Joe Jackson Song of the Day!

Well it's September. The Seasons are on the verge of change from Summer to Fall. Oddly, this is the time of the year that always strikes me as the perfect time to break out some Joe Jackson records out. Jackson of course is one of the greatest songwriters of my time. For wise advice in love and heartbreak check out this cat's tunes!

And yes, sometimes I find myself listening to his songs when they coincidentally seem to draw a parallel to what I am going through at the time. Man's prophetic.



What the hell is wrong with you tonight?
I can't seem to say or do the right thing
Wanted to be sure you're feeling right
Wanted to be sure we want the same thing

She said, I can't believe it
You can't, possibly mean it
Don't we, all want the same thing
Don't we
Well, who said anything about love?

No, not love she said
Don't you know that it's different for girls?
No, not love she said

I know, a lot of things that you don't
You wanna hear some?
She said, just give me something
Anything
Well give me all you got but not love

-Different for girls 1979
