album of digeridoo, bagpipes & drums would hold up, but I'm damned impressed & I really have to quit listening to musicians like this while I'm in a hot steamin' shower, because one of these days, I will hyperventilate, faint & die because my head will be impaled by the faucet.

Now I'm just waiting for K. T. Tunstall's cd to arrive - it is much anticipated.

Lyric-geek moment:

Black Horse & the Cherry Tree

...two, three, four

(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)

Well my heart knows me better than i know myself
so I'm gonna let it do all the talking.
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)
I came across a place in the middle of nowhere
with a big black horse and a cherry tree.
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)

I felt a little fear, upon my back
I said don't look back, just keep on walking.
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)
when the big black horse looked this way,
said hey there baby, will you marry me?
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)

But I said no, no, no,no-no-no
I said no, no, you're not the one for me
no, no, no,no-no-no
I said no, no, you're not the one for me

(ooooo,woo-hoo)

And my heart had a problem, in the early hours,
so it stopped it dead for a beat or two.
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)
But i cut some cord, and i shouldn't have done that,
and it won't forgive me after all these years
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)

So I sent her to a place in the middle of nowhere
with a big black horse and a cherry tree.
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)
Now it won't come back , cause it's oh so happy
and now I've got a hole for the world to see
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)

But it said no, no, no,no-no-no
It said no, no, you're not the one for me
no, no, no,no-no-no
said no, no, you're not the one for me

(ooooo,woo-hoo) (not the one for me, yeah)
(ooooo,woo-hoo)
Said no,no, no,no, no, no, no
you're not the one for me
said no,no, no,no, no, no, no
you're not the one for me

Big black horse and a cherry tree
I can't quite get there cause they've all forsken me
big black horse and a cherry tree
I can't quite get there cause they've all forsken me

If a big black horse asked you to marry him, would you?

I think I'd be tempted, but I know all about kelpies... and learned today that in the name 'each uisge' is a kelpie, its watery home... and whisky ;)

I'm thinking of getting a drum, and I think I'd love a bodhran
