Description:
i won't bore you with the long story but .. the short story is ... thank you eddie - if only it hadn't been so long ;) - thank you alan - as always, thank you lee for those first chords - mwah and ... blimey fran ... you are star and a half - bless your magic fingers and.. thank you peter - nobody could be less of a louse - i love you xoxoxox

Lyrics:
In Nashville, Tennesse I had my hysterectomy
But 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.

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 ;)

Hahahahahahahaha &mdash 07/08/08 - 09:26:14 PM
(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. ;)

Post-Punk Nashville girl &mdash 07/09/08 - 02:01:19 AM
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.

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.




[ Reply to This ]
a pause for men?? NEVER!!! &mdash 07/11/08 - 04:35:06 AM

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)

This is no less than LETHAL! &mdash 07/11/08 - 02:59:18 AM
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)!

[ Reply to This ]
Ha &mdash 07/11/08 - 10:03:29 PM
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!
