clavicola:

Come here. We’ll listen to Coltrane and smoke my last cigarette and swap stories about our skin until the sun rises and we can get bagels and almond coffee. (Nights always end too soon and dawn never comes fast enough for all of us to be together to watch it.)

Sounds just about perfect…

Placebo - “Ion”

Been having all kinds of Placebo songs in my head today, with the news about the summer concert and all that - old, new, singles, b-sides, etc. Thought I’d get it over with and post one of them already. This is from the first CD of their “You Don’t Care About Us” single.

Ray LaMontagne - “Empty”

She lifts her skirt up to her knees
Walks through the garden rows with her bare feet, laughing
I never learned to count my blessings
I choose instead to dwell in my disasters

I walk on down the hill
Through (the) grass grown tall and brown
And still it’s hard somehow to let go of my pain
On past the busted back
Of that old and rusted Cadillac
That sinks into this field, collecting rain

Will I always feel this way
So empty, so estranged

And of these cutthroat busted sunsets,
These cold and damp white mornings I have grown weary
If through my cracked and dusty dime-store lips
I spoke these words out loud, would no one hear me?

Lay your blouse across the chair,
Let fall the flowers from your hair
And kiss me with that country mouth so plain
Outside the rain is tapping on the leaves
To me it sounds like they’re applauding us
The quiet love we’ve made

Will I always feel this way
So empty, so estranged

Well I looked my demons in the eyes,
Laid bare my chest, said “Do your best, destroy me.”
You see, I’ve been to hell and back so many times,
I must admit you kinda bore me

Well, there’s a lot of things that can kill a man
There’s a lot of ways to die
Yes and some already dead that walk beside me
There’s a lot of things I don’t understand
Why so many people lie
It’s the hurt I hide that fuels the fire inside me

Will I always feel this way
So empty, so estranged

Moddi - “Smoke”

It’s there, it’s where it begins
And it’s calling your name
You’ve been down there all night now
In a state that I cannot explain
Behind grey curtains of ash
From a word it was born
Now smoke rises high from your head
Morning mist laying dead
On naked shoulders
No flowers, no thorns

Hey love, stay the fuck out of my home
I’ve told you a thousand times
‘Cause my brain tells me you’re dangerous, and my belly says
You’re just too hard to find
A kiss from sullen lips of ashes
Would probably blow this whole winter away
But something tells me this is just not real
Something tells me this smoke is here to stay
It was supposed to be an endless day

Supposed to be and endless day
