Tracy Chapman

Jus' cause.

Fast Car - the ultimate "god I wan't something more" song.


New Beginning. "Whole world's broke... Ain't worth fixin'... We need to make new symbols."

Sandy hates this song. I love it. Such is marriage.


"I'm here to keep the peace."


The illusion that lied [layed?]... no, actually the past tense of "lie" is better... of every fucked up pseudo-relationship I'd ever had till I got married - "...if I told you the right words, at the right time, you'd be mine."


"At this point in my life
I've done so many things wrong I don't know if I can do right
If you put your trust in me I hope I won't let you down
If you give me a chance I'll try

You see it's been a hard road the road I'm traveling on
And if I take your hand I might lead you down the path to ruin
I've had a hard life I'm just saying it so you'll understand
That right now, right now, I'm doing the best I can
At this point in my life

At this point in my life
Although I've mostly walked in the shadows
I'm still searching for the light


...You see I've been climbing stairs but mostly stumbling down
I've been reaching high always losing ground
You see I've conquered hills but I still have mountains to climb
And right now right now I'm doing the best I can
At this point in my life

Before we take a step
Before we walk down that path
Before I make any promises
Before you have regrets
Before we talk commitment
Let me tell you of my past
All I've seen and all I've done
The things I'd like to forget
At this point in my life


At this point in my life
I'd like to live as if only love mattered
As if redemption was in sight
As if the search to live honestly
Is all that anyone needs
No matter if you find it..."

[The only vid of this I can find is, oddly enough, a Xena tribute vid. Still.]

  1. Dude, where are you getting this stuff? I don't hate that song at all. I like it just fine. You must be hearing my evil twin's voice. ;)
