It’s Friday night and you’re a total mess
You sit there wondering what to do
Where’s that positive mental attitude?
The kids are laughing on the sidewalk
You’re cold and silent as the moon
They may be calling you to join them sometime soon
And now you’re dancing somewhere downtown
Under the glow of flashing lights
But something lingers in the shadows on these nights
Something that you can’t escape
Here today and here tomorrow
It’s your sorrow
You try to fight the feeling
Ah but the feeling fights back
Life is a train that’s running right off track
Big city lovers with no compassion
Break your heart in every fashion
For the whole world to see
Something that you wear on your sleeve
Here today and here tomorrow
It’s your sorrow
Oh the majesty of what could be
When you find your true calling
With every river crossed, you’ll get back all you’ve lost
Someday soon
So don’t you try and fight the feeling
Because the feeling fights back
There ain’t no shame in being where you’re at
Something yours and yours alone
Here today and here tomorrow
It’s your sorrow
Current me is slightly miffed at past me for having been so dismissive of the first Beths track I was introduced to: "Whatever"
I think it was being slammed everywhere - and my response to that track was in keeping with the title...
I shoulda given them a chance.
As someone keen on more than a couple of Flying Nun luminaries, I submit their work is so much better than that early radio single.
"You Wouldn't Like Me". Soo catchy.
Uptown Girl, is bangin', makes me wanna drink the whole town dry! theUtmost
