you were dancing like a dying matador
amongst an armada of four by fours
we were running in the morning
from the land of lego
fugitives of rainbow road
where all the golden pavestones littered rainbow glow
but if it's every-fucking-where you go
then surely it's no rainbow

no 'hi there's or 'how do you do?'s
just a blur when i was introduced to you
no chats of weather or dissertation deadlines
i knew we were leaving
yeah, we were leaving
me and madeleine

and now i'm scribbling chick-lit-tle hearts
i tell my friends and they all rip me apart
paper aeroplanes launched across the bar
with piss-take love notes
embarrassing to say the least
peeling the label of your orange reef
we made a swift exit at double speed
discussing rainbows

no 'hi there's or 'how do you do?'s
just a blur where i was introduced to you
no chats of weather or dissertation deadlines
i knew we were leaving
yeah, we were leaving
me and madeleine
i knew we were leaving
yeah, we were leaving
me and madeleine
i knew we were leaving
yeah, we were leaving
me and madeleine

Jesse with the long hair....
Robert Earl Keen, Jr.
Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

Corpse I Fell In Love With
Gadjits, The
He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
