My Place No consulation about love Watch your track record if you talk The line runs through the other side as if the world was flat You can make poetry as well as all is the same There I have been, and there you are not and do not go Wash your dishes To be young is to wring your heart just like a cloth The good heart Sure, it wakes with the odds
