Verses

"Battle For The Sun"
Placebo

I, I, I will battle for the Sun, Sun, Sun,
And I, I, I won’t stop until I’m done, done, done,
You, you, you are getting in the way, way, way,
And I, I, I have nothing left to say, say, say…

I, I, I, I, I will brush off all the dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt,
And I, I, I, I, I will pretend it didn’t hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt,
You, you, you, you, you are a black and heavy weight, weight, weight, weight, weight, weight, weight,
And I, I, I, I, I will not participate, pate, pate, pate, pate, pate, pate, pate…

Dream brother, My killer, My lover
Dream brother, My killer, My brother

I, I, I will battle for the Sun, Sun, Sun, Sun,
’cause, I, I, I have stared down the barrel of a gun, gun, gun, gun,
No fun, you, you, you, you, you are a cheap and nasty, fake, fake, fake, fake, fake,
And I, I, I, I, I am the bones you couldn’t break, break, break, break, break, break, break, break…

Dream brother, My killer, My lover
Dream brother, My killer, My brother

I, I, I will battle for the Sun.

"Zero"
Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Shake it like a ladder to the sun
Makes me feel like a madman on the run
Find me, never, never far gone
So get your leather, leather, leather on on on on

Your zero
What's your name?
No one's gonna ask you
Better find out where they want you to go

Try and hit the spot
Get to know it in the dark
Get to know it whether you're
Crying, crying, crying, oh oh
Can you climb, climb, climb higher

Shake it like a ladder to the sun
Makes me feel like a madman on the run
No you're never, never far gone
So get your leather, leather, leather on on on on

Your zero
What's your name?
No one's gonna ask you
Better find out where they want you to go

Try and hit the spot
Get to know it in the dark
Get to know it whether you're
Crying, crying, crying, oh oh
Can you climb, climb, climb higher

Was it the cure?
Shellshock!
Was it the cure?
Hope not!
Was it the cure?
Shellshock!
Was it the cure?
What's your name?

Your zero
What's your name?
No one's gonna ask you
Better find out where they want you to go

Try and hit the spot
Get to know it in the dark
Get to know it whether you're
Crying, crying, crying, oh oh
Can you climb, climb, climb higher

Was it the cure?
Shellshock!
Was it the cure?
Hope not!
Was it the cure?
Shellshock!
Was it the cure?
Hope not!

What's your name? (x7)

I'm OK. You're OK.

Eh, somebody I'm friends with on the dreaded MySpace added this song on their profile...that's not so important. What is important is that it reminded me that this is my mom's 2nd or 3rd favorite GNR song ever...

Somewhere in 1991, there's a little boy riding to catholic school in a Mazda 626 with this song blasting, quietly wondering what will become of him...

A Song For You

We've been going through a lot of shit lately here in the A&P offices. All "High and Low," as we do. It's been the longest week in Alpha's life for a few reasons as far as he can tell (how they decide to finally come out of the woodwork when you're most vulnerable), but things are looking up for the most part. Able brought up the Divine Miss Fiona Apple a few days ago, and, lost in a daze, I stumbled upon this amazing performance I missed during that time I didn't have cable. Fiona manages to get the most appropriate cover songs, more so than any other artists I heart. Kills me softly with every one of them. This, I do reckon, is her finest. You can just tell how much it pains her. Thankfully, anyone wise to her ways understands how much she loves it. Attagirl....
