If you believe or don't, would you mind telling me your favorite songs?
I have two, but I'll just post one because I think one of you will post the other one.
I'm on a Police kick today (thanks, Don :) ), so here's one called "O My God"
***
Everyone I know is lonely
And God's so far away
And my heart belongs to no one
So now sometimes I pray
Take the space between us
Fill it up some way
Take the space between us
Fill it up
Fill it up (x I have no idea)
Oh my God you take the biscuit [the biscuit! I thought he meant an actual biscuit, and I was like, why would god want a biscuit?]
Treating me this way
Expecting me to treat you well
No matter what you say
How can I turn the other cheek
It's black and bruised and torn <-- best line
I've been waiting
Since the day that I was born
The fat man in his garden
The thin man at his gate
My God you must be sleeping
Wake up, it's much too late
[Then they go into a little bit from "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic"]
Synchronicity helped my through a very crap summer. My father sent me to live on my stepfather's family farm in Suffolk, VA. My stepfather was in jail somewhere very, very far from Suffolk. I'd drive us (my mother and younger brother who was a toddler), to visit him. And *that* is how I learned to drive. Driving to a fucking prison. When I was 17. Fucked up childhood for sure.
So three cheers for my Walkman and the Police, because that was a very bad summer.
Don, I blame you for sending me down The Life Road of Shit Memories. But I also don't mind. There's something about getting this business out of my system. Thank you for releasing my unquiet mind, Don.
ETA: This is the song
