\"Kingdom<\/p>\n

3 n<\/span>ewly recorded songs dedicated to The Fool…<\/p>\n

I told my self<\/span>
\nLife has no meaning<\/span>
\nI told myself<\/span>
\nI should stop dreaming<\/span>
\nI told myself<\/span>
\nI should stop being such a fool<\/span><\/p>\n

Three songs about three different kinds of fools… [and let me hasten to point out that while All Fool’s day caught me off guard today with the startling news that Apple was leaving the home computer market, I must still have been subconsciously thinking ahead: yesterday’s song<\/span><\/a> — which went up quite late last night — and is kind of interesting if I do say so myself — had the line: “…in the Idiot’s Guide to Love I must be listed in the back under ‘Fool’…”<\/p>\n

lyrics<\/span><\/span>
\nKingdom of Fools<\/i><\/b>
\nAin’t no such thing
\nas too high to fall
\naint no place so low
\nyou can’t get there
\nif you crawl<\/p>\n

Ain’t no bro’
\nso close you can’t play him down
\n’cause in the kingdom of Fools<\/span>
\nonly one can wear the crown<\/span><\/p>\n

Ain’t no truth so pure
\nyou can’t turn it to a lie
\nain’t no love so deep
\nyou can’t drain it ’til it’s dry<\/p>\n

ain’t no flower so pretty
\nyou can’t crush it to the ground
\nin the Kingdom of Fools
\nonly one can wear the crown
\n<\/span>
\nAin’t no lie
\nthat can ever make you see the truth
\nand your whole life ’til now
\nis just so much living proof<\/p>\n

Ain’t no one but you
\ncan keep you from where you’re bound
\n‘Cause in the Kingdom of Fools
\nOnly one can wear the crown<\/span>

lyrics<\/span><\/span>
\nNo Fool<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Sitting all alone
\nby my telephone
\nWaited all day
\nbut that’s okay
\nI could wait all night
\nand that would be all right
\nfor a woman like you
\nI would wait all my life<\/p>\n

Sometimes I pull myself together
\nand I go downtown
\nI’m all dressed up
\nand I wander around
\nand I feel like a fool
\nI can’t stop thinking of you
\nWhen you’re all alone
\nthis city’s so cruel<\/p>\n

I walk along the river
\nuntil the stars come out
\nI sit by myself alone in the dark
\nand I wonder
\nOh yes I wonder
\nI’m just like a child
\nbut I am no fool
\nI know it’s over
\n

\nI Should Stop Being Such a Fool<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I told my self
\nLife has no meaning
\nI told myself
\nI should stop dreaming
\nI told myself
\nI should stop being such a fool<\/p>\n

I told myself
\nlove’s just a lie
\nI told myself
\nI should get wise
\nI told myself
\nbeing kind is just being cruel<\/p>\n

Lookin in my heart<\/span>
\nwas like lookin’ in a well<\/span>
\nand if there was a bottom<\/span>
\nyou couldn’t really tell<\/span>
\nas dark as midnight<\/span>
\nall the way down to hell<\/span>
\none day I looked in<\/span>
\nand then I just fell<\/span><\/p>\n

Then I looked in my soul
\nand I saw that it was empty
\nand I said to myself
\njust like the rest of them
\nand i said out loud
\nfrom here on
\nit’s all ’bout number one<\/p>\n

But I added that up
\nand I factored in forever
\nI subtracted my dreams then
\ndivided that by never
\nWhen I saw the bottom line
\nI sat down — I knew that
\nI was done<\/p>\n

Lookin in my heart…<\/span><\/p>\n

Back then I told my self
\nLife has no meaning
\nAnd I told myself
\nI should stop dreaming
\nThen I told myself
\nI should stop being such a fool<\/p>\n

But then I thought to myself
\nwhat’s it all for?
\nand I thought to myself
\nmust be something more
\nand I realized all at once
\nthere’s more than one kind of fool<\/p>\n
