A shut door.

A glass of Cointreau with a bit of that lime juice cordial guff and some soda-less water.

A phrase stuck in my head, from Springsteen's Nebraska - "I guess there's just a meanness in this world".

An urge to try and do "the right thing".

A Karma County CD on the micro hi-fi.

and the phones never seem to work right nowadays, when I call her or she calls me. Her words got all chopped up 'cause she's on the train, and then the recorded voice kicked in in the background, saying the next stop will be Doby Ghaut. She can't usually hear what I'm saying either.

But I've got Hank and Joe, and few others...they'll sing me to sleep tonight - just another guy on the lost highway.
