The lonely convolutes my memories

I was driving home from Orlando tonight listening to music. Do you ever hear the words to a song and you feel like the person has lived your life? The song tonight is Talk by Amy Dalley. It's the only song of hers that I could not find the lyrics online. I just sang it in my head and typed them--I hope I got them right. My favourite line is "Sometimes late at night the lonely convolutes my memories" (or at least that is what I always belt out when I am singing along...) Ain't that the truth--it is easy to forget the AssClownedness when lonely.



Talk

Come on in
It's not a bad time at all
It's been a while, how ya been, you're looking good
I was gonna give you a call

I memorized
All the hurtful things you said
But lately missing you is messing with the way I replay em in my head

So talk, tell me how miserable you were and ramble on
Bout how much I had to learn about men
You know that thing about the life that you deserved
Say that again
It makes me mad
When I'm alone I blame myself
I forget a lot of stuff

So I'll shut up
and let you talk

How bout the trip?
The one where I was such a drag
Where you got drunk and made new friends and laughed at me
come on, bring it all back

So breaking up
kinda bummed me out at first
And you're amazed at just how fast you caught your breath
Now it doesn't even hurt


So talk, tell me how miserable you were and ramble on
Bout how much I had to learn about men
You know that thing about the life that you deserved
Say that again
It makes me mad
When I'm alone I blame myself
I forget a lot of stuff

So I'll shut up
and let you talk

It makes me mad
When I'm alone I blame myself
I forget a lot of stuff
So I'm glad that you stopped by
You're just proving I was right
You were not the one for me
Oh it's in every word you speak
Sometimes late at night the lonely convolutes my memories

So I'll shut up
and let you talk
I'll shut up and let you talk


Here's a link to the video. It has a painful ad in the beginning...

  1. Lord knows I feel your pain in this area. Easy to forget the BS when you're lonely. That's why we have friends to remind us of the BS so we don't wander back into it! :)

  2. Some of my fave lyrics from The Eels:

    In my heart of hearts I know it well
    Been giving myself the soft sell
    Anyone can see that i've been running away
    Not facing the day that's here

    It's time to man up
    I'm man enough
    It's time to man up
    I'm man enough
    (I'm man enough for you)
    It's time to man up

    The phone is off, the blinds are down
    Me and my heart are out of town
    The sign is hammered up
    Do not disturb
    Don't say another word
    To me

    It's time to man up
    I'm man enough
    (I'm man enough for you)
    It's time to man up

    In my heart of hearts I know it well
    I hit the ground hard when I fell
    Not licking wounds but more like sewing them up
    Man it was rough
    For me
