ABOUT LUANNE 032611 - EUREKA
James Michael Taylor
Her real name isn’t Luanne and she was so drunk when this all happened (tho she has a cd with this song on it) she has no idea it’s about her.
Singing this song always makes me cry…
ABOUT LUANNE capo @ 2 in Am
Am G F E repeats
Luanne’ll take you down
But she don’t use muscle
She’s found some of your pieces
And she wants to solve your puzzle
Dm
She wants you to be happy
Am
And it bugs her that you’re not
E
It’s a simple thing, take off that ring
She’ll show you what she’s got
Cause you’re her latest project
Her latest stiffy too
Another animated object
In her menageristic z00
When others take the spotlight
She wiggles in her seat
She throws herself down on the floor
The spectacle complete
An G F G
Luanne…
She feels at home in public
She is at ease at work
And she can turn a guitar pull
Into a Circle Jerk
She tells you what you’re thinking
She really thinks she knows
She’s got output but no input
Yes, she’s another one of those
If I told her and she’d listen
It would end this blatant game
Cat & Mouse in a crowded house
It’s mistakes that fuel her flame
She thinks she knows her husband
So, she thinks she knows men
She thinks she knows the questions
The answers come wrapped in
Luanne…
She sings with gaged abandon
“Just take me as I am…”
She thinks she’s reaching Tender Loin
But she’s smoking Amsterdam
She sings a sad song angry
She sings a slow song fast
She reaches for another hug
When the time for hugs has passed
Luanne, Luanne
Dm
Talk with her’s like skipping pebbles
Am
Across a shallow stream
E
Like the let down sure to follow
When you awaken from that dream,
Am stepping down…
Without Luanne. Without Luanne. Without Luanne
It’s all about Luanne…

It’s an exceptional piece... I like pieces that “bother” and flip a phrase to a point... this one intrigues me.... You must keep writing James!!! Hope to cross paths again soon... Blu (Sharon Walker)
lovely song very heartfelt,and classic JMT...
Great tune.
Absolutely gorgeous. Love the lyrics. So tenderly done, I think it's my favourite of your tracks.
