From "Ladies' Man":
Why do you keep on trying to make a man of me
Couldn't you just love me like you love cocaine
Cocaine head games
Helga, I'm not mad at you; I'm mad at the dirt.

Joni's amazing I get chills from how good her lyrics are. Im taking my time with her albums so I havent heard them all yet because i think it will be a long time for I ever hear anything else like her, I've only heard Blue and Court and Spark and they are amazing. Think I'll get Hejira next.
All I Want:
I am on a lonely road and I am traveling
Looking for the key to set me free
Oh the jealousy, the greed is the unraveling
It's the unraveling
And it undoes all the joy that could be
I want to have fun, I want to shine like the sun
I want to be the one that you want to see
I want to knit you a sweater
Want to write you a love letter
I want to make you feel better
I want to make you feel free
I want to make you feel free

All along the ocean beaches, stares up empty at the sea.
Marcie - Joni Mitchell
Where are the footprints that danced on these beaches?
Song to a Seagull -Joni Mitchell
Woman Of Heart And Mind
I am a woman of heart and mind
With time on her hands
No child to raise
You come to me like a little boy
And I give you my scorn and my praise
You think I'm like your mother
Or another lover or your sister
Or the queen of your dreams
Or just another silly girl
When love makes a fool of me
After the rush when you come back down
You're always disappointed
Nothing seems to keep you high
Drive your b111cargains
Push your papers
Win your medals
beep your strangers
Don't it leave you on the empty side
I'm looking for affection and respect
A little passion
And you want stimulation-nothing more
That's what I think
But you know I'll try to be there for you
When your spirits start to sink
All this talk about holiness now
It must be the start of the latest style
Is it all books and words
Or do you really feel it?
Do you really laugh?
Do you really care?
Do you really smile
When you smile?
You criticize and you flatter
You imitate the best
And the rest you memorize
You know the times you impress me most
Are the times when you don't try
When you don't even try
Hejira:
Joni's best written album. The lyrics here are intelligent and poetic.
In the
War
of
Independence
Rock 'n' roll
rang sweet as
victory.

Rows and floes of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons evrywhere
Ive looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on evryone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
Ive looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
Its cloud illusions I recall
I really dont know clouds at all
Moons and junes and ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As evry fairy tale comes real
Ive looked at love that way
But now its just another show
You leave em laughing when you go
And if you care, dont let them know
Dont give yourself away
Ive looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
Its loves illusions I recall
I really dont know love at all
Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say I love you right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
Ive looked at life that way
But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say Ive changed
Well somethings lost, but somethings gained
In living evry day
Ive looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
Its lifes illusions I recall
I really dont know life at all
Ive looked at life from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
Its lifes illusions I recall
I really dont know life at all
I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It'sdepressing.

Thinking of the pleasure I'm gonna have
Watching your hairline recede, my vain darling
I am on a lonely road and I am
Traveling, traveling, traveling
Looking for something
What can it be?
Oh, the jealousy, the greed is the unraveling
It's the unraveling
And it undoes all the joy
That could be

From Little Green, the song about the baby she gave up for adoption:
Just a little green
Like the color when the spring is born
Therell be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow
Just a little green
Like the nights when the northern lights perform
Therell be icicles and birthday clothes
And sometimes therell be sorrow
And from A Case of You:
Oh you are in my blood like holy wine
Oh and you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you
I could drink a case of you darling
And I would still be on my feet
Oh Id still be on my feet
Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
Im frightened by the devil
And Im drawn to those ones that aint afraid
I remember that time that you told me, you said
Love is touching souls
Surely you touched mine
Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time

It always seems so righteous at the start. When there's so much laughter, when there's so much spark. When there's so much sweetness, in the dark.."
