We are accidents, waiting, waiting, to happen

In pitch dark I go walking in your landscape
Broken branches trip me as I speak
Just because you feel it doesn't mean it's there
Just because you feel it doesn't mean it's there
Radiohead - There There [live acoustic]

Radiohead - Nude [live]
Now that you've found it, it's gone
Now that you feel it, you don't
You've gone off the rails

Radiohead - Unravel [Bjork cover]
while you are away
my heart comes undone
slowly unravels
in a ball of yarn
the devil collects it
with a grin
our love
in a ball of yarn

he'll never return it

Radiohead - 4 Minute Warning
This is just a nightmare
Soon I'm going to wake up*

* awesome fanvid

how many goddamn words

does is take to get you to sleep?

Modest Mouse - Baby Blue Sedan
And I'm lonesome when you're around. And I'm never lonesome when I'm by myself. And I miss you when you're around.

The National - Wasp Nest
You’re all humming live wires under your killing clothes. Get over here, I wanna kiss your skinny throat. You’re a wasp nest, you’re a wasp nest..

REM - Strange Currencies
and I don't know what you mean to me. but I want to turn you on, turn you up, figure you out, want to take you on

Smashing Pumpkins - Muzzle
i fear that i am ordinary, just like everyone. to lie here and die among the sorrows, adrift among the days
for everything i ever said and everything i've ever done is gone and dead
as all things must surely have to end, and great loves will one day have to part
i know that i am meant for this world

Great Expectations [Score] - Kissing In The Rain
Instrumental

I'll Love You With All the Madness In My Soul

The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
Everybody's out on the run tonight but there's no place left to hide
Together Wendy we'll live with the sadness
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul

Someday girl I don't know when we're gonna get to that place
Where we really want to go and we'll walk in the sun
But till then tramps like us baby we were born to run
Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run

Sea Wolf - Middle Distance Runner
So won't you run to me tonight? Tonight let's not talk about next summer, cause I'll only ever be a middle distance runner

Wolf Parade - You Are a Runner and I am My Father's Son
I'll draw three figures on your heart. One of them will be me as a boy, one of them will be me,
one of them will be me watching you run, watching you run, watching you run into the high noon sun

Sharon Olds, "Sex Without Love" [poem]

How do they do it, the ones who make love
without love?...

... they are like great runners: they know they are alone
with the road surface, the cold, the wind,
the fit of their shoes, their over-all cardio
vascular health--just factors, like the partner
in the bed, and not the truth, which is the
single body alone in the universe
against its own best time.

Oh Yes

Oh Yes

there are worse things than
being alone
but it often takes decades
to realize this
and most often
when you do
it's too late
and there's nothing worse
than
too late.

- Charles Bukowski

Send That Stuff On Down To Me

[Fine Young Gentlemen]

I just want to move the world
I just want to move the world
I just want to move the world
I just want to move

There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes again

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - There She Goes My Beautiful World


Xiu Xiu - I Luv the Valley

It took a long time until I came clean with myself

[girl]

I'd grown clean out of love with my lover
I still love her
loved her more when she used to be sober
And I was kinder
Modest Mouse - Bankrupt on Selling

Rachel Yamagata - Quiet (live)
It'll be just as quiet when i leave, as it was when I first got here
I don't expect anything, I don't expect anything to change when I leave.

If love is a poison cup, then drink it up

'Cause a sip or a spoonful won't do
Won't do nothing for you
Except mess you up

And I hope you know what this means
I'm gonna give you everything

M. Ward - Poison Cup
M. Ward - Vincent O'Brien (live)

Spooning

. . . because truly to enjoy bodily warmth, some small part of you must be cold, for there is no quality in this world that is not what it is merely by contrast. Nothing exists in itself.
Herman Melville; Moby Dick

You don't want to love--your eternal and abnormal craving is to be loved. You aren't positive, you're negative. You absorb, absorb, as if you must fill yourself up with love, because you've got a shortage somewhere.
D.H. Lawrence; Sons and Lovers

You're the shit

and I'm knee deep in it.

I've been hallucinating you, babe

At the backs of other women...

Don't get me wrong, dear
In general I'm doing quite fine
