Too lonely of a feeling Them closing time blues When you wander home alone Even if the music rocks For the solitary walk back To four walls of lonely times Oh those closing time blues Let that last drink rock ‘n roll For all the single women have left And the bartender does not have a bust Make it a double for the misery home Damn the closing time blues My old lady kicked me out of the mansion And brought in her young stud Saying she needed more excitement I said I could get Viagra But she says she needs a stronger engine To shift her gears Oh those closing time blues Making me cry into my drinks Watering them down from forgetting That she drives him around in my muscle car She renamed it her love machine Gear shifting him around town Showing off her prized possession Which bankrupted my bank account Damn the closing time blues Oh hell give me another double for last call For it is a long bitter staggering walk To my one room efficiency Oh those closing time blues Those closing time blues Closing time blues Freezing cold blues D.Lester Young Somewhere in America not on company time 08/21/04 The Crossfire Poet |

They made films of this stuff in the past Now we don’t dare talk of hypocrites, religion or politics unless we are allowed to and through the proper channels. I still watch Blazing Saddles, partly because this lot would never allow it. To me it discriminated against everyone without favour. Basically because we are all a bunch of hypocrites in minor to major degrees and the bigger the hypocrite the more you hear the voices, in case someone looks at them to tell you the world is better for the voices from above, but that is Politics and an honest man who is not feeding the money, doesn't get appointed.

Brought me to it... and yes, it seems a lonely place. You gave it voice though, and my reason may be different, but I too hate the lonely walk back home. Well said... Always, Alyssa He was a man of sorrows |

Dave, stick around...it won't be long before you meet her in the same bar because her young stud left her for a younger woman, the mansion is too big when empty, and the love machine blew the engine  |
