narcissistic ramblings

Wednesday, February 02, 2005

god, morrissey's new album, You Are the Quarry, is so good. who makes better music at the end of their career? this is crazy. you must go now and listen to the two songs i'm addicted to from it: You Know I Couldn't Last and Come Back to Camden, and read the lyrics for the latter while you listen to it, sooo pretty..

There is something I wanted to tell you
it’s so funny you’ll kill yourself laughing
but then I look around
and I remember that I am alone / alone / forevermore

The tile yard, all along the railings
up a discoloured dark brown staircase
here you’ll find / despair and I
calling to you with what’s left of my heart / forevermore

Drinking tea with the taste of the Thames
sullenly, on a chair on the pavement
here you’ll find / my thoughts and I
and here is the very last plea from my heart / forevermore

Where taxi drivers never stop talking
under slate-grey Victorian sky
here you’ll find / despair and I
and here I am every last inch of me’s yours / yours / forevermore

Your leg came to rest against mine
then you lounged with knees up and apart
and me and my heart
we knew / we just knew
forevermore

Where taxi-drivers never stop talking
under slate-grey Victorian sky
here you’ll find / my heart and I
and still we say “come back / come back
to Camden and / I’ll be good”
