Description:

Lyrics:
In Nashville, Tennesse I had my hysterectomyBut they went and left me with my ovaries.
I take all kinds of herbs coz the heat and sweat disturbs
Won't someone, somewhere take pity on me
Chorus..
I'm just a menopausal girl and my head is in a whirl
Every day is just another sweat
Menopause and mentalhealth have depleted my estrogen wealth
So now i can't remember what i'm trying to forget!
M-E-N-O-P, A-U-S and E is just drivin' me insane
I don't want to seem rude but i'm in an awful mood
I never want to see your face again!
Chorus
There's a blanket on the ground - i don't want that thing around -
A blanket is the last thing that i need!
One moment its a fan - the next a cardigan -
Won't someone show me how i should proceed
Chorus
I travel this life of toil almost always on the boil
Thinking of things i could do with an axe.
Hubbie is a louse so PMS means "Punish My Spouse"
And not for one moment is it safe to relax.
Chorus
... a few words recorded in the kitchen ;)

having lived with 2 menopausal women in my life...my mom and now my lovely bride....i sit and watch the beads of sweat suddenly appear from nowhere...and of course the flying dishes...i am told my sweet little grannie beaned my grampie with a hot baked potato during her time...and grannie was nominated for sainthood!
not for one moment is it safe to relax!!! so true.
I am trying to find a country band to play in now, this was such fun.
bless caroline for the joy and light she brings to my life!!
all my love my little scone.

drakonis
Gives a whole new raw meaning to pink and fluffy (with a rusty can-opener!) Wow, great Country backing... not something I would have expected from Fran's fingers... (no wonder he had to wash them)... and Caroline, you're in fine form, as always. I shall have to play this one for my spouse, she will get a sympathetic kick out of it! :-) Say hi to Peter for me... no no no... put down the frying pan first... there ya go...

BRILLIANT: (even first thing in the morning!):
1) Words!
2) Singing!
3) Guitar madness by Fran!
4) The last manic bit was the BEST!
caroline
it's a good thing you know what a pussycat i really am or you might be worried ;) it took simply ages to perfect the manic bit coz .. of course... i have noooo experience of that kind of thing at all :) - big loves my dear xoxox
I don't know how you come up with this stuff, but I'm glad you do! Great fun this!
Good call employing Fran on the git-fiddle!

Thanks, I'm laughing. I may sound wimpy, but there are places in my life where I would have been better off testing the waters!!!
guygrooves
song I have heard in a very very long time. I'm laughin so damn hard I can barely type. You would do well to post this all over the web it will certainly go viral. I can see it getting millions of hits on you tube with the right video behind it. I have tears in my eyes from laughing. Great song Caroline.
caroline
this all worthwhile!! bless you and thank you x
DWL
Splendid lyrics! (I wonder how 'cardigan' translates?)
Careful with that axe!

Dick
caroline

jiguma

Top post - "punish my spouse" - love that line!
H.M. Caro rules!
Lovely playing Fran - if you get a country band together, I'd like to volunteer for the bass position please. Rehearsals could be difficult .... but I'll get there somehow ;)

"...but the wedding left me with my ovaries ... "
Precious :) OK, so I've earwax to clean out. LOL
. - H
caroline
is that six ovaries??? :D watch out for those eardrums!! apricots, bananas and plums!! xoxox
J.A.Stewart
(spit up)... Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Caroline, I'll tell you why I immediately recognize this as a Country tune... The moment I hear there's a menopausal woman nearby, I know that it's time to... HEAD FOR THE HILLS!!!!!!
Especially when they are pondering the usefulness of axes AND "have a gun and know how to use it." LOL
You are WAY too much fun, my dear. ;)
--- Joe
caroline
nowhere to run to!!! nowhere to hide!!! *leaves to sharpen the axe and buy more bullets!!! lol - mwah xoxoxo
E-Frame Wrecker
Interesting Country/Americana sound with the screechy guitar riffs. You know this has a real cutting-edge aura about it. And your words are absolutely brilliant! Reminds me of what some of my Punk Rocker friends are doing now. You'd be a total hit with them.
caroline
being post-punk!!! your punk rocker friends are menopausal too??? sheesh - poor things!!! `;) - thank you for dropping by and for your delicious comments xox
rabittwhole

