What the hell is that JC?

Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

What the hell is that JC?

Well some people try to pick up girls
And get called assholes
This never happened to Pablo Picasso
He could walk down your street
And girls could not resist his stare and
So Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole

Well the girls would turn the color
Of the avocado when he would drive
Down their street in his El Dorado
He could walk down your street
And girls could not resist his stare
Pablo Picasso never got called an asshole
Not like you
Alright

Well he was only 5'3"
But girls could not resist his stare
Pablo Picasso never got called an asshole
Not in New York

Oh well be not schmuck, be not obnoxious,
Be not bellbottom bummer or asshole
Remember the story of Pablo Picasso
He could walk down your street
And girls could not resist his stare
Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole
Alright this is it

Some people try to pick up girls
And they get called an asshole
This never happened to Pablo Picasso
He could walk down your street
And girls could not resist his stare and so
Pablo Picasso was never called...

Hey ho, let's go
Hey ho, let's go

They're forming in a straight line
They're going through a tight wind
The kids are losing their minds
The Blitzkrieg Bop

They're piling in the back seat
They're generating steam heat
Pulsating to the back beat
The Blitzkrieg Bop.

Hey ho, let's go
Shoot'em in the back now
What they want, I don't know
They're all reved up and ready to go

(And yes, I was bouncing around the room to it )

 

[northernhord]

Across the sand under a crescent moon
In celebration of our fears
And rumours circulating in the street
The candle burns the world awaits

We ask is this some kind of victory?
Where is the dream, where is the sanity?

As crying echoes down the corridors
The child comes running to his mother's arms
And all the things I hold so dear to me
I love my wife, I love my family

Raise up your heads and voices
The promise of beyond
With courage face the moment
Remember who you are!

A frightened people losing dignity
The shadow of an island in their minds
While fools are bent on making history
With nothing gained, is this our destiny?

 

[felixthecat]

having a punk morning..............

Went to a party
I danced all night
I drank 16 beers
And I started up a fight

But now I am jaded
You're out of luck
I'm rolling down the stairs
Too drunk to fuck

Too drunk to fuck
Too drunk to fuck
Too drunk, to fuck
I'm too drunk, too drunk, too drunk
To fuck

I like your stories
I love your gun
Shooting out truck tires
Sounds like loads and loads of fun

But in my room
Wish you were dead
You ball like the baby
In Eraserhead

Too drunk to fuck
Too drunk to fuck
Too drunk, to fuck
It's all I need right now
Too drunk to fuck

Too drunk to fuck
Too drunk to fuck
Too drunk, to fuck
I'm sick soft gooey and cold
Too drunk to fuck

I'm about to drop
My head's a mess
The only salvation is
I'll never see you again

You give me head
It makes it worse
Take out your fuckin' retainer
Put it in your purse

I'm too drunk to fuck
You're to drunk to fuck
Too drunk to fuck
It's all I need right now Oh baby
I'm melting like an ice cream bar
Oh baby

And now I got diarrhea
Too drunk to fuck
Yeah, Yeah
Yeah, Yeah
Yeah, Yeah
Oooohhh

 

[foamy]

you'll take advantage 'til you think you're being used
cause without an enemy your anger gets confused
i got stuck on the side you know, i never chose
but it's all about taking the easy way out for you i suppose.

there's no escape for you except in someone else
although you've already disappeared within yourself
the invisible man who's always changing clothes
it's all about taking the easy way out for you i suppose.

well i don't want you making mistakes
i wish you luck i really do
but the problem with the puzzle
whatever's left to you.

i heard you found another audience to bore
a creative thinker who imagined you were more
a new body for you to push around and pose
it's all about taking the easy way out for you i suppose
it's all about taking the easy way out for you i suppose

 

[foamy]

drink up, baby, stay up all night
the things you could do, you won't but you might
the potential you'll be that you'll never see
the promises you'll only make.

drink up with me now and forget all about the pressure of days
do what i say and i'll make you okay and drive them away
the images stuck in your head.

people you've been before that you don't want around anymore
that push and shove and won't bend to your will
i'll keep them still.

