"I bet there are bars at Tijuana that want to hire her for the floor show."




"New Year's Day" -- Charlie Robison

I woke up early Sunday mornin'
Had myself a piece of toast
Had 50 dollars in my pocket
Gonna chase myself a ghost

Went down Camino Espinoza
Gonna get me a divorce
Gonna split with all my money
See that girl who loves a horse

It's New Year's Day here on the border
And it's always been this way
I never do the things I oughta
Think I'll stay its New Year's Day...

Here's one of my favorite songs, I've got the MP3 too...

QUAALUDES AGAIN
(Written by Shel Silverstein)
Shel Silverstein & Bobby Dare


She falls through the doorway,
Rolls down the hall.
She bounces off the sofa,
And walks into the wall.
It's easy to see that she buckles and bends.
She's doin' quaaludes again.

Quaaludes again.
Quaaludes again.
If you've got aurora,
You know for shorra
She's your friend.

She's doin' quaaludes again.

(guitar music)

She fumbles and stumbles
And falls down the stairs,
Makes love to the leg of the diningroom chair.
She's ready for animals, women or men.

She's doin' quaaludes again.

Quaaludes again.
Again.
Again.
Quaaludes again.

If you've got a lemon, a dog and three women,
Then she's your friend.

She's doing quaaludes again.
Quaaludes again.

(Dialogue between man and woman with riff in the background:)

He: Baby, you've been doing quaaludes again. Well, then who?
She: No. Not me. I don't have any quaaludes.
He: You don't have 'em cuz you took em all already.
She: No.
He: You had six.
She: Nooo...
He: You had six yesterday, right? In your purse?
She: No...
He: How many you got now? Where'd they go?
She: No. I don't have ANY.
He: That's what I mean.
She: No...
He: Where'd they go? What'd you take?
She: I didn't take anything. I just had a small... a small headache.
He: So what did you take? What did you take for a headache?
She: No... Maybe an aspirin.
He: That's the biggest damned aspirin I've ever seen! You did... You
keep... Don't keep pullin at me! Don't do that! Don't do that!
C'mon... you're bumpin' into the furniture.
She: It hurts!
He: What?! I didn't mooove ANYTHING around!
She: (moaning)
He: You had FIVE quaaludes in your purse yesterday. You have none
today!
She: I gave them away.
He: You gave away what? You gave EVERYTHING away!
She: I gave it to all my friends.
He: Yeah. How much time did you see your friends?
She: Wellll...
He: You were supposed to see them for five minutes?
She: Well... Don't you know how it is?
He: I DON'T know how it is.
She: Nooo...
He: I know you're doin 'ludes, and you said... you said that the
next time you get them I should take them away and flush them down
the toilet.
She: Noooo...
He: Didn't you say that?
She: NO....noooooo...
He: DON'T keep pullin' me to the damn bed! I don't want an old...
I'm tellin you... You are turnin' me OFF!
(fading away)
He: Now let me tell you... Will you keep your eyes open! Get up!
