Another song that moved me....
I don't know what the fuck is going on karma-wise -- but somehow I am getting drawn into songs. It happend again, this time from my all-time hero, Elton John. His album "Peachtree Road" really digs deep into sexuality.
His song "Freaks in Love" just stunned me as I heard it for the first time.
FREAKS IN LOVE
by Elton John and Bernie Taupin
Me and you we're not that pretty
Me and you could use a lift
I'm out here on the corner crying
I got ribbons but I got no gift
Me and you we're all we've got
Me and you could be our curse
We've got bleeding hearts and flowers
You got strings but you got no purse
We're just freaks in love
Saints above
Shine on our sweet life
Happy is the union
Of fools and freaks alike
And fearless are the idiots
Among the hawks and doves
We're on the outside looking in
A couple of freaks in love
There's a wonder in this weakness
It's so beautiful sometimes
Across the universe we're lightning
In the race we're a step behind
Me and you we're not for everyone
Me and you we're damaged goods
We're antique and unacceptable
And just misunderstood

It is a beautiful song, granted. But I would love to hear a song more specific to the true idios of bondage- an not 'Venus in Furs' (love ya Lou, but...) "lick the whip, now bleed for me..." is a bit much.
Just waiting for Stipe to call it, who else would? Actually I have but I can't sing a note...and acoustic guitar is not the instrument for what I have in mind.
