LOVE GAMBLE original version
LOVE TANGLE
roulette makes my nerves jangle
poker plays are not my angle
casino games can't hold a candle
to love
love is my kind of gamble
love is my kind of tangle
I'm risking all that I can handle
I'm risking all that I can handle
LOVE GAMBLE
LOVE TANGLE
sometimes high, sometimes mangled
I just cannot get a handle
on how to win in this gamble
I ask myself, what are the chances
of success in my romances
before I give up or go rancid?
then, among love's thorns and brambles,
snagged again when on a ramble
I need no preamble
to give love another chance
love mild
love wild
love returned
to me
love is my kind of gamble
love is my kind of tangle
I'm handling all that I can manage
I'm handling all that I can manage
LOVE GAMBLE
LOVE TANGLE
soon I notice that you savor
every bit of my behavior
the odds are now in my favor
then, my feet step on your shoes
I start to sing the blues
but you whisper the news
you love
you love me
tender glowing
reaching opening
the hungry heart
love
*****
I've tried
alone
pride
cool
snide
And I can't hide that
cool cat can't hold a candle
to love
distant glamor fades beside
love
love is the finest gamble
love is the warmest tangle
the cool lose more than they imagine
the cool lose more than they imagine
LOVE GAMBLE
LOVE TANGLE
the hard shell hides the heart
the cold shoulder keeps apart
the cool lose before they start
snubs and sneers frost the air
snobbish cuts create despair
distant glamor wears and tears
love
deep and mild
hot and wild
melting ice
love
love is the finest gamble
love is the warmest tangle
I feared it more than I imagined
I feared it more than I imagined
LOVE GAMBLE
LOVE TANGLE
my hard shell hid my heart
my cold shoulder chilled my heart
my guarded ways walled my heart
my hard shell hurt my love
my cold shoulder blocked my love
my fear of hurt locked me from
love
gentle scary
searing daring
filling the heart
love
*****
I lost
though I never gambled
I ached
though I never tangled
my nerves jangled
my heart strangled
until I saw
cool cat can't hold a candle
to love
now
love is my kind of gamble
love is my kind of tangle
I'm risking all the scrapes and scrambles
love melts all my icy brambles
LOVE GAMBLE
LOVE TANGLE
you can see I'm eager ready
I can see your love is steady
no need for any betting
the odds are stacked in our favor
we're side by side I hope forever
a lifetime together
of love
love mild
love wild
love between
you and me
love is our kind of gamble
love is our kind of tangle
we're winning all that we can handle
we're winning all that we can handle
LOVE GAMBLE
LOVE TANGLE
love between
you and me

Love Gamble, Love Tangle -
click here for original version.
music - Peter Laczko, 1997
Developed together, words and music,
from the initial word version
and the initial music version.
Hopes and dreams and plans
later set aside -
life going on in other directions
when the next step was too hard -
in this case, the next step of recording.
And then what?
It can be too hard to go on, too daunting.
Now, more plans.
I can still play Peter's music in my head,
hear the guitar chords, feel the pauses.

A dozen
years ago,
I began to wake up
with word pieces -
words music, spoken word, songs -
in my head.
Escape velocity.
Echo of the echo.
Tank almost empty.
Can't cross the gap.
Welcome into my world.
