- 1. Now it's just another show/you leave them laughing when you go/and if you care, don't let them know/ don't give yourself away
- 2. Seems like I've been in this same situation for so many years/ tethered to a ringing telephone in a roomful of mirrors
- 3. She will love them when she sees them/ they will lose her if they follow/ and she only means to please them/ and her heart is full and hollow
- 4. Then he took his contradictions out/ and he splashed them on my brow/ so which words was I then to doubt/ when choosing what to vow
- 5. But you know it's hard to tell/ when you're in the spell if it's wrong or if it's real/ but you're bound to lose/ if you let the blues get you scared to feel

Okay, so I'm a bit obsessed with Joni Mitchell...but I can't help but think she makes brilliant observations on the human condition. Here are some of my favorites. Bonus points if you identify the song (if anyone out there is actually as obsessed as I am).
1. Clouds (Clouds
2. Same Situation (Court & Spark)
3. Cactus Tree (I had to look this one up, although I knew the song, I didn't remember the name.) I have it on Miles of Aisles
4. The Priest (ladies of the Canyon?)
5. Please tell me, becasue I'm singing it in head!