drink up, baby, look at the stars, i'll kiss you again
between the bars where i'm seeing you
there with your hands in the air waiting to finally be caught.

drink up one more time and i'll make you mine
keep you apart deep in my heart separate from the rest
where i like you the best
and keep the things you forgot.

the people you've been before that you don't want around anymore
that push and shove and won't bend to your will
i'll keep them still

 

[Roadkill]

Come all you maids who live at a distance
Many miles from off your swain
Come and assist me this very moment
For to pass away some time
Singing sweetly and completely
Songs of pleasure and of love
For my heart is with him all together
Though I live not where I love

When I sleep I dream about you
When I wake I find no rest
For every moment thinking of you
My heart e'er fixed in your breast
Though far distance may be assistance
From my mind his love to remove
Yet my heart is with him all together
Though I live not where I love

All the world shall be one religion
Living things shall cease to die
Before that I prove false to my jewel
Or any way my love deny
The world shall change and be most strange
If ever I inconstant prove
For my heart is with him all together
Though I live not where I love

So farewell lads and farewell lasses
Now I think I've got my choice
I will away to yonder city
Where I think I hear his voice
And if he calls then I will follow
Through the world though it is so wide
For my heart is with him all together
Though I live not where I love

Come all you maids who live at a distance
Many miles from off your swain
Come and assist me this very moment
For to pass away some time
Singing sweetly and completely
Songs of pleasure and of love
For my heart is with him all together
Though I live not where I love

(Trad, arr. Tim Hart and Maddy Prior)

It rather sums up how I'm feeling atm...

 

[Boris Sprinkler]

Have you ever walked the lonesome hills
And heard the curlews cry
Or seen the raven black as night
Upon a windswept sky
To walk the purple heather
And hear the westwind cry
To know that's where the rapparee must die

Since Cromwell pushed us westward
To live our lowly lives
There's some of us have deemed to fight
From Tipperary mountains high
Noble men with wills of iron
Who are not afraid to die
Who'll fight with gaelic honour held on high

A curse upon you Oliver Cromwell
You who raped our Motherland
I hope you're rotting down in hell
For the horrors that you sent
To our misfortunate forefathers
Whom you robbed of their birthright
"To hell or Connaught" may you burn in hell tonight

Of one such man I'd like to speak
A rapparee by name and deed
His family dispossessed and slaughtered
They put a price upon his head
His name is know in song and story
His deeds are legends still
And murdered for blood money
Was young Ned of the hill

You have robbed our homes and fortunes
Even drove us from our land
You tried to break our spirit
But you'll never understand
The love of dear old Ireland
That will forge and iron will
As long as there are gallant men
Like young Ned of the hill

 

[Roadkill]

And another one I can empathise with right now...


When routine bites hard and ambitions are low
and resentment rides high but emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways, taking different roads

Then love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again

Why is the bedroom so cold? You've turned away on your side
Is my timing that flawed our respect runs so dry?
Yet there's still this appeal that we've kept through our lives

But love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again

You cry out in your sleep, all my failings exposed
And there's a taste in my mouth as desperation takes hold
Is it something so good just can't function no more

And love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again

I'm sure I'll be crucified by saying I don't like Joy Division much and the original version of this song leaves me cold, but I love the acoustic version sung by June Tabor and John Jones.

 

[Roadkill]

And another one...

I met a man whose brother said
he knew a man who knew the Oxford girl...

Is it true what you hear,
did he do it out of fear?
Was the day drawing near when a child
would start to show?
Was it rage or shame or the damage to his name?
Was it something worse,
does anybody know?

Did she pay a price
for making them look twice?
Like a glimpse of paradise
across a dull and bitter land?
Did she pass them by,
did she dare to meet their eye?
Did she scorn them all
and did they understand?

A grief to her father
- did she really leave him?
a lover to her brother
- yes we all believe him
temptation to her betters
- no better than she should be
unfaithful to her lover
- he always knew she would be

She says: I never had a chance
to prove them wrong
My time was short, the story long
No I never had a chance
to prove them wrong
it's always them that write the song

Did he go to ground,
was the suitcase ever found?
Did the police come swarming round
on a trail already cold?
Did he lead them a dance,
did he ran away to France?
did he shop himself before the day was old?

