John Mayer is way too talented for his own good. And he puts on a pretty kick-ass show, for one dude with a guitar ... or three. What with Hooch's man making fun of the shrieking teenage girls by yelling shrilly right along with them but sounding more like an 80-year-old woman being accosted by a mugger, Cheech using his low manly thug voice to shout "I love you, John!", and Hooch and I alternately imitating 'Beer Boy' who thought he was at a Metallica concert or 'Nadia Comenici' who thought she was delighting the crowds with her graceful hand movements and pirouettes, last night was a blast. Add to that the groovin' keyboards, the blaring horns, and the funky drums, and I'll be jammin' my way into the New Year without a care ...
And since I'm still feeling the afterglow, here are my two favorite tunes from each of his CD's, "Room For Squares" and "Heavier Things." If you are 18 years old or younger, purchase "Room for Squares." More mature audiences will appreciate "Heavier Things." Me, I still waver between the two, so here you go:
I am on my best behavior
And there are times
I lose my worried mind?
Wait it out while I am someone else?
Colors change for no good reason
And words will go
From poetry to prose
I'm not myself?
Wait it out while I am someone else?
I always do for you
You're my saving grace?
You got this room for two
One thing I've left to do
Discover me
Discovering you
Your skin like porcelain
One pair of candy lips and
Your bubblegum tongue
We'll make it
Swimming a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break 'em
This is bound to be a while
Your body is a wonder
(I'll use my hands)
Your body is a wonderland
falls in your face
I love the shape you take when crawling
towards the pillowcase
You tell me where to go and
Though I might leave to find it
I'll never let your head hit the bed
Without my hand behind it
We'll make it
Swimming a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break 'em
This is bound to be a while
Your body is a wonder
(I'll use my hands)
Your body is a wonderland
You frustrate me
I know you're mine all mine all mine
But you look so good it hurts sometimes
Your body is a wonder
(I'll use my hands)
Your body is a wonderland
Your body is a wonderland
Your big imagination's playing its tricks on you
You think my up and leaving's something I'm gonna do
Feel my chest when I look at you...
Yeah, you've got my only heart
Yeah, you've got my only, only, heart
Your phone was really broken - I tried your number twice
And if you need confirmation, baby I understand
It's alright if you want me to tell you...
Yeah, you've got my only heart
Yeah, you've got my only, only, heart
I adore you but, there's a hole in the cup that should hold my love
(hold my love)
If you let me leave
I swear, I never will
You've got my only heart
Yeah, you've got my only heart
Yeah, you've got my only
Only heart
When you're not inside
And all of your things tell the sweetest story line
Tears on these sheets
And your footprints are down the hall
Tell me what I did
I can't find where the moment went wrong at all
I'll take back what I said
Just don't leave me alone here
It's cold baby
Come back to bed
Come back to bed
Come back to bed
Come back to bed
You know you're not a quick forgive
And I won't sleep through this
I survive on the breath
You are finished with
I'll take back what I said
Just don't leave me alone here
It's cold baby
Come back to bed
Come back to bed
Come back to bed
Come on come back to bed
Come back to bed...
Or the afternoon instead
But don't leave me
98.6 degrees of separation
From you baby
Come back to bed
Come back to bed
Come back to bed
Don't hold your love over my head
Don't hold your love over my head
Don't hold your love one more time around baby
Come on come back to bed
