\"My
\nI <\/span>wake up at nite<\/span>
\nbut it ain’t because of you<\/span>
\nOh yeah I wake up at nite<\/span>
\nbut it sure ain’t because of you<\/span>
\nI’m just listening to the plaster crack<\/span>
\nand the clock tick in the next guy’s room<\/span><\/p>\n

Ran that through the Babelfish translator and came up with this:<\/p>\n

Despierto en la noche pero no est\u00e1 debido a usted. <\/span>
\nOh, s\u00ed. Despierto en la noche, pero no est\u00e1 seguramente debido a usted. <\/span>
\nSoy el escuchar justo la grieta del yeso y el impulso del <\/span>
\nreloj en el cuarto del individuo siguiente.<\/span><\/p>\n

Which translated back to this:<\/p>\n

Wide-awake at night but it is not due to you. <\/span>
\nOh, yes. Wide-awake at night, but it is not surely due to you. <\/span>
\nI am right to listen the crack of plaster and the impulse of the clock <\/span>
\nin the quarter of the following individual.<\/span><\/p>\n

[Okay, okay. I know <\/span>this smacks of being a cheap shot to not have to write anything. So?<\/span>]<\/p>\n

Tomorrow or the next day I should be posting a song that was the result of grafting these lyrics to another short set of similarly themed lyrics (hey, that’s about 30% of my oeuvre, ya’ know?)… in the name of efficiency, as much as anything. I’m a database guy. We hate unnecessary redundancy…<\/p>\n\n

BLUE RECOLLECTION<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now the last thing I remember
\nYou were walking out the door
\nYes the last thing I remember
\nYou were walking out that door
\nMy hand reached for the bottle
\nthen there ain’t no more<\/p>\n

you’re just a blue recollection<\/span>
\nI swear that ain’t nothin’ new<\/span>
\nI been having trouble forgetting<\/span>
\nto remember that I don’t love you<\/span><\/p>\n
