Anyways, I try. :) 1) Drunk On Love 2) More Fire Than Flame 3) Best Friends 4) Copernicus 5) Cruising For Bruising 6) Time And Tide 7) The Sweetest Illusion 8) My Cruel Ways 9) Baby You're Mine 10)Astrud Ok, that's Top 10! Maybe.. There isn't very many songs that I don't like.. :) As I may have mentioned before I didn't care about lyrics until I started listening to Basia. Maybe to woman it's easier to understand lyrics written by woman. Maybe I have been in the same kind of situations sometimes. :) But I have always been listening to lyrics of The Prayer of a Happy Housewife. When I first heard it I was sure that Basia is married. And nowadays I have been able to read things like Miss T and so on.. There's a line: and when I watch our children grow.. Everything like that made me thinking.. Well, I have read that she's writing lyrics about her friends and so on. Is there somebody who knows about this song?

I always find myself setting Repeat Play on "More Fire Than Flame". Bravo, Terhi!
