Nietzsche sez...

"When a man is in love he endures more than at other times; he submits to everything."
Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900)

Everything is new and everything is you

I used to think that was sensible
It makes the truth even more incomprehensible
'Cause everything is new
And everything is you

And all I've learned has overturned
What can I do...

I think I quoted this song a year or more ago, but a different part.
ABBA, Lay All Your Love on Me

hot and cold fever and a cool cool sweat


Read Crazy Little Thing Called Love lyrics
This thing called love I just can't handle it
This thing called love I must get 'round to it
I ain't ready
Crazy little thing called love
This (this thing) called love (called love)

It cries like a baby
In a cradle all night
It swings (woo woo)
It jives (woo woo)
It shakes all over like a jelly fish,
I kinda like it
Crazy little thing called love

There goes my baby
She knows how to rock'n'roll
She drives me crazy
She gives me hot and cold fever
Then she leaves me in a cool cool sweat

I gotta be cool relax, get hip
Get on my tracks
Take a back seat, hitch-hike
And take a long ride on my motor bike
Until I'm ready (ready Freddie)
Crazy little thing called love

This thing called love I just can't handle it
This thing called love I must get 'round to it
I ain't ready
Crazy little thing called love

My life depends on your touch


The song is "Soul Deep," by The Box Tops.

I used to have a Project Playlist link but it died. This is SO CLEVER!


Although I don't know much
I know I love you so much
My life depends on your touch
   And my love is a river runnin' soul deep
   Way down inside me it's-a soul deep
   It's too big to hide and it can't be denied
   My love is a river runnin' soul deep

I'd work myself to death for ya
Just to show I adore ya
Nothing I wouldn't do for ya
   Cause my love is a river runnin' soul deep
   Way down inside me it's-a soul deep
   It's too big to hide and it can't be denied
   My love is a river runnin' soul deep

All I ever, ever hope to be
Depends on your love for me
Baby believe me
If you should leave me
I'd be nothin' but an empty shell
I know darn well, I can tell, now

I don't know much
I know I love you so much
My life depends on your touch
   And my love is a river runnin' soul deep
   Way down inside me it's-a soul deep
   It's too big to hide and it can't be denied
   My love is a river runnin' soul deep

Wrapped around my heart, refusing to unwind



Tonight I'm gonna break away
Just you wait and see
I've never been imprisoned by
A faded memory

Just when I think I'm over her
This broken heart will mend
I hear her name and I have to cry
The tears come down again

It happens all the time
This crazy love of mine
Wraps around my heart
Refusing to unwind
Ooh-ooh, crazy love, ah...


Count the stars in the southern sky
That fall without a sound
And then pretend that you can't hear
These teardrops coming down

Tonight I'm gonna break away
Just you wait and see
I've never been imprisoned by
A faded memory

Poco recorded it in 1979.
I think it was written by Rusty Young, of Poco.
