Who’s sorry now? Who’s sorry now? Whose heart is achin’ for breakin’ each vow? Who’s sad and blue? Who’s cryin’ too? Just like I cried over you
Right to the end Just like a friend I tried to warn you somehow You had your way Now you must pay I’m glad that you’re sorry now

I notice the celebrity deaths…I can’t help it. I remember listening to Connie Francis as a teen. (One of my Aunts really liked the 50’s rock.) I come by my eclectic music tastes naturally. She wasn’t one of the ones that I listened to relentlessly but I did like a few of the songs. I cannot help but pay tribute to that. May she rest well and her memory be a blessing.
so I have been trying to consider the Saturday thing and I came across multiple people this week asking for ideas for cheap covers or ways to do things cheaper when Self Publishing.
I am firm on my beliefs that you should hire an editor for your work. That being said, you can do everything else for yourself to save money. I am not saying you will be able to do it as well…but it is possible. I am going to start talking about self Publishing and some of the snarls.
I will talk about each step of the process. I will give advice on how I have been doing this. I don’t know how long this series will take but I think it may be fun.

I myself have felt like this. on both sides of the song. I am sure that others have too.
verse Don’t bother askin′ me to ever give my lady up Was about five years old, takin’ my first puff It was love at first light, fell in love the first night My uncle told me, “Don’t rush, this could be your first crush” Now I′m on the block with all the homies, and it′s a family affair 17 with a dream, blowin’ smoke in the air Servin′ fiends, my routine is where I was that year Avoidin’ ′em fuckin’ pandas in my rearview mirror County blues, wanna lose shit, I′m with all of my peers Lookin’ back, I wouldn’t change shit, oh what a career I used to flip bags with her (yeah), skip class with her (yeah) She′s comfortable as fuck when I′m tryna smash with her She got a lotta fans, and they’re always harassin′ us Ashes to ash to dust, feels like I’m Lazarus I can′t get past the rush, never pass her up Who took this bitch worldwide? Nigga, we’re gassin′ up, now is the
chorus Last dance with Mary Jane, one more time to kill the pain Even before the fame, she was my Novacane You know it ain’t gon’ change, ′cause now I feel summer creepin′ in, and I’m tired of this town again And if the truth remains that it just ain′t the same Without my Lois Lane by my side
verse I’ve seen some things in my life, it feels like ragin′ inside This time I’m changin′ my mind, I’m sayin’ goodbye to the dangerous side Sometimes you gotta roll with it, fightin′ fire is a damn cold finesse Somehow she came in my life Between the white lines and made it alright (well alright) And everything she ever told me, knew it from the get-go, yes I did (yes I did) And if I gotta grab a can of gasoline, strike a match, I′ma burn that bridge It’s so unfair what she did to me, the way she sparked this epiphany I tried to walk away, but I′m stumblin’, whole world crumblin′ Some things never change, but now it’s my

My 2 cents –
the video is so trippy. I love the original version but I like this one too.
Born down in a dead man’s town The first kick I took was when I hit the ground You end up like a dog that’s been beat too much Till you spend half your life just covering up
Born in the U.S.A. I was born in the U.S.A. I was born in the U.S.A. Born in the U.S.A.
Got in a little hometown jam So they put a rifle in my hand Sent me off to a foreign land To go and kill the yellow man
Born in the U.S.A. I was born in the U.S.A. I was born in the U.S.A. I was born in the U.S.A. Born in the U.S.A.
Come back home to the refinery Hiring man says “Son if it was up to me” Went down to see my V.A. man He said “Son, don’t you understand”
I had a brother at Khe Sanh fighting off the Viet Cong They’re still there, he’s all gone
He had a woman he loved in Saigon I got a picture of him in her arms now
Down in the shadow of the penitentiary Out by the gas fires of the refinery I’m ten years burning down the road Nowhere to run ain’t got nowhere to go
Born in the U.S.A. I was born in the U.S.A. Born in the U.S.A. I’m a long gone Daddy in the U.S.A. Born in the U.S.A. Born in the U.S.A. Born in the U.S.A. I’m a cool rocking Daddy in the U.S.A.
My 2 cents –
This is one of the most misunderstood songs. I have heard quite a few people lately asking about protest songs, And I can probably do that and nothing else for years, as music is good for expressing reality in a manageable way. So many people see this as a patriotic song…I see it as a lament. Perhaps the antiwar songs will be making my blog more in the future…after all I fear that is the direction that the US is going.
There are no more tears to cry I heard you beggin’ for life Runnin’ out of medicine You’re worse than you’ve ever been
screamin’ for me, baby (Ah-ah) like you’re gonna die (Ah-ah) poison on the inside I could be your antidote tonight (Ah-ah) screamin’ for me, baby (Ah-ah) like you’re gonna die (Ah-ah) poison on the inside I could be your antidote tonight
I could play the doctor, I can cure your disease If you were a sinner, I could make you believe Lay you down like one, two, three Eyes roll back in ecstasy I can smell your sickness, I can cure ya (cure) Cure your disease
You’re so tortured when you sleep Plagued with all your memories You reach out, and no one’s there Like a god without a prayer
screamin’ for me, baby (Ah-ah) like you’re gonna die (Ah-ah) poison on the inside I could be your antidote tonight (Ah-ah) screamin’ for me, baby (Ah-ah) like you’re gonna die (Ah-ah) poison on the inside I could be your antidote tonight
I could play the doctor, I can cure your disease If you were a sinner, I could make you believe Lay you down like one, two, three Eyes roll back in ecstasy I can smell your sickness, I can cure ya (cure) Cure your disease
cure your disease (Ah) I can smell your sickness, I can cure ya
Bring me your desire, I can cure your disease If you were a sinner, I could make you believe Lay you down like one, two, three Eyes roll back in ecstasy I know all your secrets, I can cure ya, oh Cure your disease
cure your disease (Ah) cure ya (Ah) I can smell your sickness, I can cure ya I can cure your disease (Ah) cure your disease (Ah) cure your disease (Ah) ooh (Ah) ooh
My 2 cents –
I find myself with no doubts that she could do something….but maybe not cure the issues I have. Still the song is definitely worth listening to.
