I thought only guys liked doing that first thing in the morning?

No.

Thanks David, you've polluted my mind. I can't ever take this song seriously anymore now.

Well I know you'd like to come away
But baby, you can't come

Morning, noon and night.

Get a grip.

Ha! My libido is quite out of control. I'm so lucky that way.
Stiff wind up my pant leg will do it everytime.

Hope you got the "get a grip" remark. Grins.

Step into the velvet of the morning
Let yourself lay back within your dreams

Another one of my favorite simple but astute Stevie moments from this song: "Heartbreak of the moment is not endless."

Bwahahhahaha! Brilliant stuff.

I'm with David on this -- the final few lines of Beauty and the Best always get me. And a lot of Desert Angel too.

But my all time favourite?

"But honestly, they'll probably be wheeling me out onstage in a wheelchair with rhinestones and raven feathers hot-glued to it. You know me -- it has to be fabulous...So, if you're in the Haight 10 years from now and a blur of feathers and rhinestones whizzes past you on a rocket-powered wheelchair and someone goes, 'What was that?' you can say, 'Oh, that's Stevie.' "

Uhm, just to try to keep things "accurate" or whatever the word is, I believe she was quoting Shakespeare there.

(Or are you being sarcastic? I'm kinda clueless about when people are being sarcastic in here sometimes. )

I'd like to see critical analyses of that aspect of her art, to bring the erogenous zone to the center, as it were--similar to the way Camille Paglia strongly misread Emily Dickinson & restored Emily's vampirism, voyeurism, lesbianism & fetishism. Stevie is our modern-day DICKinson, I believe.

Uhmm - check out "Gate and Garden" sometime, if you haven't already . . . .

Wake up in the morning
See your sunrise- loves- to go down
Lousy lovers- pick their prey



As for profound statement

You're sayin' I'm fragile, I try not to be
I search only for something I can't see

I have my own life and I am stronger than you know.....

I will always and forever maintain those lines are a dig at Lindsey.
