100 Word Song - She Talks To Angels

Vacation season has even affected everyone’s favorite 100 word song meme. Someone’s in The Hamptons. Somebody else is away. We only had six responses. But, they rocked. Kat aka @sassyirishlasie’s song choice was great for me, and six of you really brought it hard. Since everyone who wrote has picked before, we’re going back to k, aka @celestialrain, and her excellent 100 http://bloggitwrite.blogspot.com/ we’re also breaking some rules. The Black Crowes were featured before. Thsi time k chose She Talks To Angels, the epic ballad from Atlanta band (I’ve seen them love 4 times). It’s a song about a goth girl singer Chris Robinson knew addicted to heroin but it can be interpreted so many ways. It fit into my book, The Ballad of Helene Troy. I wrote twelve songs for the novel. My 100 for this week is one of those tunes. Imagine a G/C/D power chord with a Marshall amp cut and turned up to 10.

Last time with Helene: http://lancemyblogcanbeatupyourblog.wordpress.com/2012/06/22/another-girl-another-planet/

You have two voices

there’s the one that lies, it’s the one that calls

late at night, makes me question my choices

the younger one shouldn’t care for the one that falls

you’re always talking about special

going on about something beyond

but you suck at details, you’re superficial

you take, you take, you’re the dusk before dawn (chorus)

What happened was bad but there’s gotta be another day

second chance turned fifth, and I’m downing one to get by

I’m on vodka because the whiskey’s gone away

I’m too pissed for drunk and too tired to cry

(repeat chorus twice)
