70 Favorite Songs: 1. Ballerina

15 January 2008

 
I’ll never feel the weight of your hands
Inside mine like diamonds
Lace so fine ballerina
Cupcake and my earthquake
Wakes me from my sleep that
Never comes, are you breathing
Waiting for me
I didn’t really want you
But I want you now
Was so foolish of me
Feel you tumbling down
Into that empty room
The lights went out
I want to rescue want to scream [...]

70 Favorite Songs: 2. Bizarre Love Triangle

14 January 2008

Every time I think of you
I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue
It’s no problem of mine
But it’s a problem I find
Living a life that I can’t leave behind
But there’s no sense in telling me
The wisdom of the fool won’t set you free
But that’s the way that it goes
And it’s what nobody knows
well [...]

70 Favorite Songs: 3. Bob Dylan

12 January 2008

 
Bobby’s in the basement making his movie,
He paints a little picture but not to be cheesy.
He wants this little girl to believe in him easy,
Bristles to the canvas imagining he feels high.
Inspiration of my heart search for light out of the dark.
All the pictures in my heart lie awake there in my fog.
This oasis in [...]

70 Favorite Songs: 4. The Book of Love

10 January 2008

 
The book of love is long and boring
No one can lift the damn thing
It’s full of charts and facts and figures and instructions for dancing
But I
I love it when you read to me
And you
You can read me anything
The book of love has music in it
In fact that’s where music comes from
Some of it is just [...]

70 Favorite Songs: 5. Both Sides Now

9 January 2008

 
Rows and flows of angel hair, and ice cream castles in the air,
and feathered canyons everywhere, I’ve looked at love that way,
but now they only block the sun. They rain and snow on everyone.
So many things I would have done, but clouds got in my way.
I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now,
from up and [...]

70 Favorite Songs: 6. Careless Whisper

8 January 2008

 
Time can never mend the careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind, ignorance is kind
there’s no comfort in the truth
pain is all you’ll find
Should’ve known better
I feel so unsure as I take your hand
And lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen [...]
