I need an angry noisy nutty girl
To thump my brain and wreck my world
A beasty batty nasty wife
To wrench my guts and ruin my life
I’ll find a gal who hates my mama
And cultivate some melodrama
I’ll never wonder why I chose
Someone to blame for all my woes
I need a crazy rowdy messy man
Drummer for a two-bit band
A needy stinky nasty boozer
A meth head and a hopeless loser
I’ll find a guy who hates my mama
And cultivate some melodrama
I’ll never wonder why I chose
Someone to blame for all my woes

Things that made me want you
Are driving me insane
When I add up all the lovin’
Minus all the pain
I ain’t the type of gal
Who’s gonna grimace and complain
When I add up all the lovin’
Minus all the pain
Think I’ve had enough of standing
Lonesome in the rain
When I add up all the lovin’
Minus all the pain
I can see my future
Swirlin’ slowly down the drain
When I add up all the lovin’
Minus all the pain
You’re just a big ole puppy
I ain’t never gonna train
Time to add up all the lovin’
Minus all the pain

There’s no one here to carry on
If I stay out the whole night long
Or give a tinker’s damn if I don’t call
I’m livin’ like I wanted to
And doin’ things I wanna do
And nothin’ means a thing to me at all
—Kris Kristofferson, From the Bottle to the Bottom
I had a boring, stupid life
I had some kids; I had a wife
I had fuss; I had complain
I had a big ole ball and chain
Now the boys and me
We can all stay out till three
Cuz I’m free to be
The man I wanna be
Can’t be stuck at home at night
I got to roam; I got to fight
I need those dirty city lights
And all those wicked wet delights
Gonna burn the sheets
With every gal I see
Cuz I’m free to be
The man I wanna be
Now I’m stuck in this motel
Guess my plans didn’t go so well
Found lots of hurt and lots of smell
On my one way trip to hell
I got whiskey and tv
In a room that smells like pee
But I’m free to be
The man I wanna be

In headaches and in worry
Vaguely life leaks away,
And Time will have his fancy
To-morrow or to-day.
—W.H. Auden, As I Walked Out One Evening
Walking down the street
Going nowhere
Nothing to look forward to
Nobody to care
Big cloud of empty
Hanging in the air
Life is just
A rotten stupid
Maggot-breeding scam
I’m tired and I’m sick
Of everything I am
Can’t stagger through
Another dragging day
None of my plans
Ended up this way
Days bleed into weeks
And life drifts away
Life is just
A rotten stupid
Maggot-breeding scam
I’m tired and I’m sick
Of everything I am

I’m the same old trouble that you’ve always been through
So why don’t you love me like you used to do?
—Hank Williams
Tell me what I did
Tell me what I said
How did I get exiled
And banished from your bed?
Never had the guts to dream
Your love would come my way
As soon as I believed it
It melted all away
Our love was like an island
In an ocean full of sad
I was drowning when I met you
You were everything I had
The fool who said it’s better
To love and then to lose
Never loved on borrowed time
And lost someone like you
Tell me what to say
Tell me what to do
I’d do anything you want
To get back to me and you

I must have been mad
I never knew what I had
Until I threw it all away.
—Bob Dylan
I’ve walked away from love
And hurt a lovely girl
I’ve turned my back on everything
That matters in this world
I’ve walked away from love
When it still had room to grow
Where it might have taken us
I’ll never ever know
I’ve walked away from love
I’ve run and I have hid
It doesn’t really kill you
But it makes you wish it did
I’ve done a lot of stupid things
Someday I’ll make a list
But nothing hurts like giving up
The sweetest ever kiss

I fell head over heels
When I fell for you
I felt like the world
Had begun anew
I fell off a cliff
When I fell for you
I’m tattered and torn
And broken and bruised
I fell out of grace
When I fell for you
And I forgot all the things
That I thought I knew
The bottom fell out
When I fell for you
I don’t know who I am
Don’t know what to do
I fell on my face
When I fell for you
Now I’m down in a ditch
And I don’t like the view
I fell under your spell
When I fell for you
Must have been the Hemlock
In your witch’s brew

The girl I didn’t marry
The girl who loved me true
Was a precious little angel
Just like you
I had a good life
But I hadn’t figured out
Who I had to be
Or what I was about
She never ever knew
She couldn’t see
She fell in love
With the man I tried to be
That’s why I ran away
I couldn’t get locked in
Now I’ll never know
What we might have been
Now you wanna love me
That’s not a good plan
I still ain’t figured out
Who the hell I am

I don’t care she went away
I don’t care the kitchen smells
I can buy some paper plates
I can live on Taco Bell
I don’t care she went away
I don’t care that she’s gone
a man’s gotta be free
and I gotta be strong
I don’t care she went away
I don’t care that I’m alone
I ain’t about to cry
cuz I’m totally grown
I don’t care she went away
I don’t care I was wrong
time to drink some whisky
and play a sad song
