Queen Lisa asked: >"I tried and tried and tried that night, I cried and cried so that we would >fight" ... so WHY did he cry to make them fight? I think he was trying so much to make the relationship work that it finally got to him, and he had to cry because it was so painfully obvious that it wasn't working and they needed to fight to finally break them apart. > but why did he cry to make them fight? Or, it could also mean that he was trying and trying to break up because it was obviously not working, but his attempts weren't working so he was forcing the issue by crying. You know, how someone crying can escalate a fight.. I can also see the crying not be the crying coming from tears, but cyring as in, "Stella..Steelllaaaa". Well, not that, but you know what I mean. maria PS-- Happy 39.95th birthday Queen! ;) Actually, 39.95th sounds older than 40.. ^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^ "Why are they singing about a lazy boy?

I'll explain with what happened to me: I'm from NYC, and my ex is from one part of Florida. Over spring break, it being a good 3 months since I'd seen him, I went to another part of Florida where my grandma lives. One night, as I was falling asleep, I started crying wishing he'd do something to sabotage the relationship. So I don't think he's necessarily crying in front of her, but crying over the futility of the situation. In the end, I think he's the dumpee rather than the dumpER. At any rate, that's my interpretation. I don't know if it makes sense to any of you guys, but this is one of my faves on Wood for the above reasons. - -J writing a song called the Ballad of Jill V.

This is completely off topic, but it reminded me of one I got yesterday: _________________ A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her nameplate that the teller's name is Patricia Whack. So he says,"Ms.Whack, I'd like to get a loan to buy a boat and go on a long vacation." Patti looks at the frog in disbelief and asks how much he wants to borrow. The frog says $30,000. The teller asks his name and the frog says that his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it's OK, he knows the bank manager. Patti explains that $30,000 is a substantial amount of money and that he will need to secure some collateral against the loan. She asks if he has anything he can use as collateral. The frog says, "Sure. I have this," and produces a tiny pink porcelain elephant, about half an inch tall. Bright pink and perfectly formed. Very confused, Patti explains that she'll have to consult with the manager and disappears into a back office. She finds the manager and says: "There's a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000. And he wants to use this as collateral." She holds up the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what the heck is this?"...... The bank manager looks back at her and says: "It's a knick knack, Patti Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone". __________________ ~jen ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Nobody likes you when you're 23"-- Blink 182 "Do you know that you are very strong?"-- Grover "Measure your life in love."--Rent ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V3 #875 ********************************************
