Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
I'm ten years burning down the road
Nowhere to run, ain't got nowhere to go...

And now you send me your hardened regards
When once you'd send me love
Sincerely I must tell you
Your mild best wishes
They make me suspicious
I don't mind
I don't mind if you forget me.
The dream is fading, now I’m staring at the door
I know its over cause my feet have hit the cold floor
Check my reflection, I ain’t feelin what I see
It’s no mystery
Whatever happened to a passion I could live for
What became of the flame that made me feel more
And when did I forget...
"If I knew where good songs came from I'd go there more often." Leonard Cohen
"I’ve always held the song in high regard because songs have got me through so many sinks of dishes..." Leonard Cohen
Friend or foe, stranger or friend
All who come, begin again
Hard or frail, rich or poor
All in need, need fear no more

Cloud Shadow on the Mountain by Wolf Parade
I was asleep in a hammock,
I was dreaming that I was a web.
I was a dreamcatcher hanging in the window of a mini-van
parking along the water’s edge.
I’d say that I was all alone,
I’d say that I was all alone,
I’d say that I was all alone,
but I will never be born as a scorpion.
You’re gonna be okay come morning,
find your legs and find your horns.
Everybody’s gotta be reborn,
but never be born as a scorpion.
Oh! – Everybody’s gotta gotta be reborn
but you will never be born as a scorpion.
They said :
"There's too much caffeine
In your bloodstream
And a lack of real spice
In your life..."
Three words could change my life
Yet you treat me like you never care...
I know why you're dreaming, because it's the only escape
"Oh Marcello,
Never thought I'd really love you but I do, so
My head waiter's head on your platter-
Just say the word and Salome can kiss my gutters.
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good-
Oh, Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood.
Understood?"
Regina Spektor- 'Oh, Marcello!'

"The moment art surrenders its imaginative medium it surrenders everything"
Oscar Wilde, The Decay of Lying
Love conquers poses, love smashes stances, love crushes angels into black
Pete Townshend - Stop Hurting People
And I am hated for loving
I am haunted for wanting...
I know why you're dreaming, because it's the only escape
"Oh Glenn
Oh Glenn
Don't come to the house tonight
Because there's somebody here
Who'll take a hatchet to your ear
The frustration it renders me
Hateful, oh..."
UB40 - "One In Ten"
"I am the one in ten
A number on a list
I am the one in ten
Even though I don't exist
Nobody knows me
Even though I'm always there
A statistic, a reminder
Of a world that doesn't care ..."
that music you play;
I'm not saying it's bad.
It just seems terribly sad.
Is everything
alright?
And make no mistake, my friend
Your pointless life will end
But before you go
Can you look at the truth?
"The man on the door has a head like Mars
Like a baby born to the doors of the bars
And surrounded by steam with his folded arms
He's got that urban genie thing going on
He's so mercifully free of the pressures of grace
Saint Peter in satin, he's like Buddha with mace."
Forget Myself, Elbow
Always kinda sorta wished I was someone else.
"Just when things are getting complicated in the eye of the storm
She flicks a red-hot revelation off the tip of her tongue
It does a dozen somersaults and it leaves you supercharged
Makes me wanna blow her candles out just to see if you glow in the dark"