caroline
baby boy!!! what are you saying??!! LOL - remember ... send me a dozen of those axes!!! big loves little one xoxox
guitapick
...sensitive...somewhat Elizabethan in style and intent, I believe...
Great, great tune...so funny..."Punish My Spouse", indeed...
Fran: you're a natural with this style...
caroline
and we're gonna let hubbie out of the cellar at the end of the week but .. only if he promises to be good ;) - thank you for your appreciation xoxo
damiengh
Menopause.....hmmmmmmmmm
A pause from men. That's it.
The Pause that refreshes??
Loved the words of warning to us men.
It takes a country girl to deal with them symptoms, and your song definitely, makes you a country gal. Yee Haw!
Great one.
caroline
thank you for your appreciation - and let's hope that lots of you heed the warning .. now i'm off back to the hills xox
Ibstrat
funny stuff.Very creative- great song!
caroline
may the muse keep us all creative and may i always see the funny side - much love xoxo
apb
.. a song about woman's things .. and .. eek .. bits ..*puts head in sand* at mention of ostrichin'. ;o)
Loved it! Fabulous wit and charm in the lyrics (what else would one expect?) .. and Fran is countrying like he's been in that field for some time .. a fun song you too: a fine diversion for Fran meethinks and .. well .. more of what we all love from my dear bud Brunch xoxox.
Deservedly popular- explains all that panning in SL! ;o)
caroline
cool when i am hot ... nobody could wish for a better friend.. that said... wtf did i put that pan??!!!! big loves to my special friend ... brunch xoxoxo
Foinix
Very fun, very cool, very creative and very caro! Great job on this one - almost sounds like you lost that british accent for awhile!
caroline
bum over here - well spotted ... i did try to sound yankee doodle for a while but gave up - i thought someone might spot how very unauthentic it would sound!! big loves - mwah mwah xoxox
EEFliess
Caroline, I laughed so hard I....well, perhaps that would be too much information
caroline
i hope you won't have to change the cover on that chair now!! thank you for your support habibi - much much love xoxo
MIRx
Now, if I wasn't dead by laughing, right now, I would say this made me think of a scene from the Blues Brothers movie, where they go playing in this place and the stage is behind some kind of protection net, and you get to know what that's meant for when the band starts playing and people throw everything they have at reach to them!
I think you also should put such a net when posting tunes like this!
All the band really did a killer work, here, and judging from the result, much much fun has been had by everybody (listeners included)!
caroline
you are still out there in the big, wide world - thank you so much for finding your way back to comment and enjoy - mwaaah xoxox
thetiler
Hubbie is a louse so PMS means "Punish My Spouse",
You have some pretty funny lines Caroline.
It's gets tough as we get older and this song just proved it, even though I am from the opposite sex and can sympathize for sure.
This is a tune that need to be written. lIke the ending to, kind of reminds me of Jerry Reed and how some of his story songs would end in him talking with somebody. LIke that.
Way to Go!
caroline
fran!! well... actually... he gave it to me!! glad you liked it bill - thank you for stopping by and saying so xox
buckhorn
Sounds like and instant classic to me. I would play this for "she who must be obeyed"but I don't know if she would laugh or hit me. Very entertaining.
caroline
let me know!! thank you for your appreciation x
kristyjo
This could be the theme song for the staff at one of the schools I teach at! Very clever lyrics, and fun country style music.
caroline
i know plenty of schools were it would be appropriate too - glad you enjoyed - thank you xox
Lightman-
What a happy tune/song.... I like this style of music... It's really happy... Can say the word "Happy" again and again, about this song... Thanks for sharing...
caroline
sure?? LOL - glad you liked it mr lightman - thank you for saying so xoxox
VicDiesel
I didn't know that after D-I-V-O-R-C-E she wrote M-E-N-O-P-A-U-S-E, but it's a worthy followup.
Ah, don't you live that wholesome country living....
caroline
thank you for your comment and you appreciation xox
HipHopMoses
Though I feel I've ventured into a room full of estrogen or lack their of (female convo), so I'll just say well done and keep my mouth shut :D lol
Moses
P.s Great job not many can pull off being funny and good.
caroline
i am so happy that you liked this song - thank you for saying so xoxoxo

Chris
caroline

Robert Rayner
I agree with all the comments here, especially the ladieees!
I'm old enough, (with experiences and bruises) to know what to say and when. And also when to say nothing at all.
Fantastic lyrics, vocals and guitars.
Loved it x
snowdragon
but ... well, you know.
Nice job Kaz
caroline

caroline
sorry - i didn't realize that you had passed through!!! nice to see you - thank you and take care yourself too! xox
woofer3
I think you've answered that with this song - it reminds me in someways of a Frank Zappa spoof from "You are what you is" - called Harder than your husband.
This is a very entertaining and witty song and above all it brings me up which most music these days doesn't.
Good work, Caroline.
caroline
i totally agree - if i want to be depressed there are many, MANY, other ways than music!! thank you for your comment and your appreciation and for being my first comment of 2009 xox
sloparts
this is one Hot (cold) tune Caroline. I'm really rather happy I'm at least 4000 miles away at this particular time, I'm not sure it would be safe to be any closer. LMAO ;-)
But as for the song, I just love it. Hits the mark from what I've seen and endured, but then I guess it's nothing like what you girls have to go through. Great funny track Caroline, whether it was meant to be or not. I just love it.
Be well and be cool (Puhlease)
Ed
caroline

Joanna
This is not the sort of song I should've missed! Caroziti? Oh, no, I should not have had this much of life go past without having this in my head. I'm getting hot flashes just thinking about it. Caroline, Ziti -- DEEPEST BOWS to you both!!
caroline
wasn't i blessed to have use of fran's fantastic fingers?!! you'll be interested to know that in blighty we call them 'flushes' not 'flashes' - either way .. it's too darn hot!! big loves my dear xoxox
