I don't want to wonder if this a blunder
I don't want to worry whether we're going to stay together till we die
I don't want to jump in unless this music's thumpin
All the dishes rattle in the cupboards when the elephants arrive

I want to love you madly
I want to love you now
(I want to love you)
I want to love you madly
(wait)
I want to love you love you love you madly

I don't want to fake it,
I just want to make it
The ornaments look pretty but they're pulling down the branches of the tree
I don't want to think about it,
I don't want to talk about it
When I kiss your lips I want to sink down to the bottom of the sea

I want to love you madly
I want to love you now
(yeah)
I want to love you madly
(wait)
I want to love you, love you, love you madly

I don't want to hold back,
I don't want to slip down
I don't want to think back to the one thing that I know I should have done
I don't want to doubt you,
know everything about you
I don't want to sit across the table from you wishing I could run

I want to love you madly
I want to love you now
I want to love you madly
(oh wait)
I want to love you, love you, love you madly

Would love to know what George did with that info. 


Wow what a writing prompt!

Where did the story go next? What fictional story does this kick off?

RP inspires in more than just music!

The two of them had allot of self control, but things finally progressed and the relationship took a rather "adult" leap. In the afterglow, George looked tenderly into my (now defiled) daughter's eyes and said, "I love you". Sis, who was little taken back by this new development, hesitated a moment to gather her thoughts, finally responded, "I...... I...... um..... I love cake?" True story.

Would love to know what George did with that info.

8→9 CAKE kicks ass!  And I'm extra happy BillG likes his local music scene enough to make CAKE one of his heaviest 'non-new' plays - much to the chagrin of a lot of my fellow listeners....although this one is in the 7ish range which ain't too bad, eh?  Long Live RP!!

I LOVE the Cake songs like this one, where the guitar hook is so horrendously BAD, that I can recognize it and change the radio station before the alleged, " Lead singer," begins his inane mono-tone yelping.

Something about a well-honed edge comes to mind here, and I know there's more that just won't, right now. Ha! Well...that's another story.

My trouble with this album (and I hope it's a temporary condition) is that I am spoiled by their first effort, Fashion Nugget. I'm always in the mood for anything I hear from that album! 

Just in case you read this, Bill...

HA!

When you get it made, let me know.  I'll take that trip with you, buy about $100 worth of real music and give it to myself.  I could have done with about a decade less hair metal. 

Of course, so could the rest of the world.

I didn't but was hoping Bill would make the connection and make for another of his "signature" segues.

Alas, it is not to be, at least not today.

Spoon, followed by Cake? What's next? The Dead Milkmen?
