Dead Flowers
May 27, 2006 – 6:07 pm
Well, when youre sitting there
In your silk upholstered chair
Talking to some rich folks that you know
Well I hope you wont see me
In my ragged company
You know I could never be aloneTake me down little susie, take me down
I know you think youre the queen of the underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I wont forget to put roses on your graveWell, when youre sitting back
In your rose pink cadillac
Making bets on kentucky derby day
Ill be in my basement room
With a needle and a spoon
And another girl to take my pain awayTake me down little susie, take me down
I know you think youre the queen of the underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I wont forget to put roses on your graveTake me down little susie, take me down
I know you think youre the queen of the underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the us mail
Say it with dead flowers at my wedding
And I wont forget to put roses on your grave
No I wont forget to put roses on your grave

That is depressing - the song, not the flowers. On a more upbeat note, I remember the beautiful flowers your friends brought that time a bunch of Johnnies flew through here on the way to some big event (can’t remember what the event was, but I remember a content, warm feeling in my heart after everyone left - a feeling that arose from knowing that you had such a group of friends.)

this is what it’s all about old dwight - sex, drugs, and aged floral arrangements (very pretty photos, by the way.) Personally, I lprefer the Stones version of this song. Have you seen the Big Lebowski? The Stones version chauffeurs the credits. Have you met Townes, my son? He’s named after the late great. Hopefully my boy won’t wallow in all that sadness and just embibe the beauty ;)

Yeah… I actually put it there because of the end of Big Lebowski… I uh… didn’t really pay attention to what the song said until my mom said it was depressing…
My auto-magical track name grabber gives Townes Van Zandt credit for the Big Lebowski credits, I just assumed that he did it.
I don’t think I’ve met your son.
