my song for the day - death letter
I got a letter this morning, what do you reckon it read?
It said the girl you love is dead
I got a letter this morning what do you reckon it read?
Said, Hurry hurry, because the gal you love is dead
Well I packed up my suitcase, took off down the road
When I got there she was, laying on the cooling board
Packed up my suitcase and I took off down the road
When I got there she was laying on the cooling board
It looked like ten thousand people standing around the burying ground
I didnt know I loved her, til they began to let her down
looked like ten thousand, people standing around the burying ground
I didnt know I loved her, til they began to let her down
You know its so hard to love someone that dont love you
Dont look like satisfaction, dont care what you do
so hard to love someone that dont love you
Dont look like satisfaction, and I dont care what you do
Well I got up this morning the break of day
just hugging the pillow, she used to lay
got up this morning would you believe the break of day
just hugging the pillow, where my baby used to lay

:: Music: smashing pumpkins - thirty-three

one of the most beautiful songs ever written
speak to me in a language i can hear
humor me before i have to go
deep in thought i forgive everyone
as the cluttered streets greet me once again
i know i can't be late
supper's waiting on the table
tomorrow's just an excuse away
so i pull my collar up and face the cold, on my own
the earth laughs beneath my heavy feet
at the blasphemy in my old jangly walk
steeple guide me to my heart and home
the sun is out and up and down again
i know i'll make it, love can last forever
graceful swans of never topple to the earth
and you can make it last, forever you
can make it last, forever you
and for a moment i lose myself
wrapped up in the pleasures of the world
i've journeyed here and there and back again
but in the same old haunts i still find my friends
mysteries not ready to reveal
sympathies i'm ready to return
i'll make the effort, love can last forever
graceful swans of never topple to the earth
tomorrow's just an excuse
tomorrow's just an excuse
and you can make it last, forever you
can make it last, forever you
forever you

grabbed from stephanie's journal
In a comment sum up your thoughts about me in one word. Then put this in your own journal to see what everyone thinks of you.

no, no, no. i have a better idea. give a word that doesn't describe me. that'll be more fun.

so the other night i had a totally fab dream featuring me, of course, and jack white. yee! i enjoyed it very much. even though the best of my dreams always have some pretty messed up parts too. my brain is lame like that. but overall, it was nice.
now everyone go d/l "it's true that we love one another" by the white stripes. and if you don't laugh, you have no soul ;o)
