A Bit harsh mate, maybe he's so devastated he cant function she she left
Never been able to make out any of those lyrics though having been listening to the record for over 30 years
Nice one

I've always wanted to believe that those words were written 'tongue in cheek' to demonstrate how much some men take their woman for granted. Those days are over now of course
Either way, it's pure poetry. I'm pleased that you've now learned what the lyrics actually are.

"I came across your maiden name...and I shook" Ouch!

[Soul16]

More of my favourite Northern Soul lyrics, this time the guy is trying to persuade his girl not to leave him by suggesting she may face financial problems...

Now girl, stop one morning
Before you go now girl
What you gonna do when your lights go out?
And your groceries run low
And then a big man comes knockin' on your door...

[miss nancy]

Love starved heart – Marvin

Honey honey now my love starving heart is killing me
Darling since I lost you

Anderson Bros

I can see him making love to you baby
And the thought of his body next to yours makes me crazy

Prince

Oh yeah
In France a skinny man
Died of a big disease with a little name
By chance his girlfriend came across a needle
And soon she did the same
At home there are seventeen-year-old boys
And their idea of fun
Is being in a gang called The Disciples
High on crack, totin' a machine gun

Hurricane Annie ripped the ceiling of a church
And killed everyone inside
U turn on the telly and every other story
Is tellin' U somebody died
Sister killed her baby cuz she could afford 2 feed it
And we're sending people 2 the moon
In September my cousin tried reefer 4 the very first time
Now he's doing horse, it's June

One of the best opening lines of a song

You could offer me your love on a silver platter
But I wont take it.


And I know quite a few on here dont like Mr Hudson but I love

The way you hold your head to understand what I said
Ooh this gets to me.

great topic that come around often...

Gil Scott Heron lyrics and song but also sung by Esther Phillips.. Love both versions... The line " home is where the needle marks, try to heal my broken heart", the day i heard these lyrics for the first time have stuck with me always, it just ripped my guts out... Full lyrics below from a true poet, enjoy...

Home Is Where The Hatred Is....

A junkie walking through the twilight
I'm on my way home
I left three days ago, but noone seems to know i'm gone
Home is where the hatred is
Home is filled with pain and it,
might not be such a bad idea if i never, never went home again

stand as far away from me as you can and ask me why
hang on to your rosary beads
close your eyes to watch me die
you keep saying, kick it, quit it, kick it, quit it
God, but did you ever try
to turn your sick soul inside out
so that the world, so that the world
can watch you die

home is where i live inside my white powder dreams
home was once an empty vacuum that's filled now with my silent screams
home is where the needle marks
try to heal my broken heart
and it might not be such a bad idea if i never, if i never went home again

I have to say when I listen to this It's hard not to cry, especially thinking about how 14 years after it's release she died because of her drug use at only 48 years old & after around 30 years of chronic addiction. These are soulful lyrics of the rawest kind - this song could have been the story of Esther's shit life :-(

I'm your pimp. I wear my hat to the side, & I walk with a limp.

I think really good songwriting also goes beyond just being a love song to telling a specific story / specific situation. For example, people in Chicago such as Eddie Sullivan who helped write tracks like "how can I tell my mom and dad".

That is a beautiful record, only heard it last year for the first time, very touching.

Whitney Houston tragically dying at 48 (also possibly drug related) is reminiscent of Esther Phillips who died at same age because of drugs - history repeats itself :-(
