because I am a hopelessly romantic over-dramatic sop, and sometimes songs speak to my heart about make-believe characters I play over the internet.

songs in comments, because constantly editing this page for every new song would be preposterous. Anyone can add a song, mind, just please fill out the template:



thanx.

People Say by Portugal. The Man
Save me,
I can't be saved,
I won't.
I'm a president's son,
I don't need no soul.

14th Street by Rufus Wainwright
Don't ever change,
Don't ever worry
Because I'm coming back home
Tomorrow
To 14th Street,
Where I won't hurry
And where I'll learn how to save,
Not just borrow
And they'll be rainbows
And we will finally know

Extraordinary Machine by Fiona Apple
I notice that my opponent is always on the go
And won't go slow, so's not to focus, and I notice
He'll hitch a ride along with any guide, as long as
They go fast from whence he came
But he's no good at being uncomfortable, so
He can't stop staying exactly the same.

If there was a better way to go then it would find me
I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me
Be kind to me, or treat me mean
I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine

I seem to you to seek a new disaster every day
You deem me due to clean my view and be at peace and lay
I mean to prove I mean to move in my own way, and say,
I've been getting along for long before you came into the play

Jenny Don't Be Hasty by Paolo Nutini
I did not think you cared.
There'd be no problems here
But now you're looking at me like you're disgusted
Then I'm definitely waiting for you to smile and change your mind
Then I'll say I'm sorry and I'll wrap my arms 'round your body
I really hope that you forgive in a hurry
And don't just ask me to leave

I And Love And You by The Avett Brothers
All one foot in and one foot back
But it don't pay, to live like that
So I cut the ties and I jumped the tracks
For never to return

Fallen Angel by Elbow
You don't need to sleep alone
You bring the house down
Choose your favourite shoes
And keep your blues on cruise control

We Both Go Down Together by The Decemberists
You come from parents wanton
A childhood rough and rotten
I come from wealth and beauty
Untouched by work or duty

Oxford Comma by Vampire Weekend
Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma?
I've seen those English dramas too, they're cruel
So if there's any other way to spell the word
It's fine with me, with me

Why would you speak to me that way?
Especially when I always said that I
Haven't got the words for you
All your diction dripping with disdain
Through the pain
I always tell the truth

Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma?
I climbed to Dharamsala too, I did
I met the highest Lama, his accent sounded fine
To me, to me

Wet And Rusting by Menomena
It's hard to take risks with a pessimist
It's hard to take risks
I hope one will burn me, I know you'll desert me
(This is the closest I've come to touching you the way I want)
The hope can be painful, I'll try to be faithful
(It's hard to take risks)

Danny Boy by Rufus Wainwright
Your skin is cold, but the sun shines within your hold
Your hair is gold, but you see through a goldfish bowl
I feel old, sick and tired
We walk the streets, gently staring, wondering what to do
The sun in sheets, pouring down those streets to eyes green and blue
And a ship with eight sails could come 'round the bend
Or a herd of bulls charging stop lighs red
I'd be blind to both.

A Chantar m'er by Beatriz de Dia
Mais aitan plus voill li digas, messatges,
qu'en trop d'orgoill an gran dan maintas gens.

But I especially want you, messenger, to tell him
That many people suffer for having too much pride.
