I first saw you
You had on blue jeans
Your eyes couldn’t hide anything
I saw you breathing
And I saw you staring out in space
Cowbells?! Sure! I cried a lot to this song when I was 16 and I wasn’t ever sure why - the fragmented and intimate lyrics probably were how I wanted people to think about me after whatever party i barely squeezed my way onto the guest list for and the raw droning guitar interspersed with feedback squeals and expressive drums still send me into a haunting dream of parties of another age with flirting queens and blue jeans and grooving saints - only to knock me back down with a clattering knock of a wooden spoon on a pot?
In any case it is the most beautiful song I know probably
Like Saint Joan
Doing a cool jerk
Oh, I want you
Like a kanga roo

I have someone in mind as I listen to this, but it‘ll never happen. My unrequited love. So I will just feel feelings through music. You would think in your 40s you will be done with these feelings, but it is pervasive for some of us.
Allo darlin’ - dreaming
will you go out with me tonight
lose it on a disco floor
take the night bus with me tonight
frost on the window
it's freezing out here on the pavement
but here in your arms
it's heaven
i can wait for you now
but not forever
i have tried everything i know
to make you understand
this is not a game for broken hearts
played by a lonely band
we've both got so much to lose
but here in your arms
it's heaven
i can wait for you now
but not forever
i was surprised by how happy i was
don't ask why it's just because
down by the harbour in the dawn
it's not a star it's a satellite
the thought of it keeps me from sleeping
or am i already dreaming?

"I want to be your vacuum cleaner, breathing in your dust /
I wanna be your Ford Cortina, I will never rust"
John Cooper Clarke made one of the most romantic songs I've ever heard during this month. Devoting rituals to a person, rubbing lotion into their skin, thinking of them in deep oceans... Our desires are strengthened by pressure, like a muscle. I think JCC exercised that. Being on someone's mind is the greatest form of intimacy between two lovers, true intimacy in wanting to be the chair they sit on, the pillow they sleep on, the dirty engine running their car-- a miasma of devotion. Throughout abstract lyrics, you can make out the faces of our lovers-- a secretive expression of joy on their faces, the posturing of their arms raised high, a divinely muted memory. God, I want to want as much as he does on this song. It's all about want, want, want.
You call the shots. I wanna be yours xx

Full Kate Bush theatrics and all! Ok admittedly I’ve never been to karaoke but I feel like I’ve been training my whole life for this song - I can hit every high note and I have the music video choreography engrained in my mind - I’ve done a few award worthy performances of it any time I’ve heard it played in a public place

I play skyrim (hearthfire expansion>>>) like i play stardew valley, i do cutesy little side quests for the benefit of the community, i have my little homestead and i want to get married and adopt children and i take no notice of the civil war playing out around me...
on the other hand i have modded the sims to almost unplayability (i have a broken extreme violence mod) and try to play that as close to gta as possible