O she was bound to lose
if she set her face to choose
They never could excuse her
for stirring up their fears
She was much too young,
now the earth has stopped her tongue
You can hear the voices
calling down the years

She says: I never had a chance
to prove them wrong
My time was short, the story long
No I never had a chance
to prove them wrong
It's always them that write the song

I met a man whose brother said
he knew a man who knew the Oxford girl...

(Oysterband)


I love this song.

 

[felixthecat]

'You've been cryin'
Your face is a mess
Come in baby
You can dry the tears on my dress
She's hurt you again
I can tell
Oh, i know that look so well

Don't be shy
You've been here before
Pull your shoes off, lie down
And i will lock the door

And no-one has to know
You've come here again
Darling it will be
Like it's always been before
Come on over here

Breakfast in bed
And a kiss or three
You don't have to say you love me
Breakfast in bed
Nothing need be said
Ain't no need

What's your hurry?
Please don't eat and run
You can let her wait, my darling
It's been so long
Since i've had you here
You will come again
Darling it will be
Like it's always been before
Hey child

Breakfast in bed
And a kiss or three
You don't have to say you love me
Breakfast in bed
Nothing need be said

Breakfast in bed
And a kiss or three
You don't have to say you love me
Breakfast in bed
Nothing need be said, yeah
You don't have to'

And as usual the fucking song has made me cry

 

[tufty79]

Friend of Mine
Hey, where the hell are you
You don't call me back, John
Won't you come here and stay with me
Why don't you come here and stay with me

Hey, where the hell are you
You don't call me back, John
Won't you come here and stay with me
Why don't you come here and stay with me

Show up here loaded with bells on your toes
I don't care what you're into
I'll put velvet ropes around you, if that's what you need

Why did you listen to that man, that man's a balloon
Oh, you gotta get out and get back to me
John, you gotta get out and get back to me

Why did you listen to that man, that man's a balloon
Oh, you gotta get out and get back to me
Take his limousine, you gotta get back to me

I'm getting nervous
na, na, na, na, na, na, na
No sign of a friend of mine
na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Red hair and blue eyes
I'm getting nervous
na, na, na, na, na, na, na
No sign of a friend of mine

I was in a train under a river when I remembered what
What I wanted to tell you, man
What I wanted to tell you, man
I got two sets of headphones, I miss you like hell
Won't you come here and stay with me
Why don't you come here and stay with me

I'm getting nervous
na, na, na, na, na, na, na
No sign of a friend of mine
na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Red hair and blue eyes
I'm getting nervous
na, na, na, na, na, na, na
No sign of a friend of mine
na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Why did you listen to that man, that man's a balloon
Oh, you gotta get out and get back to me
Why did you listen to that man, that man's a balloon
John, you gotta get out and get back to me
Why did you listen to that man, that man's a balloon
Fake a heart attack, you gotta get back to me
Why did you listen to that man, that man's a balloon
John, you gotta get out and get back to me

 

[tufty79]

It Never Happened

We look younger than we feel
and older than we are
now nobody's funny
no god, they took our fashion week
that's a real bad thing
cause we have scars to cover

now I forget how to think
so crack my skull
rearrange me

lover put me in your beautiful bed
and cover me
lover put me in your beautiful bed

Nothing made a sound in Williamstown that night
and all the air was empty
then what to my wondering eyes should appear
nothing, cause nothing ever happens here

now I forget how to think
so crack my skull
rearrange me

lover put me in your beautiful bed
and cover me
lover put me in your beautiful bed

nothing ever happened here
nothing ever happened here
bad things never happen to the beautiful

(sorry, i'm having a kind of put it on the stereo and sing at the top of your lungs morning)

 

[tufty79]

the tears ran from my eyes last night
the blood ran from my nose last night
she could have left some other time
she left last night, loene's no longer mine

she stole the clothes right off my back
she made up for all that i lack
i loved her legs, her smile and everything inbetween
oh, come back to me loene.

i said oh, loene,
tell me how? how can it be?
oh, come back to me loene.

je t'adore, les filles, et les jolies femmes
depuis quand la belle etait bonne
vouz avez rien, je t'aime pas ces jours
je voudrais savoir ou est l'amour?
oh, l'amour?
tu ne l'as pas, amant, tu ne l'as pas.

my legs are sore, my mouth is dry.
i wash the blood from off my thigh
some day i'll meet somebody new
i'll do to them what was done to me by you

i said oh, loene
how? how could it be?
i said oh, loene
oh, come back to me loene.

