A song about saying one thing and meaning another.

You (hopefully) can tell this is NOT autobiographical because it's about a sleezball. Not that there's anything wrong with that, as Sienfeld would say.

Dave Bell (Blue Attitude) played guitar. I played bass and sang. Like the singers (me) who sing my songs, for each drummer I also imagine a character (if you know what I mean). This drummer just got new toms and really wanted to show them off. As for bass, it's always me –who is, I hear, quite the character too.

I Wouldn't But I Want To
[If all of our thoughts could be read, we'd hear both what's said and what's meant. Read the quotations as what was spoken.]

Satisfied that the time is right, and the tumblers fall in place.
There is nothing holding me to this tired life, and I could use more space.
The wavy mountain lines that are calling me, they seem to know my soul.
So "I must turn you down cuz I'm headin' out of town. So now I guess I'll go."

I wouldn't but "I want to." You know I need to think this through.
"It's like I said I want to," but I wouldn't want to with you.

"You can see that I'm running late, and my pickup truck is packed.
So forgive me if I bounce. We can call it fate.
Our deck right now is stacked.
There's a storm on its way and my wipers barely work
so I need to beat the rain.
It could've been great fun, but I really gottra run.
We'll try again someday."

Satisfied that the time is right, and the tumblers fall in place.
There's a life I need to live where I'm free to just be me,
and I could use more space.
The trees that line the path to the big sky up ahead are pulling me along.
Knowing where I'd be if I let her get to me, I knew I wasn't wrong.

I wouldn't but "I want to." I'm so glad I thought that through.
It's like I told her, "I want to," but thought, I wouldn't with you.
