She dashed by me in painted on jeans And all heads turned 'cause she was the dream In the blink of an eye I knew her number and her name, yeah Ah she said I was the tiger she wanted to tame Caribbean Queen Now we're sharing the same dream And our hearts they beat as one No more love on the run I lose my cool when she steps in the room And I get so excited just from her perfume Electric eyes that you can't ignore And passion burns you like never before I was in search of a good time Just running my game Love was the furthest Furthest from my mind Caribbean Queen Now we're sharing the same dream And our hearts they beat as one No more love on the run Caribbean Queen Now we're sharing the same dream And our hearts they beat as one No more love on the run Caribbean Queen Now we're sharing the same dream And our hearts they beat as one No more love on the run Caribbean Queen Now we're sharing the same dream And our hearts they beat as one No more love on the run Caribbean Queen Now we're sharing the same dream And our hearts they beat as one No more love on the run ‘Caribbean Queen (No More Love on the Run)’ by Billy Ocean Songwriters: Billy Ocean / Keith Diamond "Caribbean Queen (No More Love on the Run)" is a 1984 song by Trinidadian-British singer Billy Ocean. Co-written and produced by Keith Diamond, it climbed to number-one on both the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and the Billboard Black Singles chart, and number six in the UK Singles Chart. The song won Ocean the 1985 Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance, making him the first British artist to win in that category. The saxophone solo is played by Vernon Jeffrey Smith. The song was recorded under different titles for different parts of the world—resulting in versions such as "European Queen" and "African Queen". In the US, the song was released under the title "Caribbean Queen (No More Love on the Run)". It entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number 85 on the chart dated 11 August 1984. It hit number one ten weeks later and stayed at the top of the chart for two consecutive weeks. The song charted for 26 weeks. In 2004, the song was re-released as a digital single for its 20th anniversary, shooting up to no. 25 on the Billboard digital singles chart and garnering radio play across the US and UK. In 1985, Melba Moore recorded an "answer song" on her album Read My Lips entitled "King of My Heart". The song was also featured in the Miami Vice episode "Prodigal Son" from season 2. An instrumental version of "Caribbean Queen (No More Love on the Run)" was used during the starting lineup for CBS' telecast of the 1986 Daytona 500. The song was played in two episodes of The King of Queens, during a flashback to Doug's failed bartending stint in the Season 7 episode "Pour Judgement" and again at his high school reunion in the Season 9 episode "Mild Bunch". Additionally, Danny is heard singing the song in the Season 8 episode "Move Doubt", although Spence later reveals that the song itself was never played on his Walkman. Leslie Sebastian Charles, MBE (born 21 January 1950), known professionally as Billy Ocean, is a Trinidadian–English recording artist who had a string of R&B international pop hits in the 1970s and 1980s. He was the most popular Trinidadian–British R&B singer-songwriter of the early to mid-1980s. After scoring his first four UK Top 20 singles including two #2 hits in 1976 and 1977, seven years passed before he accumulated a series of transatlantic successes, including three US No. 1's. His 1985 hit "When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going" reached No. 1 in the UK and No. 2 in the US. In 1985, Ocean won the Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for his worldwide hit "Caribbean Queen (No More Love on the Run)" and in 1987 was nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Male Artist. His 1988 hit "Get Outta My Dreams, Get into My Car" reached No. 1 in the US and No. 3 in the UK. His 1986 hit "There'll Be Sad Songs (To Make You Cry)" also reached No. 1 in the US. In 2002, the University of Westminster, London, awarded Ocean an honorary doctorate of music. In 2010, Ocean was presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the MOBO Awards. On 29 July 2011, Ocean became a Companion of the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, presented to him by Sir Paul McCartney. He is a member of the Rastafari movement. Source: Wikipedia

I’m (I am?) a self-taught artist, originally from the north suburbs of Chicago (also known as John Hughes' America). Born in 1984, I started painting in 2017 and began to take it somewhat seriously in 2019. I currently reside in rural Montana and live a secluded life with my three dogs - Pebbles (a.k.a. Jaws, Brandy, Fang), Bam Bam (a.k.a. Scrat, Dinki-Di, Trash Panda, Dug), and Mystique (a.k.a. Lady), and five cats - Burglekutt (a.k.a. Ghostmouse Makah), Vohnkar! (a.k.a. Storm Shadow, Grogu), Falkor (a.k.a. Moro, The Mummy's Kryptonite, Wendigo, BFC), Nibbler (a.k.a. Cobblepot), and Meegosh (a.k.a. Lenny). Part of the preface to the 'Complete Works of Emily Dickinson helps sum me up as a person and an artist: "The verses of Emily Dickinson belong emphatically to what Emerson long since called ‘the Poetry of the Portfolio,’ something produced absolutely without the thought of publication, and solely by way of expression of the writer's own mind. Such verse must inevitably forfeit whatever advantage lies in the discipline of public criticism and the enforced conformity to accepted ways. On the other hand, it may often gain something through the habit of freedom and unconventional utterance of daring thoughts. In the case of the present author, there was no choice in the matter; she must write thus, or not at all. A recluse by temperament and habit, literally spending years without settling her foot beyond the doorstep, and many more years during which her walks were strictly limited to her father's grounds, she habitually concealed her mind, like her person, from all but a few friends; and it was with great difficulty that she was persuaded to print during her lifetime, three or four poems. Yet she wrote verses in great abundance; and though brought curiosity indifferent to all conventional rules, had yet a rigorous literary standard of her own, and often altered a word many times to suit an ear which had its own tenacious fastidiousness." -Thomas Wentworth Higginson "Not bad... you say this is your first lesson?" "Yes, but my father was an *art collector*, so…"