 

[frogwoman]

I feel so useless
So pointless
Nothing left for me to say
Laying in the corner
Can I make this go away?
To let these curdled tears flow
Burning from my soul
How can I exist
If I could just
Let it all go

 

[frogwoman]

Rip your God
Fuck hopeless self
Anti love you hold dear
Douse yourself in evil
Thought repression of your fear
Darkness likes to toy with you
As you walk through the night
Pillage through your conscience mind
The epideral blight
Feeding my anguish
This life is born of pain
Deleted memory
This world's gone mad
Divine infection

 

[frogwoman]

As we fall, our descent will be through our darkest dreams
Our reflections, just a memory of our lives past
See the world standing still through blood stained glass
You know that the pain won't subside when you're so weak
Embrace the cold breath of truth
And we won't be in this world
To hear the cries of the feeble or the meek
Inside the nothingness
Floods with insecurity
We're burning from within for something we can't reach
And in the end there's nothing left
This stagnant world is at an end
The mirror questions our worth every day
And we can't live up to it's expectations
Fills us with the hope of dreams that we can't live up to
Inside the nothingness floods with insecurity
And I'm burning from within for something I can't reach
And in the end there's nothing left for me

 

[frogwoman]

"Insanity"...Just a word used to sum up
all the things they've heard;
All my deeds...all the blood...all the drugs...

What I did to those pretty little girls...

Pieces that were missing in the puzzle I created.

Children in the streets...
Lying decapitated,
inviscerated, with their tongues cut out.

"What demon could do this?"
people like to ask.
I read the tabloids...
I like to laugh!

I am the monster from their dreams.
I am what they'd like to be!

I can get away with this!
I can be free!
I can walk down your street
and you wouldn't even notice me!

I am the malcontent
that slips through the cracks.
I am a nightmare
that always comes back.

I cannot be caught!
I am above the law!
The blood of millions rampant in my mind,
no reparation for my crimes.

I am a criminal only in thought,
I'll plunge this knife into your heart!
Trust in you was a lost cause...
Faith in God was a lost cause...

A darkened corridor slick with bloodshed.
A hand that is mine...spattered in red.
Trust in this was a lost cause...
Faith in this was a lost cause...

Screams that are muffled...
drowned out, drowned out,
out of breath.

Screams that are muffled...
drowned out, drowned out,
out of breath.

Run, run, you can't hide;
Hide, hide, but you'll die;
Run, run, you can't hide;
Run, run, you can't hide.

I am the monster from your dreams!
I am what you'd like to be!

I am the malcontent
that slips through the cracks.
I am the nightmare
that always comes back.

I cannot be caught!
I am above the law!
I cannot be caught!
I am above the law!

Not law. Not god. No faith.
Humanity is not what I suffer from...
Humanity is not what I suffer from!

 

[foamy]

You and I are victims of a love
That lost a lot in the translation
When I think of all the time that I spent
Sitting on the edge of your bed in anticipation
Of you giving in and us living in sin

A hot day, the smell of hairspray
And the sound of a shower running softly
It's things like this that remind me of how I felt
The first time you came back for coffee
The way you took it amazed me

Walking in the park, kissing in the dark
And my head against your pillow
Late at night a lover sings
Adam and Eve are finding out all about love
I say Adam and Eve are finding out all about love

There is no real substitute
For a ball struck squarely and firmly
And you're the kind of girl who wants to
open up the bottle of pop
Too early in the journey
Our love went flat just like that

It doesn't matter the colour of the car
But what goes on beneath the bonnet
Is there a flag that flies above your heart
And is my name writ there upon it
Wedding cake and toothache
Equals love and pain

