We kinda rock a little all our life
we rock ~ I did ~ I rocked in my cradle for sure and ah, then in mid-life you
sort of rock on your feet and then you move onwards to a rocking chair at some
point, probably, so that's kind of what Rock a Little means. It means to
rock and roll all your life. |

[Rock A Little] was also written before Bella Donna came
out...and I've had most of the song ~ in fact, I mean really the entire

I'm Lily. ...I've been Lily for a
long time, actually because in my writing ~ in my book and everything ~ I, when
I write about me and my friend Robin who everybody knows that I lost to leukemia
I wrote about her and I as Lily and Julia ~ Julia and Lillian Hellman ~ so that
movie [Julia] ~ you know with Jane Fonda and Vanessa Redgrave ~
so Robin looked incredibly like Vanessa Redgrave and I ~ I was very Jane Fonda
you know. And our relationship was very much like this like you know ~ come on
across the river but don't forget to tell me that you're really afraid so in case
you fall in I'll be expecting it. Don't lie to me and say 'Alright ~ I'll do it
because you think I'm brave.' |

The Other Side of the Mirror
came from…well first it was going to be Mirror Mirror, that was going
to the name of Rock A Little. And then, because the song Mirror Mirror
didn't end up going on the record because I didn't like the way it turned
out, I changed it to Rock A Little because Rock A Little became
the lead song. |

Rock a little means perseverance
~ Rock a little means rock a little all the time. If you rock out, you may not
rock any more. |

[singing
] Sometimes it rages that was about the ocean you know ~ that ~ like
shook my house and scared me to death every night ~ 'cause I thought it was an
earthquake. [Singing] Rock a little/ Even when it's calm the house
still shook a little/ Just like the sea I rock a little/ Some say it was just
like me ~ Rock a little. That mean's cool out. Relax. Okay. Just rock a little
all the time and you won't die.
