Loving an old bachelor is always a no-win situation, and you come to terms with that early on, or you go away.

Bachelor Boy
When I was young my father said
Son I have something to say
And what he told me Ill never forget
Until my dyin day.
He said son you are a bachelor boy
And thats the way to stay.
Son, you be a bachelor boy until your dyin day
When I was sixteen I fell in love
With a girl as sweet as could be.
But I rememberd just in time,
What my daddy said to me.
He said son you are a bachelor boy
And thats the way to stay.
Son, you be a bachelor boy until your dyin day
As time goes by I propably will
Meet a girl and fall in love
Then Ill get married have a wife and a child
And theyll be my turtle doves.
But until then Ill be a bachelor boy and thats the way Ill stay,
Happy to be a bachelor boy,
Until my dyin day.
But until then Ill be a bachelor boy and thats the way Ill stay,
Happy to be a bachelor boy,
Until my dyin day.

Strange Voodoo
How can I love you boy when you dont even love yourself?
Im useless now as I have always been
Just like some worthless love song dying on the radio
We talk in circles til we dont know what we mean
No happy ever after, no big dark man
Aint no perfect situation, cant you understand
Loving you is some strange voodoo
Loving you is some strange voodoo
How can I help you boy when I can barely help myself?
Im useless now as I have always been
Your lying eyes, your thieving hands, youre such a rogue at times
But you will always be a part of me
No happy ever after, no big dark man
Aint no perfect situation, aint no master plan
Loving you is some strange voodoo
Loving you I keep loving you yes I do
Loving you is some strange voodoo
Loving you is some strange voodoo
No happy ever after, no big dark man, no
Aint no perfect situation, cant you understand
Loving you is some strange voodoo
Loving you I keep loving you yes I do
Loving you is some strange voodoo
Loving you is some strange voodoo
Loving you
Loving you
Loving you

I don't want to talk in terms of miracles. I think this is a very serious situation. But I do want to talk in terms of Bush becoming a man of the hour, and I think this is way to do it.

Cant Stop Loving You
So youre leaving
In the morning
On the early train
But I could say everythings alright
And I could pretend and say goodbye
Got your ticket
Got your suitcase
Got your leaving smile
Oh, I could say thats the way it goes
And I could pretend and you wont know
That I was lying
Because I cant stop loving you
No, I cant stop loving you
No, I wont stop loving you
Why should i
We took a taxi
To the station
Not a word was said
And I saw you walk across the road
For maybe the last time, I dont know
Feeling humble
Heard a rumble
On the railway track
And when I hear the whistle blow
I walk away and you wont know
That ill be crying
Because I cant stop loving you
No, I cant stop loving you
No, I wont stop loving you
Why should i
Even try
Ill always be here by your side (why why why)
I never wanted to say goodbye
Im always here if you change, change your mind
So your leaving
In the morning
On the early train
But I could say everythings alright
And I could pretend and say goodbye
But that would be lying,no
Because I cant stop loving you
(cant stop loving you)
No, I cant stop loving you
(I wont stop loving you)
No, I wont stop loving you
Why should I even try
Because I cant stop loving you
(cant stop loving you)
No, I cant stop loving you
(thats all I can do)
No, I wont stop loving you
Why should i
(why should I)
Why should i
(tell me why)
Why should I even try

(That's What You Get) For Lovin' Me
That's what you get for loving me
That's what you get for loving me
Everything we had is gone, you can see
That's what you get for loving me
Now don't you shed a tear for me
I ain't the love you thought I'd be
I've had a hundred just like you
But don't be blue I'll have a thousand before I'm through
That's what you get for loving me
That's what you get for loving me
Everything we had is gone, you can see
That's what you get for loving me
Now there you go, you're cryin' again
You should have known how things would end
But then some day when your poor heart is on the mend
I just might pass this way again
That's what you get for loving me
That's what you get for loving me
Everything we had is gone, you can see
That's what you get for loving me
That's what you get for loving me
That's what you get for loving me
Everything we had is gone, you can see
That's what you get for loving me

Got So Used To Loving You
(ronnie scott/steve wolfe)
Producers for bonnie: david mackay, ronnie scott, steve wolfe
Hey, yeah, yeah
Waking in the early morning
Thinking of you softly
From the way my heart is hurting
You might as well have shot me
Shot me
Falling out of heavens highway
Landing in the ocean
Drowning in a sea of heartache
I swear on my devotion
To you
I got so used to loving you baby
Got so used to having you round me
I got so used to loving you baby
And baby I cant let go
I got so used to loving you baby
Got so used to touching you honey
Got so used to loving you baby
And baby I cant let go
Waking in the early morning
Thinking of your magic
Whyd you have to disappear boy?
Dont you know its tragic
Baby its tragic
I got so used to loving you baby
Got so used to having you round me
Got so used to loving you baby
And baby I cant let go
Oh, Im loving you baby
I got so used to touching you honey
I got so used to loving you baby
And baby I cant let go
Oh, Im loving you baby
I got so used to touching you honey
Oh-oh, Im loving you baby
And baby I cant let go
I got so used to touching you baby
I got so used to loving you honey
I got so used to loving you baby
And baby I cant let go

Reed College required a thesis for a Bachelor's degree. Normally a Bachelor's is sort of like being stamped 'Prime US Beef.' They just walk you through, hand out the diplomas and you fill in your name later on.

