[00:00.00]My Choice (Album Version) - Rooms: a rock romance
[00:05.85]This is excruciating somewhat humiliating
[00:13.72]Waiting here no place to run
[00:17.30]
[00:17.87]Doing the deed that must be done
[00:22.89]And I still got dreams to settle
[00:25.95]
[00:27.01]Call me an unblossomed petal
[00:31.01]Flowering into something wild
[00:34.49]I can't be a mother while I'm still a child
[00:38.40]I wanna be free
[00:42.62]And there's two dozen women waiting in line
[00:45.29]All with the same problem as mine
[00:47.25]Places to go people to see
[00:49.23]Things to do things to be
[00:51.37]Twenty-four women just like me
[00:53.55]Singing along in harmony
[00:55.53]It's my baby my body
[00:59.86]
[01:00.45]My choice
[01:01.70]
[01:08.64]On the slab I lie I part my legs
[01:12.72]I start to cry they start to press
[01:16.33]
[01:17.16]I think of Mommy beautiful in her Friday night dress
[01:23.74]
[01:25.86]Groggy anesthesia foggy with amnesia
[01:33.79]
[01:35.02]There's everything I ever thought I wanted
[01:39.14]Disappears
[01:43.59]And I leap of the slab
[01:46.16]And I run out the room
[01:48.22]
[01:49.07]And in my womb
[01:50.83]Baby boom
[01:56.65]
[01:57.78]It starts to rain I go get the train
[02:00.25]
[02:03.35]With my baby in my body
[02:09.37]
[02:11.09]My choice
[02:12.32]
[02:14.40]Done
[02:15.75]
[02:18.61]We have a son
[02:19.44]
[02:22.74]His name is Glasgow
[02:24.91]
[02:26.08]Two years old
[02:28.71]Good as gold
[02:29.90]
[02:30.79]Glasgow Miller Wallace
[02:34.43]
[02:36.61]He's got a little bed he's got a lava lamp
[02:40.40]
[02:41.89]He's got a wee guitar and an even wee-er amplifier
[02:46.19]
[02:46.84]Why you should hear him sing
[02:48.87]It's what he loves to do
[02:51.33]And cause he does he lives in us
[02:54.00]And he has kept me close to you
[02:56.30]
[02:59.95]Say something
[03:00.80]
[03:03.67]Anything at all
[03:05.45]
[03:10.51]Talk about dumbstruck
[03:12.55]
[03:14.77]Me a father good luck
[03:17.48]
[03:19.22]Always could rely on her
[03:21.73]To bring me news that rendered me
[03:24.25]Unstuck unglued
[03:26.53]Undone
[03:27.37]
[03:28.95]I have got a son
[03:30.37]
[03:32.78]That requires some contemplation
[03:34.79]
[03:37.04]What do I do with this information'
[03:39.62]
[03:45.84]Late nights in my studio
[03:49.04]
[03:50.39]Playing with sound and sonic vision
[03:54.13]
[03:54.92]Plugging into the rhythm of dissidence I felt inside
[03:59.22]Each minor chord and major test
[04:01.47]A back beat playing in my chest
[04:03.50]Your smile your face the bass the boom
[04:05.60]The empty space I call my room
[04:07.49]But I was always one step off my best
[04:11.57]
[04:14.02]When I was without you
[04:15.41]
[04:16.13]I was always one step to the left
[04:20.46]
[04:22.12]Within me without you
[04:26.82]No more loneliness
[04:31.12]Within me without you
[04:35.03]No more sorrow
[04:39.06]Within me without you
[04:43.16]No more second guessing
[04:50.64]
[04:51.28]No more wondering what if we had done things
[04:57.40]Differently
