One of my favorite bands of all time is Eels. I was listening to their latest CD in my car on the drive home today, one that I’m ashamed to say I haven’t given enough time in my CD player.
Like all good Eels CDs, all the songs are at least good and at least one is truly great. The great song on the latest CD reminds me of my lovely wife. I hereby dedicate these lyrics to her. =]
“Beginner’s Luck” – Eels
All my life I had this funny little feeling
It came and went time and again with all my daily demons
Call it a deficit, an emptiness inside
Why is true love hard to find? Why does true love hide?
But now I found you and I know that we will be
So very happy, if you could only see
That I was made for you and you were made for me
The road in front of us is long and it is wide
We’ve got beginner’s luck, we’ve got it on our side
If you are willing, well, I think I’m qualified
And with beginner’s luck we’ve gotta take the ride
I’ve got a plan, you know, I’ve got it all worked out
And all you gotta do is pack your bags and check your doubts
You come around and you will see just what I am
A true love through the worst of times, a true love to the end
So now you’ve found me and you only gotta see
How complementary we could really be
‘Cause I was made for you and you were made for me
The road in front of us is long and it is wide
We’ve got beginner’s luck, we’ve got it on our side
We will be stronger if our forces are aligned
And with beginner’s luck we’ve gotta take the ride
We’ll take the ride as far as anyone can go
We’ll brave it all, yeah, hand-in-hand and toe-to-toe
I’ve got it all worked out, don’t worry about a thing
Just give your hand to me, and here, put on this ring
The road in front of us is long and it is wide
We’ve got beginner’s luck, we’ve got it on our side
If you are willing, well, I think I’m qualified
And with beginner’s luck we’ve got to take the ride
