utopia - “the wolf-man jack show” [1972] i was standing in the shadow of your smile yesterday and i felt so doggone safe for a while yesterday i was ready to leave my snail shell made of fear but you just turned your back at me and left me sitting here on my gear

don't you know that i was paying long long years a lot of dues? and don't you know that i was waiting all these years just for you? i keep trying to unfold myself, but you just take a bet that the gunman at the station's saying, "man you can't do that yet"

sharon jones & the dap kings - “100 days, 100 nights” [2007]

[refrain] 100 days, 100 nights, to know a man's heart 100 days, 100 nights, to know a man's heart and a little more, before, he knows his own

[refrain]

wait a minute maybe I need to slow it down just a little; take my time

finally feeling vindicated
