Happy Birthday Joni. I have the deepest respect for her, some of her songs stay with me.

A case of you
Just before our love got lost you said I am as constant as a northern star And I said, constant in the darkness Where’s that at? If you want me I’ll be in the bar On the back of a cartoon coaster In the blue tv screen light I drew a map of canada Oh canada And your face sketched on it twice Oh you are in my blood like holy wine Oh and you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet Oh I could drink a case of you I could drink a case of you darling And I would still be on my feet Oh I’d still be on my feet Oh I am a lonely painter I live in a box of paints I’m frightened by the devil And I’m drawn to those ones that ain’t afraid I remember that time that you told me, you said Love is touching souls Surely you touched mine Cause part of you pours out of me In these lines from time to time Oh you are in my blood like holy wine And you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet Oh I could drink a case of you I could drink a case of you darling Still I’d be on my feet And still be on my feet I met a woman She had a mouth like yours She knew your life She knew your devils and your deeds And she said Color go to him, stay with him if you can Oh but be prepared to bleed Oh but you are in my blood you’re my holy wine Oh and you taste so bitter, bitter and so sweet Oh I could drink a case of you darling Still I’d be on my feet I’d still be on my feet

  My all-time favorite, with my favorite line: THE LAST TIME I SAW RICHARD ("Miles of Aisles" live version) The last time I saw Richard was Detroit in '68, And he told me all romantics meet the same fate someday Cynical and drunk and boring someone in some dark cafe "You laugh," he said to me, "You think you're immune, Go look at your eyes, they're full of moon. You like roses and kisses and pretty men to tell you All those pretty lies, pretty lies. When you gonna realise they're only pretty lies? Only pretty lies, they're just pretty lies." He put a quarter in the Wurlitzer, and he pushed Three buttons and the thing began to whirr And a bar maid came by in fishnet stockings and a bow tie And she said, "Drink up now it's gettin' on time to close." "Richard, you haven't really changed," I said It's just that now you're romanticizing some pain that's in your head. You got tombs in your eyes, but the songs You punched are dreaming. Listen, they sing of love so sweet, love so sweet. When you gonna get yourself back on your feet? Oh and love can be so sweet. Don't you know that love can be so sweet?" Richard got married to a figure skater And he bought her a dishwasher and a coffee percolator And he drinks at home now most nights with the TV on And all the house lights left up bright I'm gonna blow this damn candle out I don't want Nobody comin' over to my table I got nothing to talk to anybody about All good dreamers pass this way some day Hidin' behind bottles in dark cafes Dark cafes Only a dark cocoon before I get my gorgeous wings And fly away Only a phase, these dark cafe days

I have all the early ones, and the '80s-present ones. I'm missing the '70s transitional ones before Mingus (which I LOVE). Which should I get next: "Hissing of Summer Lawns" or "Don Juan's Restless Daughter"?

Do I have Court & Spark?  Are you high?   *singing loudly, wishing I had an army of saxophonists in my room* He was sittin in the lounge of the Empire Hotel He was drinking for diversion, he was thinking for himself...

The only one of her '80s albums I had was Chalk Mark in a Rain Storm, which I didn't care for. I think I sold it at a used CD place. I'm thinking of getting Wild Things Run Fast, though...it sounds good, from what I've heard of it.

Here are the GPPH lyrics from jonimitchell.com - a certain naughty bird ate the booklet. GOODBYE PORK PIE HAT words by Joni Mitchell music by Charles Mingus When Charlie speaks of Lester You know someone great has gone The sweetest swinging music man Had a Porkie Pig hat on A bright star In a dark age When the bandstands had a thousand ways Of refusing a black man admission Black musician In those days they put him in an Underdog position Cellars and chittlins' When Lester took him a wife Arm and arm went black and white And some saw red And drove them from their hotel bed Love is never easy It's short of the hope we have for happiness Bright and sweet Love is never easy street! Now we are black and white Embracing out in the lunatic New York night It's very unlikely we'll be driven out of town Or be hung in a tree That's unlikely! Tonight these crowds Are happy and loud Children are up dancing in the streets In the sticky middle of the night Summer serenade Of taxi horns and fun arcades Where right or wrong Under neon Every feeling goes on! For you and me The sidewalk is a history book And a circus Dangerous clowns Balancing dreadful and wonderful perceptions They have been handed Day by day Generations on down We came up from the subway On the music midnight makes To Charlie's bass and Lester's saxophone In taxi horns and brakes Now Charlie's down in Mexico With the healers So the sidewalk leads us with music To two little dancers Dancing outside a black bar There's a sign up on the awning It says "Pork Pie Hat Bar" And there's black babies dancing... Tonight!
