If you need somebody, call my name
If you want someone, you can do the same
If you want to keep something precious
You got to lock it up and throw away the key
If you want to hold onto your possession
Don't even think about me
If you love somebody
If you love someone
If you love somebody
If you love someone, set them free
Set them free
Set them free
Set them free
Set them free
If it's a mirror you want, just look into my eyes
Or a whipping boy, someone to despise
Or a prisoner in the dark
Tied up in chains you just can't see
Or a beast in a gilded cage
That's all some people ever want to be
If you love somebody
If you love someone
If you love somebody
If you love someone, set them free
Set them free
Set them free
Set them free
Set them free
You can't control an independent heart
Can't tear the one you love apart
Forever conditioned to believe that we can't live
We can't live here and be happy with less
So many riches, so many souls
Everything we see that we want to possess
If you need somebody, call my name
If you want someone, you can do the same
If you want to keep something precious
You got to lock it up and throw away the key
If you want to hold onto your possession
Don't even think about me
If you love somebody
If you love someone
If you love somebody
If you love someone set them free
Set them free
Set them free
Set them free
Set them free

what i meant was it's nice to see a guy make an effort to connect with his girlfriend on a level other than "we both like to watch tv" or something. it's not that easy to learn to play guitar well, or most instruments. [/QB]
Who says it's easy to get those tints just right? ;)

me and my brother always made up lyrics to songs when we were kids (I'm sure we weren't the only ones) and we used to say "Free, free, sex with me" to the tune of this song :o

Sting lyrics on the 9:30 chatboard. I didn't think it could get any worse…

That was really for the benefit of Sparx, is St. Louis the South to you then?

Hey, I just wanted to thank you all for the kind words and encouragement, and Mankie for the lyrics. I was not super stressing about this, but it was on my mind a little, so getting reassurance that i was donig the right thing helped. Sorta like Chicken Soup for the 930 Board Soul or something like that.

Please under no circumstances become overinvolved with the band. I have far too often had to deal with a boy/girlfriend who wants their soulmate to be the most prominent in the music (I mix bands) and to get all the attention. It is very annoying and ends up making you want to spite that person and drop them down in the mix.
That said, there are many things you can do to be helpful, go out together flyering for the gigs, help set up the tours, be involved but don't smother. Being a roadie gimp is good, the rest of the band will like if you bring the beer (if you are drinkers) and help get the cabinets and drums in. But don't then start walking over the rest of the stuff. After a show, be helpful but not overly critical, and don't go blaming others if it does sound like crap. Just be positive.
