Sick Day...Again

Oy. I´m stuck in the house, again, sick to my stomach. I should be out and about, looking for primary sources for my final research paper, but I just can´t leave a bathroom for that long :( Over-share, I´m sure.

I´m in an Elton John mood today. He´s mellow (¨Sacrifice¨), he´s in your face (¨The Bitch is Back¨), he´s mushy (¨The One¨)...he covers about every emotion. One of my favorite songs came up randomly on my iTunes today, and it just felt like the SotD. (See 1st song) The lyrics are perfect.

The 2nd song is one I didn´t listen to on the Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album until last year. I wish I had known it sooner because I love it! Listen to both and read the words! I´m gonna go drink a Nalgene-full of Gaterade and eat some All-Bran. Bleh.

I Guess That´s Why They Call It the Blues

Don't wish it away
Don't look at it like it's forever
Between you and me I could honestly say
That things can only get better

And while I'm away
Dust out the demons inside
And it won't be long before you and me run
To the place in our hearts where we hide

And I guess that's why they call it the blues
Time on my hands could be time spent with you
Laughing like children, living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that's why they call it the blues

Just stare into space
Picture my face in your hands
Live for each second without hesitation
And never forget I'm your man

Wait on me girl
Cry in the night if it helps
But more than ever I simply love you
More than I love life itself



Harmony

Hello, baby hello
Haven't seen your face for a while
Have you quit doing time for me?
Or are you still the same spoiled child?

Hello, I said hello
Is this the only place you thought to go?
Am I the only man you ever had?
Or am I just the last surviving friend that you know?

Harmony and me
We're pretty good company
Looking for an island
In our boat upon the sea
Harmony, gee I really love you
And I want to love you forever
I dream of never, never, never leaving harmony

Hello, baby hello
Open up your heart and let your feelings flow
You're not unlucky knowing me
Keeping the speed real slow
In any case I set my own pace
By stealing the show, say hello, hello
