The Bargain Store

A friend has just been jilted by his fiancee for a richer guy-imagine!
When we were already rejoicing about the opportunity to 'partee'. (So much for our stupendous Bach-Eve. Okay o maybe I'll post the full story l8r)

Now I'm worried for my guy, he wants to go into the world with a vengeance.

There's so much hurt in the world; senseless hurt, yes.
The greatest tragedy , though, is when we keep re-feeling the hurt.

Today's Adonis may be tomorrow's Wonky and hurt us (or not). There is always a cycle of hurt to be broken by us all who have ever attempted love (or like..lol).

People get hurt and react in diverse ways.
Sometimes we say "Chei! I've learnt" "I no know how to deal with such and such".

Yeah right.

YOU ARE HURT and need to get rid of the hurt before you start liking someone else again.
ELSE? you'll be hurt again and it might just be your fault this time for not being whole before mingling again.

Dolly (God bless her and her ....), says it very well below.

The part that I think is most important in this song is the part of opening up, esp by someone who's been hurt before before, a la ..."...The bargain store is open, COME INSIDE".

One love...

Title: The Bargain Store


My life is like unto a bargain store
And i may have just what you're lookin' for
If you don't mind the fact that all the merchandise is used
But with a little mending it could be as good as new

Why you take for instance this old broken heart
If you will just replace the missing parts
You would be surprised to find how good it really is
Take it and you never will be sorry that you did

The bargain store is open come inside
You can easily afford the price
Love is all you need to purchase all the merchandise
And i will guarantee you'll be completely satisfied

Take these old used memories from the past
And these broken dreams and plans that didn't last
I'll trade them for a future, i can't use them anymore
I've wasted love but i still have some more

The bargain store is open come inside
You can easily afford the price
Love is all you need to purchase all the merchandise
And i can guarantee you'll be completely satisfied

My life is like unto a bargain store
And i may have just what you're lookin' for
If you don't mind the fact that all the merchandise is used
With a little mendin' it could be as good as new

The bargain store is open, come inside
The bargain store is open, come inside

  1. What happened to your friend is really painful, hope he's gotten over it. You're so right about taking time and letting go of the hurt, but its really hard and you recognise that too.

  3. Miss,
    Tanx. I like to think he has. We hardly mention it now except when jesting.
    Its become one of our humor lines.lol. I know he'll still remember at his 'alone' times but at least the humor will soften the pinch. Thank God for friends, eh?
