This Cyndi Lauper CD seems to have been with me all my life since I was 18 or 19.
It was an ex of mine who recorded it for me the first time. I found it very sensual, and it lulled me while I suntanned on a Sardinian beach. A few months (or maybe weeks) later I left him. I think this CD contributed to it, along with Heart's Brigade and Ligabue's Balliamo sul mondo. I needed freedom, and this CD spoke of freedom.

Then, when I first left for Lyon, I was leaving behind a year of sufferings, humiliations, losses (including a death), and awful mistakes. In my ears, on the train, there was
It was a new beginning.

Now, I hadn't been listening to it for a very long time, when I decided I felt like listening to it, today, while washing the dishes (yes! I did it! Finally!). And I was very amused in rediscovering .

(My favourite lines are You rescued me I didn't want to be saved/I got tired of your missionary position babe LOL)

How different from now!
Is there a song for this moment of my life too? Oh yeah. Here it is (and it is even on right now... coincidences...)

Alice Cooper

I posted it on my Multilingual Blog.

Well, just because this song is a bonus track, so the lyrics are not included in the CD and I have only found them on the internet, I write them down as a reminder :)

Bon Jovi, 'Dirty Little Secret'

I light a candle
In the garden of love
To blind the angels
Looking down from above
I want, I need
The fruit of your pine
It tastes so bitter sweet
Cause I know it's not mine
I want to come inside

Hit the lights
And I'll come crawling to your window tonight
Come on and send the sign
I'll be your dirty little secret and you'll be mine
You got me knock knock knocking at your door
And I'll be coming back for more
We made a promise and we keep it
Our dirty little secret

We act like strangers
When you're holding his hand
Cause there's a danger
That we both understand
We run like thiefs
Through the temple of sin
Till we fall on our knees then you go back to him
I want to feel alive

Hit the lights
And I'll come crawling to your window tonight
Come on and send the sign
I'll be your dirty little secret and you'll be mine
You got me knock knock knocking at your door
And I'll be coming back for more
We made a promise and we keep it
Our dirty little secret

Hit the lights
And I'll come crawling to your window tonight
Come on and send the sign
I'll be your dirty little secret and you'll be mine
You got me knock knock knocking at your door
And I'll be coming back for more
We made a promise and we keep it

Our dirty little secret
Our dirty little secret
Our dirty little secret
Our dirty little secret
Our dirty little secret

I find it quite science fictional, as if it was about a world where there are no more rock concerts. I can't get enough of it.

Album:		Have A Nice Day
Track:		LAST MAN STANDING

Come see a living, breathing spectacle only seen right here
It's your last chance in this lifetime, the line forms at the rear
You won't believe your eyes
Your eyes will not believe your ears
Get your money out, get ready
Step right up, yeah you, come here

You ain't seen nothing like him, he's the last one of the breed
Better hold on to your, honey
Honeys, don't forget to breathe
Enter at your own risk, mister
It might change the way you think
There's no dancers, there's no diamonds
No, this boy don't lip synch

Here's the last man standing
Step right up, here's the real thing
The last chance of a lifetime
Come and see, hear, feel… the real thing

See those real live calloused fingers wrapped around those guitar strings
Kiss the lips where hurt has lingered
It breaks your heart to hear them sing
The songs were more than music, they were pictures from the soul
So keep your pseudo-punk, hip-hop, pop-rock junk
And your digital downloads

Here's the last man standing
Step right up, here's the real thing
The last chance of a lifetime
To come and see, hear, feel… the real thing

Take your seats, now folks – it's showtime
Hey, Patrick, hit the lights
There's something in the air, there's magic in the night
Now here's the band, the really play
I'll count the first one in
I don't know where it's going
We all know where it's been

Here's the last man standing
Step right up, here's the real thing
The last chance of a lifetime
To come and see, hear, feel…
The last man standing
Step right up, here's the real thing
The last chance of a lifetime
Come and see, hear, feel…
The real thing, the real thing, the real thing, the real thing…

Take a look around, this is what I see
Is there anybody else that feels like me, yeah
You sweat, you sweat, you bleed, you bleed
What you get ain't what you see
Up is down and black is white to me

I'm complicated, I get frustrated
Right or wrong, love or hate it
I'm complicated, you can't sedate it
I heard that song but I won't play it
It's alright, it's OK, you wouldn't want me any other way
Momma, keep on praying ‘cause I ain't changin'
I'm complicated, yeah
I'm complicated, yeah

I'm smart enough to know what I don't know
I'm fool enough to stay when I should go
You work, you work, you cry, you cry
You watch your whole life pass you by
Sometimes you've got to close your eyes to see

I'm complicated, I get frustrated
Right or wrong, love or hate it
I'm complicated, you can't sedate it
Heard that song but I won't play it
It's alright, it's OK, you wouldn't want me any other way
Momma, keep on praying ‘cause I ain't changin'
I'm complicated, yeah
I'm complicated, yeah

Is there anybody out there?
Just like everybody out there
Just one somebody out there, Just like me

I'm complicated, I get frustrated
Right or wrong, love or hate it
I'm complicated, you can't sedate it
I heard that song but I won't play it
It's alright, it's okay, you wouldn't want me any other way
Momma, keep on praying, ‘cause I ain't changin'
I'm complicated, I get frustrated
Right or wrong, love or hate it
I'm complicated, you can't sedate it
Heard that song but I won't play it

Is there anybody out there?
Just like everybody out there
Just one somebody out there
Just like me
Is there anybody out there
Just like everybody out there
Just one somebody out there
Just like me
I'm complicated