Ill Be A Bachelor till I Die
Written and sung by hank williams
(d) Ill take you to the picture show and babe Ill hold your hand,
Ill sit up in your parlor, let you cool me with your (d7) fan,
Ill (g) listen to your troubles and (d) pet you when you cry, but get
That marryin out of your head, Ill be a (a7) bachelor til I (d) die.
I dont mind honky tonkin round if that will bring you fun,
But somehow I cant undersdtand how one and one make one,
I like to cuddle near you and listen to you lie,
But get that marryin out of your head, Ill be a bachelor til I die.
Now if you want a helpmate youre wastin lots of time,
cause Im afraid of church bells, how they scare me when they chime,
Ive seen those married people just up and say goodbye,
So get that marryin out of your head, Ill be a bachelor til I die.
This freedoms mighty precious in this land of liberty,
Ive seen what matrimony done to better men than me,
I dont mind keepin company with the apple of my eye,
But keep that marryin out of your head, Ill be a bachelor til I die.

The Married Man
Reservist of the Line
The bachelor 'e fights for one
As joyful as can be;
But the married man don't call it fun,
Because 'e fights for three --
For 'Im an' 'Er an' It
(An' Two an' One make Three)
'E wants to finish 'is little bit,
An' e' wants to go 'ome to is tea!
The bachelor pokes up 'is 'ead
To see if you are gone;
But the married man lies down instead,
An' waits till the sights come on,
For 'im an' 'Er an' a hit
(Direct or recochee)
'E wants to finish 'is little bit,
An' 'e wants to go 'ome to 'is tea.
The bachelor will miss you clear
To fight another day;
But the married man, 'e says "No fear!"
'E wants you out of the way
Of 'Im an' 'Er an' It
(An' 'is road to 'is farm or the sea),
'E wants to finish 'is little bit,
An' 'e wants to go 'ome to 'is tea.
The bachelor 'e fights 'is fight
An' streches out an' snores;
But the married man sits up all night --
For 'e don't like out-o'-doors.
'E'll strain an' listen an' peer
An' give the first alarm--
For the sake o' the breathin' 'e's used to 'ear,
An' the 'ead on the thick of 'is arm.
The bachelor may risk 'is 'ide
To 'elp you when you're downed;
But the married man will wait beside
Till the ambulance comes round.
'E'll take your 'ome address
An' all you've time to say,
Or if 'e sees there's 'ope, 'e'll press
Your art'ry 'alf the day --
For 'Im an' 'Er an' It
(An' One from Three leaves Two),
For 'e knows you wanted to finish your bit,
An' 'e knows 'oo's wantin' you.
Yes, 'Im an' 'Er an' It
(Our 'only One in Three),
We're all of us anxious to finish our bit,
An' we want to get 'ome to our tea!
Yes, It an' 'Er an' 'Im,
Which often makes me think
The married man must sink or swim
An' -- 'e can't afford to sink!
Oh, 'Im an' It an' 'Er
Since Adam an' Eve began!
So I'd rather fight with the bacheler
An' be nursed by the married man!

Ain't That Lovin' You Baby
I could ride around the world in an old oxcart
And never let another girl thrill my heart
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you so?
I could meet a hundred girls and have loads of fun
My huggin' and my kissin' belong to just one
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you so?
If you gave me nine lives like a tommy cat
I'd give 'em all to you and never take one back
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you so?
I'm putting on my Sunday suit and Im goin' downtown
But Ill be kissin' your lips before the sun goes down
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you so?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you so?

On Their Own Terms
On their own terms,
People have a right to do and choose...
As they please.
This should not lead to an argument.
However...
When those terms and choices one chooses,
At the crossing over a threshold into someone's home...
Anyone believing they should be treated,
Based upon their own terms...
Should excuse themselves immediately.
Before they are asked to leave.
Thus making the keeping of their own terms,
An issue not needing to be debated.

Age Matters Less
Age matters less
When on odd situation you may suddenly face
The experience may show you the way out
Possibly remove the fear and clear the rout
We, the poets, create a drama
Pain, agony, misery and trauma
Ultimately create the scene of happiness
If situation demands it in such case
But do we feel part and suffer?
What more have we to offer?
Only sweet words or some hidden message
I think way out with smooth passage
People may think of some angles
Sometimes may be troubled by triangles
But what else can be done to assuage the feelings?
When there is hatred all around and urge for wanton killing
Certainly poetic skill can come to rescue
People may think fresh and overview
As sun appears over morning dews
What a show to present for quite few!
Early risers may witness it
Think of divine spirit and greet
Ultimately we too are of same origin
Why not forget everything and close in
I shall know then the gradual change
We may come to terms and manage
Ready to inscribe on golden page
Despite gloom scene and hot chase

I think in terms of family, in terms of relationships, in terms of work, competition to be the favorite, to be the noticed, to be the one - I don't know if it exists for all personalities, but I know for sure it did with me.

Tender Situation
[studio version appears on "pure guava"]
Wrote this song called "tender situation",
And it somehow just put everything back together
State this ache as the final break
Tender situation - create a good illusion
Feel the grip of your salvation
This is indeed a tender situation
Make a move man, state your case
Taste the waste man, taste the waste
What is your place in my glorification
This is indeed a tender situation
Get off the pot man, shake and bake
Taste the waste boy, taste the waste
Pump it up or stray from that old station
This is indeed a tender situation
Tender situation, tender situation, tender situation
[repeat all]
