Life in a Nutshell- Barenaked Ladies, Rock Spectacle's version, particularly, has been a favorite of mine and [profile] quiet_elegance's for quite a long time. Particularly after I told him the story about my Barbies getting it on during my childhood. The lyrics are awesome all by themselves, but to music is a thing of such sweet beauty. It was the first track that came up on my BNL playlist this morning and it fits my mood as both the focus and the focuser (is that even a word?!). It feels so good to have a sudden decrease in my stress levels. I'm entirely reveling in the energy and affections of my chosen family, [profile] quiet_elegance's career path seems so bright I am absolutely wearing shades.  Twirls!
"Life In A Nutshell"

When she was three
Her Barbies always did it on the first date
Now she's with me,
There's never any need for them to demonstrate

She's like a baby, I'm like a cat;
When we are happy, we both get fat and still
It's never enough, It's never enough,
It's never enough

[Chorus]
But I don't tend to worry 'bout the things that other people say
And I'm learning that I wouldn't want it any other way
Call me crazy but it really doesn't matter
All that matters to me is she

Her life in a nutshell
No way would she want it to change me
It's not that easy 'cause
My time is often decided for me
For me


She memorized every pencil crayon color in the box
Her blue-green eyes complement the burnt sienna in her locks
She's at the movies, I'm on the phone;
When we're separated, we're never alone, but still
It's never enough, It's never enough,
No it's never enough

[Chorus]

I fell down with no one there to catch me from falling
Then she came 'round
And only her tenderness stopped me from bawling my eyes out
I'm OK, and that's why

Her life in a nutshell
No way would she want it to change me
It's not that easy 'cause
My time is often decided for me
For me

[Chorus]

So I should tell you some of the escapades my Barbies got up to, one of these days, eh? [chuckle]

Woah, odd. I was *just* telling J about these lyrics a couple of days before you made this post. He said "awww"
