00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:02.490 align:middle line:84%
In the last-- the
song, I'll read

00:00:02.490 --> 00:00:05.340 align:middle line:84%
before I play it, set to
music by Allen Toussaint

00:00:05.340 --> 00:00:06.720 align:middle line:90%
from New Orleans.

00:00:06.720 --> 00:00:10.680 align:middle line:84%
And he introduces a new
singer named Clare Bathé.

00:00:10.680 --> 00:00:13.080 align:middle line:84%
And it's "Running for
the Office of Love"--

00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:15.280 align:middle line:90%
is the name of the song.

00:00:15.280 --> 00:00:18.165 align:middle line:84%
And so I'll read it and
then play it on the machine.

00:00:18.165 --> 00:00:24.240 align:middle line:90%


00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:25.900 align:middle line:84%
"I'm running for
the office of love.

00:00:25.900 --> 00:00:27.220 align:middle line:90%
My heart is in the ring.

00:00:27.220 --> 00:00:29.380 align:middle line:90%
I'm bad at making speeches.

00:00:29.380 --> 00:00:31.930 align:middle line:84%
So I guess I'll have to sing
a tune of moons and flowers

00:00:31.930 --> 00:00:35.110 align:middle line:84%
and things that go with spring,
and things that go with spring.

00:00:35.110 --> 00:00:37.660 align:middle line:90%
Love is so political.

00:00:37.660 --> 00:00:39.760 align:middle line:90%
I don't remember it this way.

00:00:39.760 --> 00:00:42.130 align:middle line:84%
They'll curse you if
you play it straight

00:00:42.130 --> 00:00:43.990 align:middle line:90%
and kill you if you're gay.

00:00:43.990 --> 00:00:46.990 align:middle line:84%
They say that love is dangerous,
that it's best to do without.

00:00:46.990 --> 00:00:48.850 align:middle line:84%
So somebody has
to speak for love.

00:00:48.850 --> 00:00:50.272 align:middle line:90%
That's why I'm singing out.

00:00:50.272 --> 00:00:51.730 align:middle line:84%
I'm running for
the office of love.

00:00:51.730 --> 00:00:52.735 align:middle line:90%
My heart is in the ring.

00:00:52.735 --> 00:00:53.860 align:middle line:90%
I'm bad at making speeches.

00:00:53.860 --> 00:00:56.770 align:middle line:84%
So I guess I'll have to sing
a tune of moons and flowers

00:00:56.770 --> 00:00:59.890 align:middle line:84%
and things that go with spring,
and things that go with spring.

00:00:59.890 --> 00:01:04.738 align:middle line:84%
Love is like a loaded gun, a
fool who stands in its way.

00:01:04.738 --> 00:01:06.280 align:middle line:84%
There was one man
who was on the run.

00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:07.750 align:middle line:90%
He was trying to get away.

00:01:07.750 --> 00:01:09.590 align:middle line:84%
But love took
careful aim at him.

00:01:09.590 --> 00:01:10.900 align:middle line:90%
She brought him in her sights.

00:01:10.900 --> 00:01:13.490 align:middle line:84%
He bought her wine
and perfume and all

00:01:13.490 --> 00:01:14.980 align:middle line:90%
of her favorite delights.

00:01:14.980 --> 00:01:18.040 align:middle line:84%
He hadn't been paying attention
and giving love her due.

00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:20.890 align:middle line:84%
She took away his peace of mind
and plagued him with the blues.

00:01:20.890 --> 00:01:21.970 align:middle line:84%
I'm running for
the office of love.

00:01:21.970 --> 00:01:22.990 align:middle line:90%
My heart is in the ring.

00:01:22.990 --> 00:01:24.130 align:middle line:90%
I'm bad at making speeches.

00:01:24.130 --> 00:01:26.770 align:middle line:84%
So I guess I'll have to sing
a tune of moons and flowers

00:01:26.770 --> 00:01:29.395 align:middle line:84%
and things that go with spring,
and things that go with spring.

00:01:29.395 --> 00:01:33.220 align:middle line:84%
They say that love is
dangerous, it's on the radio,

00:01:33.220 --> 00:01:35.890 align:middle line:84%
that holding hands is fatal,
a kiss can bring you low.

00:01:35.890 --> 00:01:40.630 align:middle line:84%
The papers-- they keep shouting
that love means doom and gloom.

00:01:40.630 --> 00:01:43.330 align:middle line:84%
So love is lying low for a
while until the next big bloom,

00:01:43.330 --> 00:01:44.872 align:middle line:90%
until her next big bloom.

00:01:44.872 --> 00:01:46.330 align:middle line:84%
I'm running for
the office of love.

00:01:46.330 --> 00:01:46.990 align:middle line:90%

I'm bad at making speeches.

00:01:47.870 --> 00:01:49.930 align:middle line:84%

and things that go
with spring, and things

00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:52.910 align:middle line:90%
that go with spring."

00:01:52.910 --> 00:01:55.560 align:middle line:84%
This is introducing-- I think
this is her first record, Clare

00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:56.060 align:middle line:90%
Bathé.

00:01:56.060 --> 00:02:15.560 align:middle line:90%

00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:26.060 align:middle line:84%
(SINGING) I'm running
for the office of love.

00:02:26.060 --> 00:02:28.370 align:middle line:90%
My heart is in the ring.

00:02:28.370 --> 00:02:30.170 align:middle line:90%

So someone has to
speak for love.

That's why I'm singing out.

I'm running for
the office of love.

00:03:16.870 --> 00:03:19.270 align:middle line:90%
