\"Stood<\/p>\n

T<\/span>hough totally different in musical feel, today’s song mirrors yesterday’s in some ways. The music is darkly funky (or aspires to be) but the lyrics are a bit self-consciously grim.<\/p>\n

If yesterday’s “Hasta” (below) had a bit of playful, if sardonic whimsy, “Stood Up” is decidedly darker and meaner.<\/p>\n

There’s a nastiness to lines like “If this is the best love you can shove into my face…” that might give a clue as to why I have sometimes been known as the Bard of Bitterness, Denial, and Regret. Like you were wondering…<\/p>\n\n

I STOOD UP TO YOUR LOVE<\/strong><\/p>\n

ya said its hard to love you
\nand I useta find that true
\nbut now its impossible
\nno matter what I do (but)<\/p>\n

I stood up to your love
\nI stood up like a man
\nI gave and gave and gave
\nuntil I didn’t give a damn<\/p>\n

if this is the best love
\nya can shove into my face
\nmaybe you should save it
\ncause I seem ta lost the taste<\/p>\n

I used to see ya
\nin your fishnets and mini skirt
\nI just wanted to get to know ya
\nnot roll with you in the dirt<\/p>\n

but then thats your idea of love baby
\nno matter who gets hurt
\nyoure gonna do what youre wanna do
\nand youll get yours first<\/p>\n

well im here to tell ya
\nbest not count me truly yours
\ncause party of the second part
\ndone just ran around the world<\/p>\n
