what I'm listening to now
Things are better than my previous post(or this one, for that matter) might lead you to believe....
It Sounds Great (When You're Dead)-Robyn Hitchcock
Your mother is a journalist
Your father is a creep
They make it in your bedroom when they think that you're asleep
The scenes that they're enacting now beside your little bed
Are never in your consciousness but always in your head
Chorus:
Baby, it might sound dodgy now
But it sounds great when you're dead
Your sister is a butterfly, your brother is a drunk
You gaze at him reclining in formaldehyde a trunk
He lives and breathes on systems that nobody can supply
and you're immune to everything except the butterfly
Chorus
Baby you're incredible
I think that you're the most
I've searched around for everything like you from coast to coast
Your name engraved in diamonds, written on my heart
We're at our most together when we're at our most apart
Chorus
Let me assure you
It sounds great when you're dead.
