lyrics
Take this heart of chalk as it crumbles in your hands
And then just draw around my body, that was never yours to have
And now that outline on the floor, the void that I have left
Well that's what you get, that's what you get.
When you count me like a number
Just another lover added to your list
Now you play me like a hopscotch
Jump right across my bleak abyss
Whooo made that mark upon your heart?
Whoo stole your soul?
Whooo changed your light side to dark?
Whooo keeps you so cold, so cold, so cold, so cold...?
Take my bitter words and taste them on your tongue
Perhaps they won't just go unheard, or shot down with your gun
You can't turn off a memory, shrug off an old regret
Well this is what you get, this is what you get
When you count me like a number
Just another lover added to your list
Now you play me like a hopscotch
Jump right across my bleak abyss
Whooo made that mark upon your heart?
Whoo stole your soul?
Whooo changed your light side to dark?
Whooo keeps you so cold, so cold, so cold, so cold...?
When you count me like a number
Just another lover added to your list
Now you play me like a hopscotch
Jump right across my bleak abyss
Now you kill me like a rumour
That goes no further never to exist
Now you treat me like a stranger
You don't remember my tender kiss
And then just draw around my body, that was never yours to have
And now that outline on the floor, the void that I have left
Well that's what you get, that's what you get.
When you count me like a number
Just another lover added to your list
Now you play me like a hopscotch
Jump right across my bleak abyss
Whooo made that mark upon your heart?
Whoo stole your soul?
Whooo changed your light side to dark?
Whooo keeps you so cold, so cold, so cold, so cold...?
Take my bitter words and taste them on your tongue
Perhaps they won't just go unheard, or shot down with your gun
You can't turn off a memory, shrug off an old regret
Well this is what you get, this is what you get
When you count me like a number
Just another lover added to your list
Now you play me like a hopscotch
Jump right across my bleak abyss
Whooo made that mark upon your heart?
Whoo stole your soul?
Whooo changed your light side to dark?
Whooo keeps you so cold, so cold, so cold, so cold...?
When you count me like a number
Just another lover added to your list
Now you play me like a hopscotch
Jump right across my bleak abyss
Now you kill me like a rumour
That goes no further never to exist
Now you treat me like a stranger
You don't remember my tender kiss

We Like Cake And Beards And Stuff
by Rocky and Ballssupported by 6 fans who also own “Count Me Like A Number”
I host a university radio show called "Earth Tracks" Wednesdays noon to 2 pm EST at CLKU (Laurentian University, Sudbury, Ontario, Canada) and I will be playing your "Love Cakes" song on tomorrow's show. The theme tomorrow is Lammas and I found your song searching for tunes that suit this pagan/Celtic sabbat. I was enchanted with your vocals and humour. Having had a beard for most of my 62 years, I also loved your Beardsong! We broadcast over the net at www.cklu.ca

I love this album because its like seeing her creative process behind the scenes. You can sorta pick up which records the songs were recorded for and why they were chosen for this but left off of others.
