happy 50th birthday to blue by Joni Mitchell 💙 here are a few of my favorite lyrics from the album:
1. “I hate you some, I love you some, oh I love you when I forget about me” - All I Want
2. “I want to wreck my stockings in some jukebox dive. Do you want to dance with me baby?” - All I Want
3. “We’ll laugh and toast to nothing and smash our empty glasses down. A round for these freaks and these soldiers. A round for these friends of mine. Let’s have another round for the bright red devil who keeps me in this tourist town.” - Carey
4. “Acid booze and ass, needles guns and grass, lots of laughs” - Blue
5. “Reading the news and it sure looks bad” - California
6. “I’m drinking sweet champagne, got the headphones up high, can’t numb you out, can’t drum you out of my mind” - this flight tonight
7. “I’m gonna make a lot of money then I’m gonna quit this crazy scene” - River
8. “He loved me so naughty made me weak in the knees” - River
9. “Just before our love got lost you said, ‘I am as constant as a Northern Star.’ And I said ‘constantly in the darkness, where’s that at? If you want me I’ll be at the bar.’” - A Case of You
10. “You taste so bitter and so sweet oh I could drink a case of you and still be on my feet.” - A Case of You
11. “Part of you pours out of me in these lines from time to time.” - A Case of Yoy
12. “All romantics meet the same fate someday cynical and drunk and boring someone in some dark cafe” - The Last Time I Saw Richard
13. “You haven’t really changed I said it’s just that now you’re romanticizing some pain in your head” - The Last Time I Saw Richard
14. “Only a phase these dark cafe days” - The Last Time I Saw Richard
(Tbh all of the last time I saw Richard that song is so incredible)
