'A Whiter Shade of Pale'

A personal, erotic reading

Tiffany wrote to 'Beyond the Pale' with an open letter ...

' ... to my musically talented boyfriend. He was my friend for a very long time, and he would sing to me on many occasions and I thought how lucky I was to have such a talented friend. Honestly, his voice reaches into my soul and caresses it, and this does not happen often with other artists; but Josh Jones impressed me, mostly while we were only friends. We were never romantic, until one day when he asked me out. WOoohoOo! I love him! Now he impresses me more every moment we are together. Imagine that ... God I Love him!!

Enuff mushy stuff

Okay, I've told him repeatedly how I want very badly to make love with him while Whiter Shade of Pale is looped in the background ... over and over, because this song is so incredibly beautiful it can only complement the way I feel for him, all my love. My God, Josh.... I know why I think of making love to you during this song ... Check it out!'

Keith Reid's words	Tiffany's erotic reading
We skipped the light fandango	Everyone's out for a good time ... Like usual
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor	Same stuff different day ... going through motions
I was feeling kinda seasick	Lonely ... sigh sad ... it'll never happen, finding love
But the crowd called out for more	Everyone yearns for love, as if it'll happen but never does
The room was humming harder	Whole lotta confusion, no one understands
as the ceiling flew away	Misconceptions like Fronts or \|Walls\| blocking communication
When we called out for another drink	Hopeful that tonite will be different
the waiter brought a tray	Gotta love this bar <LoL> ... it's his job: money talks
And so it was that later	Time passes, as usual
as the miller told his tale	This popular girl does the typical entertainment, miller = girl
that her face, at first just ghostly,	This show she puts on is slowly killing her
turned a whiter shade of pale	She acts how she thinks they expect her to act,
She said, ‘There is no reason	She answers the question, why do you do it?
and the truth is plain to see.’	She ignores the question with her usual distractions
But I wandered through my playing cards	He thought hard about what this was worth
and would not let her be	She's worth knowing ... really she is
one of sixteen vestal virgins	Another girl, one he can have ... a vestal virgin
who were leaving for the coast	Was walking out the door as he spoke to this particular one
and although my eyes were open	He knew not many men would spend the time
they might have just as well've been closed	But he finds her stunningly attractive ...
She said, ‘I'm home on shore leave,’	She brushes him off... fights him, I don't need you!
though in truth we were at sea	He's pissed ... she in turbulent waters! she needs him
so I took her by the looking glass	He sees through her ... understands her, that no one knows
and forced her to agree	He takes a different approach, since being just some guy doesn't work
saying, ‘You must be the mermaid	Knowing she's wild yet easy to tame, with a softer touch
who took Neptune for a ride.’	He compliments her and charms her heart...
But she smiled at me so sadly	But then he looks into her and seen her sadness, so much love
that my anger straightway died	There's something about her she definitely needs him!
If music be the food of love	He explains how he feels about her,
then laughter is its queen	How everyone just doesn't understand and play it off
and likewise if behind is in front	He explains that things are not always how we perceive
then dirt in truth is clean	Just like her little act ... he knows her! She's really not bad
My mouth by then like cardboard	He knows her because he knows himself!
seemed to slip straight through my head	He shares this with her with a simple look
So we crash-dived straightway quickly	Even though they've only just met, there's something
and attacked the ocean bed	They go for it making love as the ocean rises and falls, sometimes a light gentle wave, or a thundering rush hard into the ocean bed!!! They have raw passionate sex!
