ALRIGHT, MAGS, FINE.

I am currently obsessed with two songs by Mike Doughty, even after hearing them once through and being pretty apathetic. I was all, eh, sounds neat. And then they got stuck in my head. And didn't leave. All weekend. Until I came home and then put each on repeat for an hour each. I'M NOT KIDDING. I've been home a couple hours, and I've had Doughtry on non-stop, and since I only have five Doughtry songs, these two have been in Serious Rotation since about 8pm.

No upload link for the songs because I Fail Epically, at all things file-sharing. Lyrics behind the cut for me to bop around to. No, seriously. This is going on the iPhone for bopping on my way to work tomorrow.

Like a Luminous Girl
Saw you in the subway station
Shining with a strange light
Girl, you’re like a weird vacation
How am I gonna make you mine?
Make you mine.

And I
Fell out on the street to write a love song
Your face stared out at me from an ad
On the bus stop wall

And I know
That you’re fine
And that you’re right
And the moonlight shines
Like a luminous girl tonight

Saw you in the Shipwreck Disco
Ghostly drifting ‘cross the floor
Wondering just where could this go
And how to get you out the door
Out the door

Shining with the lights going strong.
Shining with the lights going strong.

Saw you in the morning sunshine
You sang Star Love in the Night
Fighting all the tears that came on
Squinting in the yellow light
The yellow light

And I met you at the station in Ronkonkoma
Sweetly resonating with the things you are
And I know
That you’re fine
And that you’re right
And the moonlight shines like a luminous girl tonight
Yeah, Jesus Christ’s like a luminous girl tonight

I went to school with 27 Jennifers
16 Jenns, 10 Jennies, and then there was her

Mmm, yeah!

You might be the one that I’ve been seeking for
You might be the strange delightful
You might be the girlie who shall end all girls
You might be the sweet unspiteful

I rode the bus with 27 Jennifers
16 Jenns, 10 Jennies, throwing shade at her

music, me: friends
