Roo's First SK Winter

"Guess I will grow myself some boots!!?!!??" says, The Roo

It's been 20 years since I've lived a winter in Saskatchewan.  

It's not so bad really.  Kinda good really.

But The Roo and I still have a longing for the West Coast in the winter.  

That will always be.

Dead Letter and Infinite Yes

I found a letter it read 
"Our existence has serious side effects" 
Turned on, turned on the television 
It's telling me the world is collapsing 
I think it's coming and it comes so fast 
I'm hearing whispers of an infinite yes 
And I don't know why it is 
Our bodies are dead, why you look so sad? 

And my therapist said 
"We've evolved through a series of accidents" 
There's been talk of chemical imbalances 
Restless sense of detachment, nausea and or violence 

I think it's coming and it comes so fast 
I'm hearing whispers of an infinite yes 
And I don't know why it is 
I feel it coming, I think it's real and significant 
I think I think I think a little too often 
That's what my therapist said 
We're alone in this wilderness 
Left to choke on the pills and to feed on the viruses 
I think it's coming and it comes so fast 

I think it's coming and it comes so fast 
I'm hearing whispers of an infinite yes 
Our bodies are dead, why you look so sad 
Our bodies are dead, why you look so sad

To This Day.....What is really happening?

"Paradise In Me"

Consuming far too much
Ignoring the will to touch
The ones who don't have food at all...

I'm breathing
I'm wondering how
We watch Wheel of Fortune now
I close my eyes and try to see
A piece of paradise in me

Beat me up
And smash my brand new TV
To help me look for
A little piece of paradise in me

I'm dancing, I'm writing songs
About what bothers me the most
About those who can't dance at all...

I'm only jumping
I'm only freaking out
And I wonder what it's all about
To close my eyes and finally see
A piece of paradise in me

Beat me up
And smash my brand new TV
To help me look for
A little piece of paradise in me
A little piece of paradise in me

So Sometimes Hate the NIght

"Here Comes The Night"

Oooh, here it comes
Here comes the night
Here comes the night
Whoa, whoa, whoa, oh-yeah

I can see right out my window
Walkin' down the street my girl with another guy
Arms around her like it used to be with me
Oh, it makes me wanna die

Hey, well here it comes
Here comes the night
Here comes the night
Whoa-oh-oh-yeah

I can see him turning down the lights
Now he's holdin' her the way I used to do
Used to do, used to do

I can see her talkin' 'round an' tellin' them lies
Exactly like she told me, too
Whoa, here it comes
Here comes the night
Here comes the night
Whoa-oh-oh-yeah
Well

[Instrumental]

Oh, there they go
It's funny how they look so good together
Wonder what is wrong with me?
Why can't I except the fact
She's chosen him and simply let them be?
Let them be

Well, here it comes
Good God, here comes the night
Here comes the night
Lonely, lonely, lonely, night

Give it to me lonely
Give it to me lonely

Give it to me lonely
Give it to me lonely

Tellin' me I'm lonely
Tellin' me the lone
The lonely, lonely night

Give it to me lonely
Give it to me lone
Give it to me lone
Give it to me lonely

I will be alone
Give it to me lone
Tell in me the lonely nights

Here comes the night
Oh-whoa-whoa-oh, yeah-yeah

Kinda Always Knew.......

Funny story... ain't the first time I have sang this song...

Knew it with Cory

Didn't know it with Bobby (sort of)

Wish I did.

I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend
I hope I hold a special place with the rest of them
And you know it makes me sick to be on that list
But I should have thought of that before we kissed

You say you're gonna burn before you mellow
I will be the one to burn you
Why'd you have to go and pick me?
When you knew that we were different, completely

I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend
I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend
I hope I hold a special place with the rest of them
I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend 

I'm another ex-girlfriend on your list
But I should have thought of that before we kissed

Your wildness scares me 
So does your freedom
You say you can't stand the restrictions
I find myself trying to change you
If you were meant to be my lover I wouldn't have to

And I feel so mean, I feel in between
'Cause I'm about to give you away

I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend (for someone else to take)
I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend (am I making a mistake?)
I hope I hold a special place with the rest of them (all the time that we wasted)
I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girl, friend

I'm another ex-girlfriend on your list
But I should have thought of that before we kissed
I'm another ex-girlfriend on your list
But I should have thought of that before we kissed 

I'm about to give you away for someone else to take
I'm about to give you away for someone else to take

We keep repeating mistakes for souvenirs
And we've been in between the days for years
And I know that when I see you I'm going to die
I know I'm going to want you and you know why
It's going to kill me to see you with the next girl
'Cause I'm the most gorgeously jealous kind of ex-girl

But I should have thought of that before we kissed...

I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend 
I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend
I hope I hold a special place with the rest of them 
I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend

I'm another ex-girlfriend on your list
But I should have thought of that before we kissed
I'm another ex-girlfriend on your list
But I should have thought of that before we kissed

Will I ever stop singing this motherfucking song???!

One Thing...

Restless tonight

'Cause I wasted the light

Between both these times

I drew a really thin line

Its nothing I planned

And not that I can

But you should be mine

Across that line

If I traded it all, if I gave it all away

For one thing, just for one thing

If I sorted it out, if I knew all about

This one thing wouldnt that be something

I promise I might

Not walk on by

Maybe next time

But not this time

Even though I know

I dont want to know

Yeah, I guess I know

I just hate how it sounds

If I traded it all, if I gave it all away

For one thing, just for one thing

If I sorted it out, if I knew all about

This one thing wouldnt that be something

If I traded it all, if I gave it all away

For one thing, just for one thing

If I sorted it out, if I knew all about

This one thing wouldnt that be something

Even though I know

I dont want to know

Yeah, I guess I know

I just hate how it sounds

Even though I know

I dont want to know

Yeah, I guess I know

I just hate how it sounds

If I traded it all, if I gave it all away

For one thing, just for one thing

If I sorted it out, if I knew all about

This one thing wouldnt that be something

If I traded it all, if I gave it all away

For one thing, just for one thing

If I sorted it out, if I knew all about

This one thing wouldnt that be something

If I traded it all, if I gave it all away

For one thing, just for one thing

If I sorted it out, if I knew all about

This one thing wouldnt that be something

If I traded it all, if I gave it all away

For one thing, just for one thing

If I sorted it out, if I knew all about

This one thing wouldnt that be something
