but you cannot smite a word.
~ from Don't Pick a Fight with a Poet
Madeleine Peyroux for this Music Monday:
You got palatial mansions;
I got rented flat.
You got Persian kittens;
I got tabby cats.
You got art collections;
I got comic books.
You use plastic surgery;
I stay the way I look.
You travel private jet;
I stand by overnight.
You romance with chandeliers;
I use candlelight
(Oh) But there's one thing I got more
When I'm rich, you're poor
It's that real good lovin'--
The kind you can't afford.

Excellent poetry in her lyrics, too.
Really enjoyed her songs...and her band was great (especially the lead guitarist on The Kind You Can't Afford).
I love, love, love her voice.
Just great, Tabatha. Love the words, too!
