A joyous thing A lover’ dream Pre-chorus: A trill Although i’m just the dregs — A cigarette An also-ran instead, A cheap hotel I know you must be fed, A lusty smell I know you must be fed. A devil’s deal A losing bet Chorus: A siren’s shriek It’s only just a kiss, A bachelor’s suite but I guess you can’t resist. A crumbled bill You know you want a piece of my heart. A hustler’s debt You’ve been messing around, but now it’s time to choke it down, you know you want a peace of my heart. Verse II: An evil scene Verse II: A victim’s scream Have you considered the cost? To kill with no regret All night waiting to get down, A heartless crime just think of who you’ve lost, A loss of time Now there’s no one else around. An eerie feel A secret kept [Repeat Pre-Chorus] A storyline A creative mind Change: A writer’s spiel A movie set it’s time to choke it down, close your eyes... A movie set don’t spit it out. A movie set ‘Cause that’s my heart I’m taking about — it’s not big, but it’s all I’ve got.

All these works are recent; women veterans of the war held their silence for many years, in part for reasons similar to those of male veterans, and in part because they often did not feel that they were legitimate veterans.

  • Through the Years… an Exclusive Photo Journal of Mallory’S Journey
    THROUGH THE YEARS… AN EXCLUSIVE PHOTO JOURNAL OF MALLORY’S JOURNEY REDEFINE LIMITATIONS February 12, 2008 As the days pass my heart feels as if it is in a perpetual state of tug-of-war, on one end I feel numb as if I am just looking to the world around me but cannot seem to comprehend what happened, yet on the other I feel the all-encompassing awareness that three weeks ago everything I knew changed. I find myself holding onto the bible verse that is engraved on the bracelet my mom gave me, it is Isaiah 41:13 and reads, “I will forever hold you in the palms of my hand.” Those words remind me I am not alone. Yes, today was hard – I left the hospital on a pass with my dad and went to the mall to get a pair of shoes for PT. While we were there I felt so alone, it was as if I was invisible to the world, yet everyone stared which made me feel over exposed. It felt like people turned the attention to look at me, but didn’t see me as a person, but rather an object as they looked through me. I have known this is going to be hard, nothing about it has been easy, but today it showed me what life outside the walls of the hospital is going to be and it has left me feeling terrified for what is to come. As I lay in bed tonight, I look around my room holding those words dear to my heart and I know, in my heart of hearts that despite how lonely the path may feel at times, I am never truly alone.

The Ultimate Forum for Dusty Springfield Fans Skip to content Advanced search Take Another Piece Of My Heart Post a reply 13 posts • Page 1 of 1 Take Another Piece Of My Heart (#p40137) by SweMaria » Sun Nov 14, 2010 5:28 pm I love Dusty's version of this song!! I think she sounds so cool, sensitive and tough at the same time ,when she sings it. I love the arrangement and the way the backing singers sing too! Did she perform the song live? I think I've read that she recorded it before Janis Joplin did it? Is that true? I couldn't find Dusty's version of the song on Youtube... Top Re: Take Another Piece Of My Heart (#p40143) by Chris80 » Sun Nov 14, 2010 8:08 pm I also like the song. I think Erma Franklin (Aretha's sister) recorded it first in 1967. Then Janis Joplin as well as Dusty did their versions both in 1968, but I'm not sure who was first. I normally always prefer Dusty, but Janis Joplin's raspy voice is also very cool and fits perhaps better. Here's Erma Franklin's version [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAErTuWXG6U[/youtube] ... and Janis Joplin: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVfoT1r8Ay4[/youtube] Unfortunately Dusty's interpretation is not on youtube. Of course would love to hear Dusty singing this song live, but I don't believe she did.

  • A Piece of My Heart” 4
    The American Century Theater presents by Shirley Lauro Suggested by the book by Keith Walker Audience Guide Edited by Jack Marshall September 11–October 10, 2009 Theatre II, Gunston Arts Center Theater you can afford to seesee–––– ppplaysplays you can’t afford to miss! About The American Century Theater The American Century Theater was founded in 1994. We are a professional company dedicated to presenting great, important, and too infrequently produced American plays of the twentieth century . what Henry Luce called “the American Century.” The company’s mission is one of rediscovery, enlightenment, and perspective, rather than mere nostalgia or preservation. Americans must not lose the extraordinary vision and wisdom of the playwrights of its past, nor can we afford to surrender our moorings to our shared cultural heritage. Our mission is also driven by a conviction that communities need theater and theater needs audiences. To those ends, this company is committed to producing plays that challenge and move all Americans, of all ages, origins, and points of view. In particular, we strive to create theatrical experiences that entire families can watch, enjoy, and discuss long afterward. These audience guides are part of our effort to enhance the appreciation of these works, so rich in history, content, and grist for debate. The American Century Theater is a 501(c)(3) professional nonprofit theater company dedicated to producing significant 20th Century American plays and musicals at risk of being forgotten. The American Century Theater is supported in part by Arlington County through the Cultural Affairs Division of the Department of Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Resources and the Arlington Commission for the Arts.
