A Sense of Doubt blog post #2940 - COOLSVILLE TRILOGY - RICKIE LEE JONES - Music Week 2023 #00
New plan for easy posts, one by one to catch up. Hello from March 16th. Nine days behind. But I did set a new record a few days ago with 15 days behind.
But I am working on it. I am recovered from being ill and have work better handled though I am about to slog into the final grading rodeo. Not too bad this time around as I don't have as many students as usual. Still, it's a slog.
So, expanding the usual once-a-week music thing that always drops on Mondays and doing a music feature every day in the one at a song category (literally called "Music-Song-by-Song") with simple posts (hey, one song! not a mix) and very little commentary or extra materials.

The song "Coolsville" and hence the trilogy came off the album named for the artist (known as eponymous): Rickie Lee Jones - 1979 album.
Coolsville
Song by Rickie Lee Jones
I and Braggar, and
Junior Lee
Well that's the way we always thought it would be
In the Winston lips of September, how we met
Decked out like aces, we'd beat anybody's bet
'Cause we was Coolsville
'Cause we was Coolsville
Well you stick it here
You stick it over there
But it never fits
And now a hungry night
you want more and more
And you chip in your little kiss
Well, I jumped all his jokers
But he trumped all my tricks
And I swear to God I
thought this one was smart enough to
Stick it into Coolsville
Yeah stick it into Coolsville
So now it's J and be,
and me, and that sounds close
But it ain't the same (well, that's okay)
Hot City don't hurt that much but everything feels the same
Well the real thing come and the real thing go
Well the real thing is back in town
Ask me if you want to know The way to Coolsville
(Well I hear you want to go back to Coolsville)
(Well come on honey, take you back to Coolsville)

Lyrics
Take a walk around
midnight in the City
Young Blood is hiding there somewhere
If your looking for something to do
There's always something happening there
Like I and Bragger, we
borrowed a coup today
Here come Pepe and she's got a friend in a Chevrolet
But she ain't running, she just walking a little slow,
and she ain't crying, she's just singin a little low...
"They say this city
will make you dirty, but you look alright,
you feel real pretty when he's holding you tight"
City will make you mean
But that's the make up on your face
Love will wash you clean in the nights disgrace.
Find a block where your
people can find you
Keep a third eye watching behind you
You never know when your making a memory
They will wish they were here together again, someday
Kids looking for
something to get into take a look
Two for the movie show
Three in the back row
Hold on tight!
Remember you might have
looked like cool twelve
But your fuse felt just like dynamite
City will make you dirty, but you look alright,
you feel real pretty when he's holding you tight
City will make you mean
But that's the make up on your face
Love will wash you clean in the night... dirty dirty dirt dirt...
Take a walk around
midnight in the City
Young Blood will find you there somewhere
and if your looking for something to do
There's always something happening there
Something's happening there oooh ooh ooooh
Something's happening there hey hey hey... looky here y'all

Lyrics
How come he don't come
and PLP with me
Down at the meter no more?
And how come he turn off the TV?
And he hang that sign on the door?
We call and we call
"How come?" we say
Hey, what could make a boy behave this way?
So he has learnt all of
the lines now
And every time, he don't stutter when he talks
It's true! It's true!
He sure has acquired this kinda cool
And inspired sorta jazz when he walks
Where's his jacket and his old blue jeans?
Well, this ain't healthy, it is some kinda clean
That means
Chuck E.'s in love
Chuck E.'s in love
Chuck E.'s in love
Chuck E.'s in love
I don't believe what
you're saying to me
This is something that I've got to see
Is he here?
I look in the poolhall
Well, is he here?
I look in the drugstore
Is he here?
No, he don't come here no more
I'll tell you what, I
saw him
He was sitting behind us down in the pantages
And whatever it is that he's got up his sleeve
Well, I hope it isn't contagious
What's her name?
Is that her there?
Oh, Christ, I think he's even combed his hair
Is that her?
Well, then what's her name?
Oh, it's never gonna be the same
But that's not her
I know what's wrong
'Cause Chuck E.'s in love
With the little girl singin' this song
Don't you know?
Chuck E.'s in love, yeah
yeah
Chuck E.'s in love
Chuck E.'s in love, my my
Chuck E.'s in
Chuck E.'s in love
Chuck E.'s in love
He's in love
Love with me

- Days ago = 2804 days ago
- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
