Red Mosquito

Today I'm really loving this line from Sirah: "Life's only a bitch because it's a man's world."

Nas, from "Affirmative Action":

Life's a bitch, but God forbid the bitch divorce me
I be flooded with ice so hellfire can't scorch me

So if you find someone
Someone to have, someone to hold
Don't trade it for silver
Don't trade it for gold
I have all of life's treasures
And they're fine and they are good
They remind me that houses are just made of wood
What makes a house grand
It ain't the roof or the doors
If there's love in a house
It's a palace for sure
Without love, it ain't nothin but a house
A house where nobody lives

Speaking of houses, the lyrics to Troublesome Houses are some of my favorite ever.

Those are great, Ruddo -- I also really like the words to "The Sounds Are Always Begging" on that album (Bonnie 'Prince' Billy's "Wonder Show of the World" for those of you playing along at home).

It's like a jungle sometimes. It makes me wonder how I keep from going under.

Can't buy what I want because its free..

That dick would have to be featured in the New England Journal of Medicine, wouldn't it?

"As the free-fall advances,
I'm the moron who dances."

-The National

I love these lyrics

Ashes to ashes
We're born to rust
But there must be a little iron left
Left in us

-wildfire by mynabirds.

I'm a sucker for these kind of never give up underdog lyrics, and they a delivered in a lovely understated, weary way that plays against type for a line that reads anthematic on the page

Running with the 'songs my kids love that make up my commute' theme

Dance me to the end of love - Leonard Cohen

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panc 'til I'm gathered safely in
....
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
Dance me to the end of love

There are some magnificent lyrics in this song, starting with what should be an unwieldy title, but raises that intriguing question about whether or not love has limits, and the intimiate ways you test that.


This should be such a sexy song, but it came out at the height of his Casio crimes

Tom Wait`s That Feel is near perfection.

Poor Lyle
He lives in an hourglass
Counting every grain he sees

Nothing but time
Always the sun
Curse of a thirst felt with his teeth

But he still has his arms
He still has his legs
Nowhere to walk to
And nothing to hold

After a panic
Gathered his wits about
Put action to plan
Confirming his survival
With rocks for his tools
And salt for his wounds
And luck to sail away

But not if it's windy
And not if it's cold
And nothing too risky
And nothing too bold

Hopefully be delivered by winter

your girlfriend's vagina smells like bumble...bee tuna

I can't suppress these feelings any longer
You excite me, delight me, inspire me, drive me
It's in your eyes a fire that's wild and glorious
Uninhibited, unfinished in everything I do
Let the morning rise like our hearts desire
I can't help thinking that I love you

i saw you buying a pearl jam record,
and i noticed that you're gay
