123/365 - I ain't nuthin' but tired - man I'm just tired and bored with myself

365 - The 2010 Edition - May 3, 2010

 

Happy Bench Monday, y'all..

 

I think I've mentioned that I don't dance much, but of course, it hasn't always been that way.. and this is one of those songs that set my feet to moving - even today.. And as I listen to it, I'm reminded of Steve Martin in "The Jerk" when he finally hears a song on the radio that he can keep time with - that is written in HIS natural rhythm.. Maybe that's my problem - I need something that matches the rhythm of MY soul...

 

I get up in the evening and I ain't got nothing to say

I come home in the morning, I go to bed feelin' the same way

I ain't nothing but tired, man I'm just tired and bored with myself

Hey there baby, I could use just a little help

 

You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a spark

This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark

 

Message just keep getting clearer, radio's on and I'm moving 'round my place*

I check my look in the mirror, I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face

Man, I ain't getting nowhere, I'm just living in a dump like this

There's something happening somewhere, baby I just know that there is

 

You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a spark

This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
