Lover Be Kindly
I walk in a gutter love,
all up and down
Little bit of water's all it takes
to bring me down
I might not be here
next time you look around
so be kind to the swallow
hovering at your brow
If my enemies don't get me,
my friends 'll know how
Hey, lover, be kind
I'm too old to die
and too young to cry
Lover lover lover lover, love
Lover be kind
Why'd you give me your feelings
If you didn't want the same?
Forgive me if I'm feeble
but I'm rather new at your game
Now you ask for my number
to come to play
You'll have to buy me a phone
and write down the number babe
I won't be responsible
for letting you in again
Hey, lover, be kind
I'm too old to die
and too young to cry
Lover lover lover lover, love
Lover be kind
Is this a joke for the insane?
You call and you ask how I am
I've put my bubblegum away
I changed to a rhyme
I've got my bell around my neck
in case I go blind
Don't worry I'll get my head
out of your twine
if you'll please
get your cut throat off of my knife
Hey, lover, be kind
I'm too old to die
and too young to cry
Lover lover lover lover, love
Please don't be mine

For the first time, Janis will be giving her 5-day series "A Master Class In Artistry" during each of the Swannanoa Gathering weeks. Time of her classes is TBA; please check the website for more information. The 5 day class covers everything from the origins of artists to physicalization, songwriting for profit and not so much, performance, the need to be brave, how to survive as an artist in the modern world, and why bother. Points are illustrated with songs and playing as she takes us on a journey that begins with the first caveman to tell a story and continues through the myth of the artist as "crazy", the need for silence, and why she believes "art saves". Drawing on her 55 years of experience in the entertainment industry and her ten years with Stella Adler, presented with humor and grace, brutally honest, and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her students.
