{soundtrack}
the life and times, these bags of bones
1. {the slow descent into alcoholism - the new pornographers} my ever-loosening grip on the commonest courtesies // slipped from my hands when I really need her…
2. {medicine man - the hush sound} I don't know where to begin // I don't know how to break the bottle I'm living in // do anything to take away the memory of him // can't you see that I have no way out from leaving now?
3. {expiry dates - joydrop} before I leave this world // I want to see it from the bottom // as close as I can get to the heart of the matter
4. {call it a ritual - wolf parade} call it an act of easy mercy to tear the structure down…
5. {you better leave the stars alone - ego likeness} it’s a long way down // and the dark road is a serpent // but you and I are not so different // it’s a long way coming and your faith is crumbling // do you fear what you might find if you look inside?
6. {there is no ending - arab strap} but plates may smash and doors may slam, my comments may be less than kind // but that won't mean I've changed my mind // I'm a huffy prick the best of times; I love to sulk and shout and squeal // but please don't doubt the way I feel // cause when the Sun burns up the earth, our progeny will raise a can // here's to where it all began // and every day I hear the world is cracking up, the end is near // I hear we all should live in fear
7. {l’amour et la morte - the real tuesday weld} well I don't believe in love until I'm in love // and I don't know if it's a miracle or just chemicals in us // and though it's written in the stars: you're from Venus, I'm from Mars // and though it's pop psychology, not love, that keeps us worlds apart
8. {the first five times - stars} but you stopped yourself and kissed me // and I grabbed your wrist and told you // I know, I know, I know, I feel the same as you // and everyday, it's changed since then // in every way, I've changed since then
9. {never you mind - semisonic} switch on the box, Mr. Spock is on the table // Doctor McCoy is unable to connect his brain // sweatin’ and strainin’ // well, it seemed so simple at the time…
10. {ship of fools - world party} we're setting sail to the place on the map from which no one has ever returned…
11. {even gods do - thea gilmore} he’s the dark where the day has been bleeding // the ink this place has been needing // you close the door but it still casts a shadow
12. {a simple country doctor - eloise mason} between the head and hands, it's said, must always lie the heart // without it each is sadly lost, forever kept apart // one man a starship's guiding hand, the other its cool brain // and you the one who made the link complete between the twain
