Songs That Say All the Things You Need To Say But Don’t Have the Words To Do it
Been feeling down and out these last few weeks. Whenever I get like this, I just can’t seem to listen to music- I tend to skip halfway through everything cos nothing is quite making it there- looking for that feeling, that one mood which will both elevate and alleviate this funk I’m in. Been getting obsessive with Tom Waits, but his particular brand of drunken swagger doesn’t quite sum this up- I’m not swaggering, that’s for sure…more waiting in the corner for the tremors to turn into something more substantial. I put this song on today and it said everything I needed it to. Full of doubt and conviction, all at once, nothing with precedence- everything a truthful lie- just keep telling yourself it’s true.
Never As Tired As When I’m Waking Up- LCD Soundsystem
Wasted and complacent
and you about the same
but still i want to get it
on with you tonight
when i was a little boy
i laid down in the grass
i’m sure you’d feel the same
if i could fuck you here tonight
but i’m never as tired as when i’m waking up
i’m never as tired as when i’m waking up
but it feels like i’m in love again
oh it feels like i’m in love again
though it feels like i’m in love again
with what you do
if we made it happen
i’m sure what we would do
run outside and fuck someone
to show it didn’t mean a thing
seems it could be simple
if i could just grow up
never gonna get it now
cause i’ll never grow
but i’m never as tired as when i’m waking up
i’m never as tired as when i’m waking up
but it feels like i’m in love again
oh it feels like i’m in love again
though it feels like i’m in love again
with what you do
but not with you
(keep on telling myself it’s true)
but not with you
(keep on telling myself it’s true)
but not with you
(keep on telling myself it’s true)
but not with you
(keep on telling myself it’s true)
but not with you
(keep on telling myself it’s true)
but not with you
(just keep on telling myself it’s true)
but not with you
(just keep on telling myself it’s true)
but not with you
(just keep on telling myself it’s true)
