Cowboy Junkies - Something More Besides You
One foot strands before the crib
The other by the casket
A question formed upon stilled lips
Is passed on but never asked
I guess I believe that there’s a point
To what we do
But I ask myself is there
Something more besides you?
Two are born to cross
Their paths, their lives, their hearts
If by chance one turns away
Are they forever lost?
I guess I believe that there’s a point
To what we do
But I ask myself is there
Something more besides you?
This morning I awoke,
The bed warm where it once was cold
Small blessings laid upon us
Small mysteries slowly unfold
Yet I still wonder is there a point
To what we do?
’cause I kind of doubt
That there is something more besides you
Although it’s hard to find the point
To what we do,
Do I dare believe that there is
Something more besides you?
Lloyd Cole - Man on the Verge
Independent reader I
Looking for a better quality of life
Seeking to depart from lonely hearted page
Sensitive to greying hair
Looking for a w/sense of humour
Do you have a script
Perchance, I could rewrite?
Man on the verge
Of the nerve
For "Hello, I love your shirt"
Could it hurt?
Man on the verge
9/11 subway train
You had yellow hair and mine is grey
You half smiled
Got off at Astor Place
Man on the verge
Of the words
to "Hello, I love your shirt"
Could it hurt?
Man on the verge
Waiting for the kiss of life
seemingly lost without a TV Guide
Boyish 37
Sorely uninspired
Single melancholy male
Owning up to loneliness is no big deal
Everything is gone tomorrow miss you much
Man on the verge
Of the nerve
For "Hello, I love your shirt"
Could it hurt?
Man on the verge
Man on the verge
Mouthing the words
And the air between them
Could it hurt?
Man on the verge
XTC - Earn Enough for Us
I've been praying all the week through
At home, at work and on the bus
I've been praying I can keep you
And to earn enough for us
I can take humiliation
And hurtful comments from the boss
I'm just praying by the weekend
I can earn enough for us
Found a house that won't repair itself
With it's windows cracking
And a roof held together with holes
Just because we're at the bottom of the ladder
We shouldn't be sadder
Than others like us
Who have goals for the betterment of life
Glad that you want to be my wife, but honest
I've been praying all the week through
At home at work and on the bus
I've been praying I can keep you
And to earn enough for us
So you're saying that we're going to be three
Now, a father's what I'll be
Don't get me wrong, I'm so proud
But the belt's already tight
I'll get another job at night, but honest
I can take humiliation
And hurtful comments from the boss
I'm just praying by the weekend
I can earn enough for us
Just because we're at the bottom of the ladder
We shouldn't be sadder
Than others like us
Who have goals for the betterment of life
Glad that you want to be my wife, but honest
I can take humiliation
And hurtful comments from the Boss
I'm just praying by the weekend
I can earn enough for us
I can earn enough for us
Show us the budding music journalist in you.
Hmm…I want to talk about the song “Something more besides you” by Cowboy Junkies. Well, in my opinion this song related to love story. I think a little bit deeper about some of the lines “but I ask myself is there, something more besides you?” I guess this song seems want to tell us about a certain relationship that have a doubt on it. She cannot make a decision freely, because there is something in her mind, and she cannot explain what it is. Also, I am sure that she want to know what on his ( boyfriend) mind about their relationship, because she felt that this relationship is not really work recently, it is mentioned on the lyrics “Yet I still wonder is there a point, to what we do?”. It is so sad, if this kind of things happen in a reality life. I mean, this is so hard to make a decision or committed with your opposite gender, if you and your boy/girlfriend also has a doubt on the relationship itself.