Walking in the park, kissing on the carpet
And your tights around your ankles
Late at night a lover thinks of these things
Adam and Eve are finding out all about love
I say Adam and Eve are finding out all about love
Adam and Eve are finding out all about
Adam and Eve are finding out all about love
Teresa and Steve are finding out all about love

Spike heels and skin tight jeans
I've got a fist full of love that's coming your way baby
Spike heels and skin tight jeans
I've got a fist full of love that's coming your way baby
Spike heels and skin tight jeans
I've got a fist full of love that's coming your way baby

I'm hanging on a wire
Spike heels and skin tight jeans
I've got a fist full of love that's coming your way baby
Come baby come you know what I mean

And the drum beat's rising higher
Bang goes my self control
I got your name on my face your face on my mind
Baby come baby come graffiti my soul

We should be getting it on
Fly DJs playing my song
Why don't you take me head on
We should be getting somewhere
Some kind of cool love affair
Don't act as if you don't care
(You dream of touching me there)

Your kisses taste of Cyanide
And that's no good for me
An open heart is suicide
In my phillosophy

I need a walking talking mannequin
That simply folds away
And never questions anything
I've got to say

N-n-n-n-n-n-n no more explanations
You're never gonna know
You could k-k-k-k kill my reputation
I don't do heavy loads

N-n-n-n-n-n-n no more conversations
You c-c-c-c-c-c can't carve up the world
It's a d-d-d-d dangerous occupation
T-t-t-t-t talking to a girl

I'm complicated
And I celebrate it
You're getting jaded
But you're fascinated

I'm complicated
(Out the bedroom, down the stairs)
And I celebrate it
(Along the carpet, no one cares)
You tell me you hate it
(On the table, on to the floor)
But you're fascinated
(It's procreation and nothing more)

D-d-d-d-d-d dance if you want till the dirty is done
Cos we're stars in the dead of the night
But if you're looking for romance or a chance to reflect in the sun
Baby I'm gonna put up a fight
And you can d-d-d-d dance if you want till you fall out of space
And you crash in the back of the car
But if you wanna have the kids and the cash then get out of my face
Don't push my love too far

I'm hanging on a wire
Spike heels and skin tight jeans
I've got a fist full of love that's coming your way baby
Come baby come you know what I mean

And the drum beat's rising higher
Bang goes my self control
I got your name on my face your face on my mind
Baby come baby come graffiti my soul
Baby come baby come graffiti my soul

Baby come baby come graffiti my soul
And the drum beat's rising higher
Bang goes my self control
I got your name on my face your face on my mind
Baby come baby come graffiti my soul

 

[foamy]

My baby don't mess around
Because she loves me so
And this I know for sure.

But does she really want to,
But can't stand to see me
Walk out the door?

Don't try to fight the feeling
Because the thought alone is killing me right now..

Thank god for mum and dad
For sticking through together
'Cause we don't know how...
We don't know how.

You think you've got it
Ohh, you think you've got it
But got it just don't get it
Till' there's nothing at all.

We been together
Ohh, we been together
But seperate's always better when there's feelings involved.

If what they say is "Nothing, nothing's forever"
so why are you here together?
why are you here?

because there's nothing left to prove.
nothing will last for ever.
nothing, nothing at all.

 

[foamy]

Come up to meet you, tell you Im sorry
You dont know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions
Oh lets go back to the start
Running in circles, coming up tails
Heads on a silence apart

Nobody said it was easy
Oh its such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said that it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start
I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling your puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh its such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
Im going back to the start

 

[foamy]

I'm so glad I've found this
I'm so glad I did
I'm so glad I've found this
I'm so glad I did

People are fragile things, you should know by now
Be careful what you put them through
People are fragile things, you should know by now
You'll speak when you're spoken to

It breaks when you don't force it
It breaks when you don't try
It breaks if you don't force it
It breaks if you don't try

People are fragile things, you should know by now
Be careful what you put them through
People are fragile things, you should know by now
You'll speak when you're spoken to

With one hand you calm me
With one hand I'm still
With one hand you calm me
With one hand I'm still

People are fragile things, you should know by now
Be careful what you put them through
People are fragile things, you should know by now
You'll speak when you're spoken to

 

[frogwoman]

In a world of greed and vain
Can’t we see we’re made of the same
Fighting each other without a regret
Where’s our mind that keeps us back

I won't play this wicked game
I won't follow your stupid plans
Am I the one who makes you feel
What it's like to cry?

