There is a song on the new Cake CD that is brilliant.
At first, you think it's told from the perspective of an old man, reflecting on he and his wife's life and how they're just not as close/happy anymore:
It's been a long time Since I've seen your smiling face It's been a long time Since I've seen a sunny day
It's been a long time Since you wore your pillbox hat It's been a long time Since we drove your Pontiac
It's been a long time Since you gave me butterflies It's been a long time Since I've seen it burning in your eyes But I don't mind (I don't mind) No I don't (I don't mind) No I don't (I don't mind) When I've got you next to me
Then comes the little surprise about what the song REALLY means....
It's been a long time Since we tripped into this ditch It's been a long time Since we drank the arsenic
It's been a long time Since we've been inside of this tomb It's been a long time Since you wore your expensive French perfume But I don't mind (I don't mind) No I don't (I don't mind) No I don't (I don't mind) When I've got you next to me
It's been a long time Since I've seen your smiling face It's been a long time Since I've seen a su-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-unny day

night time slows, raindrops splash rainbows perhaps someone you know, could sparkle and shine as daydreams slide to colour from shadow picture the moonglow, that dazzles my eyes and i love you just lying smiling in the dark shooting stars around your heart dreams come bouncing in your head pure and simple everytime now you're crying in your sleep i wish you'd never learnt to weep don't sell the dreams you should be keeping pure and simple every time dreams of sights, of sleigh rides in seasons where feelings not reasons, can make you decide as leaves pour down, splash autumn on gardens as colder nights harden, their moonlit delights and i love you just lying smiling in the dark shooting stars around your heart dreams come bouncing in your head pure and simple every time now you're crying in your sleep i wish you'd never learned to weep don't sell the dreams you should be keeping pure and simple every time look at me with starry eyes push me up to starry skies there's stardust in my head pure and simple every time fresh and deep as oceans new shiver at the sight of you i'll sing a softer tune pure and simple over you if love's the truth then look no lies and let me swim around your eyes I've found a place I'll never leave shut my mouth and just believe love is the truth I realize not a stream of pretty lies to use us up and waste our time lying smiling in the dark shooting stars around your heart dreams come bouncing in your head pure and simple every time now you're crying in your sleep i wish you'd never learned to weep don't sell the dreams you should be keeping pure and simple every time look at me with starry eyes push me up to starry skies there's stardust in my head pure and simple every time fresh and deep as oceans new shiver at the sight of you I'll sing a softer tune pure and simple over you pure and simple just for you

Estas son las mañanitas que cantaba el Rey David Hoy por ser día de tu santo te las cantamos a ti despierta, mi bien despierta mira que ya amaneció Ya los pajarillos cantan la luna ya se metió Que linda está la mañana en que vengo a saludarte Venimos todos con gusto y placer a felicitarte El día en que tu naciste nacieron todas las flores En la pila del bautismo cantaron los ruiseñores Ya viene amaneciendo ya la luz del día nos dio Levántate de mañana mira que ya amaneció

It's a sad fact That the old map Can never tell you where to go I'm an old soul In a young shell I broke down at the crossroads Have you ever wandered alone? For so very long that alone becomes your home? It's a beautiful place, but a matter of taste Yeah loneliness is subtle and strong It's a sad fact That the old map Can never show you where to go I'm an old soul In a young shell I broke down at the crossroads

Do you believe In what you see Motionless wheel Nothing is real Wasting my time In the waiting line Do you believe In what you see Ah and I'll shout and I'll scream But I'd rather not be seen And I'll hide away for another day Do you believe In what you see Motionless wheel Nothing is real Wasting my time In the waiting line Do you believe In what you see

I've got a Gibson without a case but i can't get that even tan look on my face.
