I OUGHTA KNOW

I OUGHTA KNOWMy husband’s off on tour for a week and I’m home from work and sitting around doing nothing and Lucinda Williams has come on the player singing one of the most beautiful songs of sweet-aching forsakenness I ever heard, that winds its self around you like ‘a heavy blanket’. What an amazing song. Love Susie. x

Lonely Girls


Lonely girls, lonely girls

Lonely girls, lonely girls

Heavy blankets, heavy blankets, heavy blankets

Cover lonely girls

Sweet sad songs,

Sweet sad songs,

Sweet sad songs,

Sung by lonely girls

Pretty hairdos, pretty hairdos, pretty hairdos

Worn by lonely girls

Sparkly rhinestones, sparkly rhinestones,

sparkly rhinestones

Shine on lonely girls

I oughta know, I oughta know, I oughta know

About lonely girls

Lonely girls, lonely girls

Lonely girls, lonely girls
