Friday Random Ten
(love and darkness and my sidearm)
Second week without the Romans; other than that, it’s the same old thing:
1. Troubled Times – Fountains of Wayne (Utopia Parkway)
“When you think you found something worth holding onto,
were reaching for attention, hoping she would notice you…”
2. Nightingale Song – Toad the Wet Sprocket (Fear)
“And little ever changes, if anything at all;
just remind ourselves how small we are…”
3. Desire – U2 (Rattle and Hum)
“Oh sister, I can’t let you go-
-like a preacher stealing hearts at a traveling show…”
4. Don’t Panic – Coldplay (Parachutes)
“Bones, sinking like stones, all that we fall for;
homes, places we’ve grown, all of us are done for.”
5. When You Come – Crowded House (Recurring Dream…)
“When you come like an iceberg float in darkness,
smashing my hull send me to the bottom of the sea…”
6. South Side – Moby (Play)
“See myself in the pouring rain;
I watch hope come over me.”
7. Shackled – Vertical Horizon (Everything You Want)
“I know now what trouble can be,
and why it follows me so easily”
8. People Asking Why – Seal (Seal [1994])
“How do I get to where I’ve come from?
How will I paint this garden I’ve destroyed green?”
9. Bright Future in Sales – Fountains of Wayne (Welcome Interstate Managers)
“I try to focus, I’m staring at the screen,
pretending like I know what all these little flashing lights mean.”
10. Electioneering – Radiohead (OK Computer)
“I will stop, I will stop at nothing,
say the right things, when electioneering.”
