1. It's not in the words that you told me, girl
It's not in the way you say you're mine, ooh
It's not in the way that you came back to me
It's not in the way that your love set me free
Hold the Line - Toto

2. Can you feel me tremble when we touch?
Can you feel the hand of fate
Reaching out to both of us
This love affair can't wait
I Can't Hold Back - Survivor

3. And if they stare
Just let them burn their eyes
On you moving.
And if they shout
Don't let it change a thing
That you're doing.

Good lovin' gone bad
And you believe it's too late
When you realize what you had

I feel happy inside
It's such a feelin' that my love
I can't hide
I can't hide
I can't hide

We'll walk upon the water
We'll rise above the mess

Don't have to worry `cause I’m here,
No need to suffer baby, I’m here.

You've got no one to blame for your unhappiness
You got yourself into your own mess

Accroches-toi a ton reve
Quand tu vois ton bateau partir
Quand tu sents -- ton coeur se briser

Promises in vain
Love that is real, but in disguise

No way! Really? I swear I do not remember that and I loved ELO BITD! I haven't heard this song except for commercials and sitcoms for so long I probably wouldn't have recognized it if you hadn't used the title in the lyrics (merci, Mlle. Hansen!), so I shouldn't be too surprised. I'll wager if I actually heard the whole song again I'd probably sing right along with the French and not even think about it.

I was thinking about finding an ELO Greatest Hits CD when they had an ELO segment on I Love the 70s day before yesterday. Now I may have to do that, just in the interests of science. Ha!

But, hell, it got me a JJCP, so it's all good........

Okay--does the guy from ELO sing for the Travelling Wilburys? I just remember hearing the song in my head, and that's the voice I heard.

Then the John Cougar song--I was singing it in my head with his voice, and I got to the line about "go to work" and it just continued "in some highrise and vacation down in the Gulf of Mexico" still in his voice, and I knew Pink Houses didn't fit the theme so it couldn't be right.

The voices in my head are leading me astray, I'm tellin' ya!

Jeff Lynne was in the WIlburys.

John Cougar... It took me forever to get Hurts So Good out of my head so I could get the title on that one. Then I laid in bed last night going crazy because I couldn't remember my favourite song of his ("okay, it was on Nothing Matters and What If It Did and it repeated the same thing over and over and had a great part with just drums.......") and, once it finally came to me, I fell asleep right away. Ha!

"Perth Amboy!"

(If this means nothing to you, I highly recommend James Thurber's "The Night the Bed Fell." Heck--read it anyway! It's hilarious.)

Ha! I have more Perth Amboy nights than not. Used to be a lot tougher before the internet, I still treasure my 1972 World Book encyclopedia set.

It must run in the family. Whenever my grandma or great aunt calls, I know it's going to be "what was the name of that movie where Norma Shearer is in love with Leslie Howard and he dies in the war?" or "how many wives of Henry VIII got their heads chopped off?".

My mom used to do the same thing with sports until I talked her into cable internet (she still does sometimes anyway, because she says it's easier to just call me).

Lucky you! My sister who lives near here makes my vagueness look amateurish, and hers has been like that since birth. We'll talk about things we did and she'll ask "Was I there?" She has seriously blanked out large parts of life! (We were the two of the sisters who were the National Merit Finalists, which says something about academia that can't possibly be good...)

ANYway, I've long been the person who would get the calls at 3 am (How do you spell "chihuahua"? ) but the advent of the internet has caused that to taper off, except from her. Like she called me when I was at a birthday party a few weeks ago and when I got home I called her back and told her what I had found from Google, and of course she hadn't considered checking the internet. We just look at each other and interject "Perth Amboy!" 50 billion times when we do our road trips because we blank out on stuff so frequently.

I just read today where heavy coffee consumption helps head off dementia, but you couldn't prove it by me...

When you can't remember something that you need to know for no other reason than it popped into your head and it bugs the shit out of you. Also being the go to person for everybody else when they get the syndrome.

Just substitute "Eureka!" like most normal people do. Only the terminally whack use "Perth Amboy!"

But Perth Amboy.......!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Perth Amboy! (Okay, it was Google...)

The story in the book was titled More Alarms at Night.
