Spoke in theWheel BLS~

One of my favorite pastimes, which many of you already know about me, is that I like to make up my own lyrics for my favorite songs. I thought I would share one with ya.....

 This is BLS’s song “Spoke in the Wheel.”  It is a song that makes me very sad to hear. As I listen to it, I picture a chronically depressed man singing about being rejected of love from a woman he cared deeply for and how bitter he has become because of it.....

 I always wondered what “her” side of this terrible love story was. So, I sat down and came up with a female version/response to this very bitter man.

First the original lyrics…

 ..

Spoke in the Wheel....

Black Label Society....

.. ..

Lord, I Question Whether I've had my fill
Lord, I Question whether I can take much more
You may laugh as I lay here bleeding
No more afters or befores

Some day you'll know just how I feel
You left me there twice before
Some day you'll know just how it feels
Shattered, cast aside, stripped of your pride
Like you were never nothing special
Made you feel like another spoke in the wheel

So you say im just another dollar
So you say I'm just another day yeah
Once my blood was strong....

 but now it's jaded ....

and it's thin ....

Unlike you....

 I can still tell right from wrong

Some day you'll know just how it feels
While you left me there twice before
Some day you'll know just how it feels
Shattered, cast aside, stripped of your pride
Like you were never nothing special
Made you feel like another spoke in the wheel

Some day you'll know just how it feels
While you left me there twice before
Some day you'll know just how it feels
Shattered, cast aside, stripped of your pride
Like you were never nothing special
Made you feel like another spoke in the wheel....

My "Cover" To The Song…....

Spoke In The Wheel....

Black Label Society....

(Reworded by Laurabeth Stone)....

.. ..

“As sung by a woman in response to the above song”....

.. ..

.. ..

Oh, I question whether my heart will heal....

And, I question whether I can cry much more....

You may laugh as my soul is pleading, babe....

(mmm yeah)....

 Burn those bridges like before....

.. ..

Someday you’ll know just how I feel....

You left me there sooo unsure....

Someday you’ll know just how it feels....

Shattered, cast aside, stripped of your pride....

Like you were never nothing special....

Made to feel....

Like another spoke in the wheel....

From the start you were a somethin’ special babe....

We dug the holes ~ deep along the way ....

You told me to be strong....

 With guilt, strength faded ~ a love sin?....

.. ..

Just like you....

I could still tell right from wrong....

.. ..

Someday you’ll know just how I feel....

While you left me there sooo unsure....

Someday you’ll know just how it feels....

Shattered, cast aside, stripped of your pride....

Like you were never nothing special....

Made to feel....

Like another spoke in the wheel....

.. ..

Someday I’LL know just how YOU feel....

While I left you there twice before....

Someday I hope that we won’t feel....

Shattered, cast aside, stripped of our pride....

Like we were never nothing special....

.. ..

I still feel....

Like another spoke in the wheel....
