Heh, Nancy ain't pushing 44 either anymore.

It's a shame that she is apparently very protective of her copyright - almost impossible to find lyrics on line. She started years ago on CBC radio, doing a satirical music bit on every Sunday Morning.

I've seen her in concert; her music ranges from homespun stuff you can relate to, like "Stickers on Fruit" (you can imagine) to an homage to social workers "Mrs Linda! ... and another social worker burns out") to tributes to the disappeared in Latin America.

Kinda like what Leonard might have done if he were a woman. ;)

Janey just perfect for Rose

LOL Janey, he never will bring my groceries in... but I wish SOMEONE would! ( come to that wish i was pushing 44 lol)
xx

(I forget how the tune goes, but the site where I found the lyrics says:
if you hum along to the tune of “Famous Blue Raincoat” you’ll be in the right ballpark)


I was listening to music as I swept the kitchen floor.
I was needing a shampoo and I was pushing 44.
And I had one of those flashes that hits you now and then
About experience manqué and certain sadly missing men.
And I realized in horror as I stroked my double chin,
Leonard Cohen’s never gonna bring my groceries in!

I’ve a husband and a baby, there’s another on the way.
And, like Leonard, I am aching in the place I used to play.
But really, I’m enjoying all this domesticity.
Hey, I never have to deal with Warren Beatty’s vanity.
But there is one thing I regret, and my regret is genuine.
Leonard Cohen’s never gonna bring my groceries in.

Oh Leonard and me, together we’d be great.
Strumming our guitars and singing songs while it got late!
(Well, not TOO late, these days I kind of fold about eleven.
But for a little while it would be heaven, heaven, heaven.)
Oh, Leonard and me, we’d be so decadent.
We’d look at all those bottles, wonder where the wine all went.
(Well frankly I can’t drink it anymore, my head can’t take it.
But I know me and Leonard we could make it, make it.)

But got sidetracked.
