This one's to my friend Eze whom shared this lovely song with the rest of us last Saturday. Thank you for introducing me to a new song to play in my mental jukebox.

Damien Rice - Cheers Darlin'

Cheers darlin'
Here's to you and your lover boy
Cheers darlin'
I got years to wait around for you
Cheers darlin'
I've got your wedding bells in my ear
Cheers darlin'
You give me three cigarettes to smoke my tears away

And I die when you mention his name
And I lied, I should have kissed you
When we were runnin' in the rain

What am I darlin'?
A whisper in your ear?
A piece of your cake?
What am I, darlin?
The boy you can fear?
Or your biggest mistake?

Cheers darlin'
Here's to you and your lover man
Cheers darlin'
I just hang around and eat from a can
Cheers darlin'
I got a ribbon of green on my guitar
Cheers darlin'
I got a beauty queen
To sit not very far from here

I die when he comes around
To take you home
I'm too shy
I should have kissed you when we were alone

What am I darlin'?
A whisper in your ear?
A piece of your cake?
What am I, darlin?
The boy you can fear?
Or your biggest mistake?

Oh what am I? What am I darlin'?
I got years to wait...

And here's a staple of my mental jukebox so he can add it to his collection.

"I Was Wrong" - Vision Thing - Sisters Of Mercy

You say stay and never leave
you say meant for ever
I could believe you, but I don't
you say we're almost all alone together
all alone
you say
you say you will
I know you won't

I was wrong
I was wrong to ever doubt
I can get along without
I can love my fellow man
but I'm damned if I'll love yours

In a bar that's always closing
in a world where people shout
I don't wanna talk this over
I don't wanna talk it out
I was quite impressed until I hit the floor
isn't that what friends are for?
pain looks great on other people
that's what they're for

I was wrong
I was wrong to ever doubt
I can get along without
I can love my fellow man
but I'm damned if I'll love yours

On this one, I guess you could change the name in the lyrics and those close to me would know who am I talking about.

Rolling Stones - Angie

Angie, Angie, when will those clouds all disappear?
Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here?
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied
But Angie, Angie, you can't say we never tried
Angie, you're beautiful, but ain't it time we said good - bye?
Angie, I still love you, remember all those nights we cried?
All the dreams we held so close seemed to all go up in smoke
Let me whisper in your ear:
Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here?
Oh, Angie, don't you weep, all your kisses still taste sweet
I hate that sadness in your eyes
But Angie, Angie, ain't it time we said good - bye?
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied
But Angie, I still love you, baby
Ev'rywhere I look I see your eyes
There ain't a woman that comes close to you
Come on Baby, dry your eyes
But Angie, Angie, ain't it good to be alive?
Angie, Angie, they can't say we never tried

No, I'm not sad nor depressed. I'm a happy camper today. I just understand completely where my man is at this point. The only words I can suggest are the ones his heart refuses to hear, but all in good time my brother, all in good time. I got yer back.
