I’m a masochist

Horns Below Her Halo [youtube] - хорошее название. и текст соответствует:
She is a devil in a dress
A wolf in sheep clothes, she got horns below her halo

She parades like a saint on Sunday morning
But even the devil dwelled in heaven once
She masquerades to keep the people from knowing
She's as evil, as evil does

есть еще Devil in a Dress:
I would give my life for one more kiss
I’m a man in pain, I’m a masochist

Whiskey Drinkin' Woman

She puts whiskey in her cornflakes
She puts whiskey in her beer
She can't stand strong perfume
So she puts whiskey behind her ear
Yeah, she's a whiskey drinkin' woman
Drinks whiskey all the time

just wanna make love to you

    I don't want you, be no slave
  I don't want you, work all day
        I don't want you to be true
    I just wanna make love to you
I just wanna make love to you [youtube]

lyrics

очень трогательно отличный пример того, что называется cultural differences: эту песню передают по каналу BB King Bluesville на Sirius XM, как говорится, without much ado. однако абсолютно невозможно представить, чтобы ее передали по русскому радио. "сегодня Нинка соглашается" - это самый крайний край, и ее далеко не всякая станция передаст.

One day you feel satisfied, the next day you're not sure

my squeezes don't please him


Mama He Treats Your Daughter Mean
Mama this man is lazy
Almost drives me crazy
Mama he makes me squeeze him
Still my squeezes don't please him
Ruth Alston Brown (1928 - 2006)

fattening frogs for snakes

It took me a long time, to find out my mistakes
Took me a long time, to find out my mistakes
(It sho' did man)
But I bet you my bottom dollar, I'm not fattenin' no more frogs for snakes.

- Sonny Boy Williamson Fattening frogs for snakes [youtube]
What it really means is: Example: A pretty girl in a bar(frog) who has a boyfriend at home (snake) and there's a guy at the bar buying her drink after drink (fattening) in hopes of taking her home with him, but when the bar closes she goes home to her man. Hence: Fattening the frog for the snake.

This quote crossed my mind today because as women, we can can put so much time, care and concern into a man to build his ego and status. Sometimes all that effort is later afforded to another woman leaving youlike a baker without a taste.

Food For Thot



хорошее название

картинка тоже толковая. поразительно, текст нигде почему-то не найти. what a shame!

это из альбома Creole Moon, из всего альбома текст можно найти только одной песни, Imitation of Love.

вот тут короткая рецензия: Dr. John’s Creole Moon

еще замечательная композиция B.B. King – All Over Again, текст очень даже есть:
I've got a good mind to give up living, and go shopping instead
I say, I've got a good mind to give up living, and go
                                        shopping instead
To pick up me a tombstone, and be pronounced dead

Тhen I read your letter this morning, that was in your place in bed
I read your letter this morning, that was in your place in bed
That's when I decided, that I would be better off dead

It read, there is no use you looking, or ever hoping to get me back
Oh, there's no use you looking, or ever hoping to get me back
Yes, because it's all over now, and you can bet on that

Koko Taylor


I'm a woman, I'm a ball of fire
I'm a woman, I can make love to a crocodile
I'm a woman, I can sing the blues
I'm a woman, I can change old to new

dust on an empty shelf


And if nobody loves you
And you feel like dust on an empty shelf
Just remember
You can love yourself

- Keb' Mo', You Can Love Yourself
