Mose Allison - Your Mind Is On Vacation (But Your Mouth IS Working Overtime)


This is the 70's version of a song that he originally cut in the early 60's.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCpekvOkwNM

You’re sitting there yakin’
in my face
I guess I'm gonna have to
Put you in your place

You know if silence was golden
You couldn't raise a dime
Because your mind is on vacation
But your mouth is working overtime

You're quoting figures
And dropping names
You're tellin' stories
About the dames
You're over-laughin'
When things ain't funny
You're tryin' to sound
Like you're the big money

You know If talk was criminal
You'd lead a life of crime
Because your mind is on vacation
and your mouth is working overtime

You know that Life is short, talk is cheap
Don't go makin' promises that you can't keep
If you don't like this little song I'm singin'
Just grin and bear it
All I can say is if the shoe fits, wear it

If you must keep talkin', please try to make it rhyme
Because your mind is on vacation
But your mouth is working overtime

Nick Lowe

I trained her to love me

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zuMmQJoosA

Do you see the way she lights up when I walk in the room
-that's good-
and the skip in her step when we're both out walking in the neighborhood

this one's almost done now to watch her fall apart
I trained her to love me so I can go ahead and break her heart

If you think that it's depraved and I should be ashamed
-so what-
I'm only paying back womankind for all the grief I've got

I've got the latest believing, for ever I'll be true
I trained her to love me, now excuse me, I got work to do

I trained her to love me
and I'm gonna start working on another after this
and when I got that one in a state of bliss
betray her with a kiss

Well one time, one call of bluff told me I only do this cause I can
mmmmmmm
and I'm bound to wind up one lonely twisted old man
but look out here comes a prime contender for my agenda

if ever there was one and I'm gonna train her to love me until it's time to do what must be done

I trained her to love me
and I'm gonna start working on another after this and when I got that one in a state of bliss
betray her with a kiss




and


The Beast in Me

The beast in me
Is caged by frail and fragile bonds
Restless by day
And by night, rants and rages at the stars
God help, the beast in me
The beast in me
Has had to learn to live with pain
And how to shelter from the rain
And in the twinkling of an eye
Might have to be restrained
God help the beast in me

Sometimes
It tries to kid me that it's just a teddy bear
Or even somehow managed
To vanish in the air
And that is when I must beware
Of the beast in me
That everybody knows
They've seen him out dressed in my clothes
Patently unclear
If it's New York or New Year
God help the beast in me
The beast in me

I just sang a song for an audition that got me a callback. Woohoo! It's one of my favorites, September Song, by Kurt Weil, lyrics by Maxwell Anderson.
Really sums it up for me.