We’re all made of the same
We’re all made of the same
Respect and tolerance
Things that we forgot

Forgotten words are told
Forgotten dreams are born
We’re all made of the same
Things that we are not

Blind eyes are watching me
Cold hands are touching me
I forgot what I've been
I will never be the same

I can't stand all this horror
In this hellish place to live
Respect what you are not
And tolerate the difference

We’re all made of the same
We’re all made of the same
Respect and tolerance
Things that we forgot

Forgotten words are told
Forgotten dreams are born
We’re all made of the same
Things that we are not

Turn off the light, the show begins; we hide ourselves in innocence
Enough is enough

The truth is hard to comprehend; accept the loss of common sense
Enough is enough

We’re always falling to the ground, destroying everything we own
Enough is enough

How many tears still must be shed until the last one understand
Enough is enough

First when the rain keeps falling and our world stops turning
Another candle-light still burning, even if the tide won’t turning

A false conclusion leads into disputes; it’s time to replace the existing rules
Enough is enough

How many bombs must be dropped till we see, the worst crime of it all is our apathy
Enough is enough

First when the rain keeps falling and our world stops turning
Another candle-light still burning, even if the tide won’t turning

First when the rain keeps falling and our world stops turning
Another candle-light still burning, even if the tide won’t turning

Au suivant au suivant
Tout nu dans ma serviette qui me servait de pagne
J'avais le rouge au front et le savon à la main
Au suivant au suivant
J'avais juste vingt ans et nous étions cent vingt
A être le suivant de celui qu'on suivait
Au suivant au suivant
J'avais juste vingt ans et je me déniaisais
Au bordel ambulant d'une armée en campagne
Au suivant au suivant

Moi j'aurais bien aimé un peu plus de tendresse
Ou alors un sourire ou bien avoir le temps
Mais au suivant au suivant
Ce ne fut pas Waterloo non non mais ce ne fut pas Arcole
Ce fut l'heure où l'on regrette d'avoir manqué l'école
Au suivant au suivant
Mais je jure que d'entendre cet adjudant de mes fesses
C'est des coups à vous faire des armées d'impuissants
Au suivant et au suivant

Je jure sur la tête de ma première vérole
Que cette voix depuis je l'entends tout le temps
Au suivant au suivant
Cette voix qui sentait l'ail et le mauvais alcool
C'est la voix des nations et c'est la voix du sang
Au suivant au suivant
Et depuis chaque femme à l'heure de succomber
Entre mes bras trop maigres semble me murmurer
Au suivant au suivant

Tous les suivants du monde devraient se donner la main
Voilà ce que la nuit je crie dans mon délire
Au suivant au suivant
Et quand je ne délire pas j'en arrive à me dire
Qu'il est plus humiliant d'être suivi que suivant
Au suivant au suivant
Un jour je me ferai cul-de-jatte ou bonne soeur ou pendu
Enfin un de ces machins où je ne serai jamais plus
Le suivant le suivant

Hello Mr. Big Shot
Say, you're looking smart
I've had a tiring day
I took the kids along to the park

You've become a stranger
Every night with the boys
Got a new suit
That old smile's come back
And I kiss the children good night
And I slip away on the newly waxed floor

I've become a giant
I fill every street
I dwarf the rooftops
I hunchback the moon

Stars dance at my feet
Leave it all behind me
Screaming kids on my knee
And the telly swallowing me
And the neighbor shouting next door
And the subway trembling the roller-skate floor

I seek the buildings blazing with moonlight
In Channing Way
Their very eyes seem to suck you in with their laughter
They seem to say

You're all right now
So stop a while behind our smile
In Channing Way

Oh to die of kisses
Ecstasies and charms
Pavements of poets will write that I died
In nine angel's arms

And they all were smiling
Still seductive as sin in their eyes
The man I had been
No more hard luck stories to wear
Nothing left to give
Why the hell should I care

Ann knows my smile and buries my shadow
In Channing Way
And with her cellophane sighs
