You seem so sad...why not smile

And-now-we-meet-in-an-abandoned-studio-
oh-a-
we-hear-the-playback-and-it-seems-so-long-ago-
oh-oh-oh-oh-a-
and-you-remember-the-jingles-used-to-go
Oh-a - ho ho ho
Oh Ah oh
You were the first one
Oh ah oh
You were the last one

The Buggles ref

Meet me in the middle of the day
Let me hear you say, “everything’s okay”
Bring me southern kisses from your room…

  • Steve Forbert “Romeo’s Tune”

It’s such a perfect day
I’m glad I spent it with you
Just a perfect day
Feed animals in the zoo,
Then later, a movie too
And then home

Lou Reed lyric

Someone told me
It’s all happening at the zoo
I do believe it
I do believe it’s true

The monkeys stand for honesty
Giraffes are insincere
And the elephants are kindly, but they’re dumb
Orangutans are skeptical
Of changes in their cages
And the zookeeper is very fond of rum

(Simon & Garfunkel)

I’d sing her classic country songs
And she’d get high and sing along
She don’t have a voice to sing with now

We’d burn these joints in effigy
Cry about what we used to be
Try to ignore the elephant somehow
Somehow

I buried her a thousand times
Giving up my place in line
But I don’t give a damn about that now…

  • Jason Isbell “Elephant”

I’d sing her classic country songs
And she’d get high and sing along
She don’t have a voice to sing with now

We’d burn these joints in effigy
Cry about what we used to be
Try to ignore the elephant somehow
Somehow

I buried her a thousand times
Giving up my place in line
But I don’t give a damn about that now…

Come on, skinny love, just last the year
Pour a little salt, we were never here
My my my, my my my, my my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer
I tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My my my, my my my, my my
Right in this moment, this order’s tall

Bon Iver lyric, covered by many

ETA I don’t know what’s wrong with the formatting on this piece of crap, but it’s getting on my tits.

And I haven’t been takin’ my meds
So lock all the cabinets and send me to bed
'Cause I know you’re still worried, I’m gonna get scared again
And make my insides clean with your kitchen bleach

But I’ve kissed enough bathroom sinks
To make up for the lovers that never loved me
And I know my body is just dirty clothes
I’m tired of washin’ my hands, God, I wanna go home…

  • Julien Baker “Go Home”

Come doused in mud, soaked in bleach
As I want you to be,
As a trend, as a friend
As an old memoria…

  • Nirvana “Come as You Are”

Deleted as repeat.

Hey man, I’m making moves
And I am so much stronger than you
I am so much stronger
I am so much stronger than you

Everybody thinks the way that we thought
We thought ahead and look what we got

Well, I did not invent this world
Call my words a string of pearls, but
You will find the sheen soon loses luster
Meanwhile, the world would try to mend (the universe is shrinking as it could)

  • Syd Straw “Future 40’s”

I want you to know I feel completely at ease
Read me like a book
That’s fallen down between your knees
Please, let me have my way with you

Crowded House lyric ref

She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and cut your hair
And from your lips she drew a Hallelujah

Leonard Cohen lyric ref

Caught your hand inside a till
Slammed your fingers in the door
Fought with kitchen knives and skewers
Dressed me up in women’s clothes
Messed around with gender roles
Line my eyes and call me pretty

(James)

Got your mother in a whirl
Coz she doesn’t know if you’re a boy or a girl
Hey babe if you’re hair’s alright
Hey babe let’s go out tonight

My name is Bill and I’m a headcase
They practice making up on my face
Yeah, I feel lucky if I get trousers to wear
Spend evenings taking hairpins from my hair
… I’m a boy, I’m a boy
But my ma won’t admit it
I’m a boy, I’m a boy
But if I say I am, I get it

The Who I’m A Boy

Ack! Formatting! I need to get a laptop anyway. This ipad is old and on its dying legs.

When I was a boy
I scared the pants off of my mom
Climbed what I could climb upon
And I don’t know how I survived
I guess I knew the tricks that all boys knew
And you can walk me home
But I was a boy too

Looking for
Girls who want boys
Who like boys to be girls
Who do boys like they’re girls
Who do girls like they’re boys
Always should be someone you really love

Blur lyric

In a West End town
A dead end world
The East End boys
And West End girls

(Pet Shop Boys)

I know what boys like, I know what guys want
I know what boys like, I’ve got what boys like
I know what boys like, I know what guys want
I see them looking…
