Baby, if I had a matchstick
for every time we fight,
I would have a lot of matches
but I would not have a light.

Baby, you make me so happy,
and then you bring me down.
I feel just like a king, babe,
and then you hide my crown.

I used to have a book, babe,
where I could read about myself.
I could not find you in there,
so I keep it on the shelf.

If I had a million dollars
I would give it all to you.
If you loaned some back to me, babe,
I would pay you interest too.

Baby, let's go to the country,
we can ride our ponies there.
You can ride my mellow stallion,
I will ride your golden mare.

Far away from all the troubles
that make this city shine,
with the moon and stars above us,
I'll be yours and you'll be mine.
Regular blues.

alternative title could be a ´ gnawing uncomfortability blues ´ , but that would not be very lyrical . There´s a lots of things in this that feel like a pebble in a shoe . And there´s something that compels to read it over and over - i quess this just pictures a relationship in a too true way
