nocturne (chopin)

[bismillahno]

Given the thread and the story behind it, I'm astounded that
"The drugs don't work" from the Verve hasn't been mentioned.


All this talk of getting old
It's getting me down my love
Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown
This time I'm comin' down

And I hope you're thinking of me
As you lay down on your side
Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

But I know I'm on a losing streak
'Cause I passed down my old street
And if you wanna show, then just let me know
And I'll sing in your ear again

Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

'Cause baby, ooh, if heaven calls, I'm coming, too
Just like you said, you leave my life, I'm better off dead

All this talk of getting old
It's getting me down my love
Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown
This time I'm comin' down

Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

'Cause baby, ooh, if heaven calls, I'm coming, too
Just like you said, you leave my life, I'm better off dead

But if you wanna show, just let me know
And I'll sing in your ear again

Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again

I'm never going down, I'm never coming down
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more
I'm never coming down, I'm never going down
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more

"Mommy" by the Slackers (retro ska band from NYC) - it's a lament for a band member's deceased mother. Upbeat tempo, but gut-wrenching lyrics.

I listen to the Requiem on the anniversary of my dad's death each year. Waterworks galore. W.A. sure knows about exorcising grief.

Morrissey's Viva Hate record is enough to make any sane person want to jump. Can't stand the guy myself, but I had a clinically depressed rommate in grad school who listened to the freakin' record on his headphones WHILE HE SLEPT. He's weaving baskets at the funny farm now.

Gano rules. You take that back. The answer is the dude from string cheese. Or maybe it's just that he's the worst lyricist ever.

You forgot the no-talent ass-clown Michael Bolton.

Why should I change my name? He's the one who sucks.

I'm thinking about taking that new chick from Logistics. If things go right I might be showing her my O-face. You know: Oh. Oh.
