A long long while ago down in Champaign... I used to own a few Big Head Todd CDs. One, because I dig the music and two, because hello! popular music headed up by Asian man?!? I heard this old song on 101.9 The Mix...
Two interesting coincidences with previous sentence. One- ran into Li-Young Lee ( third poem-The Gift, is my favorite) on Friday while I sat and wrote in Bittersweet (title of Big Head song, too). Two - re-read journals that ran the length of my stay in Champaign. Interesting how things never change but that sometimes they do.
I'd studied in one of my various religion classes (read: I ferget which pacific religon) that our lives are cyclical. We re-live a pattern in our lives until we learn from it. Only then can we move onto the next lesson/pattern/life. I'm not sure if I mentioned before that I tend to be a slow learner IF it entirely new to me. If I am able to make reference to something else, then that's how I learn faster. I'd found a pattern where I'd refuse to compare one boyfriend to another. A brand new slate. I'd shake the Etch-a-Sketch and start a new relationship BUT without really examining what went wrong with the previous relationship. By giving this NEW guy a fresh chance, I cheated myself of really seeing the pattern. yeah, you'd think I'd learn by now...
Big Head Todd and the Monsters - Please Don't Tell Her
I always leave her waiting
I always leave her down
If she should come my way
I always turn around,
Please don't tell her I love her.
I always keep her out
I never let her in
If she should come my way weeping
I greet her with a gin
Please don't tell her I love her.
If she should discover the colors of my love,
She will fly, fly away
Now you can try tenderness,
You can try to hang around,
Oh, but I'm sure she'll love you less,
I'm sure she'll bring you down.
Please don't tell her I love her
