Common Poet (original#84) Brad Campbell

Song about having a positive body image-I posted pictures of the mink Islands near where I live as a analogy for our own body shapes-....

She walks up to her man says-you've been fooling today
I got a picture here-shows you strayed
4th on the left face up; thats you what do you say?
Photo shop my ass-thats you what do you say?

Chorus:
She's a common poet-shaking her hips
She winks-its never art if you have to explain it
No more swimming up the waterfall
No more squeezing in your box
No more up and down 'cause you want me too
No more hurt, no more want

Dressed in all her splendor-waddling down the street
Looks like two dogs fighting-under a blanket on a beach
Says she's going down to Wal-Mart-goona buy a bikini today
If they make it my size-I'm allowed to wear it she says

(play Chorus)

You are truly brother to those rocks and the water and wind that shaped them....lovely, lovely images and your usualy fabulous songwriting. LOL on "two dogs fighting under a blanket on the beach." You sound wonderful and I ove the pic of you at :54... you look like a graduate student. :) Also .... is that a cairn at 1:35? Such a lonely sentry....

Always remember that there is someone in Virginia who loves you, bro. Suze xx
