I've got no fire inside of me
Can't be the man I try to be
Oh, Mr. Lonesome hanging round
Don't wanna see nobody
Don't wanna be nobody
Oh, Mr Lonesome got me down
He makes me leave the party
When folks are laughin' hearty
Happiness is one thing he can't stand
Nobody wants or needs me
I go just where he leads me
Oh, Mr. Lonesome got my hand
And so my whole life over
Each day is like the other
But still if my one wish could be
If that old chain that binds me
Breaks when true love finds me
And Mr. Lonesome sets me free
Oh, Mr. Lonesome got me down

And I'm caught one more time
Up on Cyprus Avenue
I'm caught one more time
Up on Cyprus Avenue
And I'm conquered in a car seat
Not a thing that I can do
I may go crazy
Before that mansion on the hill
I may go crazy
Before that mansion on the hill
But my heart keeps beating faster
And my feet can't keep still
And all the little girls rhyme something
On way back home from school
And all the little girls rhyme something
On the way back home from school
And the leaves fall one by one
And call the autumn time a fool
Yeah, my t-tongue gets tied
Every, every, every time I try to speak
My tongue gets tied
Every time I try to speak
And my inside shakes just like a leaf on a tree
I think I'll go walking by the railroad with my cherry, cherry wine
I believe I'll go walking by the railroad with my cherry, cherry wine
If I pass the rumbling station where the lonesome engine drivers pine
Poster's Note: This is where the narrator suddenly begins to feel optimistic
Wait a minute, yonder come my lady
Rainbow ribbons in her hair
Yonder come my lady
Rainbow ribbons in her hair
Six white horses and a carriage
She's returning from the fair
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Well, I'm caught one more time
Up on Cyprus Avenue
Oh yes, I am
I'm caught one more time
Up on Cyprus Avenue, oh
And I'm conquered in a car seat
And I'm looking straight at you
Way up on, way up on
Way up on, way up on, way up on
Way up on, way up on, way up on
Way up on, way up on, way up on
Way up on
To the avenue of trees
Keep walking down
In the wind and the rain, darling
You keep walking down when the sun shone through the trees
Nobody, no, no, no, no, nobody stops me from loving you baby
So young and bold, 14 year old
Poster's Note: ...
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Ooh, yeah

itโs so hard to choose just one song but this is a favorite that comes to mind:
Next door the TV's flashing blue frames on the wall
It's a comedy from the seventiesย with a lead no one recalls
He vanished into oblivion
It's easy to do
And I cried a sea when you talked to me
The day you said we were through
But it's alright, some enchanted night I'll be with you

I am still living with your ghost
Lonely and dreaming of the west coast
I don't wanna be your downtime
I don't wanna be your stupid game
With my big black boots and an old suitcase
I do believe I'll find myself a new place
I don't wanna be the bad guy
I don't wanna do your sleepwalk dance anymore
I just wanna see some palm trees
I will try and shake away this disease
We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
Watch the world die
We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
Watch the world die
I am still dreaming of your face
Hungry and hollow for all the things you took away
I don't wanna be your good time
I don't wanna be your fall-back crutch anymore
Walk right up into a brand new day
Insane and rising in my own weird way
I don't wanna be the bad guy
I don't wanna do your sleepwalk dance anymore
I just wanna feel some sunshine
I just wanna find some place to be alone

the good thing about analog photography is that in the moment you're taking that picture you're not thinking about how shit the result is going to be (it will be shit)
