An RHCP love song

It seems it is not an original idea but I get all starry eyed and dreamy when I hear a certain Red Hot Chili Peppers song... I think it makes a perfect declaration of love and I wait by my window every night for Prince Charming to arrive and serenade me with it. I have a weakness for musical guys (not that I have much musical ability to offer back)... it's even on my top10 list of Nice-To-Have features of my perfect man. :) I girl can hope at least! I think it is about the ability to create something beautiful.

Of course the tall mysterious deep thinking artistic type must feature in most girls fantasies at one time or another right? I had (lets just refer this as to past tense for now) a gloriously awkward tongue-tied-and-blushing crush on a boy in my class at one time, long hair, part of a band, tall and rugged (read:probably scruffy) He played bass guitar and was (most likely) not really interested in me and most likely unsuitable... oh but I was starry eyed over him, trying hard not to stare, trying hard not to be overjoyed when he deigned to attend class. He wasn't single (and for the record neither was I...) but in a purely paperback-novel, impractical sense I was deeply, miserably besotted... like a teenager.

Moving along... if I can't find a man to dedicate this song to me, I will find a man who eventually I will want to sing it to... I will learn to play it and sing it to my husband on our wedding day (another not original idea, I know)

I have a scary deep singing voice anyway... terribly sexy I know,

Hard to Concentrate

Hustle Bustle
And so much muscle
Our cells about to separate
Now I find it hard to concentrate
And temporary, this cash and carry
I’m stepping up to indicate
The time has come to deviate and

All I want is for you to be happy
And take this moment to make you my family
And finally you have found something perfect
And finally you have found…

Death defying, this mess I’m buying
It’s raining down with love and hate
Now I find it hard to motivate
And estuary is blessed but scary
Our hearts about to palpitate
And I’m not about to hesitate

And want to treasure the rest of your days here
And give you pleasure in so many ways, dear
And finally you have found something perfect
And finally you have found…
Here we go.

Do you want me to show up for duty?
And serve this woman and honor her beauty?
And finally you have found something perfect
And finally you have found... yourself
With me...
Will you... agree... to take this man... into your world..
And now... we are as one...


My lone ranger,
The heat exchanger
Is living in this figure 8
Now I’ll do my best to recreate.
And Sweet precision.
And soft collision
Our hearts about to palpitate
Now I find it hard to separate.

And all I want is for you to be happy
And take this woman and make you my family
And finally you have found someone perfect
And finally you have found

All I want is for you to be happy
And take this woman and make you my family
And finally you have found someone perfect
And finally you have found…
Yourself.



...sigh... to find myself...

I always thought that sing was about someone giving their child away at their wedding... it's a beautiful song though! My equivalent is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y45kLVFvukE
