Though I can't find it, or it's been lost to the Swamps of time, I've told the story of the long, cross country trip I took with my parents that is one of my earliest memories. To this day, both
Baker Street and
Miracles are songs that make me think of highways and a hot, vinyl backseat.*
I heard Miracles on the radio yesterday. In typical me fashion, I've never bothered (until this morning) to read up on the song despite the fact that it's randomly meaningful to me, so I didn't know there was a radio cut and an album cut of the song. The radio single version was edited not just for time, but for content. Specifically this, I guess:
I had a taste of the real world (Just a drop of it)
When I went down on you, girl, oh.
I noticed that line yesterday, and it stood out so much that I'm not entirely sure that I've ever actually heard the album cut. The lyrics
as transcribed here read like a horrible love poem, and then there is this towards the end:
(sarcastic Grace mini-orgasm)
*If I had to pick one for actual inclusion in this thread, it would be Baker Street
I felt aswirl with warm secretions.
