lyrics

When the only sound in the empty street
Is the heavy tread of the heavy feet
That belong o a lonesome cop
I open shop

When the moon so long has been gazing down
On the waywards ways of theis wayward town
And my smile becomes a smirk
I go to work

Love for sale
Appetizing love for sale
Love that’s fresh and still unspoiled
Love that’s only slightly soiled
Love for sale

Who who will buy
Who would like to sample my supply
Well love that’s fresh and not aware
Love that doesn’t give a care
Love fo sale

Well, let the poets pipe of love
In their childish ways
Well I know every type of love better far than they
So if you want the thrill of love
I’ve been through the mill of love
Old love, new love
Every love but true love

Love for sale
Appetizing love for sale
If you’d like to pay the price
For a trip to paradise
Love for sale

Let the poets pipe of love
In their childish ways
Well I know every type of love better far than they
So if you want the thrill of love
I’ve been through the mill of love
Old love, new love
Any love but true love

Love for sale
Appetizing love for sale
If you’d want to pay the price
For a trip to paradise
Love for sale
Love for sale
Love for sale

about

Willie Wisely Saint Paul, Minnesota

Equal parts Minnesotan music scene veteran and Laurel Canyon resident/devotee, Willie Wisely remains that rare bird mixing profound power pop with arena-sized showmanship, a troubadour on an all night rave up, a cold kombucha on a hot California day, a McCartney-ite taking a break from his Japanese import of “Ram” for a quick Canyon run listening to João Gilberto. ... more
