quoted from "Song For Sharon", and in the midst of describing her own

written:

>>"I crawl like a viper through these suburban streets,
>>Make love to these women, languid & bittersweet"...has anyone else ever
used the word "languid" in a rock and roll song?


I always felt this way about Joni's use of "incendiary" in Come In From The
Cold.  How many times do you hear THAT word in a song?
