Divorce -- The Soundtrack

[Deuce]

Music is universal.

I am especially sensitive to the lyrics of songs, sometimes it feels as if the radio or the stereo has come to life and is speaking directly to me, usually about what is most on my mind at the moment. Sometimes it speaks aloud what my subconscious cannot articulate. The stronger the feelings, the louder the voice. The cacophony these days is deafening.

Here are the tunes (and lyrics) that reverberate in my head and my heart.

Wipeout -- The Surfaris

"Already Over Me" -- The Rolling Stones
(Jagger/Richards)

As you poured out the drinks for me
I felt your hooks sink right into me
And I knew you were my destiny
And I thought you'd get the best of me

On the way down to Mexico
As I danced in your rodeo
You say poverty is picturesque
As you dragged your nails across my chest

You're so cold
You're so cruel
I'm your man
Not your fool

Are you already over me
Are you already over me
Are you already over me
What a fool I've been

In the first flush of ecstasy
As you lay naked next to me
While our love put the dawn to flight
I just ignore all those warning lights

Cause when you laugh
I just cry
When you left
I just died

Are you already over me
Are you already over me
Are you already sick me
What a fool I've been

Hard to hold on
To a love divine
I'm kneeling in a corner
Praying to your shrine

I've been hurt
So confused
I've been burned
I've been bruised

Are you already over me
Are you already over me
Are you already sick of me
Are you already over me
Are you already over me
Are you already tired of me
Are you already over me
What a fool I've been
What a fool I've been
What a fool I've been
