Hate/love matters and rusty ol' treasures, edit
Hate/Love-Letters N’ Crusty ol' Hosers: Ray Scott
She brought her laundry over once a week,
Box of sirloin burgers n'wonder bread
We got on, like the Ropers till I retired to bed
Fireball whisky wore off, she would quietly leave
Broken springs and sunken cushions
Bachelor bios and fresh starts
Independence; always lookin'
Who'll go halvsies on my heart?
And it’s just another lonely weeknight
Cleanin’ dog hair outta’ the lint trap and my clothes
White noise fan drones on so I can sleep alright
Sawin’ logs n’ wakin’ up to turn the light off on the stove and this here night
Locking up the revolving front door
2:00am text from her home
Sweet Elouise, I’ll not worry anymore
Goodnight, sometimes, friend, I’m always here alone
Ah’ sweet Elouise, come cuddle me
Go away. Now, why’d ya’ leave?
Sweet Elouise, can’t ya’ stay?
Hate/Love relationship has sailed away
My mind’s like an old apartment building
So many tenants renting space
Management is far too unforgiving
Landlord’s always on my case
So, come again, please, bring your laundry
N’ fireball, we’ll share a toast
To quiet nights, we’ll think of fondly
'Cus you’re the one who I hate/Love the most
Awe, sweet Elouise
How I hate to love you so
I’m happy and I’m angry
You can leave but please don’t go
Awe, my sweet Elouise
There my lovely Elouise goes
You can bring your diet coke
Takin’ in all my incense smoke
Watch the YouTube videos
Wash yer’ dirty clothes
Overwhelm me with your Svengali mind
Like you just stole the glasses from the blind
Away she goes….Away goes sweet Elouise
Away Sweet Elouise goes with her fireball, her diet cola, all her Wonder Bread n' clothes
