Book Reviews of You Get So Alone at Times That It Just Makes Sense
Book Review: Well you gassed her up, behind the wheel...
Summary: 5 Stars
...
With your arm around your sweet one in your Oldsmobile
Barrelin' down the boulevard
You're looking for the heart of Saturday night
You get paid on Friday, pockets are jinglin'
And you see the lights you get all tinglin'
'Cause you're cruisin' with a six
And you're looking for the heart of Saturday night
Then you comb your hair, shave your face
Tryin' to wipe out every trace
All the other days in the week you know that this'll be the Saturday
You're reachin' your peak
Stoppin' on the red, you're goin' on the green
'Cause tonight'll be like nothin' you've ever seen
And you're barrelin' down the boulevard
Lookin' for the heart of Saturday night
Tell me is it the crack of the poolballs, neon buzzin?
Telephone's ringin', it's your second cousin
Is it the barmaid that's smilin' from the corner of her eye?
Magic of the melancholy tear in your eye
Makes it kind of quiver down in the core
'Cause you're dreamin' of them Saturdays that came before
And now you're stumblin'
You're stumblin' onto the heart of Saturday night
You gassed her up and you're behind the wheel
With your arm around your sweet one in your Oldsmobile
Barrellin' down the boulevard
You're lookin' for the heart of Saturday night
Is the crack of the poolballs, neon buzzin?
Telephone's ringin', it's your second cousin
And the barmaid is smilin' from the corner of her eye
Magic of the melancholy tear in your eye
Makes it kind of special down in the core
And you're dreamin' of them Saturdays that came before
It's found you stumblin'
Stumblin' onto the heart of Saturday night
And you're stumblin'
Stumblin onto the heart of Saturday night
Once again, as always, Buk achieves perfection. Perhaps one of my most cherished collection amongst my many, many dogged, ragged Buk items. I can't do justice to this collection by trying to piece together a few ill-written words that try to capture the beauty accomplished by Buk, so I won't try. Just know that you're missing out if you haven't gotten this yet, and if you continue to pass it up. Get it now, and you'll realize that. Then, you'll finally be able to at least get some joy out of your solitude.
