Old Lyrics - Trouble Girl

TROUBLE GIRL

SO YOU’VE DECIDED NOT TO BREAK DOWN WITH ME,
YOU’RE GONNA LET GO OF THE GUNS.
YOU WANNA STAY WHERE YOU ARE NOW,
AND NOT COME HOME TO ME.
DOES THAT MAKE YOU THE LUCKY ONE?

GOOD-BYE, TROUBLE GIRL
HAVE A GREAT LIFE WHILE YOU CAN.
GOOD-BYE TROUBLE GIRL
JUST DON’T FORGET I WAS ALMOST YOUR MAN.

SO NOW I LAY HERE IN THIS BED
WHERE LESS THAN A WEEK AGO
YOU LOOKED UP AT MY EYES AND SAID
“I want you to make love to me”
I CAN STILL HEAR IT IN MY HEAD.

GOOD-BYE, TROUBLE GIRL
I HOPE YOU’RE HAVIN’ A GOOD TIME WHILE YOU CAN.
GOOD-BYE, TROUBLE GIRL
FOR A WHILE I WAS CLOSE TO BEING YOUR MAN.

WELL, SINCE I’M THIS OLD AT HEART,
AND YOU’RE NOT SURE WHO YOU ARE,
WE’RE BETTER OFF KEEPING AWAY FROM EACH OTHER.
AND YOU’RE HAPPY WHERE YOU ARE.
ALL I GOT OUT OF US IS THIS SONG.

GOOD-BYE, TROUBLE GIRL
STAY YOUNG FOR AS LONG AS YOU CAN.
GOOD-BYE, TROUBLE GIRL
YOU’RE GONNA REGRET I WAS NEVER YOUR MAN

GOOD-BYE, TROUBLE GIRL
DON’T GIVE UP. LIVE AS LONG AS YOU CAN.
GOOD-BYE, TROUBLE GIRL
THERE’S SOMEONE OUT THERE WHO WANTS ME TO BE HER ONE AND ONLY MAN.

None of Our Business...

In the past 25 minutes I have gotten 20 emails and too many texts to count about this Kevin Clash scandal/debacle...
Innocent Until Proven Guilty...

He admits to a relationship with this man, an adult relationship.  And denies doing anything with him as a minor.  I believe him.  Mr. Clash is not a fool.
I don't care if he's gay, straight, bi-sexual, or into aliens from space.  That's his thing.  Sexual orientation has nothing to do with his talent and his ability to teach and bring joy as Elmo and other characters.  And a leave of absence is not admitting guilt, it's the smart and professional thing to do while the lawyers sort it out. 

This is all I will say about it.  If you want more information please use this link -

...  6:30 PM Update to this post:

Kevin Clash has issued a statement saying,"I am a gay man. I have never been ashamed of this or tried to hide it, but felt it was a personal and private matter. I had a relationship with the accuser. It was between two consenting adults and I am deeply saddened that he is trying to characterize it as something other than what it was. I am taking a break from Sesame Workshop to deal with this false and defamatory allegation."



Good for you Mr. Clash, keep your head up and keep your heart strong.

Puppet Movie News (non-Elmwood stuff!)

So the ALF movie is a go at Sony...
But a CGI/Live Action mix?

I hope that means they will be using CGI to enhance the film, and not rely on it for ALF himself...
That would be a shame and insult.


Muppets 2 is still on it's way, with Bret McKenzie just signing on to write the music and talks of Christoph Waltz as a villain!

And after 7 years in development The Henson Company is still plugging at a Fraggle Rock movie (but not on a Dark Crystal sequel - thankfully) and last month announced new writers (the guys who wrote Rango!), kinda sad to see they aren't going with Cory Edwards anymore...
